Spiritfarer was a masterpiece, hope their next game also succeeds.

Knowledge and empowerment!

(But also fire)

Great point. He probably read it as deeply as he played Path of Exile.

Yellow is in the right.

The UN definition of genocide is pretty direct and applicable.

The number of people you lay (on hands) with.

Some jobs (usually ones that are physically demanding/strenuous/require fitness) might have new hires undergo a health screening, though. Don’t want to be sending someone to do underwater welding who suffers from respiratory issues, for example.

But in terms of history, you’re right, absolutely not. If it’s something that might just be sensitive/embarrassing but isn’t part of the job description, it’s none of their business.

It’s also just very hypocritical. It has long been common for immigrants to the US to display the flags of their country of origin. There are still Irish and Italian flags here everywhere. Lots of flags used in the Asian-American community, some even for countries that no longer exist.

Mexico has just been so long maligned by modern white Americans that they don’t believe Mexican-Americans are entitled to the same degree of cultural pride afforded to everyone else.

I think it’s more the fact that kids weren’t really brought to busy markets/stores 100 years ago, nor were there busy streets full of cars everywhere. They stayed home or just in the local environment, and typically mom would also stay home to watch them and make sure they stayed out of trouble.

If you’re asking in terms of Jerboa supporting Piefed, the odds are minimal to none. Jerboa is written directly by the Lemmy developers, and there wouldn’t be much incentive for them to support a different platform than their own.

Lemmy still supports Piefed content and communities by virtue of ActivityPub, but cross-platform apps and user accounts are another matter.

Maybe I’m just feeling unnecessarily vindictive today, but I think it would have been better without the censors. Ad companies deserve to be called out and shamed for what they’ve done to the internet. They’re parasites, and if having this information published would make someone at an ad company feel uncomfortable, good. They should feel that way every day.

That looks closer to where things are today, with a lot of mainstream UIs that aren’t quite superflat going for that frosted, acrylic sort of aesthetic. Translucent but not transparent.

Examples from Windows 11 and iOS 18:

Guessing it’s like how car makers release 2026 models in 2025.

Apple sometimes (often? usually?) releases devices and OS updates towards the end of the year to capitalize on holiday shopping, so their logic is probably that this is what they will “start” 2026 with.

Another user shared this screenshot in the other post about the new design language, and it definitely has readability problems when there’s too much on the display at once.

Agreed. It just looks so busy with all of the background details.

I guess that’s the flaw with this design language. It looks kinda cool, but the effect is not very pronounced unless there are clear background details for it to do its whole refraction thing over. But then when there’s too much background detail, it makes the actual foreground interface harder to read.

I don’t hate it per se, but I think it’s just an unnecessary step backwards from the design languages popular today. But what I know I’m really going to hate is that now everyone is going to be trying to copy Apple’s design language, and we are teetering back towards the bubbly, glossy, skeuomorphic design of Frutiger Aero from the mid 00’s.

You can host your own instance, or use another Fediverse platform which integrates with Lemmy like Mbin or Piefed.

Edit: Also worth noting that your Lemmy instance (lemm.ee) announced they’re going offline at the end of the month, so if you’re looking for alternatives, there’s plenty of options on Lemmy as well as other platforms.

Yeah, ultimately it’s a matter of personal discretion.

Mainly I think we’re at the point where new consoles, now including the Switch, are more like upgrading your PC. Get the newer model to run existing games better.

Games are going to be releasing for both Switch and Switch 2 for a while, so there’s not much incentive to upgrade unless the very small list of Switch 2 exclusives is enticing right now. But if someone’s priority is playing through older games in higher quality now that it is possible to do so without pirating, there are a lot of reasons to upgrade.

It took several years for PS5 to get to the point where it was probably worth it for exclusives alone (and may still not even be there yet for many), but it was worth getting day 1 if there were PS4 games someone wanted to play at higher resolutions and/or framerates, and they didn’t mind the price.

Actually on the topic of price, also worth acknowledging that the market is a bit fucked, and existing consoles have only gone up in price since release, in complete disregard for earlier trends where they usually drop in price over time, so that could be a other reason for someone to want to get in on it early.

It’s not as extreme as Lemmygrad, but there’s a good deal of overlap.

A lot of people, despite using Lemmy, also disagree ideologically with the developers of Lemmy, and feel as though it’s a conflict of interest to both develop the platform and have a preferred instance on it.

I don’t block .ml and I think the majority of users there are fine, but there are a few specific people (a couple who I know also have alts on Lemmygrad) who just show up everywhere and tend to give the entire instance its reputation.

Best we can do is a “No, German” switch.

I browse mostly by All/Everything, and it’s about an 70/20/10 split of non-English communities, sports communities, and anime communities respectively.

The non-English communities are typically on non-English local instances (feddit.org, feddit.nl, jlai.lu, etc), but I don’t want to block those instances entirely because their users will still participate in other communities in English and it’s not their fault that I just don’t speak the language.

The sports communities are just because I don’t typically care for that type of content. There are only a couple of sports I actively follow, and within those sports I don’t need to see communities dedicated to each and every specific team, so I just block to filter the ones I have no interest in.

As for the anime, I actually do love anime, but a lot of them are communities for specific series I’m not into (which, if I’m being frank, are almost all just utter shit-tier waifu bait material), and others are very creepy “X”-moe communities which just make me feel gross when they turn up (and for those, blocking a single user was enough to get rid of 99% of that).

With that in mind, though, since the Switch 2 runs Switch 1 games with better performance (even ones that don’t have paid upgrades), I’d wonder if it might not still be better to finish out the Switch catalog on Switch 2 anyways just so you can have consistent framerates on some games.
