Eh I dunno, I got bored of it before I finished the story or explored the other half of the map. Feels like a bit of a failing there. 30 hours would be fine if it was a fully contained experience.

Maybe she should buy twitter and ban the guy, or is this the wrong billionaire I am thinking of?
Hogwarts is fun for about 30 hours roleplaying as a wizard, as a casual potter fan. I got really bored of it after that and never finished the game. At its core it really is very generic, it’s really propped up by the IP. That’s not to say it’s bad by any means but its not got the depth of Zelda.
Not for me sadly.
If he was destroying it for the good of humanity he would have to somehow destroy the concept of it rather than a single platform.
Probably best spending 40 billion on education in the harm social media can do lol.
I really do think he’s just delusional. I won’t call him an idiot because there is clearly intelligence and talent in his head, but he’s gone off the rails in some capacity whether it’s mental health issues or power crazed or who knows.
This part is interesting:
As solar becomes increasingly widespread and electricity prices plummet in the middle of the day when the sun is brightest, some see a risk that the incentive to deploy solar power also decreases, said Esparrago.
That makes grid improvements and the rapid rollout of storage technologies like batteries crucial, experts argue. But the EU is still lagging behind in that area.
I wonder however how far we are from that? There is probably a lot of incentivising that can be done to get people and industry to use this ‘surplus’ daytime energy up surely. Its weird because its usually the opposite with cheap night rates - I know many people who intentionally consume energy overnight instead of the day because its cheaper. Flip that on its head maybe that isn’t as pressing an issue?
Yeah honestly I can see why manufacturers are so reluctant to put replaceable batteries in phones. It’s one of the main reasons people upgrade these days.
They have the handy excuse that it’s to make the phone waterproof and they will die on that hill it seems!
Yeah I mean the processing power and general hardware just got to a point where nobody really needs more. In fact my 4 year old phone has the same amount of RAM and similar processor to my new one lol. Unless you’re cutting edge 3D gaming it’s not needed to have anything more.
I upgraded only because of battery life, higher Hz screen, newer android version, and to get a wide angle lens. Now I have those even its like…what next? Camera quality is all I ever need, screen Hz is perfect. I’m not sure what will make me upgrade next time but if I replace battery down the line and use a third party OS then maybe it’ll go even longer!
Yep, in the UK it’s part of the theory test, you have to know how and when to check air and fluid levels in order to get a licence.
Where are you from where those things are not part of a driving test?
Love the idea of a book club. I want to get back to reading more but struggle to motivate myself sometimes so this would be great. Once I start a book I’m hooked though it’s a funny one.
Yeah as I discovered in another comment chain it’s more than reddit had in 2020 even which was ‘only’ 5.5 million daily - the chart unfortunately is rather confusingly labeled and useless and represents total comments and not daily. I can only assume a random bot spike happened or something.
I guess if you’re just looking for a generic reddit-like experience then .world for now seems to do the job just fine. Ultimately it has admins that can choose to de-federate from any other server and they may do that to ones you would rather they didn’t. Every server is going to be somewhat unique on that front with their own set of rules to follow (or not).
It’s really interesting because it always will become somewhat political - with servers that have a tendency for more extreme views whether right or left wing, where do you draw the line before deciding to cut them off? That has already been happening in the short time I joined with servers like Hexbear which I honestly still don’t fully understand the history and complexity of the situation.
My plan so far at least is to keep an eye on the lemmy.world announcements subreddit and if they do anything that I disagree with too much then I can move on elsewhere but I’m quite happy letting others do that level of curation for now at least without keeping too much of a close eye.
You visit that server directly and create a new account and log in with that. There is no way to ‘switch’ although I think people have created ways to migrate your subscriptions etc over to a different server.
Reddit probably thinks it won. They killed all the apps and now they will increasingly force feed monetisation down the necks of the userbase until everyone decides to leave just like they left Facebook.
Which is their goal too probably that’s how IPOs go, and how corporations handle tech companies, buy it milk it and let it die. Nobody cares about long term It’s all about profit this quarter then ditch the shares to the next sucker.
Reddit will go the same way as Facebook. Never die, but it will be like visiting a retirement village.
Can’t tell if you are being serious or pulling my leg with that but I love it haha. I mean it’s a perfect way to distinguish because over here we have no good way to call the spiders other than ‘one of those long leg small body kinda spiders’ which is a terrible name.
Yeah it’s a tricky one isn’t it. There hopefully will become a better solution for helping people onboard to different servers that suit them but without making too big of a hurdle.
I must admit I joined .world without understanding anything and it was prompted to me so yeah the default choice has a big say. I have donated to server costs though, felt like I should do my part at least!
You know I did actually question myself when I wrote that haha, but I went with it anyway.
I mean the definition could still probably apply though perhaps under the logic that the developer has nothing to do with the development of Lemmy. He is just a third party to it. The lack of a first party doesn’t change that Sync is a third party, maybe…
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.
The chart is for ‘all servers’ already supposedly rather than from the perspective of a single instance though so would that be possible? Or can an instance exist sort of privately and then become visible causing a spike?
I noticed in my local supermarket in the UK they started wearing cameras too it’s really weird. I’m really not sure what their goal is - it will never help shoplifting as much as static cameras, and seems a lot of effort to safeguard against abusive customers.
