how physics works doesn’t necessarily dis prove the existence of a supreme being that designed the laws of physics

This is how Darwin felt about evolution. It was the answer to “how?”, not “why?”.

Blame the raking of the leaves. No leaves in fall means no place for the eggs to be laid and no place for the larvae to grow. It’s another casualty to grass lawns. A “clean” nature is a place where nothing has room to thrive.

All these people “rediscovering” old tech like we didn’t abandon it for a reason. No, I don’t want to build a PC out of old Commodore 64s that barely works and needs to be coded in assembly when I can literally get a mini PC that’s 100x more powerful for $120.

“Hey bro! Here’s some 20 year old program! We should totally reinvent it today! It’s not like anyone has been working on this exact thing for the last 20 years!”. Wtf is with the younger generations obsession with “retro tech”?!? “Look bro, I can do the same thing we can do now, but slower and worse!”

Also Matrix. If you’re gonna suggest something, maybe make sure it doesn’t already exist.

Install steam. Run in big picture mode. Done. That’s a steam machine. I don’t get what you think a dedicated machine is going to do any differently. There is a reason Steam abandoned the idea themselves.

A lot ship with Linux. And having a full PC you can use is a downside? So you’d rather have a limited box? That’s not even valves philosophy, so I don’t know where you’re getting that BS from.

It’s called a Mini PC or a NUC. They already exist. Go buy one and slap Steam on it. Done.

The people who actually want this have already done it.

They already exist. They’re called mini PCs or NUCs. Just buy one of those and you’re already there. Literally. This whole article and thread is garbage. They already exist. They just aren’t branded Steam.

In those experiments, the speaking portion of Joe has no clue what the other side is experiencing. Like they show it to him on the wrong side and say “can you see this?” “No”. Then they ask him to draw it, and to his amazement he does. It’s not just being unable to vocalize certain thoughts - they’re not even there to vocalize at all to that part of the brain. But the other half is happily chugging away with that info

Get off your high horse. It’s a joke about layout and styling. It’s the “don’t dead, open inside” meme from way back.

No one is ignoring the issue. It’s plastered on the front page daily. We’ll be just fine without you. You’re not spearheading some unknown cause. Go touch grass.

And if your friend isn’t convinced by you and somehow missed the months long protest, destruction of third party apps, and mass exodus, honestly they should stay in reddit. We don’t need another Facebook.

Plus, have you considered that Lemmy isnt singularly owned? You literally can’t say ANY of what you want to say in your ads. “We don’t have ads”. Really? You can assure me that no single instance has ads? Which instance are you even going to link to? Your own? What makes that one special? What happens when you advertise for “Lemmy” and people find the intolerant instances and assume that’s all of the fediverse? What about other offshoots like kbin and mastodon? Not gonna advertise for them? And why should I trust you with money in the first place? For all I know it’s just a scam to collect money and run. What happens when someone else pops up claiming that their donation campaign is the real one and yours is fake? Literally anyone can spin up an instance and claim to be “doing it for Lemmy!”

Yeah, hard hard hard no

Lmfao. Lemmy was PLASTERED on the front page. It was on r/place along with “FUCK SPEZ”. If you missed it, you’re just not even looking. And if you’re not even looking and don’t care and think reddit is just wonderful, again, do we really want you?

And seriously, with Lemmy being FILLED with “dae Linux?” and “communism good” posts and programming humor hitting my front page HOURLY, you’re honestly trying to tell me “the programmers and lefties don’t know about this place”? Seriously?!?!

And you think that the people who already saw entire subreddits shutdown in protest, with Lemmy plastered all over the place as an alternative, who decided to stay after all the content creators left, THOSE PEOPLE, are the ones you want to now court over?

Again, quality vs quantity.

We already gained the quality contributors from reddit. Advertising now is just drawing from the bottom of the barrel.

“are you sick of ads? Heres an ad!” Doesn’t have the same impact you think it does.

Also, food for thought: you really want to invite the kind of people who can’t use adblockers here? Barriers to entry aren’t necessarily a bad thing. You want quality, not quantity. More people isn’t necessarily better. And the people who stuck by reddit and spez through all of that?

Reptilians: Notice I didn’t list that one? And how I said “most”? Thank you for demonstrating the lack of reading comprehension and context I was specifically pointing out. May others look at your comment as a perfect example of being dense and obtuse.

Fyi, “chem trails”, or “cloud seeding”, as it’s actually called, is very much real. When you search by it’s real name, you’ll find programs going back to the 60s. California, for example.

MANY conspiracy theories are based on a shred of truth. UFOs are mostly classified craft(the Blackbird was one, once known as the UFO “Aurora”).

Flat Earth was just a group that liked to jokingly entertain crazy ideas for shits and giggles that got coopted by people who took the satire seriously.

We’d do ourselves a great service if we stopped seeing every issue in broad strokes and saw the nuance and context behind it. You’re no better with your rant broadly denouncing a wide array of topics in mass.

You mean there’s not still a team of developers working full time to make sure your 8 year old hardware is still getting software/security parity? Color me shocked. Shocked I say! They should support your hardware for free forever! How dare they advance in such a way that it’s not possible for my 8 year old hardware to run the exact same as modern hardware that’s been updated and iterated hundreds of times since then.

Honestly, this schtick is so tired and played out. I don’t believe you are who you claim to be, and even if you are, so fucking what? Big fucking deal. Its honestly pathetic if you really are her constantly going “hey look, it’s me!”. And if you’re not her, why are you running around the internet cosplaying it?

You seem mentally ill and everyone needs to stop enabling your delusions.

I feel it’s like saying “matter is mostly empty space and objects don’t actually touch, they repel each other”. Yes, that may be true on a physics/atomic level, but on a practical, every day level, objets are “solid” and they “touch”.

Yeah, pink/brown doesn’t “exist”. There is no “pink wavelength”. It’s “a composite”. But you can still pull a pink crayon out and everyone agrees “yeah, that’s pink”.

Saying colors don’t exist is splitting hairs in a context most people aren’t referring to.

In the case of the shrimp, it does matter because are they seeing “pink” or “red while also seeing purple separately and distinctly”? It’s asking if they are processing the colors in the same format.
