It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it's gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.

I wouldn't call Zaragoza summer survivable for people used to colder climates.

Which also makes Musk more dangerous, because he is also a sleazy sales guy, involved in politics, zero empathy, willing to do anything, tiny fragile ego, but also a measure smarter.

Honestly, joining a community just for the type of content they have or what they filter is useless. Best approach for me is to have access to everything and then filter what you don't like by yourself.

Hasn't been updated for a while unfortunately.

I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I'm on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.

My mistake then. It flew completely over my head.

I specifically remember looking up tables of who defederates from who and what instances allow NSFW or downvoting because this was an issue among some of the top instances back then.

I ended up making 4 different accounts over 2 months until I landed on a server I'm happy with. That will never be acceptable to any normal user.

Every time someone brings up these issues, people here downplay them like you are doing it right now and nothing is ever done about it.

What even is this? There's no such thing as meeting KPIs in any agile framework.

And Scrum does allow for long meeting in case of extreme situations but any self respecting team will not take more than 10% of their total time out of a sprint for this.

I moved on to Boost. It's sad but Sync was already too broken.

Many people do not live up to this level of maturity that you seem to expect of them. And many others can't beat the dopamine and quick gratification that tiktok provides. As such, tiktok attracts people of all ages and associating it with kids is, and has been for a while, an outdated view, only held by people who don't actually engage with the platform.

Outdated views and disconnection from present reality is represented by the old man screaming at clouds meme.

 

Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It's true they've always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I was a kid and I had all the time in the world.

These days I'm not a kid anymore and so when I game I tend to look more for memorable experiences instead of mindless grinding. Obviously I remember Valve as the experts in creating memorable experiences and I would like them to keep fully exploring those talents. They don't have that many employees, but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it's just their developers and artists and a vision. But then they use all that and create this. An Overwatch looking moba shooter, really? I'm sure people will like and play it, but is this the results of the vision and ambition of a company like Valve?

It doesn't have to be Half-Life. I remember them saying that they dont want to do another one in the series because they are looking to innovate and make something truly original. My body is ready, give me anything. I can't imagine a moba shooter really fits with this description. I'm wondering how such a low hanging concept even becomes a real product at a company as ambitious as Valve.

I hear people are having fun with the new game and I'm happy for them. I am no longer the target audience and I wish them good luck with it. In the mean time let me hear your thoughts on it. Would you like to see another single player experience from Valve?

 

No worry about quality when you only get one topic to enjoy for the day.

 

I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
