I still use redirects to visit Reddit (I don’t bother if they don’t work), mainly because one of the main communities I track didn’t really move here.
Does Youtube count? That’s pretty much the only other thing I could think of.

I’m not

I can’t even try using an alternative redirect because apparently all of them are blocked.

The first time I gave up was basically just too much back and forth with Windows. Wine was still not there yet and Proton wasn’t even a thing yet though.

I’ve used it a lot on laptops still, but haven’t gone to a desktop mainly because friends still like to bounce between games that I have to worry if my system will even support (for anti-cheat reasons not for normal compatibility reasons)

Currently using on steam deck and it’s great, am planning for next PC because it feels like too much work to do on a current one when everything is already working the way I want it to.

Gnome’s current state is too far from the UI interface for people who only know windows. Maybe if it was Gnome2.

Normalized???

It’s still literally rated as less family friendly than watching blood and gore murder.

If anything I’d argue that sexual repression is still going as strong as ever in some places. In some cases to unhealthy amounts.

Power supplies and motherboards for PCs

generally if either of them go the rest of your investment goes with it. Worst case scenario the power supply damages the motherboard meaning your cheap purchase made you lose more parts.

Twilight Zone?

To be fair nobody thought he would have fascist policies in 2016. Just that he was dumb and incompetent.

I feel like this isn’t really something Lemmy can answer, because we don’t know your group. I personally think you should just draw it into the open, get everyone to vent out, and try to keep it from getting any worse than it already is, but I couldn’t say I know how bad it actually is at the moment. Maybe talk with the one guy who has noticed the changes as well and see what he thinks.

Also means it’s not always bad. You can’t dictate what people should do and decidedly say it will always be gross off of a “sometimes” like you’ve been doing in this thread.

You’re honestly arguing a lot of “maybe” for what other people say while being very black/white yourself. Might want to check that.

Sounds like a you problem. Moreso that everything smells like poop to you if it’s not artificially created.

I want to try to be a bit nicer but wow you went from body odor to poop to argue natural smells. Isn’t the typically poetic phrase of smells to “smell like flowers” you know…a natural occurrence in nature?

You know not everyone smells as bad as you do without Deodorant, right?

Like you have a really strong opinion for something that genetically is different person to person both in what comes out and what is perceived.

Am I bullshitting, or am I applying the only leverage I have over the party?

You’re bullshitting

I feel like you’ve had plenty of years to see how that “leverage” is going, and choosing now specifically to try to enforce it is really suspicious.

Stop bullshitting. You’ll sit on your morals while a dictator takes over, just being happy you didn’t “compromise your morals.”

Which ultimately just means doing nothing while the dictator takes over.

I don’t particularly care about the democratic party threat, I care about the uptick in voting issues, the supreme court, and…you know…that the opposing party is trying to vote in someone who attempted to not give up the office

So you know, the recent ones that a lot of people started voting in about.

If you truly believe that’s nothing new, i’ll just consider you to be part of that astroturfing described above and ask you to stop wasting my time. Seriously…

How are you hearing it every single election? The main issues didn’t start popping up (or at least blatantly enough to change voter turnout) until the 2016 election.

Like that’s not nearly enough elections in between to hear the excuse every election.

Has anyone tried explaining that if you allow in the people literally trying to take their rights away, they won’t get another chance to vote in a politician against genocide?

Like the genocide is awful but it shouldn’t make people forget they have very close to home issues currently happening right now.

Warcraft III had maps called “RP Maps”, which were kindof like D&D placing things, except everyone had the same control over the map. So it became more about telling a story rather than one person leading a group’s game for them.

When wc3 kindof died off that kindof game along with many others didn’t leave it. SCII mapmakers tried but it had issues with the complexity, and with SCII not allowing traditional saving for long sessions.

A lot of sandbox games are cool, but built around FPS engines instead of anything third person.

Basically when I don’t feel like there are plans for immediate sweeping terrible decisions that will take decades to undo

I think it helped with a internet issue once, but I probably just needed to reset something.

I’m pretty sure it just does the absolute basic troubleshooting.
