Is assassin’s creed any good? Once a game becomes a franchise with a bajillion releases I just tune it out. Feel the same way about marvel movies. Maybe they’re good, maybe they’re bad, but I’m more annoyed that they’re trying to shove it down my throat, so I tune out.
I have a little respect for him because he refused to give in to Trump’s demands to mess with the certification process on January 6th.
I disagree with him on most everything, but he is a principled person. More than you can say for Trump.
It’ll be the first time in his life he is not the boss. That’ll likely lead to a problem.
Temu is like NAFTA for American “business” people.
You cut out the factory worker first, then cut out the American importer.
Someone ought to put this future serial killer out before he starts his career on humans.
Once I interned in Washington DC.. you start to understand the mindset there. Everyone all over the US blames DC for the dysfunction in our government. However, the opposite is true, you people sent these dysfunctional people to DC, so really it’s your fault.
Same thinking here. Most government bureaucrats are well-educated caring individuals who are really passionate about their subject area. Expecting them to tolerate a toxic workplace because the American people can’t choose competent leaders is unfair.
I’m between a medium and a large. More often then not though, I need the shoulder width and arm length of a large, but the cut in the torso of a medium. Clothing manufacturers assume Americans scale horizontally as they scale vertically. This maybe true given our obesity crisis.
I think the problem is Mastodon makes it hard to find people to follow. I can’t even find mainstream media official accounts, let alone an actual celebrity. The discovery features need to be improved.
Meanwhile on BlueSky I instantly see every major news outlet in my main feed.
Yeah I’m sure senators will respond well to threats — as well as some house members did to threats from Gym Jordan to make him Speaker.
Trump will bully the senators that go against him like he always does
Ukraine needs to ignore the US if it kowtows to Russia. Europe needs to step up and build its military and supply Ukraine with everything it needs, if necessary. Ukraine should also get some nukes.
India is super conservative. A lot of Trump’s biggest supporters are Indian in the US.
Pretty sure the Washington post did a full spread about Mastodon like a year ago. Despite this, I still can’t find any real major media outlets on there. Or maybe they exist, but I feel the thing holding mastodon back is discovery.
A preview of the USA
It’s a low bar. At least it’s not a fox and friends tv host.

The Witches of Bucha, as they call themselves, help protect Ukraine's skies from Russian drones.
Love the current icons, but would also always love to see some more!
It's my first time building a computer. I also haven't really done much PC gaming in the past 15 years, except on my Steam Deck. Actually, it is the Steam Deck that has convinced me to invest in a desktop PC with some more power. I like the Linux experience on Steam Deck and would like to stick with that if possible. I haven't used Windows in 15 years either, as I tend to use Mac OS and a bit of Linux for personal and work. Windows seems to just get worse and worse and I'd like to avoid it if possible.

In any case, I went with an AMD CPU because I've heard about Intel's recent corrosion issues. And, chose an NVidia GPU since I'd like to take advantage of ray tracing. I've heard the driver support can be a bit mixed on Linux, but I'm open to trying to make it work unless folks think it really is terrible. Any feedback is helpful.
I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.
Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.
It's been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?
There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.
Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12
Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16
Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.
Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?
Maine's top election official has ruled Trump cannot run for president next year in the state.

My favorite part is the way my grooming kit and pen fit into my minimalist wallet. Always handy to have a nail clipper, comb, and pen in your back pocket taking up as little space as few credit cards.
Global conflicts have a habit of sneaking up on money-managers
Other kinds of posts in the feed are sensitive to actions to scroll, but videos are not scroll sensitive, so you can end up having difficulty getting past them.
I see lots of communities with hundreds of subscribers, but no posts. What is with that? If you’re going to register a community, at least help it get going. Post some content regularly, until it becomes self-sustaining. It’s disappointing to open a community with hundreds of subscribers and not a single post.
I already get rate-limited like crazy on lemmy and there are only like 60,000 users on my instance. Is each instance really just one server or are there multiple containers running across several hosts? I’m concerned that federation will mean an inconsistent user experience. Some instances many be beefy, others will be under resourced… so the average person might think Lemmy overall is slow or error-prone.
Reddit has millions of users. How the hell is this going to scale? Does anyone have any information about Lemmy’s DB and architecture?
I found this post about Reddit’s DB from 2012. Not sure if Lemmy has a similar approach to ensure speed and reliability as the user base and traffic grows.
