Does Lemmy feel hostile and/or insular to you?
Might be the community or instance your interacting with. I've not really noticed anything like that.
Then again, I just ban anything I'm not interested in seeing.

Bazzite Auto Updates
Personally, I'm not concerned at all. Its trivially easy to revert to an earlier version if there is an issue.

It took me way to long to realize that was a scarf and not an absurdly large grin. Guess everything looks the sane when you have your phone on black and white mode.

Huh, I hadn't realized, but that explanation does a lot to explain why I haven't enjoyed his videos as much these last few years as I used to.

What's one highly extolled piece of media that you absolutely cannot stand in any way shape or form.

The plot sucks and the characters are forgettable, but that's not the point. The point is the graphics, the locations, the crazy wildlife and eywa. The neural queues and the floating islands. Its a masterclass in world building, and has been an endless source of inspiration.

Avatar the last airbender.
Literally the only thing interesting is the serial reincarnation of the Avatar, the disability representation in Toph, and that weird demigod of misfortune people call the cabbage merchant.
Literally everything else sucks. The graphics are meh, the lore is forgettable, the magic system is somehow both overly complicated and restrictive, the characters are cringy and uncomfortable, Aang's pacifism is infuriating, and the plot even more so.
Personally, the James Cameron movie is far superior. Not because of its characters or story. God no. But its worldbuilding is far superior. Eywa and the neural queues the Na'vi and the other local flora and fauna have has been a genuine inspiration to so many of my world building projects its crazy.
The visuals are crazy impressive too for the time period, and those floating mountains are just gorgeous.
Really, ATLA sucks in comparison, and I hate it when people slander the true Avatar just to push up their own cringy mess.

Everything going on has got me down, I need a break. What's something good that's happened in your life recently?
I got hired!
Granted, my bike was stolen pretty much immediately, but still! I'm exited to potentially not be broke anymore, once that first paycheck comes in.

Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?
The Bic pen. Sure, you can make it better, but then the price has to go up. You can still buy a nearly unchanged Bic pen from any office store for cheaper than any other writing tool, nearly identical to what they looked like when they were first invented.

Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?
Librewolf. It does everything i need, and nothing i don't. It doesn't have bloatware or adware, and it respects my privacy. That's all I care about, besides that it can still do everything I need a browser to do.

How do you feel about brushing teeth at the office?
From my perspective, the issue isnt them brushing their teeth, bit that they aren't cleaning up after themselves.

It was best as a silly toy language in the 1990's...
Feels the same whenever a project is written in python, but I uninstall it too.

Steam Banned A Horror Game Before It Could Launch, So Now It’s Free

You... do know that Steam isn't the issue here, right? It's Visa and Mastercard that are being cunts

I would like to know what native English speakers think of my writing?
It's pretty good, easier to read than most native speakers I'd say.
If I had to give a critique, I'd say the letters are rather round, so it can be hard to tell an 'a' from an 'o', but most people develop quirks like that in English so it's perfectly fine.

Iowa teen dies after being mistaken for squirrel during hunting trip, officials say

Fair, I hadn't thought of that but it makes sense. My first thought was that it was a very blatant murder cover up. But ive apparently fallen too deep into fiction if that's what cane to mind first.

Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.
Votes have always been public though? Nothing about the fediverse is private or secure. It's that way by design. This just makes some features easier to access.

The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game.
For me, it goes:
0 - hell no
1 to 5 - sure why not, that's about as much as a bottled drink.
6 to 10 - maybe once a month.
11 to 15 - better be a pretty damn good game, or I'm refunding.
16 to 20 - I'm waiting for a discount, not worth it.
21 to 60 - hell no
61+ - I'm blacklisting your company from my recommendations.
