Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.
I end up there from Google a lot, mostly because the other search results are usually ads or clickbait. I haven’t posted or logged into my account since rif went down.
It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...
I’ve only used it to post a “moved to Lemmy” message on my profile (the first and last time I’ve ever posted to my own profile page, finally found a use for it I guess). I’m sure I’ll find myself visiting from time to time since it’s so hard to Google anything without landing on Reddit. But I’m hoping the fediverse will replace that, given enough time.
I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Threads should be pre-emptively defederated by Lemmy/kbin instances if it tries to join us. I’m a bit confused what the problem would be. When Meta does its usual corporate bullshit over at Threads, how would that hurt a user or community based on Lemmy.world? If anything, wouldn’t it...
I’ve seen a lot of positive praise and sentiment for XVI even from longtime fans and I find that worrying. I finished the game and thought it was a solid 5/10 at best and was happy for it to be over. The game felt closer to Genshin Impact than it did Final Fantasy....
I’m only part way through (a bit past bahamut) so I’m not fully qualified to comment on the game as a whole, and I’m avoiding reviews until I’m finished (also haven’t played 14 or 15). So far I’m really enjoying it because it just has that Final Fantasy charm that squeenix are so good at. I love the world, the story is good (if leaning a bit too heavily on game of thrones for my liking), and the characters are likeable enough. Combat got fun once it clicked. That said…
There are a LOT of really obvious things to criticize. Over tutorialized, incredibly boring fetch quests, and progression systems that are wierdly linear and restrictive. It’s frustrating because some small tweaks could make it so much better. Let me explore and discover quests for myself instead of witholding them until the game decides to make them available and then spamming me with notifications. Disable the on-screen quest markers or at least let me turn them off (the “animal instinct” feature is neat, don’t need more than that). Let me upgrade my weapons past +2 and specialise them with elemental synergies so there isn’t just one “correct” gear set to use at any given time. Give different merchants their own unique items to sell. Jill is an interesting character but is underused, that whole descent to the first crystal with Cid, and the cutscene that followed, she was barely given a single line. The titan fights are great ideas but not always fun to play, and too reliant on quicktime events which I thought we’d all agreed kinda sucked several years ago so idk why squeenix didn’t get the memo.
But anyway yeah it’s pretty and sometimes fun and I can pet the dog so it still gets a thumbs up from me I guess 乁( •_• )ㄏ
Since some instances were compromised earlier I’ve been able to access the desktop and mobile sites (just had to log in again) but can’t get third party apps to work. Jerboa seems confused whether I’m logged in or not, some pages work and others give a ‘not logged in’ error - I don’t see any option to log out or...
Thanks for the advice everyone. Cleared app data for Jerboa (and uh, found the login button… /facepalm) and that fixed it. Liftoff I had to totally reinstall but now seems to be working fine (・◡・)/

Damn this page took a long time to load what with the influx of new users today, that was a long time sitting with my blood pressure rising before I got to the /s lol
Often when I turn on my PS5 I think of the those endless summer days alternating between going outside in the sweltering heat and playing my PS1 in front of the air conditioner with my older brother. Those were the days!
I always love watching people discovering my favorite games for the first time. My favorite blind playthrough is probably Dan Floyd's "bug knight" series on Playframe, and more recently I've enjoyed watching Adamanth and lil Indigestion. Who do you like watching?
I'm not actually sure, I only bathed them a couple times when they'd gotten particularly stinky, but they mostly just keep themselves clean through grooming. I think you just gotta be careful to avoid harsh soaps and make sure to dry them thoroughly after so they don't get cold.
Highly recommend them as pets! Only reason I never got more after my girls died was because of allergies, but they're a lot of fun to keep. They need to be at least in pairs since they're social animals, and they need large cages and regular free roam time. But aside from that they're pretty low maintenance. Only downside is the short lifespan.
Sorry for the potato quality, I think this was taken about 15 years ago. Since greyhounds can't sit comfortably we had to have dog beds and blankets in every room so he always had a cosy spot to lay in.

Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"?

What would be the problem if Threads federated with Lemmy&co in the future?

The Boost for Lemmy app preview looks promising for RIF refugees (lemmy.world)
Just thought I'd point this out to anyone looking for an RIF alternative that's actually in the same vein as RIF (compact, simple, clean)....
