Pretty much just pat mcafee

The hell with unity. They’ve already shown they can’t be trusted as a platform for the future.

Looks like the patriots have a type

Memmy is good

I don’t understand where they promised space sim. I think people are getting confused with what was promised and what was hoped for.

I’m out of there for good, but I take a look every once in awhile. That place still looks like it’s thriving. It’s unfortunate.

That was legitimate entertainment. GG Lions. Hutch is the real deal.

I guess that gets into separating the art from the artist - which is its own conversation. I don’t care for JK Rowling as a person, but then again I don’t like what a lot of many great artists have done. I had to make that decision for myself whether or not I was ok with consuming art from troubled human beings and to what level (monetarily and influence-wise). Ultimately I just make that decision on a case-by-case basis.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll probably start by digging into Herman Hesse. I have some audible credits that need to be put to use.

By all means, suggest them. I love good stories.

And it’s art. I’m not going to discount a story that made me feel deeply just because the author isn’t as skillful as another.

And is writing (or any art) about topics that are very much present in the real world to be discouraged? Should every piece of art ignore reality and just portray utopia?

If you didn’t enjoy it, fine. That’s art. It’s subjective. But to call it fascist is just…weird.

Well that’s one person’s opinion of it (I assume you share their opinion?). Not sure what makes it fascist or even “ethically mean spirited.”

I thought it was a great story of friendship and love overcoming difficulties in life.

What’s wrong with Harry potters message?

Honestly you can get as crazy as you want with it regarding budget, but I find I’m happy when I just put a lot of patience in my cable management. I have ADHD so it’s pretty difficult, but when I dedicate time to it and take my time with it. I can usually make something really pretty with some zip ties or cable ties.

Get. Away. From. Google.

Poverty doesn’t affect everyone the same. To try to discount the fact that poverty increases crime just because you aren’t a criminal is ignoring the complexity of humanity.

To say that this particular crime was caused by poverty also ignores the complexity of humanity.

We can all speculate until we’re blue in the face, but I agree that lessening poverty will lessen crime of most types.

I don’t know a lot about vserver or borg, but where do your volumes live? On the same machine? Different hard drive?

Well that’s true for any server, and one could argue it is the popular servers that will stay running the longest, but you’re right. Any of them can go down at any time.

The good thing is you can create a new account with another server at any time. I encourage you to do it. Some apps (I use memmy) have multi account support, so I have 3 accounts on different servers that I jumó between depending on what I’m interested in looking at.

The account lives with the server. If you want a new server to be your “home,” you’ll have to make an account with the new server.

What is the reason you want to change servers?

Fragmentation is, in my opinion, kind of the point.

I think we lose sight of the fact that the Fediverse is new, and conveniences and comforts get added by developers after users have a go at it.

Lemmy is very usable right now in its current form, even if fragmentation makes it a little inconvenient here and there. The fact is, for popular communities, there will likely be one big community with kind of satellite communities that are run slightly different or allow more memes, etc.

Once developers find ways to improve cross-posting and multi-instance feed integration, I think fragmentation will mostly be a background, unnoticed, thing.

I think it keeps mods more honest, because they know anyone can jump ship much easier to another established community - even if it’s smaller.

I’m not saying there aren’t downsides, but I do believe the upsides outweigh it, and it will only get better over time.
