Ha, if only that were the truth. I keep preaching over there and telling people to check out /r/RedditAlternatives, at least, so I like to think that I’ve moved at least one person over, which makes it all worthwhile.

Wait, is “cope” some kind of new insult?

Huh? I am aware; I didn’t say “all Linux projects,” did I? Of course I already know that there are already some on Codeberg and elsewhere, but I still wanted to address the behemoth.

It’s not the shipping; it’s the return policy. Amazon’s is almost impossible to beat apart from certain in-person stores like Costco or perhaps ALDI.

Fair, but what about the Copilot-pockmarking? And they’re always one step away from a paywall… Why wait until it gets that bad versus at least duplicating elsewhere now?

I know. I tried it.

I’m not the only one; a friend of mine is big into story and mechanics games but it just didn’t click for him, either. Some of us are just inevitably in the minority.

I don’t get it.

Interesting, thanks for the recommendation; I’d never heard of this before.

Or it can replace it with an entirely different yet just as intense form of mindfulness. Have I introduced you to FTL: Faster Than Light, Factorio, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or Noita? It really depends on the game.

Geez, it sure did mess me up until I finally realized the scope.

No wonder; I’ve never gone that far.

What kinds of video games are you playing? Very few of mine are mindless, and are almost always the other way around.

The groupthink on forums is ridiculous, and you don’t need to be a capitalist nor anticapitalist to recognize that. I, too, hope that we can have healthy discussions of starkly different views.

That’s what makes everything horrible!

There comes an environmental limit, though, and computers themselves may have already been it without us realizing it, but AI use only hastens our demise: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59966675

Huh, so must they all be laptops, or desktops with the owners being able to transport all peripherals to the site of the “party?” Sounds really cool.

FYI, I’ve been on 2.0 since a few weeks after it released and I literally noticed no difference at all. If no one told me about the update, I would have had no idea that it had applied; everything has been running identically to how it was before. I think it’s safe to take up.
