Hmm I used to be proud of being Canadian. These days it's getting harder and harder.

Hopefully they're Family to help with the victim queues, my friends pretty much stopped playing victim because it takes so long to find a match.

Whew, I heard from a friend it was going that way. The Devs say in the article that they just meant it would recieve occasional content updates like they did with with the first game in their early access model.

They confirmed that it will not have any subscriptions, or battle passes or anything which is great. They also mention that while coop will be possible, it won't be required to play the game, and you can still experience everything single player.

Glad to hear they haven't joined the dark side yet!

I'm glad he's back to making regular videos, I find them very relaxing and a bit educational (just make sure to turn on captions, he puts all the explanations there).

I personally think we are going to need to move to a hybrid capitalist situation before we can hope to move past it. It will be very hard for countries to make a switch away, as it will prevent them from really existing in the global market, or force the governments to hold all the cash so they can still partake.

I think the direction some places are taking with basic or universal income is one of the most promising steps away I've heard about recently. It allows for a sort of sudo communism within the bounds of a capitalist society by ensuring all have the same basic access to resources. Obviously there are plenty of caveats with the implementations so far, such as who gets it, how much is it, can it cover basic living, etc. But I think it represents what I'm getting at.

If we can continue to implement meaningful social programs such as free and accessible healthcare, basic incomes, shortened work weeks, minimum wages, etc, etc it is continued progress towards a world where money becomes increasingly meaningless as everyone has what they need and only need to work for the extras.

Just my two cents from someone with absolutely no background in the relevant fields :)

As someone on the edge of making the change myself, I have been enjoying these posts because I have been getting to learn some of the different distros and there pros and cons. Lemmy isn't insanely active right now, so you get a different group of perspectives with each iteration of the question.

Maybe once lemmy gets bigger we can break off these sorts of questions into their own catalog but for now I think they are doing more good than harm here.

Just my two cents tho, obviously you have the right to disagree :)

I can't wait until we can either get these guys back, or eventually have a manned mission where they can be recovered and stored.They represent such a large achievement for humanity as a whole and symbolizes our desire to advance and learn.

I thought Stardew Valley was a one man show, but this isn't by ConcernedApe, did he end up hiring staff?

I totally feel you on the self deprication survival instinct. I also struggled with my weight all through school, and being the first one to call myself fat helped deter others since I already made the joke.

Turns out calling yourself fat all the time isn't much better than others doing it though, as I now have quite the complex about eating, exercise, body image, etc.

I've had the same brother laser printer since uni (shit thats like 10 years ago now) and it's never let me down. The only issue is it stops responding over the network sometimes when I Havnt used it in months.

That was quite the read but pretty worth it. He talks about a lot of the mistakes he made not just in relation to his crime, but as a developer, project leader, and general human being.

He discusses what things he would have done differently, and how he thinks that could have changed things not only for him but his software as well.

He mentions multiple times how much he wishes that the conflict handling and social classes he has access to in prison, were available to him in school. He ends the letter with a call to action, for just that asking people to try and affect legislation to get more youth access to this information to avoid cases such as his.
