The AI really just said “Stop being such a try-hard, its a game.”

Ironically enough, starting with Philosophy gets you to a loop that includes “logic”, “reason”, and a few others, but never leads back to philosophy.

I have no clue about the old launcher, but the current launcher allows you to select any version all the way back past alpha. It was a lot of fun to try to hunt down which version I probably first played.

My work calls for me to log addresses and map them out a ton. I can tell you from experience that there can be an 1191 11th Ct, 1191, 11th Ave, and 1191 11th Dr all within one block. It’s infuriating enough for me just mixing them up, I can’t imagine driving around not realizing that the other two even exist would make it way more confusing.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate! I just recently got Citra emulator running on my steam deck and it runs great. Plus, Citra can emulate local multiplayer over the internet, so I’m playing with my old buddy who moved to california. Just like we did back in our highschool days.

Yeah, even if it IS true that it’s not juicy right now, doesn’t that mentality run directly contradictory to the desire for linux to become more popular? We’re trying to increase market share, so the “not a juicy target” idea is a very wreckless way of thinking.

Sure thing!

This kit came with the screw drivers you need and even some replacement screws if you lose any. The instructions weren’t super clear, but there are tons of tutorials on taking apart joycons on youtube.

Piggybacking on this comment to say you can get hall effect joysticks for barely more than standard ones!

So simple, and yet so nice too look at :)

Since you have more experience with it, could you elaborate on what the real difference between kbin and lemmy is in your opinion? I keep hearing that kbin can interact with Lemmy and Mastadon, so it sounds like its just “better”, but I feel like thats gotta be a very oversimplified understanding.

Well said, the problem is, I post nothing on instagram. So my presence on pixelfed is not at all a reason for anyone in my circle to join lol. I imagine since we’re all the nerds of our families/friend-groups here, this is probably the case for a lot of us.

Absolutely! I’ve made adaptors and replacement bits for my and my brothers 90’s cars. The kind of little plastic bits and clips that aren’t nearly crucial enough for anyone to make anymore. That and custom desk/cabinet organizers are the kind of thing that you can only reasonably accomplish with a 3D printer.

There are certainly other ways that you can just save money, but I’ve found the most satisfying thing is when you find a niche like this that simply could not be done without a printer. I don’t even have anthing crazy expensive, I did most of my printing on an Anet A8 and only recently “splurged” by getting a prusa mini.

Oh my god… WHERE’S EPOXY HOTDOG GUY?!

Bro its so easy, simply have 5 years of linux experience. Legit tho I’ve been trying linux out for a long time and the only computer I really try to repair instead of reinstalling is my server, cuz I don’t remotely remember how I set that thing up in the first place.

Hmmm interesting points. Those numbers do look pretty steep for a server with only 20 users, but I can see how there’s more too it than just the costs of a server. Im sure its also harder if you have a server that ends up hosting big communities but has few users.

Definitely true at the moment as I’m trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I’ll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.

I wonder how much that comes out to per user. Im sure its not negligable, but I have a hard time believing a few hundred text posts and images actually take $8/mo (lookin at twitter) to store on a server.

I like that perspective! But at the same time, if the user’s are both the producers and the consumers, where does that leave the platform hosters. We gotta pay our tax at somepoint if we wish to have the space to produce and consume.

I’ve always been a wikipedia donator, but with the fediverse its a little bit harder. I don’t ascribe to one community/instance more than any others, but I don’t want to have to figure out how to spread my donation accross all the instances that I interact with. If everyone just donates to where their home account is, does that balance itself out?

I’m also very new to lemmy so forgive me if I’m a bit mistaken here, but I saw a decent analogy on the dbzero instance. An Instance is like a street and the communities are like businesses in that street. You can go to multiple streets (instances like lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, etc) and find a macdonalds (/c/technology) on each one. You can walk into each and expect to find the same-ish fries (content) but the people will be different, and if you talk to someone at macdonalds on 1st ([email protected]) you won’t hear a response from someon at the macdonalds on 2nd ([email protected]).

EDIT: But of course importantly, those streets are adjacent to eachother (federated) so you (your account) can walk freely between them even though you live on 1st street (lemmy.world)

That’s how I’m trying to make sense of it anyway
