Fantastic! I'm reducing my dependency on for profit entities every day, and federation is a great means to that end. Let's welcome those moving over during the exodus!

Man o man, I love me some zomboid. Almost everyday, when I leave for work, about 5 minutes into my journey I get the zomboid heebie-jeebies :-).

Lemmy share the beginnings of our old Cookhouse:

And I only fell 3 times while making the roof!

The always sunny explanation is better then most. Art is in the eye of the beholder. I think almost everything can be/is art, if you tried to create beauty or evoke emotion with design, it is art. No one can really call themselves an artist without sounding... Almost pompous? We are all artists.

Oof, that sounds like it'll be an intense climb back in to reality!

It's great, I drive a low compact and because all the boomers around me drive a small tractor/SUV, whenever dusk starts I can look at all the pretty hard white suns behind me instead of traffic. If a big cargo truck can have good unobtrusive lighting, your fucking boomer mobile should also be able to have it, so it's basically a choice made in the factory: yeah this will fucking blind everyone on the road, but think of how COOL it will look guys!!

It's because this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabhakar_Raghavan thinks that keeping people engaged on google search longer is what it is all about. Not finding what you search for, no, engagement with your search tool.

"He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 — a tumultuous period that cemented its terminal decline, and effectively saw the company bow out of the search market altogether. His responsibilities? Research and development for Yahoo's search and ads products.

When Raghavan joined the company, Yahoo held a 30.4 percent market share — not far from Google’s 36.9%, and miles ahead of the 15.7% of MSN Search. By May 2012, Yahoo was down to just 13.4 percent and had shrunk for the previous nine consecutive months, and was being beaten even by the newly-released Bing. That same year, Yahoo had the largest layoffs in its corporate history, shedding nearly 2,000 employees — or 14% of its overall workforce. " - https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Getting familiar with mute or mute all options is the way to go. There's always gonna be dirt throwing in matchmaking, so you have to adapt it to your liking. For me that means that if the first thing someone says in team chat or voice is a complaint or flame, they are not really worth my time or attention. They could have said hello, asked for help, but no they went straight for a basic emotional response. No thx. That has helped a lot for me in MM.

Too bad I have no idea how deadlock works so far , gonna be a lot of muting! 😅

Most of desktop users don't care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.

I care! But I'm a power user. Most aren't.

Welcome! I have noticed the last week or two that there has been a real influx of activity, and it's now basically the same experience for larger subreddits/lemmy communities. All we need is some niche community and better cross/instance community combining and we're golden. Enjoy!

The duplicate community across instances could really use a solution, maybe like a multimunity?
