North Europe is a frozen wasteland where nothing grows for like a third of the year, being able to digest lactose in those months is hugely advantageous. I don’t think “winter” counts as an “extreme specific scenario”

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 weeks ago:
Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.
Later on, as in, in like 30 years? Assuming physical Switch 2 games don’t become prized collector’s items like every other Nintendo consoles’ physical games

What if most of the people that want to pay a GOG membership are Linux gamers that would be willing to pay for official Linux support?

I don’t think anyone is saying that the story of Hades isn’t portrayed well with the rougelike style, but it’s totally ok to say “I don’t have time to play a game that’s designed such that you fail dozens of times before you win”

The numbers I’m “throwing around” say that you’re literally and objectively wrong
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 5 weeks ago:
Because over half the people voted for him
No they didn’t. Only like 60% of eligible voters actually voted in this past election. Which means only about 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. About 80% of the country’s population are eligible voters, and since only 30% voted for Trump, 80% x 30% = 24% of the population voted for him. Roughly a quarter of people voted for him, not half.
And for anyone who’s wondering, “why did only 60% of eligible voters vote?” The answer is mostly voter suppression in various forms.

Eh, banks give out loans for people to start restaurants all the time, and restaurants are notoriously risky businesses. There’s hundreds of worker-owned co-ops in the States, so it’s not impossible to find a bank that will fund them.
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 1 month ago:
I was about to say “but you can’t emulate the HD remakes with a PS2 emulator, those only released for the PS4”, but then I remembered they were all released for PC lol. So yeah good shout, if you wanna play the Kingdom Hearts games on the deck, just buy the HD remakes on Steam

For anyone who wants to play Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, don’t forget about Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, which was a PS2 port of the GBA game. It’s integral to the very wild and wacky story of the KH franchise, you’ll be (even more) lost if you skip it and go straight to KH II

So, non-federated means one company/organization has full control over some product/service/website (like Twitter, Reddit, etc).
Federated means that individuals can independently run instances of some product/service/website, and all those instances can talk to one another and share/sync data (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc).

We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.
We don’t do that with self-delusion and deflecting blame though.
The blame doesn’t rest solely on conservatives for this current situation, sure. Some of it falls on the huge number of people who “protest voted”. Some of it rests on the Democratic party for pretending to be the party of the people, but really just being a milquetoast center-right corporatist party that serves the same masters as the Republican party.
For any of us to “come together” and “agree about what we are to do from here,” for any one group to trust the other, we all have to come to terms with and accept our share of the blame. Deflecting blame or deluding ourselves with rhetoric like “we didn’t do anything wrong, we were just lied to” is unproductive. No side will trust the other as long as anyone is still making excuses for themselves.
Be adults, look inward instead of projecting blame, accept responsibility for your actions, and then maybe we can come together to fight against fascism.

The only one ignoring things is you. You’re ignoring my whole point. Which is that your personal bar for enshittification is lower than any of the definitions we’ve given in this thread, because it’s basically “anything I think is bad is enshittification”

You get all these meatheads with delusions of being some sort of Spartan badass because they took 300 as a documentary.

It was a feature that they added a long time ago, and it doesn’t interfere with or worsen the experience of buying, organizing, or playing my video games… Plenty of other products and services out there have features that some don’t like or don’t use, but that isn’t the same thing as enshittification.
I have explained it though
