  • "Why AI Images Suck" (Art by Flu Hartberg)

    Jump

  • I agree with this comic whole-heartedly but I find it delightfully ironic that one of the complaints is AI generated images look “ugly and nonhuman” while the comic is stylistically in the same vein as garbage pail kids

  • Valve is a private company owned by someone who is passionate about games and so unlike other companies with investors, they leave short term money on the table to make the best product for gamers. If its ownership model ever changes it will speedrun enshittification for the same reason other storefronts suck

  • What exactly is the value that steam provides with its 30% cut that Apple doesn’t provide? Not defending Apple by the way.

    Openness of the hardware is a valid point but that isn’t exactly a feature of steam (nor a distinction between the other platforms in OPs comment)

  • I get why people like steam. But as a steam hater, if GabeN ever dies and the kids or whoever is heirs are decide to sell to VCs or private equity. That 30% will be just as oppressive as anyone else’s.

  • US Mobile is the best deal I’ve been able to find with their yearly unlimited plans. I pay once around Black Friday for what I paid for 2 months of service on Verizon

  • The new moto is “keep giving me money stupid”

    How wasting billions on AI accomplishes that goal, I don’t know but I’m sticking with FOSS apps and platforms just to be safe

  • The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky

    Jump

  • It’s still worth it to red-pill people of the harms these algorithms cause and accept smaller network sizes that exclude people who refuse to “quit smoking” so to speak.

  • How do I get rid of this Gemini crap?

  • I haven’t bought a TV in over a decade. I’ve thought about upgrading but I won’t upgrade to a TV that requires an internet connection to activate

  • How do I get rid of this Gemini crap?

    Jump

  • I think his question was why bother keeping the jellyfin server disconnected when there is no way for the jellyfin server to forward packets for the smart TV.

    For the record there are other valid reasons for keeping jellyfin offline, just trying to elaborate on the op question

  • [PSA] If things start feeling too toxic around here, remember that the 'block' button is your friend and always there for you.

    Jump

  • Anyone can defederate from .ml but they have a lot of users being the dev run site, so many don’t. Or at least that’s the reason lemmy.world has given in the past about why they have don’t federate with hexbear and lemmygrad but still do with ml

  • Lemmy.ml Lemmygrad Hexbear

    Basically the 3 far left instances that will enforce the discourse to be Marxist and anti-west.

    Most instances are defederated from the latter two but not the first because that instance is run by the main Lemmy devs (who are communists)

  • BlogOnLemmy - I made my Blog using Lemmy's API

    Jump

  • A lot of static site blog generators use markdown to create posts. Lemmy also uses markdown for its’ post formatting. From my understanding what OP has done is that he made this post on Lenmy and has created a front end that basically retrieves the given post from Lemmy and displays it with a more traditional blog style CSS as well as a few other pages that aren’t hosted on Lemmy.

  • What will it take to grow open source Lemmy, ActivityPub, ATProtocol, & other platforms/apps/websites?

  • The principles of operation of the fediverse are actually very aligned with the “small government, personal freedom, free speech” ethos that conservatives in the US claim to have.

    The culture on most fedi spaces is hostile towards anything less than luxury gay space communism politically but it’s pretty easy to ignore because the power structure of the fediverse is ideal and makes it so you filter out the very worst of the tankies if you so choose.

    Now if you are a fascist who is only concerned about dominating others opinions and rights, and only care about freeze peach and not freedom of association and expression I can see how you might find the fediverse objectionable.

    The fedi needs more voices from all sides, it does not need fascists.

  • I did not like Pokémon Emerald.

    Jump

  • If you aren’t having fun there is no shame in that. I feel the same way about Sun and Moon.

    I am sure that there is a lot those games do right, like the island challenge instead of gyms and a different kind of elite 4 and other things but the early game is so boring that I don’t care to get that far.

  • I did not like Pokémon Emerald.

    Jump

  • I hate to tell you that you gave up too early but most of the good things about emerald happen after the 5th gym when you get surf (the expanded story from ruby and sapphire, the battle frontier, improved gym leader teams and rematches, etc)

    Gen 3 has so many trainers so you shouldn’t be underleveled with probably the only exception being the 5th gym. The only trainers between the 4th gym and the 5th are 5 or so in the desert and the gym trainers. The gym leader also uses 3 fully evolved pokemon. If you don’t have a strong super effective move (which is likely) then that fight will be a challenge.

    The rest of the game I don’t think is that hard, the 7th gym is probably the next difficulty spike but I won’t tell you.

    Some pokemon are also just not good and so you probably shouldn’t bother using them. It’s not like in later games where even if a pokemon is weak you can use the power of friendship and drugs to power boost it until it can fight anyway.

  • The national guard is mobilized to address state emergencies and support the military abroad. Any state’s national guard is woefully inadequate to defend against foreign threats

  • What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy?

    Jump

  • For people that care about that sort of thing, that’s great. I just need the ability to subscribe to communities and comment on posts and Lemmy has been great for that while using voyager
