I feel like the only people who actually care are the type who wrap their entire personality around which OS they use

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
This is really a tough one. I hate consolidation, but I also really hate Bobby Kottick.

Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
Path of Exile did the same thing, going from fandom to https://poewiki.net. And thank god they did, fuck fandom

What's with the schism between lemmygrad and beehaw?
Lemmygrad is full of unhinged tankies. I just automatically assume anyone posting there is a child, either physically or mentally.
Beehaw have their own rules, and that's fine. While not my cup of tea, I won't tell them how to run their instance. I respect those rules when I post to their communities. I particularly enjoy their technology and gaming communities.
Other instances are pretty alright. The vibe on lemmy.world is pretty great, which is why it's my home instance.
Edit: inb4 this comment also gets brigaded by tankies chomping at the bit to call me a "liberal"

Twitter limits the number of tweets users can read amid extended outage
Reply in thread
People fail to understand that large projects have inertia. He could have shuttered all twitter offices, fired all employees, and only paid the server bills, and the website would probably continue to function just fine for a few months.
But as a devops/SRE, this whole saga has been awesome to watch

"Tipflation" may be causing tipping backlash as more digital prompts ask for tips
May be? I was at a sandwich place here that had the minimum tip option at 18%.
It's getting fucking stupid

I'd love to, but there's no equivalent. My friend group and I need voice channels with ACL, streaming support, video chat support, and webhook/bot support.

cars are freedom
What about my freedom to walk or bike? My freedom to be able to cross the street? My freedom to get milk without taking 2000 pounds of metal with me?
Cars warp entire cities around them. In an ideal world, everyone would be able to own a car, but very few people would need to own a car

Was lemmygrad refederated with lemmy.world or was it never defederated?

Leftists can be fucking insane too, my guy. Lemmygrad is proof of that

I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.
I signed up for beehaw initially, got in, but wasn't a fan of some of their rules and how they police speech in their community.
All good, I can still view and participate in their comments, but Lemmy.world had more of the vibe i was looking for

TikTok video showing DoorDash driver cursing at customer over 25% tip sparks online debate over tipping culture in the U.S.

Oh no, it's the consequences of his own actions.
I'm all for worker's rights and solidarity among the working class. That doesn't mean I give people carte blanche to be dicks. In the end, I'm paying for a service, and that service doesn't include a man child being upset at my tip.

[Linus Tech Tips] Apple fans, start typing your angry comments now...
It's a shame they couldn't nail the top end because Apple Silicone is honestly really impressive.
Even for me as a Linux guy, the M2 MacBook pro is probably the best laptop I've ever used

You're looking too far into this, my guy. This has nothing to with wealth and power and everything to do with expecting a minimum level of politeness from people I'm paying to provide me with a service. I've had bad days at work, and I've never lashed out at a customer like he has.
The only entitled person in this exchange is the delivery driver who felt that a 20% tip wasn't enough.

He was filthy rich anyway, a few hundred million more doesn't make any difference. If the deal gets him out, then that's still a small win, despite Microsoft owning even more developers

Kbin.social is going through some tough times handling the load right now, so federating a bit hard due to the cloud flare DDOS protection.
It should smooth out, then you'll be able to see the same posts

Is there a way to block entire instances?
If I recall, it's on the roadmap for lemmy development.
I'm glad exploding-heads is defederated, but my blocklist is quickly filling up with lemmygrad and I'd love to stop playing whack-a-mole on All

Biden proposes 'new standard' after Supreme Court overturns affirmative action - UPI.com
While I disagree with the SC decision, I also agree with Biden that a new standard is needed. Race alone could never cover all the possibilities and struggles students faced growing up, and while it was a "good enough" yardstick, I hope we come up with something better.

Earnest Discussion: It has been 3 days and there is virtually no activity here.
Honestly, this is a pretty slow time for PoE content too. We're mid-league, and we just got some cinematic PoE2 trailers without much substance to them. People who really want to discuss PoE will slowly filter their way into Lemmy over the next couple of months, and I'm sure there will be a spike in activity when the next league drops.
I would rather mods stick to their guns. Short term is may be messy, but I think it's best for the longterm health of the community to drop Reddit.
