If you've heard their work, and understood who wrote it, you would know that Matty Healy is not a white supremacist. He's just a fucking idiot with a shit sense of humor. Kinda tired of people framing people as extremists when they made a few problematic remarks on a couple podcasts at worst.

Punk isn't a genre, it's a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.

The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.

As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

If you're judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

Action sports games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, 1080, Wave Race, Steep, and more. I mentioned Steep because it's the latest mainstream attempt but I feel like it never really found it's footing.

As long as the internet remains open, even if it's in our own private corner, then we'll always have a place to go, even if the place changes. If Google's "internet DRM" ever becomes a thing, we're completely fucked.

Anything that involves the mechanic "defeat all the enemies in this room in order to unlock the next room" is a huge turn off for me.

I'm a big fan of taking old electroics, taking them apart, and then organizing them neatly in a frame, like this example.

If you are going to keep electronics however, I definitely recommend removing the battery and recycling it. Phones aren't fire hazards but batteries definitely are, especially the ones in the old iPods.

Thought I'd throw my opinion into the ring here, since literally every comment is shitting on this.

Arc is a design project, that also happens to be a web browser. If you're just calling this "another chromium fork", I think you're completely missing the point of who this product is for. First of all, it's not for you.

Secondly, the design changes that arc is working on perfecting are pretty groundbreaking. The ability to customize the css and functionality of any web page without code and it saves your profiles for future use with a marketplace is super interesting to me. So much UI on modern websites is entirely unnecessary. As a designer, this is a dream.

Also, nobody is mentioning that their working on a Windows version THAT NATIVELY RUNS SWIFT ON WINDOWS. This is a big deal for future cross compatibility in general, why are so many people not looking at this?

Anyway that's my rant. Trying to voice my opinions even if they're the odd ones out to prevent a Lemmy based echo chamber. Feel free to disagree.

If there's a 14-year-old coding prodigy who can do something truly amazing in less than 24 hours, we need you now more than ever.

Iced milk. That's amazing. I'm stealing this.

What gets me the most is that we're talking about the same company who created Super Mario Bros., a game famous for it's lack of tutorial. People call the level design "genius" because it teaches you what power-ups and enemies are immediately.

What in the actual frick happened to this? Didn't Miyamoto create Mario for crying out loud? What happened to these core principles? Money? Demographics for children?

 

Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they're always changing things to appeal to people who don't play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

 

I made a guide on how to go from zero to hero: Self hosting a lemmy server. All you need is an old pc, a thumb drive, and some time.

Please let me know if there are errors. This is the first draft. Thank you!!!
