I’'m a big fan of Some More News on YouTube.

I’ve been playing Like a Dragon 8 the past few weeks and am blown away by good it is. I love this series.

A game starring the Mad Dog in Hawaii? Inject it into my veins.

Sysadmin for a living here - Teams breaks constantly in our office. Multiple people report issues with Teams not starting or not functioning properly on a weekly basis.

This is true for Windows 11 as a whole, truthfully. Windows 11 can eat my ass for many reasons.

It’s frustrating to see Buffalo routinely be a competitive team year in and year out and then watch games like this.

I swear it feels like everything goes the Eagles’ way any time I watch them. Hard to overcome shit like this if you’re the Commanders rn.

Saquon is such an unbelievable difference-maker.

I’d love to see an R-rated survival horror Metroid movie.

Nintendo will never let it happen but I can dream.

Cowboys fan here - fuck.

I agree that people are resistant to change. This is a tough problem to overcome… change comes from within.

I also agree that the fediverse doesn’t necessarily need how it works overexplained to a new users. Many car-owners probably don’t even have a basic understanding of how a motor vehicle works and yet in the US it’s hard to imagine living without one. What matter is that it’s intuitive to use and isn’t too complicated to learn.

I think if I can take a stab at tying both of these points together regarding growing the fediverse it’s that continued development of the fediverse applications are essential. Give people an intuitive product that works and the masses will want to come use it. Give people products that are easy to learn and function properly. And of course the beauty of open source projects are that anyone and everyone with programming know-how can help with this. Lemmy has gotten way better since I first joined but of course there’s still room for improvement.

Tech literacy is definitely a problem. I see laziness from from fellow sysadmins on making the switch to Lemmy because “it’s too confusing”. I’ve seen some decent graphics people have made attempting to simplify how this all works - I bet having one handy when convincing a friend to join would be helpful.

On a similar note - patience and understanding will be big. If a newbie makes an honest question and they get met with “RTFM” or anything similar then I think it risks a bad first impression of the community which could turn away someone that could’ve been a long time user. My philosophy will be to address any question, big or small, with respect. We should be happy someone is interested in learning more!

Carroll will give this program some much needed stability. Idk if they’re going to win any SBs with him but he’ll make them vastly more competitive than what they have been recently.

He’ll definitely lose some sleep over this game but no loss is ever on one person. I think he’s got some gas left in the tank but Likely has been pretty solid so he might be playing for someone else next year.

Aldi’s brand of bagels is better than Thomas for me and are about half the price. There’s something that tastes oddly “sugary” about Thomas bagels in comparison.
