Cool, please tell us more how you refused to save people based on their income.

Great list, I second every one of these!

Hey - I've been wanting to learn about music production myself. Got as far as installing LMMS and looking for VST plugins. Would love some beginner tips if you have any to share!

I have always been partial to the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. The intro chant from the 1995 movie has a more ethnic vibe as well, which is quite cool and a nice change of pace from the usual techno. The SAC series soundtrack is quite nice and varied also.

Of course, CP2077 has some real bangers.. I'd probably want a mix of music to suit the setting.

but ours has the much cooler @dataterm.digital ending :)

That's what I assumed, just nice to clarify. It's a brave new world out there :)

Are we likely to find ourselves unfederated away from anything in particular?

I think this is the largest uncertainty with the federation in general. You don't want to end up on a locked out instance, or an instance that does not federate the content you want. As Ramses posted, Beehaw already defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. It's not a problem this community can solve on its own however.

Perhaps a disclaimer would be sufficient, even if it is just "we will defederate communities that do XYZ".

Have to say this community seems to be very even-keeled and mature. Cyberpunk theme is a bonus :) Happy to be here and hopefully make a digital home for myself!

Well, that was fast.

Holy shit, this looks awesome! Maybe I can scratch that TA itch - thanks!

It's buggy, but I'm managing. Weird things like having to press the "Subscribe" button twice. I'm assuming most will be solved when traffic stabilizes.

The federation is.. strange. Confusing when I click a link to another instance when trying to subscribe to a community, but also kinda cool how it works. I'm not sure federation should really be a concern for users, but time will tell. I'm sure it will only improve.

I promote collective mutual determination as an egalitarian system by which society can organize.

In practice, direct democracy? Or, how would that work - how would we organize society? Positions would still need to be held, no? Roles appointed, decisions made, lines drawn. No one can be up-to-date on all matters in their local nor global environment. And certainly not at the same point in time. How would anything work with any cohesiveness?

Sorry to be so dismissive, I'm actually kinda curious on your thoughts. Only ways I see are AI governance or a hive mind. Not sure about either tbh.

I'm in the same boat as others I see. Never could get into The Witcher 3 and Stellaris - even though I love RPGs and 4Xs. Also Valheim actually.

But a couple of games that I "got over the hump" so to speak is Caves of Qud and Noita. Both roguelikes, but very different. I guess I was thrown off by having to actually explore most stuff by myself - as opposed to having the game explaining everything for you.
