Tankies suck, and Conservatives suck imho. They may share shitty views, which is complete nonsense, but I'm finding it a wee bit weird that a Conservative, who I'd assume is all for freedom of speech is trying to shut down speech. I've been here for days now, and I've not seen anything from Lemmygrad. I know it's there, and I don't want to dip my toe in and it's not being thrown down my throat. It's pretty obvious what it is from the name. If I want some weird alt right nonsense, I'd check out truth social or telegram. You know what you're getting.

"Let's get away from the reddit top down control, and implement top down control here". Hmmm...

I appreciate the work you're doing to aid in accessibility. I'm not sure using "unkempt hair" is quite right. I would have thought this is natural afro hair. I don't think the hair description adds to the transcription so is probably better to remove.

Although my main one is gmail, I have been using proton mail for a while and I'm getting to point where I trust it for most stuff and I will start to move non-critical stuff away from gmail.

That is a fair point and something I was thinking about. The heading definitely threw me off that path "average lemmy posts per day". With that. it would be around 1/30th, but considering activity was low at the start of the month and higher by the end, it would be hard to get accurate numbers for that. The average went up 30k in 1 day to yesterday. 30k a day, is 900k total. Which makes this all the more confusing... :)

Another thought I had was some of the Active posts here get around 1.5k to 2k upvotes. Often on reddit, that is around 20-30k. So Lemmy could be around a 10th of that size.

Potentially in terms of activity, there is the passive consumption side of reddit (which is massive), and the active contributor side. Even if Lemmy is doing well in terms of the active contributor side, that is very useful to draw in the passive consumers. Potentially many want something known and trusted and maybe are less tech savvy. They may follow good content.

Those slides look like they're written by someone who doesn't understand Linux. Though Boeing and safety don't seem to go hand in hand nowadays if that documentary about their safety standards and engineering is to believed. Blaming foreign pilots that got killed because of engineering changes that pilots weren't fully trained on was low. Especially given how many airlines actually insisted on training for these systems but seemed to be fobbed off.

I'd rather fly Airbus.

I think there is a FOSS projects based on Settlers 2 called Widelands. If you like that, it might be worth checking out.

I was going to come in all wholesome and be like "That's not stupid!", and instead, I come in, look, and "Oh... erm, thanks for sharing"

Very cool. Was it difficult to make, or did you find it pretty Eevee?

Not at all. Shooting things with guns repeatedly is somewhat boring to me.

We don't have air conditioning here except in offices and cars...

Yes, and since then there has not been one FPS that has interested me, so why would I know the intricate details of them?
