Yes, please!

We need a wider range of vehicle prices on the market. I bet a lot of people would go for barebones models for cheap if they had the option.

That’s a good round number to trigger a crisis that you’re getting old. Better start punching things to prove them all wrong.

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

A lot of young men are lacking role models and community these days.

More kids are growing up without fathers around now (single parenthood is up from 9% in the 1960s to about 25% today).

Most people’s source of community used to be church, but since the advent of the internet, people are rapidly moving away from organized religion. I think this has disproportionately impacted men, who tend to be less social on average.

And I think in general, a lot of young men feel like nobody cares about their personal struggles.

So, even some toxic dude like Andrew Tate can show up and say “Hey, you’re great. Here are the reasons why things are bad for you and what you should do, and here’s a community of like-minded people to interact with.” and these guys are going to dive in head first.

The disrespect!

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.

I played the demo for this game, and it’s a really creative concept. It feels like one of those tile-laying board games crossed with an indie mystery title.

The puzzles go deeper than you’d think too. By the end of the demo, my wife and I were trading off playing and taking down notes, while our 2 y/o was excitedly shouting out doors for us to go through next. It was a good time.

Schools (both K-12 and university) keep loosening their expectations of students, and now we have kids starting college with 6th grade reading levels.

School administrators don’t want their graduation stats to look bad, and universities don’t want to lose $$ by flunking students out, so there’s a massive conflict of interest that is ultimately resulting in a disservice to students and society at large.

The other day, I saw this 8th grade graduation exam from a county in Kentucky in 1912, and it drives home how much things have changed:

Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.

Do you worry about connecting it to the internet?

I installed Linux on a raspberry pi recently (first time using Linux in 15+ years), and in addition to reading stuff on Lemmy, I found that this is a really good use case for chatgpt or similar LLMs.

I was able to get chatgpt to explain stuff to me, ask it to dumb it down further, provide examples, correct my incorrect assumptions, etc.

If they are ready by then, it would be perfect timing to grab a TON of users.

Moonlight is still alive? I used to use it constantly and was really disappointed when support for it discontinued.

Wait till it’s so enshittified it’s unusable

Discord is going public soon, so start the timer…

Whoa, so much to browse through. Thanks!

I’ve been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I’m most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.

Ah, very nice! I’ve heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven’t tried that out yet. I’m glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.
