There are no good code bases, only less bad ones.

Game devs: "No thanks, we're waiving the fees by using a different engine."

If you don't understand, start walking further away from the cities.

If you still don't understand, you're not done walking.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

I didn't leave to make the service worse.

The service got worse, and so I left.

Use Firefox.

Support Firefox.

Using alternative Chromium based browsers is not it.

"Women are too emotional to vote, they should only have firearms instead" is parody material.

Decades of traditional automakers sabotaging the whole concept of EVs should make them the bad guys when it comes to EVs.

Elon has managed to make them the good guys.

Anyone still on Twitter at this point is getting what they asked for. It's like you drove past every "last restroom for X miles" sign, and now you're in the middle of nowhere and have to piss.

Linus criticizing Steve on “proper journalistic practices” shows an incredible lack of self-awareness.

People tend to overrate the harms from potential changes, while simultaneously vastly underrating the harms that already exist that they’ve gotten used to.

YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

Assuming we're talking about our reality, this device is getting made by a corporation who will release it as soon as the potential profit exceeds the cost from its non-zero error rate.

No, I'm not getting into some Musk 2.0's shoddy body disintegrator.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

My man's out here binary search tree-ing his plugins, lol.

Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.

There doesn't need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn't used to be so damn consolidated.

I don't give one shit about "Lemmy vs. Reddit". I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.

As someone that was a late teenager during the run of Infinity Engine games, and then witnessed the subsequent consolization and decline of CRPGs... seeing Baldur's Gate as a CRPG again and having it be a marquee AAA-caliber release is kinda mind-blowing.

The 2000s were a mistake, and so much of modern indie development is about undoing those mistakes. "Boomer" shooters, immersive sims, CRPGs, point and click adventures? All back on the menu, baby.

Instance Blocking - Unlike Mastodon, Lemmy does not provide a feature for individual users to block an instance (yet).

This is the real problem.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO BURN THE PASTA

HEAVY use of "Don't Recommend Channel" is essential to make YouTube tolerable. Clobber all the garbage.
