I’ve seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It’s kinda nice not having the overall “karma” visible at all times.

Iove technology, so I was shocked at that part that someone would name their computer like that. But the character is 75 years old, so it makes sense.

A great SciFi book series with this is Old Man’s War. I love the brain pal concept in it.

Why won’t it? I think user accounts need federation as well, but switching hosts isn’t hard. Lemmy.ca went down a little while ago due to a power supply breaking. The admin has been great about it, moving away from the provider that took a day to fix the issue. But during the downtime I was able to use an account I has already set up on a different instance.

When reddit is down, it was really down. When a lemmy instance is down you can just use another. Don’t get tied into just one host.

Don’t be talking about socioeconomic stuff either.

Haha, ok I can respect just owning it like that.

That’s great! Thanks for the link. That name though… wouldn’t stop me from buying but I don’t think I could talk about it out loud with anyone.

Good enough for Soldier, good enough for me. The self damage stinks though.

Shit is a horrible key for running anyway. Not sure how it became standard. I use spacebar for run and shit to jump.

Ah shit, I scheduled a dentist appointment for that day.

DuckDuckGo is pretty easy to switch to. You can go to settings and disable AI chat in it.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure there was a religious reason behind it. I’m not religious myself anymore but grew up in a very religious area, specifically Mennonite, but not the old order kind. Gambling was a sin and therefore anything associated with gambling like cards and dice were sinful by extension.

I once had a professor who very seriously apologized to the class for bringing up a certain topic. It was playing cards. We were learning about probability. I was shocked that he thought he had to apologize about something I’ve played with my whole life.

I feel like their platform was “less genocide than Trump”, but still genocide. Which wasn’t very good either obviously.
