    It’s smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.



  • Hey there! Thank you for your work on this bot. I’m in the process of installing a version of it for the Seattle Kraken community this morning.

    I ran into a plemmy bug, but I submitted a pull request and the dev merged it and pushed a version update (0.3.10) in a matter of minutes, so that was awesome. Still trying to get the config.py to run correctly so it prompts me for my bot user creds/community url/etc, but this is because I haven’t had any experience working with python and very little working with git based distributions.





  • I’m kind of in this boat myself now and am thinking about if I should try to get diagnosed. Had it not been for adhd memes on Reddit and here I would never have identified the commonalities. I feel like it might be a stretch, but my procrastination is legendary around the house and my flaws seem pretty ADHD symptoms.

    I’ve just feared seeking a diagnosis in that it might have negative repercussions on my life, (which I generally like as is), but I’m giving it more thought now.

    Yep. This is a huge burden on the poorest in our society and basically means the poorest will never be able to afford bond and the richest will always be able to afford bond. At both ends of the spectrum, bond is basically meaningless. If someone is sufficiently rich, if they want to run, they will, regardless of if $200k is forfeit. If someone is sufficiently poor, they’ll never be able to afford to be out of jail, even if they have no intention on running. I’m not saying that Trump is, in fact, a flight risk, but bond is stupid and if someone should be in jail, then they should be in jail or if they should not be in jail, then they should not be in jail. I know it’s an imperfect system living in an imperfect world, but can someone please come up with some sort of technology mechanism so that the current bond system is rendered obsolete, please?

    I feel like the answer is making jail/prison less of a fucking tortuous experience (ala the Scandinavian model), but some people seem to think that jail/prison being the worst possible place to be is a feature, not a bug. If jail were less torturous, then it would be conceivable for rich people who deserve jail to have to go there while awaiting trial and the bond system could be done away with…but that would mean making it nicer for everyone, so probably won’t happen.

    Lol, yeah. I haven’t done much, but want to get our ducks in a row before the start of the season, when I’ll likely be more in-tune to the happenings at the club. I want to just make sure that anyone coming over from the old-world will have a functioning and capable replacement. Hopefully when things get going for the season, our membership will jump up and we’ll get some good conversations going. Right now, lemmy is good for “general content” but pretty light on smaller communities. My goal is to present this place as a fully functional replacement so that when a user switches, they don’t have to go back to scratch that itch.

    Daily thread might be ambitious given the number of subscribers currently, but I’m not opposed to starting that as well. I’ll look into it.




  • Of course all of this just adds more to emissions. Which is all of the problem….

    ^^ from above

    how about we shift that attention into laws and infrastructure that penalize this behavior by corporations

    Completely agree, this is what we should be focusing on. YOUR CAR isn’t doing shit. ALL OF OUR CARS collectively are doing shit. You can change your behavior and feel better about yourself, but this problem was caused by laws, oil money lobbying, and the resulting policy. Laws and policy are the way out of it, not making people feel bad about their “choices.”
