Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah, but I like to play PC games.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...

Homo_Stupidus,

I love the tactile feeling of writing on paper.

Homo_Stupidus,

I did. I’m disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.

Homo_Stupidus,

The insane greed is something I simply can’t comprehend. Isn’t there a point at which it’s enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren’t possible. There’s a limit to value and possible revenue. I don’t know where all of this is going, but it can’t be anywhere good, and I’m sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn’t, perhaps even shouldn’t, have more.

Homo_Stupidus,

I’m not an economist, but what is the endgame here? Eventually, in their ideal delusions, every household has their own subscription. How do they intend to fuel growth then? Just more price increases? I don’t understand this extreme capitalism. Can’t a business just be happy to be profitable? Why do they focus so much on indefinite growth like some kind of tumor?

Replacement brush for Tamiya Extra Thin

Okay, so this isn’t painting, but I figured someone would know something about this. What kind of material us the Tamiya extra thin brush made of? I tried to use some cheap synthetic paint brushes with it, but they hardened and broke apart. Anyone have any luck finding a decent brush to use when applying extra thin for...

Homo_Stupidus,

I think I could count the number of porn posts I’ve seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn’t mind more porn tbh.

Should I invest in washes as a beginner?

So I’m getting ready to dive into the world of finally painting my Star Wars Legion minis. I’m planning on getting an Army Painter speedpaint 2.0 set to start. Should I also buy the wash set? I’m not sure if it would improve my results as a beginner, though I imagine I will want them if I keep up with painting. I’m...

What color primer to use?

So I’m about to begin painting for the first time, but I’m not sure what colors to buy. I play Star Wars Legion so I’ll be painting a bunch of stormtroopers, death troopers, and other very monocolor minis. Should I use black and white primers for them? Or do neutral grey and paint the colors?...

Problems taking meds

So was curious if this was unique to me, or is a universal experience. As soon as I start thinking about taking my medication in the morning, my heart starts racing before I've even taken the bottle out of the cupboard. Then I take it and my heart continues to race for about 45 to 60 minutes before it calms down. It doesn't...

Homo_Stupidus,

New Reddit isn't gonna tolerate a sub dedicated to content piracy with an IPO in mind. That ship is sinking if not sunk already. If you don't like it here, I'm sure there are other places on the internet for discussion.

Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah I'm starting to realize some things after really exploring Lemmy after a few days. My biggest concern is that the whole federated thing isn't gonna work for me. I don't want to hunt for small communities and then risk losing them in petty squabbles by those who control them. It's like a whole bunch of little villages who claim to be united and connected, but in reality any village can cut off contact with any other for whatever reason their village leader(s) decide. You can leave the village if you don't like it, sure, but do you really want to end up as an internet nomad? I sure don't. Federation clearly does not inherently mean everyone is connected, despite what some proponents of the fediverse might say.

Homo_Stupidus,

I agree, this kind of thing is exactly what I think is going to stunt Lemmy growth. Federation is a double edged sword.

Homo_Stupidus,

It seems like Lemmy is already experiencing further fragmentation and authority struggles. It doesn't bode well for growing Lemmy as a whole. Federation seems to be a double edged sword.

Homo_Stupidus, (edited )

As a Reddit refugee, and thus part of the problem, this kind of thing is what makes me unsure if I want to use Lemmy. I don't want to suddenly lose access to communities I've become accustomed to for reasons beyond my control.

Also, is there a way to see all the instances that have specifically defederated or blocked this one?

Homo_Stupidus,

Really unfortunate, but not really unexpected honestly. The average user probably doesn't care that much and will just go along with whatever because they're just used to Reddit and aren't interested in putting forth the effort to find alternatives, regardless of how simple it actually is. It was an amazing effort by those who cared, but I'm gonna put on my tinfoil condom here and say that a lot of mods have likely been replaced and the criticality of Reddit has been intentionally suppressed in favor of positive sentiment. Don't give into vitriol, after all we did exactly what it says at the end of the post and we seem to be much happier overall. I would have never heard of Lemmy or Mastodon had all of this this not happened.

Homo_Stupidus,

Speaking their truth. In this kind of situation, the only absolute truth is that u/spez is a huge fuckwad. All else is really just opinion.

Homo_Stupidus,

I like lemmings. It's hilariously ironic considering we want to try and get away from hiveminds (at least as much as is possible on any social platform).

Homo_Stupidus,

That was the thing I enjoyed most about it really

Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah. Reddit has been my internet home since 2012. It's surreal and depressing to see it so far gone. Still unsure where I will go next, but lemmy feels familiar at least.
