Same thing with weight loss, just consume less calories than you spend.

Our ability to utilize the available matter and energy is a different issue. It’s just a matter of technological advancement to convert the pile of dirt into something useful to us and capitalism is very good at technological advancement.

Our ability to utilize the available matter and energy is a different issue. It’s just a matter of technological advancement to utilize the extra heat to convert it to something useful to us and capitalism is very good at technological advancement.

It literally doesn’t

How do I do that?

The matter and energy on Earth never disappears, it’s just converted from one type to another. So yes, if you look at it from a cosmic perspective, we do have unlimited resources.

At least, until the Sun dies, which gives us a few billion years.

Mostly agree, but there are some aspects of D1 that’s were gone from D2. I loved the permanent effect shrines in D1. I loved the more tactical gameplay with fewer enemies which are tougher, so positioning and kiting is much more important. I loved the more hardcore feeling of it, limited town portal capabilities so you really had to plan your dungeon trips. D2 just made all of that trivial.

I do love D2 and D2R, but for a lot of different reasons, like more loot, more build variety, more action, etc.

Not OP, but I have recently played it and I agree with all of OP’s points

TIL if you’re against pointless wars you’re a “right wing loser”. I thought liberals were for peace.

Agree with fast travel, but XP? That’s a staple of RPGs

The number of short IPv6 addresses is smaller than the number of IPv4 addresses, so that’s defeating the entire purpose of IPv6. Sooner or later you have to start using the long addresses.

And can be identified/tracked individually by outside entities. In IPv4, a website sees both my device and my kid’s device as the same IP. In IPv6 they’re different so this just provides more ways for them to track you.

I don’t need a social network in a village, I’ll just step out of my house and yell.

I never buy any appliances with WiFi or any IoT shit, I draw a hard line there. That shit is cancer.

I mean that Microsoft and Gmail took over the email protocol and right now if you stand up your own email server with a new domain/IP you basically have zero chance to get your mail delivered anywhere. They’ve positioned themselves as “higher” authority because of the sheer number of users they control and can now control the entire email system.

Same thing could happen with instances if we elevate lemme.world or any other instance to be “more legitimate” so their user votes count higher.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I definitely agree accounts created for the sole purpose of upvoting stuff/bot farms are bad. I just don’t know if there’s an effective way to fight it as they’re getting pretty elaborate these days and it’s hard to distinguish them from real accounts.

Pretty soon we’ll be at the point where no one will trust anything on the Internet.

That defeats the purpose of decentralization and creates a dangerous precedent. The entire point of Lemmy is that every instance is equally valid and legitimate. If certain instances are elevated above others, we’re on our way to do what Gmail and Microsoft did to email.

Touche. Not dictating anything, just pointing out the obvious that when you sign up at an instance, the admin still has full control.

Which is why we shouldn’t get instances grow too large as then we have the same issue as any centralized platform.

Why am I being a dick, I was genuinely curious. What do you mean “vote manipulation”? Like making a post with one account and creating another one to upvote the post?

But that’s kinda the point of all posts. You post because you want people to see something and you want your post to be popular so it can be seen by the largest amount of people.
