    Lemmy – lacking tolerance and acceptance?

    Jump

  • I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world

    You've said it yourself. It's not unique to Lemmy. This is just a smaller platform with therefore more biases. You could keep trying and show new visitors with your viewpoints that they have a space here. E.g. Lemmy is slowly becoming less try-hard anarchistic. But honestly with your viewpoints, whether it's about AI or strict immigration, I consider it too difficult and unrealistic currently.

  • Even better, if after their domestication they were still smart and resistant enough to not fall into the hands of owners that treat them like toys.

  • Thanks for asking...

    Jump

  • Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they've already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?

  • What is your cinema hot take?

    Jump

  • What is considered film expertise today is a joke. This applies to all mediums, but especially in cinema you see it all the time that a person who has watched popular, top-rated Hollywood movies is considered very knowledgeable. Yeah, it doesn't matter, especially in a private group, but it's a cringing pain in the ass to listen to these people talk about movies.

    Dungeons & Diagnoses — a fantasy therapy sim where your patients are cursed heroes, dark lords, and burned-out adventurers

    Jump

  • By the way, if your game descriptions, dev-logs and especially the game itself uses AI text generation, I'd also add that information.

    Personally I don't mind it for these conversations, if the reason is a language barrier. But if you are capable of basic English, I'd recommend to try writing everything by yourself and only use AI or simply a dictionary for specific words/expressions. Not only do you learn more this way, but you are also more in control of expressing yourself.

  • Thanks for adding that note to the description! Just for clarity: If somewhere in the future you are able to work with an artist, would you re-work the art for this game? And can we expect a Linux release?

    Other than that, I had the wish for this kind of game for some time and I'm glad something like that exists now. Given the circumstances, I still don't see myself in the target audience, but good luck on your journey!

  • What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?

    Jump

  • One of the most interesting aspects about the Fediverse is also the most confusing one in practice: the communication across different platforms. E.g. the ability to communicate from Lemmy to Mastadon is incredible. However whenever that happens, it's difficult to even realize that it's happening. It could an extremely useful feature, but currently, at least on Lemmy, it's just confusing.

    In Lemmy itself I'm annoyed by (too) many things, but mostly they are related to our behavior and stubbornness. Nonetheless, with all its faults overall Lemmy is still my "favorite" social media.

  • Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity

    Jump

  • Some people probably think that Ladar Levison suspended Lavabit, because he accidentally pressed the self-destruction button.

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • Ugh...not gonna watch it anyway, but I hate it in general when a content creator with the stereotypical Linux user characteristics (nerdy, tech-savvy), but without the more important requirements (patient, willing to learn, adaptable) produces this kind of content.

  • Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?

    Jump

  • I didn't want to do that at my first attempt for some reason (probably because it felt wrong/unauthentic to play Skyrim without first-person...). But after reading this, I tried it. It's certainly a weird 3rd person perspective, yet I had so much more fun. So many many thanks for your suggestion!

  • WhatsApp spells out that EU regulations works

    Jump

  • Unfortuantely I only found this German heise news from Feb 2024. But both Signal and Threema won't lower their security and privacy standards to be interoperable with WhatsApp.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • I've spotted a devil fruit user.

  • why hard exit editor? Nano say at bottom.

  • But I wouldn't be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.

    How people rate the morality and ethics of their fellow citizens

    Jump

  • I thought that not giving them a neutral option made this meaningless, but...

    For data outside the United States, this analysis draws on nationally representative surveys of 28,333 adults conducted from Jan. 8 to April 26, 2025. All surveys were conducted over the phone with adults in Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Surveys were conducted face-to-face in Argentina, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa and Turkey. In Australia, we used a mixed-mode probability-based online panel. In the U.S., we surveyed 3,605 adults from March 24 to 30, 2025. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP). This report also includes some findings from a separate ATP survey of 8,937 U.S. adults conducted from May 5 to 11, 2025.

    ...I think it was already meaningless from the very beginning.

  • Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?

    Jump

  • Great question and I think it is.

    Regarding tools, there is for example the ClamAV toolkit, which is easy to setup for the average Linux user, but probably not for the most vulnerable users that need these tools the most.

    But in general the biggest problem might be how we treat the biggest vulnerability - the user. With more freedom and control in Linux, we also have more responsibility. And I'd argue that welcoming new users with bad practices is getting overly normalized, e.g. executing commands/scripts that you don't understand or depending too much on something like the Arch-user repository.

  • What is tool / technology has come closest to becoming your "Digital Aristotle" ?

    Jump

  • If I had to choose, I'd pick the computer as a whole. But learning on your own pace and at whatever depth you wish to is already possible. It's the variety of different tools and learning sources that make it possible. A single "digital aristotle" would miss the whole point. The only "benefit" would be to have it all in one place and some people try to make that problem bigger than it actually is. If anything, the dependency on a single tool would create a problem to use others.

  • Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?

    Jump

  • I think the closest to a disappointment is Skyrim, but it's not the game's fault. I was always looking forward to it. I love the non-linear role-play experience in a rich open world. I watched plenty of Let's Plays. For some reason it took me a long time to get to it. But when I finally got to play it, I realized that the first-person 3D movement in this game made me dizzy and unwell to the point I couldn't continue. I had this problem with some other games, too, but not to this extent. I might give it another try at some point. But maybe something like World of Anterra scratches that itch better.

    An honorable mention is Planescape: Torment. I liked it, but having played Disco Elysium first, the writing and story in this game felt over-hyped.

  • Germany is aging and shrinking much faster than expected

    Jump

  • "than expected" - what? Not sure what kind of magic DW is attempting here, but the gravity of this problem of an already over-aging population has been known for a long time, taught in schools and already factored into political decisions - just not successfully.

  • Steam hardware survey for February 2026. What happened? Why did it lose such a big percentage?

    Jump

  • From what I've seen, casual users didn't have problems with the casual tasks in the terminal, but with some hot mess behavior of CachyOS, e.g. how the Python update was handled.
