I have been on Linux for years now, but known hardware is the reason why things will tend to break less often with driver updates, and updates in general. With a PC that gets hardware upgrades semi regularly, that is much more of an issue in my experience.

I was going to mention that driver support for known hardware is pretty huge. I am not a tinkerer at all, so I personally find this appealing.

Same era iirc. Right before Altavista and Lycos, I believe.

This reminds me of https://elan.school/ . Fair warning, It is pretty long and is the opposite of a light read.

Honestly it is way better on PC. I don't think the controls translate very well to touch screen. It gets pretty damn hard, and I don't think I've ever been able to get very far on phone or tablet. That could be a me thing, though. The game is amazing nonetheless.

It's all the same guy.

And there is so much to that series of books in terms of complex topics that are dealt with in subtle ways that I don't understand how they think it is Y/A.

I am not autistic, but I have pretty severe misophonia. Sand paper is the worst. Just thinking about it is uncomfortable.

They are constantly adding levels too.

Edit: maps to levels

You mean like the slang for champagne? No. That’s bubbly.

It is an amazing story. It is worth it if you have the time.

I mean, that isn't true. r/All is still available even with the shit app. It just takes 5 seconds of inconvenience now.

This was a very well-said take. No notes.

Fuck. What an unlikable piece of shit transphobe.

My brother is very disabled (diabetic and neuropathy to the point where he can't even hold a plate of food). The sentiment of someone like that being completely unable to contribute any kind of labor is sadly all over the place. Some, sadly, think of labor as "meaningful work" in the sense of tilling fields etc., but disabled people can very much aid in the society in terms of art, writing, or just being a joy and inspiration to those around them.

Being online via Lemmy caused me not one, but 2 mental collapses (I'm fine now, diagnosed with bipolar and have meds now) so I decided to give PieFed a shot, since I get bored on "fedi" (I hate that name for the Misskey forks). The promise of better features faster seemed amazing (politics of Lemmy devs aside). I've been around since the very first day of the Reddit API fiasco, and despite this 2 week-old account, I've been around the block. The age of this account is not coincidental. Thankfully, the FAF exposed Rimu's bullshit so I decided to start fresh yet again with the FAF (I'm already an anarchist, so why not?) due to this inexcusable drama stirring.

My biggest hope is that the AN fork of PieFed is deployed soon and properly maintained, because Rimu has changed from "dev making a new product with easy contributions" to "perhaps the biggest authoritarian threat to the threadiverse driven by sycophants" in a matter of weeks.

Rimu has banned some of the largest voices on the platform with this fell-swoop. This entire thing likely deserves its own static website in order to document what's going on, because people on the flagship PieFed instance are never likely to see it. I may do this just because this is worse more than many realize, I think. We collectively saw threads dot net happening and basically all of the threadiverse defederated due to obvious foreseeable issues.

This reminds me of that guy that was DM'ing people with a ban every time they used the word "bro" but on a much larger and more influential scale. We aren't talking about a mod (that was on piefed btw, I think he made his own instance) now, but an entire development effort that can deeply harm not only this platform, but the very idea of this platform as a whole.

In short,
FUCK RIMU

It's kinda weird to me that people are just now discovering this. !yurimemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone is really active, after all. I suppose you're one of the lucky 10,000 today.
