Kbin’s algorithm is much better. I’ve been spending most of my time on that, and I still get all the Lemmy content since it federates with Lemmy.

Did they nuke the comments? I don’t see any replies.

Also, while it’s easy to reduce humanity down to numbers at the scale of a war, to the people finally getting to rejoin their country today – this is the victory that matters. The one they will remember most clearly after the war is over. To us on the outside it might seem small, but to those people it’s their entire world.

I guarantee you it means something to the residents of those six houses.

It’s easy to lose track of individual humanity at the scale of a war, but this victory is the one these people will always most remember when they think of the tide turning. Their lives are worth something.

Your head is so far up your own propaganda I can’t even tell what you’re trying to say here.

I honestly had a blast learning Rust. Haven’t gotten a chance to do much with the language but it definitely shifted the way I think about coding in general.

Is there any way to migrate an account? I signed up to lemmy.ml since it was the first one in the list and I didn’t really understand the model initially.

… Reddit has followers? I’ve been on that site for 11 years and legitimately had no idea.

The mechanics overhaul looks like it’s going to be a free update for the base game, with the new story content and possibly the new ‘relic’ skill tree being the paid DLC.

They’ve said for sure that the base game is getting a significant update, but I don’t think they’ve released an itemized list of what is going where yet. IMO I think it’s safe to assume that the features REPLACING existing features like the new skill trees, cyberware system, etc. will all be free.

But stuff like vehicle combat might go either direction.

This has strong KenM energy

That’s pretty common. Database reads are much lighter operations than writes, and you can cache responses to heavily alleviate the strain of those requests.

There’s no real way to get around database writes though. Each one of those has to go through the DB eventually. You can do things to mitigate it like putting the messages in a queue to be bul-inserted in batches, but it’s much harder to optimize write performance than it is to optimize reads.

Alright I’m going to go out on a limb and say that /r/WatchPeopleDie shouldn’t be lumped in with that other human trash.

Every month or so I would get morbidly curious and scroll that sub for ten or fifteen minutes. Firstly, the comments and posts never seemed… I don’t know I have the right word… sociopathic? gleeful? cruel?

The tone of the whole sub was much more somber. I always came away from that sub with a stark reminder that we are so so fragile, and our future can get snuffed out by the universe – sheer random chance – at any moment.

It made me want to live more in the present. Don’t take tomorrow for granted, and I saw a lot of the sort of thing in the comments.

A lot of the videos were just random shit, like pedestrians getting struck by a rogue tire flung from a car crash 500 feet away. Just totally senseless and sad… it put what’s important in perspective.

To me the trick isn’t consuming similar communities, but cross pollinating to them. Like if you want to comment on a new game trailer do you copy and paste the same thing into ten threads?

Just a nit: Given the context of the rest of your post, I think you mean “glass half empty”.

“I see the glass half full” means optimistic, while “I see the glass glad empty” means pessimistic. The idiom is about what a person chooses to focus on in a less-than-ideal situation: what’s missing, or what’s still there?

(Not saying you don’t know that, just explaining for anyone who isn’t familiar with the idiom)

God I hope so. No knock against the developers, because it’s a young app and they are improving it almost every day, but Jerboa is really hard to use coming from Relay.

u/DBrady just has excellent UX/UI design sense.
