Honestly from the point where

…he lost all my sympathy. I was increasingly curious about how things were going to go wrong for him. More fascinating train wreck, less investment in him personally.

Fun Fact - it does not need to be real to be funny and motivate updoots.

Prosperous universe might fit the bill depending on how deep into economy sim you want to go. Beware that you have some limitations as a completely free player, that are removed (last I checked) after you’ve made at least one purchase. So think of playing “free” as an infinite demo.

I feel this so much in my 90s hatchback :'(

The SUV plague is a european phenomenon too.

Here’s a few reasons:

• Not funny

• Not nuanced

• Bad art

• Comes off as smug/condescending (author)

• Makes fun of/disparages broad groups of people

• Assigns positions that people don’t agree with to labels they identify with.

Etc. Etc.

There’s also umu!

It essentially (if I’ve understood things correctly) aims to replicate the behaviour of proton.

Works like a charm, I have a simple alias set up that will run almost any .exe - even installers and stuff. Only thing that hasn’t worked so far was my digital exam software (that is essentially a windows rootkit) because it couldn’t find the cursor images lol.

Planetary Annihilation, Warcraft 3 (at least pre-reforged if you can get a hold of an old copy), Unreal Tournament, Killing Floor, Battle for Middle Earth (1 & 2), OpenTTD, Simutrans, Settlers: Heritage of Kings, some of the older Wolfenstien games, Battle for Wesnoth, Warzone 2100, Teeworlds, Widelands

Not exactly.

There is very much a symbiotic relationship between the company and the community, even if the latter is more an oblique blob of FOSS projects.

You can get a smidge of insight by having a looksie here:

I think a primary necessity for communal ownership is social accountability. The point at which it breaks down is when neglecting the common item becomes “someone elses problem” due to the group being sufficiently large.

I unironically have several folks around who’ve moved over to OpenSUSE after me.

Criminally underrated, now if only they could get the board in order…

Please do stay!

Yeah, a lot of the fediverse has an extreme left slant, and that’s coming from someone living in a rather left-leaning country.

As someone who jumped the reddit ship during the blackout protest and has been here ever since, mostly out of principle, it has slowly been getting better as more people filter in.

I’m not, but German grid mismanagement is a major contributor to the crisis in our country.

Y’all seriously need to stabilize your grid so that it can handle a bit of unpredictable weather without causing electricity price spikes across the entire European electricity market.

Happens more often than you may realize. Someone being “correct” on a topic in an objective sense is good, but that doesn’t necessarily outweigh their flaws. Also worth keeping in mind that “left” or “right” ideology can mean very different things in different parts of the world.

An easy example from my own country - our left wing worked hard to shut down functioning nuclear power plants with plenty of time left to run whilst the right wanted to preserve them. Left largely got their way on the issue, and now we’re in an electricity crisis due to a lack of dispatchable capacity.

Think for yourself, consider ideas & statements based on their own merits rather than judging them by who is embracing them at the current moment. A century ago it was the Democratic party pushing jim crow laws in the US and the RNC were championing civil rights.

Yup, fact is a majority of people in thd US agree on many of the most important issue, yet the governing structure seeks to “otherize” people from each other as much as possible in order to prevent meaningful discourse and foster division.

Sometimes our emotional batteries run low and we feel like mouthing off (like this guy is doing) instead of being sympathetic. Most people don’t, but we can have a bit of a laugh relating to feeling like depicted in the comic. This helps us let out some of our negative emotions without anybody having to put up with them which in turn allows helps us to keep being emotionally supportive to those we care about.

Male/Female are also nouns, which are biological terms.

This is a genuine effect well known in commerce - people are more likely to enter when there are already customers.

Whilst I agree that some mods may be overzealous and that the fediverse has a serious slant, you also seem to have behaved very uncivilly.

In any case, unlike reddit, there are many options. When lemmy.ml/c/world bans me for criticizing genocides comitted by the USSR & CCP I can still post to lemmy.world/c/world or even create my own community for world news elsewhere.
