I feel you, man. Like, I appreciate what Linux is for, but the Linux content here is extremely blind to the average user’s use-case. It makes it hard to take suggestions and input seriously.

More likely it’s just an older game now with less popularity, and they expect their viewers to be the younger-ish crowd.

I agree with your premise, but we’re in a really fucked civilization right now where there’s a class of “elite” people who can make decisions that negatively affect the literal lives of millions without worry. We’re not in a fair or stable civilization right now, which is why so many people are on team “nah I hope this guy gets away with it”.

Arguably that falls under both 2 and 3, but yeah entirely unique challenges or play modes is another reason to watch.

I remember doing similar. I would intentionally kill my browser/computer without gracefully shutting down the browser. Literally everything else I would go and shut down normally, browser needed to be crashed.

Makes enough sense, as goofy as it sounds.

1. No Money. - Videos let me watch games that aren’t worth buying to me along with letting me parse games that look fun enough to buy.
2. No Time. - Videos can be put on during other chores or tasks, left on as background noise during times where I would absolutely not have enough time to actually play a game.
3. Skill Issue. - No matter how good I want to be, I’m ultimately just kinda ok at games. Watching higher level players can be a way for me to learn tips and tricks to improve, or they can be a way for me to experience difficulty levels of the game I will never realistically achieve on my own.

Sounds like burnout/depression/ADHD over addiction.

I know that’s what they try to teach you in math in school, but absolutely nobody does it that way in practice, making it just wrong to teach it.

He doesn’t need to name a successor. His followers just need to be convinced that he named one.

Yes! I’m so sad they’ve moved away from this. I could pull out my phone AND unlock it in the same grab.

Rust is one of those things that every time I look into it, I don’t really follow what makes it so good. What’s a good starter project to learn the language and get a sense of what makes it worthwhile over the established stuff?

Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant “Steven” for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.

As cool as that is, it does end up looking confusing. Maybe some quick visual indication (possibly customized by each user) to show source of comment could help.

Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.

Oof. Sad to learn. I know to some extent people are a product of their time, but this seems like a trite worse than “he was born almost 100 years ago!”

I usually clarify that it’s been a very long time and I want it all gone.

Are you wearing shoes without socks?

The asklemmy ones are the annoying ones. It’s less a question and more a conversation starter

I’ve also assumed the same. There’s no way it’s a rare enough edge case not to be impactful

Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.

However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.
