…or basic.

Matthew Dow Smith, whomever the fuck that is, has a sophisticated delusion about what’s actually going on and he’s incorporated it into his persecution complex. Not impressed.

This is the weird, sentimental attitude that has me buried in clutter

It is not.

What does that word mean to you?

bilb, 3 months ago

Can you answer or no? Because I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Well this “engagement” ends with nothing.

But don’t worry friend, Biden has nothing to worry about with excellent advocates like you. You clearly have it all figured out.

Yeah, that’ll fix it!

I don’t think it can be considered malware unless its doing something malicious that you don’t expect. I don’t want or need it on my system, but people who want to play these multiplayer games have a valid use-case and can make that decision themselves.

Of course, you may have just intended to snarky and I’m just being tedious.

It’s worse than Skyrim. Skyrim is at least fun to look at and explore.

what the fuck are you talking about

many such cases

By default, lemmy will federate openly with any other instance. You can then block specific instances. (Disallow-list)

You can additionally disable federation altogether, or only federate with a specified list. (Allow-list).

That hasn't been the case for a while now. It also never truly mattered, the code is available for you to modify.

I'm gay too. I don't really understand what this post is about. Your complaint is seeing someone you're not attracted to? That can't be right. There has to be something I'm missing.

Above all else, echo chambers are boring.

I'm going to set up a general purpose instance tomorrow with the intention of handling a relatively large number of users. The main problem is choosing a domain!

It’s a week later, but I did get this done finally. I’ve set up lem.monster . Still doing some tweaking, but it’s open.

Like seemingly most people here, I use Firefox primarily. But while I'm working I use Edge, both to separate my work/non-work computer usage somewhat and because I work mostly with Microsoft technologies anyway, and it integrates nicely with office365 as one would expect. It's a perfectly good browser with some nice features. I think if I needed to use a chrome derivative, it would be either Edge or Vivaldi.

I have one too and I feel mostly the same as you. It's ridiculously expensive (and fragile! Be sure to have insurance!) and not what I consider a practical purchase, but I like having it.

I do think it would be interesting to try to run a general-purpose instance that operates with the same global rules (more or less) as Reddit. The reason I can't imagine doing it myself is that admin duties on such an instance is rather daunting.

Man, I’ve been a programmer for over a decade now and my eyes still glaze over when I read regex.

I thought is was a little too perfect. Most AI generated text is pretty boring and has much fewer "laugh lines."

Those options don’t seem to be present on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
