Aren’t coops basically democratic condos? In Sweden we have “bostadsrätt” which are condos governed by a democratic resident association. They’re good for democratic control over housing, but they still require a mortgage and they’re still subject to market speculation. Some of the apartments can be rentals, but that still means you have a landlord, just that your landlord is your neighbors.

Having the city or the state as your landlord seems like it would be more ideal, or at least a balance of coops and public housing.

SteamOS is immutable, you always get the same update no matter what you were running before. I think the only files that can get out of sync are in your home folder.

Counterpoint: RoR1 was a 2d sidescroller

I’m just pointing out the nuance. Broad brush doesn’t help anyone. If you automatically assume everyone from lemmy.ml is a tankie, even though it’s one of the largest instances, and the original Lemmy instance, then you’re doing yourself and all the more moderate users on lemmy.ml a disservice.

I’m very much not minimizing the shittiness of worldnews@lemmy.ml.

Yeah, that’s what I mean, the admins aren’t forcing their ideas on people, it’s just the mods.

??? Explain

Ah ok, fair enough. I’ve only had problems with the world news mods so far, but makes sense that some of the other mods can be bad too.

This only happens on worldnews@lemmy.ml

Mostly militant tankie mods in worldnews@lemmy.ml. The rest of the instance is fine actually; Their admins aren’t as zealous.

Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it’s one of me and my friends’ favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.

The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul’s affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.

I honestly disagree that the Beatles were putting out “filler”. Much of Beatles’ lesser known stuff wasn’t filler, it was just not as popular. There’s some real quality and ingenuity in the vast majority of Beatles songs. There’s definitely some weaker songs that could be polished a bit, but even those songs often were inspirational for the entire industry.

Honestly, name any song and it’s probably well known for something.

Basically how building new houses in suburbia works. Every new house is subsidized by the local government in the hopes that they’ll pay back enough taxes in the next 50 years before the pipes have to be replaced again.

This looks super useful! Would be interesting to see this as a systemd service built into NixOS, so my gaming machine could always have this running without any manual steps.

Yeah I mean, most westerners have never heard of wukong and aren’t really interested in a soulslike game centered on him from a brand new studio. It’s cool that Chinese devs are starting to release games internationally, but this concept was never going to be that popular outside of Asia. The fact that they shot themselves in the foot with their advertising didn’t help.

he’s also the main character in Dragon Ball

The whole point of news aggregators like Lemmy and (originally) reddit is to encourage discussion by collecting news articles/content and organizing it. I think segregating your user base makes that harder.

Unfortunately so. The original goal of downvotes in the reddiquette used to say that downvotes were meant for posts and comments that were uninteresting/spam and didn’t contribute to the discussion, but unfortunately most people use it to shut down viewpoints they don’t agree with.

Pirates were pretty structured and honest actually
