Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.

I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I'm not a socialist.

What's the combat like? I feel like that's not a spoiler. In just curious if it's similar to FF7R or what?

Wow. Memory freaking unlocked. I had forgotten that these existed for probably 25 years until I saw this very post. Now it's all coming back to me! I had the Jurassic Park one and never could figure out how to play it right as a kid, but still had fun.

Start posting magnet links to Nintendo Switch ROMs on r/piracy, and write "endorsed by Reddit, Inc" with a screenshot of the messages from Reddit encouraging the reopening.

I don't think people actually would, if push came to shove. They're just expressing nostalgia for a simpler time, which is pretty easy to understand, given all the dystopian effects of social media and smartphones.

I think smartphones have done a lot of harm, but they've still done far more good, which is why we use them. Especially in poorer countries where smartphones are often people's only access to the internet.

That said, there's nothing stopping any of these people in the article from being the change they want to see in the world. Not to send anybody to Reddit, but r/dumbphones is a fast growing subreddit for people that want to try that. A lot of the users are Gen Z who never got to try them and want to give it a whirl.

I like lemmy.world because it seems to be neutral and doesn't have heavy handed moderators. Communities are allowed to bloom and grow. It's scalable.

I respect what Beehaw wants to do, but their goals are not realistic if they want to be a platform of any significant size.

So far I also like the communities I've seen on Lemmy.ml, but there have been a lot of technical/server issues.

Saudi Arabia is an untrustworthy partner. I'm honestly surprised they even want a US security pact. They've been trying to decouple from the US more and more in recent years.

I know about Bombardier but didn't know there were others!

He comes across like an entitled child who has made up his mind and is too stubborn to admit when he's wrong. Add onto that the fact that he bullies people with his lies and manipulation. Very much not an adult, let alone a CEO.

I think the "metaverse" is already dead. Zuckerberg tried to make it happen and it didn't, and Meta doesn't have the money to keep pumping into it. I think Meta will still produce the Quest headsets as a cheap alternative to the new Apple ones, but the idea of just hanging out in the metaverse is simply not going to happen.

I don't know whether the Fediverse will "happen" for the vast majority of people who aren't very tech savvy, but I'm enjoying it and it's replaced Reddit for me.

If anything is going to be the next big thing in tech though, it's AI. The fact that my 65+ year old parents know what ChatGPT is, and have used it, is unreal to me.

How was the streaming performance for the classics?

I've never streamed a game before.
