  • Well, obviously surviving is a bigger deal than one feeling...but, in some cases, having a feeling can lead to surviving something or succumbing to something.

  • Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
  • I think Win10 already is everything what I need.

    I have gotten a small feel of 11 from my girlfriend's laptop - it feels alright.

    But I think I won't have reasons to upgrade. I haven't studied 11 at all so I don't even know am I missing something lol

  • I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks.
  • I think I'm gonna disagree with the fandom dying thing.

    From a system's perspective - if it exist for a reason, for someone to use it, and then they stop using it and go away, leaving it alone without any use, I'd see that system being abandoned, lost, or dead.

    Then again - someone can come back to it and turn it "alive" or active again!

  • Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation
  • When I don't find information through a search engine, I go asking it from people themselves.

    Discord is an easy solution for me to find this information at that point. Much easier than generating yet another user account in a website I might use once in my life, while I already use discord a lot.
    By the way - you can search for messages you have sent and for messages that were pointed directly to you. Makes delving into old conversations much easier.

    Of course Telegram and other services like that can help too.

  • Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation
  • Maybe the devs love keeping answering same questions over Discord? =D

  • Is TV Dead? Global TV Shipments Hit a Decade Low in 2023
  • I don't remember when I watched the telly at home previously. Most of my entertainment are games and then some YouTube and movies not so often (lurking in friend's online streaming services or googling "watch x for free").

    Stopped watching the television when too many ads erupted even between the movies that were my last interest in this service.

    Most of my telly shows I see nowadays are at a friend's place, and I'm every time annoyed about the amount of ads.

  • The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing
  • I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!

  • What is your current wallpaper? Where did you find it?
  • I have over 300 wallpapers in my folder on the computer. I have told windows to change them every 10 minutes I recall. They are about games, friends, all sorts of characters, movies and horror at least.

    My laptop has the default wallpaper - it has had it since from the beginning. My phone...I don't remember where I got it.

  • Sam Altman Says AI Using Too Much Energy, Will Require Breakthrough Energy Source
  • Erm.

    I recall a study about kids under a specific age that cannot get scared of looking at pictures of demons and other horror stuff because they don't know yet what your everyday default person looks like.

    So I'd argue that even people need to get accustomed to a thing before they could recognise or have an opinion about anything.

  • Please chill
  • Yeah - I like the idea that if a character's fundamental stat is (too) low, doing basic everyday tasks would get an increased difficulty to do it right/with success. Being it talking to someone, opening a door or getting out of bed.

  • Hmm. Depends probably on do you leave the knives out, have paper/cardboard/plastic knives or real fighter knives with the costume!

    An easier Halloween costume is Ghostface. No trousers and a shirt/jacket but a robe.
    My friend drew the outline of the knife he uses in the movie in cardboard and I added many layers, getting a nice, thicker cardboard knife!

  • My friend burned her text for the same effect.

  • Is there a country/state/etc that hasn't got a strong work culture?
  • What is your definition of a strong work culture...

    A good question!
    I don't have a fact-based or a researched answer for you. My gut feeling thinks about workaholism, burn-outs and generally people having less leisure time.
    I just came to think through a Lemmy post/comment that a lower work culture can be a thing at all. Or is it a thing existing at all, in any country.

    I've understood that America is a strong work culture, and Finland as well. But are there places with a lower work culture?

    ...what country are you from

    Finland

    Do you see a your definition of a strong work culture as a good, bad or neutral thing for the society?

    Haven't thought of it. I feel neutral about it.

    The only thing that concerns me is that there could be more burn-outs, more workaholism and more inflamed points of views towards the balance between work and leisure time in a stronger work culture.

  • I am "with" the church since I got the same religion my parents got when I was born. I haven't left the church and I still pay the church tax, but that's it. I'm not religious myself.

    I don't know religious people, there are none in my social circle. I don't know religious people's practices.

    I know that fanatics can be found in many fields of life, not just religion, and I know that things can get messy in the bigger scale and that money and power are involved.
    I don't have anything against religions either. I'm against acts that hurt people though. If a religion is the reason someone causes pain in others, that's not okay.

    My intention was not to upvote or downvote such an AI system.
    My point was to bring it here for discussion and to think about it, neutrally 😁

    Is there an insect that can devour plastic, breaking it down to less harmful components?

    I felt a strange urge to buy me some bugs and let them eat my plastic garbage after watching this video 😂

    Someone commented that microplastics would still emerge during/after bugs have dealt with plastics. Do we have any bug existing that could eliminate microplastics as well?

    Can be extended to self-driving cars that need to "decide", who they rather run over.

    Jigsaw puzzle site with multiplayer and custom images
    • Can choose piece amount from many options (1K max)
    • Can choose background color
    • Has a few hotkeys to reset piece positions
    • Needs a working URL to be used as a custom picture
    • Does not have a points or ranking system (feels less competitious and more relaxed)

    I am a peer volunteer related to problematic gaming. AMA!
    digipelirajaton.fi In English - Limitless Gaming - Digipelirajaton

    Limitless Gaming is a nationwide in Finland. Project is raising awareness about gaming and gaming-related problems.

    In English - Limitless Gaming - Digipelirajaton

    Sosped's Limitless Gaming (Digipelirajaton) is a nationwide action that tackels problematic gaming in Finland.

    I hail from the very first trained batch of volunteers, starting from 2018. I have been in a few action-based peer support groups (bootcamps), given one or two interviews to the radio and a news article, giving information about stuff to social (and other) workers and many more things.

    MAMA Noodles - Sustainability - Palm Oil?

    I am skeptical that MAMA is using certificated palm oil.

    .

    ! As seen in nuudelit.fi

    ---

    .

    ! As seen in a 2021 report (but I think it's MAMA's own report, so can it be trusted?)

    ---

    .

    What do you guys think or find?

    I enjoy their noodles a lot but I might have to add this to my list of boycotts if I cannot find (enough/correct) evidents...

    New line?

    After almost one month of using Lemmy I finally realised the first way to make a new line.

    ---

    So far I have been

    writing some text

    in this space-taking way.

    ---

    Now I know that through\ adding the symbol \\ after text you wrote\ you can make a new line.

    ---

    Are there any easier ways though? Hitting Enter once doesn't work for some reason.

    Further statistics of a community

    We can see the users/time window, subscribers, posts and comments in the lower right side of a community.

    Is there further data available? Examples: A line chart for every-day activity, and/or the most active members of a community and the amount of their posts/comments etc?

    Talisman

    One of my favorite board games!

    • The game is never-ending (if you so choose). The cards are reshuffled and taken back in the game once they have been used
    • You can become all-mighty if you want to
    • Can have many different endings (options are up to the players)
    • Has lots of addons, giving new areas, cards, player characters, functions and endings
    • Has a rather cheap (base) game in Steam as well
    • Lots of stuff to remember what you can do, once you have spells and items and followers

    If you know the 20 questions -social (party) game, this is kinda the computer version of that. He can guess a character, and object or an animal. If he cannot guess what's on your mind, you can teach it to him!

    I asked the pizza makers to draw a Halloween-themed drawing on the pizza box!

    We ordered through an app.

    I didn't actually believe I'd see anything drawn, so this was a nice surprise!

    (On the downside - Mi'Lady got one wrong topping in her pizza)

    Living in a van instead of an old-fashioned house

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAFXPsh8L1w

    I don't have any experience in this stuff myself but I wanted to share the video.

    Home is close all the time. Living costs could be far smaller. If you like traveling, this seems like an epic answer for that.

    Gotta probably work harder for filling basic needs. It's different to maintain a house and a car. If you get sick, this lifestyle could be more difficult. Winters are cold in some places.
