Yes, I have made some complaints. Stuff like this, and people like you are one of the main things holding me back from embracing this as a platform. But you said every one of my comments. Did you stop reading after the first one?
And yes, I would like a cookie, do you have one?
Anyways, I dont feel like having a fight with an internet stranger. So, do you like video games?
Ouch, stalked my profile for your response here. And its not even true.
But yea, calling me out for complaining when your whole post is a complaint. Good job. You are definitely part of the reason I dont participate much on lemmy.
I get the sense that it’s really not about people having leftist or non American points of views removed, but that people are sick of the extreme shit they post and their attitudes. And it’s seemingly entire instances dedicated to being that extreme, not just some individual users.
Personally though, since users have the tools now to block instances, I don’t think there’s really as much of a need to defederate unless the instance is specifically doing something more than just posting their views. So I agree with you there. Except that having to go out of your way to block stuff like that makes for an experience that isn’t always great. And for me it’s been something that doesn’t really make me want to participate or use the platform much.
Same here, just for gaming. Have multiple other computers for actual computer needs. Though admittedly, none of them are running Linux as the primary OS yet.
Overall I agree, unless of course that voice of yours has an opinion that the lemmy hive mind has decided is bad (Israel, cars, capitalism, renting/landlords, non Linux operating systems)
Yes, because other people have bath mats…
My guess is that this never actually happened.
I can’t imagine anyone actually going through the trouble of doing this as a project, and I especially can’t imagine a college professor requiring a student to meet with a counselor for failing a project.
I dunno… Have you ever opened a crab up before cooking it? It’s pretty much all goo inside an exoskeleton.
So you hate that PCs are more capable and can display better graphics at higher framerates and have rationalized it to yourself that worse graphics and framerates on a console are “how the developers intended”.
I can understand not wanting to tinker with settings and just load a game up and know what to expect in terms of graphics and framerate, but I just cannot disagree more with what you are saying here. Building games to console limitations and not even giving the option for fidelity or framerate just seems like a step backward.

I think it’s entirely possible that they chose to compare to a 3 year old phone not because they are only targeting those upgrades to people with 3 years old phones, but because it sounds a lot more impressive that way instead of just the smaller incremental improvements over last years model.
It should also be noted that Apple admitted at one point to purposefully slowing down older iPhones too, which very clearly was done to get people to upgrade. If that’s not planned obsolescence I don’t know what is.
You talk about them as if they are some benevolent entity, when that’s just very much not the case.
