You know that thing on video games that stuff is only rendered when the player is looking at it? A simulated universe could probably save a lot of energy by implementing something like that, like particles behaving like waves until observed.

A simulated universe would probably have some hard caps introduced to reduce computational needs, like some minimum temperature things can reach or max velocity.

For YouTube? Not for me, and if some instance is down I just click “Remove + Autopick” on the addon and it redirects to other instance… if all instances are down, I can choose other 12 frontends to use from the addon menu (but I never did, I have only used Invidious so far)

I’m using https://libredirect.github.io/ so whenever I click a YouTube link it opens it on some Invidious instance

if you set up a pi-hole you aren’t sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though… unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows…

I get your point, and I was actually kinda playing devil’s advocate here, I really thought I’d be the one getting downvoted lol

You mean a record of collective experience painting a bigger picture about a subject may be more valued than a single anecdotal account?
Ask a white middle class boomer how was growing up in the American 50s and he might say it was a great time based on his experience… a black person might give a different perspective…

I believe more often than not a quick Google search may provide more information than someone you are talking to. I’d take a Google search over 99% of what any of my relatives have to say about any subject :P

oh no, typo on the image :(

I was too distracted planning what to do next…

Here we say that when the mango is good it runs down your elbows.

edit: I made a visual representation:

That’s quite surprising given by how touchy they are about everything (that ml user comment even says “stupid” is ableism), I thought they would be welcomed all around the fediverse.

I kept reading and found someone else pointing a lot of those filters are off by default (like decreasing reputation if you reply with a gif, what was even the idea here lol). I’m also not a native speaker, and if I’m talking about a serious subject and write a long text I usually use a chatbot to grammar check me and sometimes that crap changes my hyphens for em dashes and I don’t notice - at least it seems like you only get flagged for posting an em dash instead of losing score. I’m still not sure what to think about the reputation score though…
Lastly, even though I have blocked hexbear and lemmygrad, I find it lame that’d they’d ban it by default :P

Even though I’m on lemmy, I was very interested in Piefed and even upvoted this post thinking it’s very cool, but then through this post I’ve read this comment and this is lame af https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/62580326/24059434

As Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Switchblade Sisters, Sex & Fury, gosh, I love those cheap exploitation movies.

Charlie’s Angels is just a PG version of The Doll Squad, which is a real Tarantino influence.

Hi, I’m creating a site for my pets and I just finished his page, so if you are interested check it out: https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/pets/saibot (there are only two profiles ready so far, so not much to see yet :P)

Thanks everyone for the replies. I see there is a lot of features that I have no use for so I never explored (controller stuff, cloudsave, social features, achievements, etc)… I guess auto updates are cool though, but I only play old games anyway :P

Uh, building it turned out way harder than I thought (especially making an interactive map on the main page), but Dali profile is almost done https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/pets/dali

Well, this acc here, and several others I use, were created on free Proton email without giving them any contact information.

This is only true if you’re selling Steam product keys,

While Steam does claim that, there were two previous lawsuits in the USA saying otherwise, and I couldn’t find any other info online, nor how they ended up… and they also have that thing that if you are going to make a sales promotion on another platform you have to warn Steam so they can do it first… if in fact you can’t sell cheaper on a platform that charges you less, that’s top assholeness.

Don’t worry, I understand you.
