State of Voyager for Lemmy, 2025 edition
The tinkerer in me keeps trying other apps.
I always come back to voyager. Regardless of the current road map, you're doing a killer job.

Do e-cigarettes actually work?
Current e-cig user here.
Honestly, as a smoker, it's a godsend. The smoke goes away so quickly, it has higher nicotine than cigarettes when purchased the RIGHT way, and since I can now smoke inside, I can puff on it all day every day as I work from home!
In all seriousness, it's worse imo. It sets the precedent from the 50s of smoking EVERYWHERE and now without any of the negative outward effects like smell or yellowing of the teeth/walls.
It's honestly made my addiction worse. To each their own for sure, but in my experience it just made my bad habit SLIGHTLY healthier, but much more accessible.
It requires a significant amount of willpower to break the addiction, but for those of us that do not, definitely do not pick this up. It will not help. If you have that willpower, it is useful.

Looking for new Site Admins
I'd be happy to apply, but requiring a CV and full background check in addition to a video call interview is a bit steep for me.
Just the video call I'd absolutely be applying, I genuinely believe in Lemmy and want to see it succeed, but not to the point that I'm willing to put this much information into non-employment hands.
Good luck on the search.

Flat to not flat
Aye it's the humanity problem.
Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of "group".
Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.

Unpopular opinion : Bing is a better search engine than Google when it comes to piracy

Just because something is old knowledge doesn't mean it's common knowledge!
People get so weird about that. Yeah I knew, but before I knew, I didn't.

If someone doesn't wear a seatbelt and kills another person as a result who is wearing a seatbelt could that person face a manslaughter charge?
As I understand it, getting someone killed through negligence of any kind is manslaughter.
So I'd say yes.

What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?
Reply in thread
Iirc this is an inside joke by the devs.
In Japanese, it's Hai (yes) town, which evidently was the name of the building they spent a lot of time in during development.
I can't find any real credible source, but some mentions of it going back 4 or 5 years.

I REALLY need to get medicated.

Researchers watched 150 episodes of Bluey – they found it can teach kids about resilience for real life
Reply in thread
I strive to be as good a parent as Bandit and Chili are.
The episode that Bingo is having that wild space dream was legitimately visually impressive.
Episode where it's inferred (at least, I don't remember them directly stating it) that Chili's sister can't have children and it bothers her is the one that got me watery-eyed.
On the other hand, the hand puppet unicorn had me pissing myself laughing. "What's your favorite thing to eat?!" "Children..." "Oh.." "Just kidding!"
The staff on Bluey really care about the program, and it shows.

What are some generational differences between millennials and Gen Z ?
Reply in thread
Hi. System Admin millennial here.
You would think that's the case, but in my experience it's not.
Millenials were around during a major shift/evolution in general home computer use, so we're much closer to understanding the "flow" of tech, even if it's older. Gen-Z tries to think in smartphone or tablet mode.
Younger Gen-Z are the same as a blue collar boomer: when the company I work for hires a Gen-Z employee, I spend a ton of time with them the first few weeks "fixing" their "broken" machines. Most of the Millenials that are hired can do the general troubleshooting themselves.
I will agree with the music bit though.

Mike Johnson's porn "monitoring" remarks spark national security concerns

Hello fellow admin.
Feel the same way. The most secure network is only as secure as its dumbest user.
Sadly we're still a couple hundred years off of that being less of a concern :/.

Wise words from Master
EVERY entry in the MGS series from ps1 onward in its entirety (minus Survive) is one of those "if only I could play it for then first time again" games.
Have you ever played them or is this your first time through the series?
