Wait, you're blocking porn, sports, and anime?

Those are the fun parts...

It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

Specifically for me?

  • Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don't have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
  • Talking to my side of the family
  • Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
  • Code-switching to talk to white people.
  • Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
  • Dealing with zoners in fighting games
  • Lingering in silent spaces.
  • Following recipes.

Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let's do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.

Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?

It's less "venture to guess" and more "I'd bet my life savings on that being true."

Shit. I'm here with ADHD.

The RDNA 2 vs Ampere generation featured the 6900 XT vs the 3090 in a really competitive showdown.

The RDNA 3 vs Ada generation sees AMD compete really strongly everywhere except the very very top. The 7900 XTX is cheaper and faster at raster than the 4080 and 4080 Ti in most cases (with worse efficiency and RT), for instance. You can make a competitive argument for either company at each pricing segment except Nvidia below $200 and AMD at the very very top.

That's a farrrr cry from "the 8700 XT competes with the 5070, but past that there's no AMD card"

It's reminiscent of the RDNA 1 vs Turing, where the 6700 XT and 2070 were competitive but AMD had no answer for the 2080, let alone the 2080 Ti, except this time it'll be more obvious since they'll be a 5090 as well.

The issue i think is that it reinforces the belief that Nvidia cards are faster and that AMD cards are cheap/budget,

AMD cards being just as fast (besides RT) with good/better value is one thing, but AMD being slower is a harder misconception to unravel

I think it's hard to formulate a response to this. That man dissected his entire vibe and history and insecurities

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

This? This the shit i was waiting for. Scorched earth, "burn the city down with you in it" typa shit.

Hell yeah.

So many bars to deconstruct and analyze

Hell yeah. Finally some gaming news i care about.

If you listen closely you can hear every Ryu main preparing to drop him like a hit rock. We'll see if Ken and Luke mains persevere

He looks scary enough but I'm curious how he'll end up feeling to fight against as a Marisa main.

They appear to have nailed the vibe/aesthetic though. That new Raging Demon looks excellent.

I was excited for the Krakoa/House of X/Powers of X era of X-Men where they're actually doing well for once instead of living in Hell and fighting to stay alive.

I eventually fell off near Dawn of X or X of Swords because my attention is limited and fickle but i wanna get back to it and finish it.

So if i want to read the whole saga, can you help me with the order of the trades, and what, if anything is vital to enjoying or reading the story and may not be in the collected trades?

I think this sort of unfulfilled promise has been the biggest obstacle of my full scale adoption of a reddit alternatives.

As a non-typical Lemmy user (No interest in privacy, piracy, Linux, FOSS, Web Dev, SW Dev, Veganism, or discussing political theory with strangers online) finding active communities in topics i am interested in (basketball, football, hio hop, martial arts, boxing, mma, PC building, relationships, kink, and the specific humor and nuance that comes with being a Black person on the internet) has been a struggle.

Many of those communities have two people or less posting in them or don't exist at all.

People are talking here but not about things i wanna discuss and that's disappointing so i have a hard time "sticking" if that makes sense

Yeah! I remember reading that Beehaw had defederated from a lot of servers; the people who talk about it genuinely have strong feelings one way or the other. It sounds like a planned housing community or gated community but online, and that generates some very polarizing opinions.

It's also the one I have the least interest in exploring at the moment.

Edit: Tied with Hexbear

Yeah! I heard that MBin was started as a fork of Kbin when it's main/only admin went dark. I made an account there to try it out actually.

I'm now considering making a new Lemmy account since I'm having trouble finding Lemmy communities from Mbin

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Are you talking about Lemmy specifically or one of the others?

Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.
