This is a problem with Lemmy’s defaults. Every single post has to be set as English, instead of allowing the user set a default language.

It’s not the fault of the user. It’s a bug. I just checked and no, I cannot set a default language for my posts. If they want to fix the viewing problem long-term, they need to fix this default posting language problem first.

So, Steam won?

Barely. Give him another ten years to reach Musk or Zuckbot’s level.

I think this is a case of “Perfect is the enemy of good enough”.

You being very generous by calling the characters interesting. The character line-up was the most generic, by-the-numbers GotG ripoff I’ve ever seen.

Well, that is until the Chevron decision got knocked down.

This article just sort of ends without the expected detail the first paragraph was alluding to. I mean, it technically described the thing in the headline, but I would hardly call this an “article”.

Your last sentence makes no sense.

People are sick of far-right agendas polluting the world and their countries, and realize that racism and isolationism isn’t the answer.

You might find this surprising, but elections aren’t won based on foreign policy issues.

Well, I’m certainly glad there a nasal spray that deals with the toxic mice tangles in my nose.

This sounds like a horribly reductive take. Correlation does not mean causation.

Is that the video that uses a deceptive title on a different subject, only to rant about Tommy for the rest of the video for 3 hours?

And have it end up like Starbound? No way.

It’s like that Woodstock concert in the 2000s. You can’t just recapture magic like that by repetition.

Spontaneity is spontaneous.

Oh, you mean something like GPL, which has been responsible for more technological freedom than any other concept in the past 30 years, except maybe the internet? Even the Internet was built on open standards and public RFCs, with billions and billions of Internet-bound Linux devices.

Let’s not treat this like it’s some new problem. The solution is right there. Just pick it up and use it, and thank your local OSS developer for actually maintaining the other software you use.

At what point do we declare that it already fell off the tightrope?

Seriously. I want to play Alan Wake 2, but not if it’s on Epic’s store.

Country size has a huge impact on the ability to make sweeping changes to infrastructure and public opinion. A country the size of one US state can do whatever they want and it’s not going to take 50 years to implement.

South Korea has broadband everywhere? Sure, they are a rich country the size of Indiana and lacing all of that fiber is trivial compared to the entire land mass of the US, or worse, Russia or China. Governmental demands scale much differently the larger the country, and tax doesn’t scale in a 1:1 manner to its land mass.

Their policies on automated updates, garbage QA, and recall history are huge turnoffs. Oh, and attachments to Elon Musk.

Both of these takes are extremely cynical, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Israel’s actions with Gaza and the extremely right-wing PM in charge should not define Israel as a country and the reasons why the US has them as an ally, just like how Trump does not define the US as a country.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting that they shouldn’t be criticized. But, let’s criticize the actions, instead of making up reasons that the US is involved with Israel in the first place.
