  • I'm in a similar boat. I don't know if you've heard the news, but it looks like some of the old D2 devs are now working on Darkhaven. It's not out yet, but there's hope!

  • What are some free Android games that are really good?

    Jump

  • For a chill puzzle game, I've been enjoying the water sort puzzle from Martin Kunze. I like that version specifically because there's no ads, no monetization, no data collection, no login, no nothing. You just sort colored water until it stops being fun.

  • PC game recommendation for my partner and I

    Jump

  • Valheim and Raft are both fun with two people. Raft's a bit janky but more relaxed. Valheim can be relaxing or as hard as you want to make it (there are world settings you can change and plenty of mods), and although it's technically still in early access there's a ton of content.

  • Blocking USA news [meta?]

    Jump

  • That's the menu you get by clicking the profile icon in the lower right. I'm talking about the one in the upper right:

  • Blocking USA news [meta?]

    Jump

  • You appear to be in the "Lemmy Web Preferences" section, not "Look and Feel." Maybe we're accessing settings from different places somehow: I go to my profile picture in the upper right corner, it pops open a half-menu, and I use the option at the bottom to access my settings.

  • Blocking USA news [meta?]

    Jump

  • I'm on Summit as well and have the option to block keywords.

    Settings > Look and Feel > Post Feed > Filters > Keyword Filters

    Then you can do the same thing under "Post and Comments" (instead of "Post Feed") if you want even more blocking.

  • "Bourbon" Chicken

    Jump

  • Yeah... I replaced it with apple juice. (Sorry, but not really.) I'm told it's good with the bourbon, but I didn't have any and was assured by a relative that you can't taste the difference if you swap the bourbon for apple juice.

    If you try them both, let me know how it goes! I might give it a go one day just for fun, but I'm pleased with it as-is for now.

    "Bourbon" Chicken

  • What job do most people think is good, but you don't think you would enjoy?

    Jump

  • I'd've never thought of this one, but I completely agree. It sounds great in theory and absolutely terrifying in practice.

    Along the same lines, I'd also rule out deep ocean explorer or even cave diver. Anything where calling for help is, at best, a question mark.

  • What job do most people think is good, but you don't think you would enjoy?

    Jump

  • Anyone famous for sure. Actor, musician, athlete, etc. all sound great until you remember that fame is a guaranteed route to no privacy, ever, for basically any reason.

    No thanks, I'll pass.

  • What’s the dumbest thing your fish did?

    Jump

  • Not necessarily dumb, but I had a harlequin rasbora that loved to lay down on anubias leaves. Like, fully horizontal. I can't tell you how many times I thought it was dead and went to remove it, only for it to swim off when I got close with the net.

    It wasn't sick. It didn't have any swim bladder issues. The little jerk just spent years pranking me for seemingly no reason.

    Still one of my favorite fish.

  • What's your comfort movie?

    Jump

  • In no particular order:

    • Sahara
    • Hercules (1997 animated version)
    • Mulan (1998 animated version)
    • 27 Dresses
    • Jurassic Park (although probably not for sleeping given all the screaming, lol)

  • What is a good reusable bottle that isn't a mould farm?

    Jump

  • Same! I've been using the Lifefactory ones for the last few years and just run them through the dishwasher with everything else. No special treatment, and they've held up well.

  • What client do you use for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I swapped from Sync to Summit and have been loving it. The dev's super responsive too, which is a big plus.

  • I usually take a request for a work sample to mean "an example of something you created" rather than "an example of work you did for a past employer." The latter could serve as the former—assuming you're allowed to show it, which it sounds like you're not in this case—but it's not the only way to go about it.

    You could make a sample or mockup of something similar to what you've made previously without including proprietary information. If you need branding guidelines or a set of content to work from to get started (maybe you're building a website or something), you could search online for publicly available versions of those documents from other companies to demonstrate that you're able to follow guidelines when requested.

  • What are your favourite Lists?

    Jump

  • I was sadly not quite imaginative enough to consider radioactive worm eggs, but I do seem to recall Ivan Inkling opening up an ice cream shop at one point and Max E. Mum and his sister Minnie coming in to consider all the different flavor combinations they could buy.

  • What are your favourite Lists?

    Jump

  • I used to be a teacher, and I kept a list of funny names that I would use for word problems and the like. Just silly stuff like Ivan Inkling, Chris P. Bacon, Millie Peade, etc.

  • Why do they need to work, though? If AI can replace so many people that there aren't jobs for them all, wouldn't that also mean AI is producing enough to sustain those people, jobs or not? At that point, why must society continue to expect everyone to support themselves if society's developments as a whole make that unnecessary?

    OP's question seemingly indicated that they felt someone who couldn't earn money was immediately a net negative to society. I don't believe that's true now (stay at home parents are a good, but far from only, example), and I can't see me believing it's any more true in a future where AI can replace large segments of the workforce.

  • Ignoring the odd idea that this hypothetical person is somehow completely unemployable regardless of industry or upskilling, why do you assume that that immediately makes them a negative to society? Is a person's entire value predicated on their ability to earn money?
