Almost all these smart devices are useless. Just give me a fucking toaster or microwave that doesn’t die in six months, there is no world on which being able to connect my microwave or dishwasher to the internet is relevant or helpful to anyone but the data miners.

To heck with you for your stupid opinion, everyone is obviously always positive here

Subs=subscriptions.

Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking “yep this is going to be a hit” and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever

Glad another Marxist said it. The problem isn’t that capitalism was always the wrong choice, it’s that we’re clinging to it long beyond its best before date.

I’m sure they will absolutely abide by the judge’s ruling and this is the last we’ll hear of it.

New Comments is also good.

I’m puzzled what’s surprising about this.

I’m not LGBT, or American, but seeing people online suddenly talk openly with a great deal more vitriol and hatred about my friends, and even my child, caused me a fair bit of stress.

Hard agree, a well moderated interview can be interesting regardless of who the interview is. We all lead our own complex lives.

Build trust by having AMAs of interesting non-celebrity people.

Jokes on them, we can’t sort by upvotes and downvotes in most cases anyway

Compared to account growth that’s low but a 33% growth in four days is hard to call “low”

Thanks, amusingly someone just posted an unrelated thread about it on the BT community so I got the one-two hit. I’ll see what I can find tonight

I don’t recall which one, I think atow? It’s been a while. In general though, I have a feeling anything officially battletech is going to lean way too far into crunch, but I’d be happy to be wrong.

I haven’t looked at S&V, but BT has a much more hard sci-fi feel than SW… I’m assumed it wouldn’t be a great fit. How much does scum and villainy lean on the “space fantasy” angle?

I’d love to find out that that’s the real Margot Robbie hiding in plain sight.

I don’t think they’d bring anyone from outside Lemmy.

There’s no way to prevent it entirely. A larger community will slide that way.

I do think that it can be less encouraged though.

Thanks, regardless of whether this works for BT it looks like a fun game to check out.

I don’t really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I’d go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.

If I didn’t have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I’d either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we’d never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.

We all know the real reason is that they know about the revenge of the orcas and they’re trying to escape before it’s too late.
