I would personally be inclined to take the meeting to better know how to counter their efforts.

Wow. That's especially pathetic of the admins.

Install Emu Deck and it handles the rest for you in an intuitive GUI

In the USA, work culture means losing rights. Those of us that have pushed back against illegal behavior in the workplace are pretty quickly blackballed.

Trust me, we know workers have more rights in Europe. There's little-to-nothing we can do to enact those sorts of protections here. The rich have us by the throat.

I'd say it's kinda like having a "10-second" car that everyone loves and wants, but then you start ripping out some of the best performance parts and installing inferior parts in their place.

Does the car still run? It does. Is it slowly imploding because you've upset the engine's balance to the point where it's becoming dysfunctional? Also yes.

It's only a matter of time before the pretty paint job no longer hides the garbage under the hood.

So one can tell you that the other is costing you too much.

"Let's play a round of slappers only!"

"Okay, but nobody is playing as Odd Job!"

Brigading is a coordinated effort that starts in one or more external communities and is directed at a specific target. That's not what you're describing.

Perhaps it's the case that a Conservative community is just unpopular among users browsing /all? This isn't a strictly USA politics thing. You're getting international users seeing this content too.

Even with your proposed change - which I think I agree with, but not for the same reason - nothing is going to prevent users from browsing and potentially downvoting submissions.

If there is this much sensitivity to meaningless Web points (seriously, there are no karma totals here), then I think a better solution might be to find or start an instance run by people who share Conservative values and have that instance control the desired level of federation with other instances.

The PS1 had a good Quake II port, which is even better with the flexibility of customizing the controls through emulators.

Several of the politically conservative subs would do that to redditors who commented in other subs with opposing ideologies. You didn't even have to comment in the conservative subs to get a ban.

And as petty as I think that is, I still think it is their right to run an unchallenged echo chamber with completely homogeneous opinions. Similarly Lemmy instances are free to federate or defederate as they see fit.

I very much agree with giving source instances a chance to discipline/ban bad actors. Hopefully this will evolve in that direction. For now the Beehaw admins feel that the right mod tools are not yet available. They have a specific vision for what they want to build, and it is completely up to them how they go about that.

That doesn't mean everyone external has to agree or like their decisions, but it's their house, their rules.

IIRC it's a bug not specific to the Steam Deck, but something to do with the way Linux is handling audio. So the fix then is harder to get implemented since it isn't confined to code that Valve controls. Valve has to wait for the problem to be fixed in the greater Linuxosphere first, but I'm sure they're assisting with it.

I recently read the first Foundation novel as well as most of the second. Asimov was clearly not envisioning a more egalitarian future when he wrote about housewives destabilizing society when their appliances break and they can't get them fixed or replaced.

I honestly lost a lot of interest in continuing the series just because of that, but I also couldn't get attached to any of the characters since it zips around in history so quickly. I get that civilization itself is supposed to be a "character" of sorts, but that just doesn't appeal to me.

I did like the first season of the show, however.

I've been experiencing this on my comments too. I specifically kept my account open for now because I figured this might happen, and I want to be able to keep editing and deleting them.

I have a friend who tried to get me to join him and his online buddies on every new big multiplayer game. Out of the literally dozens he recommended to me, I bought maybe two, and those two have a great single player campaign.

I've always preferred single player games, and I feel like I don't waste money like I would on whatever the current hot MMO is. MMOs go stale or the community changes, and then you will probably never play it again. Single player games just largely don't go that way and are repayable.

The quality of the test environment isn't guaranteed though. I ran a production system that had a shell of a "test" environment with no data from prod. I repeatedly told the vendor testing in their "test" environment was worthless because without the prod data I had no real way to recreate so many of the situations that naturally came up for my users in the production software. The vendor refused to correct the problem, so I told them - with all the relevant managers present - to stop asking me to waste my time testing new releases when doing so was effectively useless.

Do you mean we could have seen this trope a dozen times before?

Or 19%?

You can get a sheet of PEI without the metal sheet. Maybe get a piece of glass and that PEI, and stick them together?
