Elaborate. You’re saying my comment has a bad generalization? Do you think that Lemmy’s demographic appeal wasn’t primarily towards males with niche usually tech-related interests? Or are you surprised that large parts of said nerdy male demographic (e.g. gamers, techbros, cryptobros, webdevs/software devs) often have sexist/misogynistic views and objectify/sexualize/"other"ify women significantly more than your average leftist, even if they don’t think they do?

If it’s the latter, do you really think that the claim large communities of mostly male gamers, techbros, and the like are often known for harboring much misogynist thinking, so it makes sense for that to carry over to a site which those groups primarily compose is baseless?

Or was your issue something else completely unrelated to the site’s former demographics and the general tendencies of technology-related communities?

Was it me saying that sexist attitudes are extremely common on the site? Because I did base that on numerous observations of users treating women like a different species and casually using very degrading sexist language when speaking about women. And people taking generalizations of women to the extreme, which seeing as you apparently hate generalizations you’d probably love to argue with them for. And people constantly complaining about women’s “privilege” and seemingly blaming them for men’s societal issues. What made me realize that I’m not just getting a bad sample is when I went to look on communities on Lemmy for women & non-binary folks and the literal first threads I saw were saying how they experienced the same things, like these, although they’re tamer than much of the stuff I sometimes see:

Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4

Near enough to be relatively confident in how much we won’t progress in terms of colonizing space. The general public severely underestimates the limits to space travel & survival. It’s not like I can tell you exactly what or when technology will be like in some exact point in the future, but it’d probably be a few hundred years until we could actually make nation-sized space colonies, and there’s pretty much no future where space habitation replaces or becomes greater than Earth habitation, unless we go ahead thousands if years. There were a few interesting astrophysics papers estimating that near-lightspeed and FTL travel tech is like 8000 years away lol.

“Future technology” can’t solve all of our problems. It’s not magic.

Pointing out casual misogyny/sexism, it’s extremely common on Lemmy (not surprising when the platform mostly only appealed to nerdy young dudes up until recently)

Lol space will NOT make any difference at all. That technology is not progressing at a rate where we could have millions, let alone billions of people inhabiting space in the near future. We’d also pretty much be completely limited to our solar system, meaning planet-wise we have maybe Mars and Europa and Titan at best… but there’s absolutely no chance of any meaningful colonial activity on those planets, Mars would probably have something similar to Antarctic research facilities on it but that’s about it.

once or forever, depending on your perspective

usually

my guy have you been to hexbear or lemmygrad? every other post on those forums are just people whining about westerners treating china and russia like they’re totalitarian/dictatorships and genocidal (because they are) and then saying that the US is even worse with less freedom of speech and more authoritarian. and obviously the constant uyghur genocide denial saying they’re just being “(re)educated” and they’re “integrating” with the mainland communities/culture more, then deflecting and rationalizing that even if it is genocide then it’s good because US wage slavery & prison labour is bad.

plus calling ukraine nazis and in general being anti-ukraine, saying that ukrainians want to be part of russia and that ukraine was better off as part of the soviet empire, claiming that putin was justified in invading “because NATO” even though there was no way in hell of ukraine joining NATO (they don’t accept unstable countries or countries with foreign non-NATO military/rebel presence) and even after NATO started backing away from ukraine in order to please russia (tankie claims which are silly and a sick joke)…

it’s not nearly as bad on lemmy.ml, it’s mostly limited to the minority here, but the other two are definitely filled to the brim with imperialists/red nazis in denial…

Watt-hours

how hard is it to just use joules 😭 the consequences of non-metric time are grave

i’m just kidding btw, i know why watt-hours are used

I can +1 this, a looong time ago I tried uninstalling Microsoft Edge and it made the system go ballistic. Every time I clicked a link, instead of going to my default browser (Chrome then) it would just open a completely broken Edge window with no functionality. Any time I tried to change settings, it’d do the same thing. Anything to do with touching the internet got fucked. I spent hours trying to reinstall Edge, contacting a Microsoft support person who was useless, before I realized that the official site only provides the Windows download for Edge if you set your user agent with… any system other than Windows. Huh.

these are definitely not the words of a cybersecurity prodigy, i can tell that

god, you’re gonna make me orgasm

i don’t wanna be the one to tell the slaves “hey guys i know forced labour sucks and all but we gotta have more ammo for this random war half-way across the globe so you’ll just have to push through it”

same for things like EVs. i like things that use batteries a lot, but i’d really have a stronger guarantee that the materials to make it aren’t sourced by slave labour or methods that harm the local ecosystem… i mean a large part of that problem is also that the US has fuck all for recycling laws, i don’t think most lithium is actually recycled anyways. but that’s a different topic

“Hello, losers”

damn guess every speaker of multiple english dialects sound like idiots

I’m pretty sure the only difference would be that people with a jailbroken switch can extract prod.keys from it. But afaik most of the tools people made to assist with that got obliterated so I don’t think it’s worth doing for most people.

depending on the implementation this may be optional or not allowed though

download Ryujinx, get keys by downloading them from a site (like from prodkeys.net) and you should get files “prod.keys” and “title.keys”, place them in “./Ryujinx/system/”. then you can go on a site like www.nxbrew.com, download nsp or xci files of the game (and a potential updates and whatever dlc), and throw them in folders of your choice (i personally have a “roms” folder with all my game files for different consoles, including a “switch” folder, with folders called “games” and subfolders “updates”, “dlc”, “mods”, “cheats”).

then, get on ryujinx, select the folder with your games as your game directory, and your games should be visible. you can right click on the game on the list and add updates or dlc, you can go to the mod directory ryujinx made for the game and add a bunch of folders with the mod data inside of it (for example, for ACNH i might have a folder called “360_camera” and inside of it will be a folder called “romfs”/“romFs” which will have a bunch of files/folders for the mod in it) and then select the mods to enable. for cheats you just need a folder named “cheats” in the mod directory and then you can put cheats for the game in plain text in the folder.

you can also mess with the graphics settings, use an input device (probably an xbox/playstation/switch controller), change datetime (although i find it doesn’t allow you to make the date out of sync with your device’s date, so you may want to go to your computer settings and manually change it if you want to do that), etc.

redditors even on piracy subs treat actually pirating things like it’s voldemort, so when i wanted to emulate switch games it was a pain in the ass for me to find out what i needed to do, i hope this helps you not run into those issues lol.

It genuinely surprises me the amount of diehard nintendo fans who will defend the corporation’s heinous acts tooth and nail that there are. They make good games, and they were my childhood, therefore their wrongs are excusable (or not wrongs at all)!

i’d play totk on grapefruit, or kiyomi, or tangor, or even rangpur. perhaps kampei, or jabara, or iyokan. maybe lumia or pompia, or daidai, or chinotto, or calamansi. koji and reikou work too. suenkat/sunki, sudachi, kabosu, oroblanco, dangyuja, amanatsu… the possibilities are endless!

but maybe citri are too obvious, maybe we should think out of the box… like melons! honeydew sounds like a good emulator name (maybe a bit overused though), and so does argos, gaya or hami too! kajari, mirza, and dosakai as well…

generally furries are really good creatives in a wide variety of differnent areas
