A part of me wonders if Obama really wanted to say that. But then again, Obama is also part of the corporate machine.

Would love for your mod experience to come over here!

There’s a lot of growth and community organization we need at Lemmy!

I never even heard of Blorp.

That’s what makes this piece of the internet so cool.

That’s what happened in Cyberpunk. Internet became garbage because of rogue AI.

Haha! You’re just like my buddy!

My superior M&KB did not prepare me to be owned so much in Halo!

Those controller folks are gifted.

A lot of games have aim assist with controllers. I’m currently playing Read Dead Redemption 2 and when you aim with a controller, it auto locks to their body.

I noticed that with a bunch of games when I’m playing on the Steam Deck.

KB&M with Arkham games was my jam! Now that I’m better with a controller, I can see why people like it.

Haha that was me!

I grew up on it. I even played 2D platformers (emulated) and fighting games on it.

Only in the past few years have I gotten used to a controller. Mostly because Sekiro was kicking my ass and when I whined about it, the internet made fun of me and I finally bought a USB controller.

I’m still trash though I got mods to make me near invincible.

I tried to replay PS1 Tomb Raider and nearly threw the controller away.

I don’t know how I did it as a kid.

Quake 3 on the dreamcast with M&KB! Spent like 50 bucks to gain a edge! I was even online with it!

Unfortunately I’m trash and people are just really good at Quake.

I remember hating Metroid Prime’s controller scheme on the Gamecube. The controls felt so stiff. But I was so in love with the universe and gameplay that I just accepted it, kind of like every Rockstar game.

Now I wish I played it on the Wii.

I came to this comment when you had -2, which was ridiculous.

It’s really frustrating reading Lemmy commenters like, “America do something!” Like God damn! The news doesn’t want to report on all the work the millions of Americans have been doing to protect our streets because they’re paid by billionaires.

Pretty much. Going to bet that maga nut had that whole complaint prepared days in advance for this.

Not sure who is downvoting this. If you’re young, you may have never experienced this in your life. But this comment nailed it.

I’ve reached an age where Im reminded of this constantly at all levels.

• I’m here for the money or conservative principles, never intended to change anything, and didn’t sign up for this shit: Retiring to my Swiss chalet.

This one is the most common from my perspective. A lot of cheery hopefuls run for politics for one or two very specific causes. Then after watching the slow machine of government move and it takes 9 months to even get traction on their cause, they check out mentally and are just staying for the money.

In my town, while ICE is kidnapping people off the street, half of the local gov are silent because their political platform was to upgrade a park’s dog area, or provide snacks for libraries, not dealing with armed masked goons.

For every AOC out there, there’s a thousand acting gov officials that quietly just want a paycheck and healthcare, and then causally run again unopposed.

Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!

So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).

I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.

Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.

For e2ee, neither does Discord, nor Stoat, which is what most of these comments are pushing people towards.

What was the problem with Zulip on mobile did you have?

I only use it for text chat, so I’m curious.

It does lead to slippery slopes. First, it’s to block “adult content”.

Then, they’ll consider certain topics “adult”. News about current events? LGBT content? Video games with some violence in it?

Facebook is an example of this slippery slope. And for parts of the country, they do need to scan an ID.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R, Tenn.) posted on X on Monday evening a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in which he called for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and broadcaster NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval” of what he alleged to be “a performance dominated by sexually explicit lyrical themes and suggestive choreography.”

Oh yeah. Based on the phrasing… This is projection.

Check this guy’s laptop.
