    Lemmy.ml is fundamentally a communist community. Leave it and join somewhere like Lemmy.world if you want to be part of a community that doesn’t have a political agenda. This energy you are expanding complaining that a social network isn’t meeting your expectations could be more productively spent just checking which ones do and which ones don’t. You might as well be complaining about all the Star Trek memes on the Star Trek Lemmy instance.

    It is fundamentally a communist instance. The reason people are annoyed at you is that you want a “politics” free experience but rather than make the effort to curate what you expose yourself to you’re just wandering into places and insisting they be what you want.





  • Regan’s administration started the war on drugs. Convicting drugs users of a criminal crime has the effect of taking the right to vote away from people who tended not to vote for the Republican party and allowed them to be legally used as slave labour. At least one member of that administration has explicitly stated that this was a strategic decision to win elections.


  • The reality is that it’s a lot of fuss for a game development company to switch engines but for an experienced individual developer it’s not a huge deal to switch engines. If you learn game development and design today using Unity then 100% of the game design knowledge is exactly transferable and 80-99% of the game development knowledge (depending on exactly what you’re doing) will transfer to Unreal or Godot or whatever else you might need to use later.

    It’s like a musician switching from one audio production suite to another. The musical theory stays the same and while the exact details of how to make each bit of software do stuff is different, the actual stuff you’re making it do is broadly the same.

    Other people’s health is not a zero-sum game. There is an increasing wealth gap wherein the resources and value of humanities labour are being increasingly concentrated in the hands of a tiny minority to the detriment of everyone else.

    It’s like being at a party where just before the food is served some unhinged lunatic runs in and manages to somehow fit all the food for the entire party into their underwear and run off with it.

    People saying “hey, maybe we shouldn’t invite that person to parties anymore” and you reacting like “well, I don’t compare how much food I have with people who have stolen all the food. All that matters is that you’re all just as hungry as I am. You’ll never feel full if you compare yourself to someone who stole all of the food!” is very difficult to respond to in a way that is compatible with the way the Beehaw community works…
