Yes I suspect that indeed was the joke

I don’t think the goal of Beehaw is momentum or growth, or at least that’s the way it’s seemed to me

Beehaw was around much before the current “population explosion” of the Fediverse, though, and by all accounts was doing just fine. Naturally it didn’t have as much content as it currently does, but the sort of reddit-esque content flood that some people seem to need really isn’t a requisite for sites to thrive.

I’m on a small lemmy/reddit -like content aggregator / forum that has maybe a few hundred users, and while it’s certainly quiet compared to Lemmy nowadays, it’s got a small active community and nobody feels like it would need more “volume” to be a nice place to be.

See my other comment on this thread, I think it applies to your comment too

So not manufacturing weapons will somehow stop Russia?

You’re assuming that Russia doesn’t have any imperialist aims and will simply magically turn peaceful once the evil, evil west stops manufacturing weapons

Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll (www.theguardian.com)

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions....

Because it turned out so damn well for the UK when they did let the average person decide on policy that they have no fucking clue about, didn’t it?

But if a change for the better is to come, it will come from the kids.

Here in Finland, the under 25s are much more conservative than Millennials or even Gen X. The most popular party of that demographic in our last parliamentary election was a right wing extremist one – and I do mean extremist: they have multiple literal neo-Nazi politicians, and our Speaker of the Parliament who’s from that party has publicly fantasized about murdering gay people.

I’ve given up any hope of things getting better in my lifetime. I’m actually somewhat thankful I’ve got a medical condition that means I’ve only got about a 50% chance of even being alive in 20 years; dying from multiple organ failure is not something I look forward to, but it seems much more attractive than where we’re heading

Don’t forget accelerating global warming that will get catastrophic in just a few decades, even if we went carbon negative right at this second

"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

And at least here in Finland, the under 25s are actually more conservative than millennials or even Gen X, which is highly alarming. They voted for an extremist right wing party in droves in our latest parliamentary election, something like 30% I think

Cloudpunk is nice, although it’s more of a “walking simulator” than a fully-fledged RPG. It’s a cyberpunk-ish indie game in which you’re a delivery driver, although with a flying car and a sentient dog.

statistia-netcontrib.csv is using some weird country code that isn’t ISO 3166-2, because it’s got what I assume to be Latvia with the code LA which is actually Laos, and that’s reflected on your chart too – I was initially a bit puzzled as to why Laos was listed as being in the EU. At a quick glance it seems to be the only weird one though

Ah I thought you pulled that from some Eurostat database and they were using wonky country codes. The AU / AT mixup is a classic one, and since the spelling of Austria and Australia is so close it’s easy to miss that mistake – just like I did

Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win

One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn’t as cut-and-dry as you’d assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he’s way worse than Musk

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

The thing is that Fallout: New Vegas used the same engine, and it proved that you can do a much more interesting and engaging story and quests with Creation Engine compared to what Bethesda is capable of. Sure, Creation is still a bit of a piece of shit when it comes to engines, but it can be used for creating complex storylines etc. and not just “go there and push a button” or “go there and kill a person”

To expand on this, the problem with huge releases is that bugs tend to pile up along with the new features, simply because more stuff has been changed. You’re much more likely to experience a painful release if you pile in months of changes, and this is doubly true for a distributed system with no rigorous testing of the system itself instead of just units

The only libertarian I personally know is anti-LGBT+, just not as rabidly outspoken about it as a “regular” conservative. He’s the sort who’d be happy with gay people being murdered on the streets as long as he doesn’t have to do it himself

Estääkö mikään Trumpia toteamasta, että he eivät aio 5. artiklaa noudattaa siinä vaiheessa kun itänaapuri on toipunut Ukrainan-sekoilustaan ja lähtee potkimaan esim. Latvian rajatolppia?

Tähän siis sisältyy implisiittisesti oletus, että Trump tulee jenkkien seuraavat vaalit voittamaan – ja kaikesta päätellen siellä on kongressi päätynyt samaan johtopäätökseen.
