I’d heard the story was kind of a letdown (I don’t have hardware I can play 3 on, so I haven’t gotten to it yet) so I’m really just hoping the story gets the focus and effort it needs; 1 & 2 had really excellent writing and story design and it feels like a huge loss for the series if they can’t find that again

God damn, that looks awesome!

To me I think if I set aside the square slices, it looks like tasty pizza; I think I’ve just only ever had square pizza that kinda sucked

(I know there are kinds of square pizza that are delicious, I just associate it with shitty school lunch pizza from when I was a kid)

I tried when I set up my new laptop and definitely learned a ton, but eventually stalled at getting network manager setup so I could use GNOME settings to configure networks, and getting sound set up

I completely forgot about trying it in a VM, I may have to go give that a try!

If it had package kit implementation so I could use a graphical package manager/app store it’d basically be my perfect distro if I could get it set up the way I want. An independent distro, super elegant, if I understand right the packages are all vanilla, “stable rolling release”. I really like it, a minimal distro is just a bit beyond me skill-wise, and I’d miss having a way to browse native (non-flatpak) applications graphically

Ah, gotcha. Thank you!

Probably I should go learn who my admin actually is 😅

Frankly I’d much rather have void. Super cool distro, a lot of things about it seem like an ideal fit for me, I just don’t really have the technical skill to get a minimal distro all set up the way I want it

Plus their logo is pretty. Which shouldn’t matter but like, look at it- it’s a cool logo!

I don’t have anything useful to contribute, but I’m wishing you luck and I hope you’re able to get the things you’re looking for out of it :)

Oh neat! Is there any way to check if my instance has opted into this?

Language is versatile, as long as people understand which you mean, feel free to use it in whatever way works for you 🤷‍♂️

I think it’s both. I can avoid having to engage with cruel or shitty perspectives as often, but I also don’t love spending so much social time in an echo chamber, it’s not great for you.

I think echo chambers are really bad for a culture and for people immersed in them, but like not seeing Nazi shit is certainly nice

Its giving me this vibe

ಠ_ಠ wtf

As cool as federation is, I think in the case of a single source of information seeking to be as reputable and neutral as possible, it kinda just seems like federation and allowing bunches of different versions of the same articles would undermine the project’s ability to organize effectively and present itself in a useful way to the public…

I do like the idea of multiple separate community wikis existing with their own different culture, but I expect it’d be difficult for multiple to really exist at scale simultaneously, just cause there isn’t that big a pool of people dedicated to editing community articles and splitting them seems like a challenge. But the Wikipedia article on bias on Wikipedia suggests that articles with more contributors of differing viewpoints reduce the bias, so like there’s also an argument to be made for more conservative folks just contributing to Wikipedia

And unfortunately in the case of infogalactic specifically, I think explicitly stating that you aim your resource to align with certain ideology, or avoid a specific bias on one of the spectrum means I’ll never really see it as a reputable source. They went in the the intention of creating something with a bias or ideological slant; I respect Wikipedia because of how hard they work to minimize bias, even though it’s ultimately impossible to remove

Theodore Robert Beale (born August 21, 1968), commonly known as Vox Day, is an American activist and writer. He has been described as a far-right white supremacist,[2][3] a misogynist,[4] and part of the alt-right.[5][6][7] The Wall Street Journal described him as “the most despised man in science fiction”.[8]

Infogalactic:
In 2017, Beale launched Infogalactic, an English-language wiki encyclopedia.[30] The site was a fork of the contents of English Wikipedia which could be gradually edited to remove the influence of what Beale described as “the left-wing thought police who administer [Wikipedia]”.[6][31] It has been described by Wired and The Washington Post as a version of Wikipedia targeted to alt-right readers.[6][32]

Uhhhh, not sure this is the kind of resource I’m looking for 😅 though it might sometimes be helpful to cross reference to compare things. But my impression from online discussion is that infogalactic is generally much less updated than Wikipedia, which makes sense, it feels kinda hard for another similar platform to compete, especially given the volunteer nature of things and infogalactics more specific political bent that will limit its appeal

Thouh this isn’t the fist time I’ve come across suggesions that Wikipedia has bias issues; perhaps that’d be a good thing for me to look into at some point as well, and see if it feels like there’s substance behind that claim

Edit: entirely expectdly there’s a Wikipedia page about it that actually seems pretty helpful. I’ve not read much yet and I’ll need to take a look at other sources, but I figured I’d share for others :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_bias_on_Wikipedia?wprov=sfla1

I didn’t actually know that. I’m happy to donate anyway when I’m able to, but thank you for making me a little more informed!

I found this article on the subject that did a really good job of exploring the nuances of Wikipedia’s funding, community critisims, and whether it’s much different from other non-profits. Highly reccomend for anyone else interested in the subject
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/12/02/wikipedia-has-a-ton-of-money-so-why-is-it-begging-you-to-donate-yours/

What I learned is that Wikipedia is not financially in dire straights, as sometimes might be inferred from their donation requests, that their funding approach is very similar to other comparable non-profits, but that because of their nature people have very different expectations of them, which one might reasonably see as either reasonable or unreasonable depending on perspective. I think I fall somewhere in the middle

Man, art and media can have such a powerful impact on people

Fuck yeah!

Man, Wikipedia is fucking cool.

Thank you for linking! (And if anyone else finds this list super useful, maybe think about donating; Wikipedia is massive and run exclusively off donations :)

Huh.

I can see the post from my .world account
