Getting an inheritance is generational wealth. How come generational wealth is ok but only if I’m the one receiving it?
Your question seems like a strawman. My comment was only about the apparent conflict between the two stances and I was not trying to make any comment about whether one or the other is the correct way.
- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 18 hours ago:
Yeah I find it a little funny that people complain about generational wealth and then complain about not getting an inheritance.
- Comment on Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks 3 days ago:
Same here. A smart CEO wouldn’t force RTO, they would lease out that unused space or expand using those unused desks.
- Comment on Evil 3 days ago:
As someone else commented, it appears that the license isn’t free because when you share it the new person now owes the original author a beer if they ever meet them, so the middle person isn’t free to do whatever they like because of the ongoing obligation being forced on their users.
- Comment on Evil 4 days ago:
Ah yes that makes sense.
- Comment on Evil 4 days ago:
I thought it was free as in speech not free as in beer? So if it costs a beer then isn’t it still free (as in speech)? Or is this a OSI vs FSF difference?

I’m not sure anything described as “hardcore” is my kind of game haha, but thanks for the suggestion.
- Comment on Godot Engine – 2024 Showreel 1 week ago:
Thanks for the suggestion! Looks like they have demos so I’ll check them out 🙂
- Comment on Godot Engine – 2024 Showreel 1 week ago:
Heaps of cool games in there! Anyone played any and want to recommend them?
- Comment on Is this Mastodon? 1 week ago:
Check out the join site here: joinmbin.org
There is a list of servers there to check out.
- Comment on Is this Mastodon? 1 week ago:
I believe the current state is:
- Mastodon users can participate on Lemmy
- Lemmy users cannot follow Mastodon users
So you may see comments or posts from Mastodon users, but if you want to follow Mastodon users you’ll need a Mastodon account.
There is a middle ground. Mbin allows you to participate on both Lemmy and Mastodon.

Maybe one day I’ll have time again!
I had an Index, and after many years one of my lighthouses died (was actually from the Vive I had before that). But I wasn’t playing it enough to justify buying a new one.
Now the kids are getting older I might get back into it at some point.

I don’t have mine anymore :(

Ooh I really liked this game, I played it in VR. I remember thinking they did great job with the difficulty curve.

Yes, but this is something you are using 5-10 times a day… right? Something else can go.
- Comment on Meal prep 3 weeks ago:
As someone in a Commonwealth country, it is so weird to me that people would microwave a jug of water to make a cup of tea instead of buying a $5 kettle.
- Comment on Not something urgent, but the Aussie parliament passed new laws yesterday and it could impact Lemmy.world (in a year) 3 weeks ago:
Most Lemmy admins are just trying to do their best. If the Aussie government publishes realistic guidelines for small services then many instances will probably make an effort to follow them. How enforceable it is is not the point.
What “Lemmy” will be arguing this and where, though?
“Lemmy” as a thought experiment, not Lemmy with a lawyer in court. Devs wouldn’t be affected, it would apply to the people running the service (I.e instance admins)
- Comment on Not something urgent, but the Aussie parliament passed new laws yesterday and it could impact Lemmy.world (in a year) 3 weeks ago:
The article says they can’t require them, but can offer it as one option so long as there are others.
- Comment on Not something urgent, but the Aussie parliament passed new laws yesterday and it could impact Lemmy.world (in a year) 3 weeks ago:
I’d be pretty confident the Australian Government isn’t just gonna let Facebook update the Ts and Cs to say no one under 16 and call it a day. They are expected to actually try to enforce it.
Lemmy can at least argue under 16s aren’t enticed to come here, no matter how much we offer free (as in speech) stuff.
- Comment on Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller 4 weeks ago:
I’ve always used rechargeables. While I agree to some extent, the action to pop them out makes it a lot easier to get them out than in the Xbox 360 controller from around the same time. The Xbone ones are easier now but perhaps they will do steam controller 2 in a similar way to the 1 but leave a little extra clearance.
- Comment on Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller 4 weeks ago:
Better battery placement, because the original is a nightmare to get batteries out.
I’m curious about this. There’s a little switchy button thing and the batteries pop right out. I’m not sure what makes it a nightmare, I quite like the battery placement.

Are you talking about the app specifically, or about Bluesky as a platform?

Often when logged out the feed order will be set to “Active” (Basically time since last comment with a factor vote score).
Check that you still have this setting. You might be on “Hot” or “New”.
Its probably worth checking all your account settings to make sure they are set how you like.

Yeah, I don’t know if @Stamets@lemmy.world is a mycologist but he’s certainly named after one.
- Comment on I feel you, green guy. 1 month ago:
Hey cheers for the heartfelt message. I’m cruising through life just fine. I’ve done plenty in my time, and I don’t think I’ve done much out of societal expectations. I’ve never had any big life goals or even small bucket list items, but it works for me.
- Comment on Yep, it's me 1 month ago:
Haha I have one of these.
Them: how come most trees are green?
Me: Oh, well the leaves have s…
Them: OK goodbye
I also have another one that likes to hear all the details, and as a young kid they would ask me to explain stuff while they fell asleep.
Me: OK, sleeping time
Them: Can you tell me why we don’t two suns while I lie down?
Me: oh, boy, well… [then I talk until they fall asleep]
I think they were about 3 or 4 when we did this.

- Comment on Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought? 2 months ago:
adjustable distance between lenses and the display
Does this help focus? For the headsets that have this, I thought it was so you could fit your glasses.
- Comment on Bug bounty denied? Hmmm ... OK, let's see ... 2 months ago:
I can see both angles of this. Especially since the original disclosure didn’t have the full detail of how it could be exploited to access company systems, and they (the writeup author) never disclosed that update.
You can see how a large company could miss this in the multitude of people trying to claim bug bounties. I fully believe that had they understood the issue they should have fixed it, since it’s within their power and basically a service to their clients. But I can understand how the limited detail in the original disclosure demonstrated a much lower level risk than the end exploit that was never reported.

Sorry you’ve been downvoted for trying to start a discussion.
Is this not the swiss cheese thing? No control is perfect, so you layer them. If there is no reason why Zendesk should let this happen, then it shouldn’t happen.
