⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how could i talk to someone about them being aggressive without invalidating them but also without enabling/downplaying it?⁩ ⁨⁨33⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:
Do you want to help this person be better, or do you want to protect yourself from them?

The first will require that they are receptive in some way to being helped, so it may be impossible.

The second… well, you’ve described a deeply insecure person. The need to constantly remind other people how much better they are demonstrates a real fear of being found to be inadequate. If you can determine the source and/or subject of the insecurity you can potentially weaponize it against them. That’s risky though, it may make you more of a target for retribution.

Remember, you can’t fix someone else, they can only fix themselves. You can offer guidance, but that only works if they’re open to being guided.

Perhaps the best course of action is more zen… let them learn their own lessons. Isolate yourself from damage as much as possible, and just wait for them to crash and burn. Make popcorn.

Most of them? 0.

Heck, most of them will sit there in the library list forgotten, to be absentmindedly scrolled past in five years’ time with the thought “I really should install that game and give it a try… someday…”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The transition from ALSA to Pulse never really fully happened and a lot of backend stuff is still dependent on ALSA. If you ever find that you have an audio channel that is just not working for no apparent reason (like audio input), run alsamixer and check if the channel is muted there.

I’ve found this multiple times on new Ubuntu-derivative installs, and the channel muting in ALSA is not reflected anywhere in the desktop GUI audio settings and can’t be adjusted through them, but nothing is technically broken - you just have to raise the volume on that channel via alsamixer. It’s a very annoying gotcha.

Yup, but boosting and turning would both be things you wouldn’t want to do with a weakened frame.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a warning about the ISS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
A structural crack wouldn’t necessarily be in the hull of the habitat modules. The ISS has a big frame (the Integrated Truss Structure) which supports the solar arrays, power distribution and heat radiators. If the frame is damaged, firing the engines to maintain orbit might be impossible.

Atmospheric drag reduces the altitude by about 2 km a month on average. Orbital boosting can be performed by the station’s two main engines on the Zvezda service module

AI’s primary use case so far is to further concentrate wealth with the wealthy, and to replace employees. People who think AI is bad recognize that it is in the hands of the modern generation of robber barons, and serves their interests.

Those who don’t recognize this are delusional.

Nah, I can just implant the chips. Need an insulator as substrate for mounting the components.

100%. I’m trying to convert my brain matter into an acceptable substrate for circuitry.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

If you believe that the US government will collapse and there will be no one to start garnishing your wages when you don’t report your taxes, then by all means, stop paying them.

Of course if that happens your dollars won’t be worth anything anyway.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think of anarchism?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
In the absence of other power structures (political, legal, religious, economic, etc) whoever has the means and willingness to do violence will exert their will over others. Unstructured societies always devolve into might makes right.

Ah… so if it’s traditional, natural soap then it’s made from tallow which is rendered animal fat.

Tallow is used mainly in producing soap and animal feed.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I avoid communities on lemmy.ml?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve no doubt there are some genuine commies on .ml. The problem is that it’s the other people who are running the instance and moderating the communities.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I avoid communities on lemmy.ml?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The genuine commies are totally fine. It’s the authoritarian apologists that need to fuck right off.

Well, you know

Well, you know

We’d all love to see the plan

You tell me it’s the institution

Well, you know

You’d better free your mind instead

You do realize I’m not defending rich people, right? There was no such thing in what I wrote.

What I did was describe what happens when a society experiences systemic collapse.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You wouldn't even need to stop going to work!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Do you know what happens when societal structure collapses?

People with power and wealth accumulate more power and wealth.

People with the means and willingness to do violence acquire power and wealth from the vulnerable.

People without power, wealth and the means to do violence die.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boss Mode⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Technically everything moves at c (the speed of light) through spacetime, all the time. Most objects that have mass spend the majority of their motion in the time part, and thus move relatively slowly in space. If an object moves fast in space (where fast is a significant fraction of c) then it moves noticeably slower in time because the total spacetime vector value is always c.

“Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Is it possible that some of the discomfort comes from trying to use controls that are too small?

I also have big hands, and I find the Switch controllers uncomfortable because they feel like they were meant for baby hands, and they’re flat so it’s an effort to keep hold of them. I find the Deck very easy to hold because its grips are built like a proper controller and all the buttons are within comfortable reach. The ergonomics make a big difference.

Valve put a lot of design effort into the form of the Deck:

Don’t get a Steam Deck. It’s far too convenient. Everything just works the way it’s supposed to. You tell it to install a game, it does that. You tell it to run a game, it does that. You need a break, you just tap the power button and it goes to sleep. You want to play again, you just tap the power button and it resumes the game you left running like nothing happened. You want to install a bigger hard drive so you can have more games, you can do that. You want to replace the sticks because you’ve worn them out, you can do that. You want to plug it into a TV and use it to watch Netflix, you can do that. You want to plug it into a monitor, mouse and keyboard and use it as desktop, you can do that.

You’ll sit on the couch and play games, you’ll sit on the shitter and play games, you’ll sit in bed and play games. You’ll take it on the bus, the train, the airplane, no problem.

Don’t buy a Steam Deck, you won’t get anything else done.

Oh, but you might finally play some of those untouched games in your library, so there’s that.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Lemmy is it safe to create a community on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you’re posting relevant, quality & especially original content then it’s not spam. If you crosspost it to a bunch of communities on the same server that’s a little spammy, so maybe don’t do that, but I don’t think it’s spammy to crosspost to similar communities on other servers.

Also consider defining the scope of your new community differently. It might be the same topic as another community, but is it more focused? more nuanced? what’s the niche you want to fill that the larger community doesn’t, or doesn’t dive deeply enough into?

And finally manage your expectations. You might have to be the sole contributor for a year or more before you start seeing active participation from other users.
