Thanks, but I hope I won’t have to resort to that. I didn’t even really try yet, when I reached that fight I only tried it twice and then it was already time for me to go anyway. And I’ve been procrastinating it ever since. So I didn’t give myself a chance yet.

Tunic.

I reached a really difficult fight and I kinda just noped out. Will need to give it a proper go sometime soon.

Wherever is reading this, this article is worth looking at. Just trust me.

You wouldn’t turn up the volume when you know the scene is meant to be quiet. Or at least, you wouldn’t turn it up so high you can hear the background noise at the level you want to hear dialogue.

Laptop keyboard layouts. There is no reason they should be so different.

Specifically, those laptops that have full-sized left and right arrows, but half-sized up and down arrows - those earn 1 week of jail time for the CEO per unit sold.

While we’re at it, the power button must be in the same place on all laptops.

This is not as straightforward as you might think. If there’s an actual quiet part it would amplify the background noise.

I can get behind this one.

But how am I supposed to wash my good kitchen knives?

Problem is that some sports are really unfair towards one of the sexes (and it’s not always men who have the advantage). I definitely think it should be mixed for sports where there’s no advantage.

Has faster than light travel (e.g. via wormhole) been utterly and completely disproven by modern physics? Because if not, I’d say we can’t say that for certain.

There are degrees to social-media-ness. News comment sections have a very low amount of this. Lemmy has a lot.

I guess I disagree with “social media is to mainly follow people”. I think social media is for socializing, regardless of who it’s with. Sorry for the double reply.

I don’t know about you but I’m here for the comments sections, i.e. to socialize. That counts as social media IMO. Socializing with random users and not followed accounts, is still socializing.

To clarify why I think Lemmy is not a forum: in my eyes, forums are set up by the admins, only the admins can decide which subforums exist and what’s allowed in them. Lemmy and reddit are not simple forums because they allow any user to create a subforum and make those choices and decisions, that traditionally are reserved for admins. It’s an extremely important difference and makes Lemmy much more of a general social platform and not a focused forum.

I totally disagree on both counts: forums are social media, and Lemmy is not a mere forum. Lemmy is a platform where people can create forums, and many of those forums (communities) exist mainly to socialize.

I’ll give you that some forums (both on Lemmy and otherwise) that have a clear defined topic - such as tech support for a particular thing - are somewhat different from “social media”, but even in those three are often regulars who use the forum to socialize with each other. Any forum with an “off-topic” subforum is social media in my book, in a very real sense (not just technically).

But hey, we can disagree on this and it’s fine.

Lemmy isn’t social media.

What in the heck is it then?

I see. I missed that word in the question, and I didn’t remember that definition anyway.
