Images are a lot lower resolution (and no “live” photos which are cute if your mom takes a pic of their pet bunny), you can’t add people to group chats or rename them, you can’t see if someone’s read or typed your message, you can’t “like” texts without them appearing like the above post, I think there are even sound bites, little games but I haven’t played with them.

Plus basically every other piece of audio equipment has a headphone jack, and there’s no reason they should start being manufactured with USB-C ports with all the added complexity, when all they need to do is send audio.

Isn’t Hydrogen only like 50% efficient?

No need to give them crap for checking on Reddit, not every community has moved here yet, and it’s not that bad to use both.

I wish I could not work in an office

There’s a big difference between “die” like Facebook where less people are joining and using it, but it still functions as a “keep in touch with your family” site, and “die” like Digg whose community doesn’t exist at all, almost as if it got bought out by another company for the brand name only.

Wouldn’t that be a bit complex to learn/hard to spend just 30 minutes a day playing? I haven’t played, but from what I can tell it’s basically rocket science the game.

Yes, it's true. Source: have slept on the couch once.

Who needs an article when you have a headline and expert commentary in the comments?

I thought NASA only paid SpaceX to fund NASA’s launches, not SpaceX’s launches. And still a lot cheaper than NASA’s own programs.

The Ohio State University’s logo sure does look different from what I remember.

Why would you need an article when you have a headline and expert commentary in the comments?

Very exciting! I almost don't want to read the next planet FFFs because I don't want to be spoiled (though it sounds like an ice planet is probably in there somewhere).

Yes, reading Lemmy you’d think Linux has a 90% market share.

They look like his ears to me.

How many earthquakes has Morocco had by now? Seems like every day they have a new earthquake that pops up on here, each one with more people dead than the last.

They also said they were basing planets on temperature spectrums, so there’s got to be at least one cold one. But I’m sure they’ll make it unique — now that I think of it, it doesn’t have to have ice to be cold (though there will probably be a few deposits for all the recipes that use water).

It would be a cool mechanic if you had to mine ice with a mining drill, then heat it up before using it in water-based recipes. Maybe it could be done with a smelter, at the very least as an excuse to give it a fluid pipe graphic for modded recipes too. Would also be cool if you had to keep pipes heated or they’d burst — there aren’t many “maintenance” or “breakdown” mechanics like that, but it could risk being annoying especially if you’re on another planet.

Where’s this image originally from?

Bud light. It’s basically alcoholic water.

Maybe truly hard seltzer since it tastes better.

Aren’t they the same thing?

I’m still rocking the Windows 10 education license I got for “free” through college, but once Microsoft deprecates it I’ll consider switching to Linux. I have a Nvida card I got a long time ago, and I’d prefer to keep using it if possible. I haven’t looked into upgrading yet but when I do I’ve got to shell out no matter what brand I pick.

None of Atari’s recent Rollercoaster Tycoon games have been anywhere near even mediocre, let alone good. I can’t say I’m disappointed because it’s par for the course at this point.

Was this not obvious? I don’t think I’ve seen a single comment here supporting them.

.com is a file format?

That’s a fair point, I’m not super familiar with how the Linux dev cycle works beyond “I download Mint or Ubuntu because I don’t feel like shelling out for Windows 10”.

Think they’ll bother fixing the bug with the loop-de-loop by then?

They never seem to be talked about in the context of Legend of Zelda games (in fact, seems like most handheld Zeldas get skipped), but they’re probably talked a lot about in the context of gameboy games.

With how many atrocities occur in this messed up world (and the Middle East especially), it’s hard to keep caring and see it as anything other than a sport in a faraway place.

I use Chrome! It’s nice how it syncs with my Google profile.

If I need 2 browsers for some reason, I also use Edge.

How come 70% of Lemmy posts are about Linux then? If 70% of the world really uses Windows, surely there’d be more Windows Lemmy memes.

Because we don’t care about open source drama, we want an operating system that just works™ with our existing graphics cards and doesn’t get in the way of gaming.

Or it could end up being less bad than we expect.

Dramatic much? Maybe the people they follow haven’t moved to Mastadon.
