So many of the people who are most invested in federation are a contradiction in terms; centralized social media is evil and it’s fucked up that it’s the norm, but also anyone who isn’t a cynical, crotchety Gen Xer with a tech degree doesn’t belong on federated social media.

Yes, but that’s keeping in mind that, contrary to popular belief among the types that go on Lemmy, most people aren’t ideological. They don’t care that Democrat A is this and Democrat B is that, they care about who they think will help their lives, ideology be damned. So, a lot of the people that socialists would call “libs” would vote for Bernie, BUT, most of those people think of Sanders primarily as “more liberal.”

People who are actively aware of the difference between neoliberalism and social democracy, I’m not sure. But I honestly think they’re a rounding error in US politics.

More likely, daisugi/copsing just doesn’t yield enough to meet demand.

US power comes from alliances with a bunch of other pretty damn powerful countries. If it does too much to strain Canadian, EU, UK, Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese relationships, US power goes away.

Failure to continue to aid Ukraine weakens the value of US allyship to UK, EU, and Taiwan.

This but unironically.

Fuck appeals to nature.

Canada (from US.) I like where I live, I just don’t like the government.

Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.

If the Communists are willing to do what they say we need to do. This is a big “if” that I don’t see any evidence for.

If they used Mastodon or Lemmy, those people would be less tense.

If they had more normies on it, maybe. But Lemmy seems to be composed primarily of the tensest people in the world to me.

TikTok I’d wait for evidence, but Elon absolutely boosted people like Tate

I ultimately believe “everything is political” is true in the sense that everything interfaces with and influences the political system…but some people just use it to devalue any discussion that does not mention governorship, and any stories that are not propaganda.

PSVR2 died because it’s not backwards compatible with PSVR1.

Half Life Alyx is like if we got Super Mario 64, and then four years later the games influenced by it just didn’t come.

As an amateur who used it for a year before switching to FL Studio, I could only recommend it as a way to explore DAW-based music creation for free before switching to something paid and better.

It’s just not feature complete enough, missing basic features like VST3 support (or VST support at all in the Mac version,) time signature changes, sample manipulation capabilities, or in-DAW recording, and it’s built-in effects plugins are overly hard to use. I’ve also seen claims it’s rendering engine is flawed and causes a minor distortion effect, but I can’t verify that myself.

I just think it’s a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy’s creation and growth aren’t exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.

The thing is, we know Nintendo does have in-house developed emulators that they used for Virtual Console and then NSO and the Classic Edition.

It’s fairly likely they didn’t take the effort to port those to PC for the museum, but still.

All stereotypes are bad, but as a mixed black person, I’m frankly more worried about the “black people are violent” stereotype.

It’s not the only one (there’s also Crwth and Pwn)

My city’s most recent mayoral election is arguably a better argument for FPTP sucking than US presidential elections. The progressives were split between two candidates so we got the moderate, who’s pro-car in a city where people move for walkability and is painfully clearly trying to get an inroads to national politics.

It’s better than the nearby, bigger city though. SHEESH.
