If they’re getting inundated with it to the point it’s affecting their actual mental health, then they obviously need to change something. Whether it’s the quantity or the quality of the content they consume. Logging off and going outside is always an option.

Is that supposed to be some grand statement? Yeah, I enjoy occasionally posting on stuff like this - never said otherwise.

If someone is engaging in a certain kind of content, I would argue that’s the content they want to see. It might not be what they enjoy seeing, or what’s good for them, but you can’t seek out right wing content and then tell me you don’t want to see right wing content. At some point, there has to be a level of personal liability here.

I mean, it’s not like social media doomerism is some mandatory thing. The internet shows us what we want to see - if someone wants to spend their whole life reading about every possible bad thing in the world, that’s on them.

As with most doomer posts, 2/3 of that is just a problem of being addicted to social media - not necessarily a problem with the era itself.

Traditionally, no. Under this new umbrella term, anything can count if you squint your eyes right.

Sorry to go on a well-trodden tangent, but it really is unfortunate how diluted the term “roguelike” has become.

Yep. Alberta is currently breaking up Alberta Health Services in a clear “Divide & Conquer” attempt.

I’m lucky to not have many meetings in my current dev job, but I get the same effect from having a dozen people a day asking for “quick” fixes for various bugs that are conveniently always more urgent than whatever big task I’m in the middle of.

Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.

I run JF in a docker container, and although I don’t have backups of my config files yet (because I don’t really care about setting up from scratch if need be), it would be trivial to simply backup the mounted config volumes. Makes upgrading safe and easy, too.

That’s probably how I would recommend going about this, personally.

Can you explain the “estate” thing like I’m a 5 year old non-American? (Only one of those is actually true, but I won’t say which one)

How is them making more money selling bogus ads “worse results” for them, though?

Woah what the heck?! I had no idea there was another content update coming for Noita!

Time to turn my hair grey as I get merced in the Snowy Depths for the 286th time again!

Yeah, anyone calling the creator of the 40-hour work week “Satan” is obviously ignorant of the history of labour.

As you said, we can definitely do better, but at the time it was (quite literally) revolutionary.
