Do not take dietary advice from randos on the internet, yes, but also unless it’s in relation to a medical condition or you are talking to a professional nutritionist don’t take dietary advice from your doctor either. Med school teaches basically nothing about nutrition, and it’s pretty sad how often you can figure out when a doctor went to med school by which fad diet they recommend.
Authoritarianism is all about concentrating power around fewer people. That what authoritarianism IS. Giving more power to the least powerful people is always anti-authoritarian. Yes, there are always trade-offs, no they’re not always as obvious as this one, but more power to more people is never authoritarian.
I understand that our local galaxy group is considered “gravitationally bound” and therefore exempt from the expansion from each other ((, but we don’t seem to have other galaxies collected into their own “local groups” of gravitationally bound clusters, so are we saying we’re somehow unique? Is there a trick of...
The short simple version is that if galaxies happen to be close enough to each other they fall toward each other faster than the space between them expands. That’s what “gravitationally bound” means.
Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I’ve played through (Skyrim and...
Fallout 4 kind of in a weird place where it’s simultaneously a bad Fallout game and arguably the best Bethesda game. How much you like it really just depends on which of those things you’re more into. I’ve personally never really gotten the appeal of Bethesda games. I usually end up spending 90% of my time going through my inventory analyzing the price to weight ratio of all the worthless junk I’ve accumulated, and the worlds have always just felt really shallow to me personally, but clearly I’m in the minority. I am sort of curious why more people seem to have agreed with me on Fallout 4 than on Skyrim though. I guess maybe it’s just that the people who talk about it the most are more likely to be Fallout fans than Bethesda fans.
Until someone figures out a better way of doing it that’s not a real answer. I’m not going to pay for every website that gets shared on every website I regularly visit. Even if I wanted to, I just don’t have that kind of money.
I don’t know how to fix this, but it is fundamentally broken.
Okay, but if you aren’t making a single multi-billion dollar game that doesn’t need a storefront because it functionally is one, then Steam is by far the biggest and most dominant player out there.
Seriously? The old core i7 870 (not a typo) I have in my closet meets the requirements? Adding the watermark for CPUs older than that just seems mean-spirited.
No, you don’t understand. The only acceptable amount of money is all of it. If you are making less than all of the money, then it can never be enough and your daddy will never love you.
Isn’t that a prerequisite for enshitification? Publicly-traded companies are required (by law, I think) to maximize profits for their shareholders, even if that means utterly ruining their original product (Reddit, Boeing, etc.), yes? What do you think?
It’s not really direct cause and effect, but yeah. The incentives for a publicly-traded company make enshitification far more appealing then it would be for most other organizations.
Oh, also, it’s a common misconception that publicly-traded companies are required to maximize profits. They can have whatever goals their shareholders want. It’s just that the way modern publicly-traded companies work, most of their shareholders are people quickly buying and trading shares based on who they think will earn them the most money this month, so that sort of inevitably becomes the goal of any publicly-traded company.
Apparently it’s okay to commit genocide of an entire ethnic group if a few of them are Nazis, I guess. 'Cause, you know, swastikas made all Germans evil, and it wasn’t all the war and genocide making the Nazis evil, right?
I don’t know why people keep saying that flatpaks don’t support cli apps. They do. I know it’s awkward to type out flatpak run io.github.zyedidia.micro or whatever every time you want to use a text editor, but aliases fix that pretty neatly, and that example wasn’t hypothetical.
Even if you did find a ventilation shaft big enough to crawl through, it would still be a terrible idea. First, they’re made of hollow metal. Banging around in there would be incredibly loud. Second, they’re not really designed to hold up the weight of an adult human. You’d just destroy it if you ever put your weight in a spot that wasn’t supported, and you can’t see where it’s supported from the inside.
Sadly no. The screws hold the sections they’re made of together. The supports don’t always have to be on those joints though. They tend to be. It’s better to support a joint when you can, they just don’t always have to be.
To be fair, there aren’t a lot of areas around that size in the world with deserts, jungles, and monsoons. It’s a pretty good comparison, as much as it’s possible for there even to be one between regions that large.
I was just watching a tiktok with a black girl going over how race is a social construct. This felt wrong to me so I decided to back check her facts....
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like you once. Lemmy here is my nice little hole. If you think anything happening here is going to change the world you are delusional. Go somewhere with people who can and will do things.
Jokes on you then. I’m probably staring because I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with that eye makeup, and I have no idea what that face is supposed to mean.
You could read the text next to it. They have an official specification, and they’re occasionally used as cells in larger battery packs, but they never got adopted in consumer products, so you can’t just buy an off the shelf A battery. Nobody has bothered to get a picture of one, because nobody actually cares that much.

Was banning human slavery an authoritarian decision?
Obviously it was a good thing that it was banned, but I’m just wondering if it would technically be considered authoritarian....
