It is not transactional. Trying to weigh something good against the realities of everyday life is not helpful for enjoying the good thing. You have to go through all those everyday things anyway. Best enjoy the things that are simply ejoyable.

Love for me. Nothing better in life than having mutual love be it romantic or friendship.

Also stories of all kinds are pretty great.

I think that’d be a pretty dangerous proposition by now. Maybe someone is doing it but is now too afraid to do the switcheroo.

Microsoft is such a horrid company.

EU already has this with the GDPR. Only limitation are retention periods required by law, like employee data needs to be kept for ten years in Germany for example, but for the duration whoever has the data must block it from being processed for anything but the legal requirment, as that becomes the legal basis for processing (storing in this case) and no other uses are allowed until deletion.

Only applies to EU citizens though plenty companies have implemented straightforward ways to delete an account for everyone.

This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it’s not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??

I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.

“Dopamine Nation” is a good book on this whole issue. I really wonder how much the dead internet theory might play a role in eventually breaking this cycle, or just younger generations being contrarian to older generations.

Thank you, appreciate it! Added the link to the body of it, too.

Hey, I don’t quite understand your point. It’s entirely about the process and thoughts around migrating to Linux from the point of view of someone who has never attempted it. It’s about adaptation. If it does not fit the sub, I do apologize for crossposting here and will not do so in the future.

I posted the link in the original post, seems to have gotten lost, sorry. As others have said, it’s a video essay where I talk about the experience of it.

I do apologise if that doesn’t fit this sub. I had to fight a bit through stuff because I game and stream and that was what held me back from attempting it in the first place. Here’s the link :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYW6HEVBCI

If the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.

I don’t post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don’t know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which… ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.

The US and the USSR engaged in a race to have the most nukes. After the fall of the Sowjet Union international treaties were put in place to reduce the number of nukes in both east and west.

Don’t quote me, but if I remember correctly, at the height of the cold war, both sides had more than 12.000 nukes each.

Humanity had enough fire power to delete the entire globe roughly 40x over then. Why? Because bigger is better.

Damn, the Impire truly has it’s tendrils everywhere!

Clearly me. I am a tiny little youtuber and streamer who wants this place to succeed, so I lurk, I post and don’t have a presence on the big platforms.

So if I ever make it big, I can help drive users here. You just wait! It’ll happen any day now!

Recently got into watching older SciFu from the 70s/80s and a chatter on stream suggested “Star Crash” which is very hard to find apparently, had to get it off eBay.

It is basically if some kid watched Star Wars and said “What is this? I can do better than this!” And made it again but 100x worse. It’s really awful but in the good kind of way. Even the editing is terrible, there are cuts that make no sense, etc. But it has David Hasslehoff in it!

Haven’t watched the second one yet, but I am delighted to see what they tried to rip off for that one.

I think I’ll just get it and check it out. If it’s good, it goes up on stream some day. If not so much, maybe YouTube.

Would you recommend it and if so, why?

I have noticed the same and have come to the conclusion that, yes. The subscriber and follower counts are instance specific.
