Yeah, I think this is the real reason its older folks here: We remember the old Internet. The old Internet was interacting and talking to new people. The modern internet is just dodging ads, and making data for companies serving ads.

I only remember that system having a cool looking racing game, and that game where the kid bonks stuff with his giant head.

Those games were super expensive back in the day too!

Even Throughline had a history of policing episode (NPR, so liberals); and even their takeaway from what I remember was: police just come from slave patrols and solely exist to maintain existing power structures.

I think I have a verso book “End of Policing” by vitals, but have gotten around to reading it yet … and maybe I should!

We can just talk about Americas team then. That’ll unify everything, right? 😉

You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.

I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊

This place is feeling a lot like the Reddit from 2008. Just get some rage comics back and this place will be 🔥🔥🔥.

Lemmy takes a bit more curation to start finding communities and has some rough spots, but I’m super excited for this.

What was the reason? I watched the game's promo video and it looks fun, but like ... just also a lot? Like its trying to cram a whole bunch of things into one, and I was almost stressed just watching the video seeing all the things to manage.

Universities are also on a trend to not host their own stuff or run their own servers. Most US universities are either google or Microsoft schools which handle all the email and (often) file sharing services. A lot of this is from a combination of shrinking budgets and security-scares.

I think fediverse and universities could be interesting, and it may just need to take some slow momentum buildup and education of fedoverse services.

Perfektion.

I played Outer Wilds on the deck, and absolutely loved it. It’s a bit open world, and very exploration focused. I thought the controls on the deck were great for the space flying. However, as another review said: this is the best game that you can never play again. The way the story works, there’s not much replay ability, but it is definitely a journey that’s worth it—Just avoid all spoilers or any looking up clues!!!

Submautica may also be a game you like as well, if you’re into the exploration aspect.

Stolen from microwaves 101 I think.

I deal mostly with UHF and backscatter systems. I loved the random discussions on the old subreddit, and hope to see some here too!
