Based on the post, I was expected the website to look far worse.

1. I agree the onboarding isn’t great and could use an overhaul.
2. Had to specifically look search for the mascot (didn’t see it on the website) and yeah, that’s rough (starting from scratch may not be a bad idea). Flaxy O’Hare
3. The screenshot also showed a pretty basic UX that could look far better.

I guess in conclusion, I think all your points are valid.

Edit: numbered items and added missing link.

Yeah, looks interesting, but what is the arc of his life (OP’s question)?

Looks like a guy who wanted to go fast and then did…

What’s the arc? I read the wiki article and can’t figure it out.

Haha.

I’m aware of how very low the bar is (look up what 2 buttons to press).

I appreciate you trying to help me though. I really like that about Lemmy/Fediverse :)

Absolutely. Based on fedidb, looks like lemm.ee is about 15% of mau.

I was looking into switching this morning after hearing about the shut down. Seems interstellar is the only app that works for it right now.

I’m on the fence. I know it’s a low bar but I don’t want to make a new account, learn a new app, and figure how to transfer my subscriptions and blocks. Might just wait until Lemmy 1.0 comes out and see if Voyager with support it and my instance will switch.

I’m pretty sure the developer previously stated they will look into piefed after Lemmy becomes 1.0. Don’t know if that has changed or will change due to lemm.ee shutdown.

I believe this is disproven by the last movie (Dark Fate) and a boot strap theory using Salvation’s Marcus (apparently their is a boot strap theory with Sarah Conner too).

Funny thought though :)

That was great. Thank you for writing and sharing that :)

That’s unfortunate.

Do you know when that is supposed to happen (currently works for me)?

Have you tried Spotube?

Not sure what Revanced changes/add/subtracts, but Spotify is basically Spotify without ads and you can pick different sources (ex. YouTube) for the music.

I’m on android and not having any zooming issues.

Edit: My phone is a Galaxy A15 running Android 14.

I getcha. It can be a tough line to walk.

I appreciate bringing the game to my attention though :)

Steam link for anyone interested:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2441270/Kill_The_Crows/

It’s $4.99 and they have a demo.

!atbge@lemmy.world (awful taste but great execution) may be of interest to you.

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing :)

I appreciated reading your comment. Thanks for making it :)

That’s unfortunate. Flaky fails are the worst.

Maybe a timeout issue. I feel like I’ve seen images partly load (slowly) and then just switch to “failed to load” before they finish.

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to look into it :)

I don’t have any written suggestions, but you might want to look into philosophy material. I like the “Philosophize This” podcast (30 minute episodes).

He starts out chronically, but somewhere between episodes 100-150, he moves to topic or school of thought. It’s quite rough in the beginning and I think he states that new listeners should just skip to episode 120 or something (on episode 219 now).

I think it’s good that you are willing to join up if the Russians invade.

However, I don’t think “I yearn to kill people” is a good mentality to have. What happens if a war doesn’t come and you don’t have the option of killing “Russians”. What “lesser” people is that desire going to be transferred to?

I’m not saying Russia isn’t a threat or that Russian culture isn’t problematic (you can check my comment history to see I am very pro-Ukrainian). I just don’t think the desire to kill should be your motivator.

I would suggest you try and move more towards something more positive like wanting to protect others, which may happen to have you kill russians in some circumstances.

Regardless of anything above, I hope you are able to stay healthy and Russia never invades another country.

I appreciate your response, lots of interesting thoughts.

One thing I wanted to add is it’s important to realize the bias in how you measure maturity/sentience/intelligence. For example, if you measure intelligence by how well a person/species climbs a tree, a fish is dumb as a rock.

Overall, these are tough questions, that I don’t think have answers so much as maybe guidelines for making those designations. I would suggest probably erring on the side of empathy when/if anyone ever has to make these decisions.
