  Dang, I just got to episode five last week too. I had a feeling they would cancel this even from the first episode though, so I’m not too surprised.

  I feel it was decent, but it’s a hard premise to pull off I feel. Most notably I feel this show would have landed more a few years ago. Some of the bits were a bit cheesy in a way that doesn’t necessarily land as much these days.

  Maybe the issue it had was that it was trying to write to too broad of an audience? It’s going for a niche of nerds that maybe want to learn a bit more about what things are actually like inside these gaming companies, but then I feel some of the humor is washed down to be more palatable for even kids to watch. It had Rob McElhenney and David Hornsby from It’s Always Sunny which were great casting picks, but the humor they were delivering was very PG in comparison.

  Thank you for you detailed response! I think something like Bazzite would be more up my alley based on what you said. Something that is hard to mess up is something I’d be more comfortable with for sure.

  I appreciate your offer for troubleshooting help as well!

  Is there an easy way to port all my stuff to Linux? I would not have made the switch in the past, but all the good will I attributed to Microsoft is pretty much gone. I’ve heard Mint is petty easy to hop onto?

  Reddit has about soft power for a while now. Ever since they scapegoated Ellen Pao, imo. They’ve been changing things relatively slowly compared to Twitter in terms of enshitification, and being more careful about who they piss off at any given time. They’ve become more emboldened ever since they allowed bot farms and bad actors that commented on their behalf, mostly around the time they killed 3rd party apps.

  Reddit could be seeing tons of users leaving the site daily, but they’re for sure replacing them with bots to paint a better picture and drive engagement. The same thing applies to Twitter as well. It’s why on BlueSky for instance, I don’t see ragebait dominating my feed due to the more robust moderation tools compared to Twitter and Reddit.

  Lemmy has avoided most bots due to the manual approval processes from what I can see. I think Lemmy should strongly consider implementing BlueSky’s moderation tools though.

  In a sense, we are integrated with the previous hominids. They didn’t go extinct so much they bred with early humans and their DNA is preserved in our own.

  Speaking ill of someone not present to defend themselves is commonly in bad tastes, imo. Commonality of occurrence certainly doesn’t make it any less wrongful. I don’t think it’s a gender specific issue based on the story being about guys doing this.
