CALIGVLA

I open the site and the first video is Joe Rogan talking to Trump. Urgh, not a good first impression.

Yes and no. Would be nice to have more active niche communities, but I don’t want this place to become full-on Reddit.

and was not just some sort of “Russia bad” thing from Torvalds

The way he announced it and responded to the critics very much made it seem like that. He legitimately needs to shut the fuck up and get a PR person to talk in his stead.

Kind of. A bastard in the sense that he was a major influence to modern men’s fashion and fast fashion as a whole, but otherwise he was really a victim of the system that sought a way out and unwittingly contributed to the very same system, not to mention that he was kind of a jerk.

It looks really good, not quite as good as Vivaldi but hopefully it gets there. One thing that bothers me is the CPU requirement, that is bonkers, you can’t run a browser if you don’t have a decently modern CPU?

… Subbed.

Quite frankly I’d rather not say it, I don’t want to start shit/drama.

I would recommend sh.itjust.works

lol

I was banned from a large sub there because I downvoted some clickbaity posts by the mod themselves. Literally that, downvoting.

My computer is a temple and merchants can get out.

Gotta steal this one and start using it.

Technical Death Metal. Depending of the band you get this ridiculously crazy and sophisticated instrumentalism and polyrhythmic beats like Archspire, other times you get more progressive, experimental groups like Blood Incantation that mix and match genres and soundscapes.

In fact, the newest album from Blood Incantation is a good example of that, one moment you’re listening to fast blast beats and then it suddenly takes a hard turn into pink floyd and slowly starts crescendoing back into fast Death Metal over the next couple of minutes. It’s an absurd aural experience to say the least, but I really like experimental music that pushes boundaries even when it doesn’t totally work.

Well I mean, be the change you want to see then, post more. Other than that, you really won’t find any online communities without the occasional power hungry mods, that’s just the sad reality that power corrupts.

Commenting not so much, but posting is almost exclusively done by a regular few. Reddit was already like that, but Lemmy is infinitely smaller so it becomes obviously apparent.

I’m using it already. Something must be wrong on my end if that’s not the intended behavior.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m using Droidify instead of the main app, but I’m pretty sure it’s enabled. In fact, let me double check… Yep, it is. Either my phone is fucked or I’m doing something wrong, because it always asks me to confirm updates.

On Android 14 and this is not my experience at all, I still have to confirm every single update on my phone, they download in the background alright but then I need to go one by one and confirm it.

and his roles in the garden of Eden

Not to mention that the idea of the snake being Satan is a more modern interpretation, for a good while the snake was just a snake.

For real, I’ve saved a countless amount of money on games by using this site for the last decade or so. If you’re gaming on PC and you don’t already use it (or something similar) then you’re doing yourself (and your wallet) a massive disservice.

TIL what a Merkin is. Fucking hell, enough internet for today.

They think alphabet agencies can’t hack/infect/bug their fairphone at will without them even noticing.
