Deadlock matchmaking is now open 24/7—plus there's a new, snazzier minimap and a low priority queue for sinners
  • I was interested until I heard that it's a shooter/moba.

    when will studios figure out that moba (like battle royale) is a mode not a genre? Congratulations, you made a shooter with only one mode and probably less than 10 maps.

    Remember when unreal tournament shipped with literally hundreds of maps on disk back in 1999? Peperage Farm remembers.

  • It took 50,000 gallons of water to put out Tesla Semi fire in California, US agency says
  • honestly, i don't expect an answer. New battery tech gets announced every year, claiming to revilutionize energy storage. None have made it to market in any meaningful way, if at all. Lithium batteries hit the sweet spot of price to performance, and nothing else can compete. Looking forward to the day that changes.

  • How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?
  • It's current year, I should never have to touch the terminal for anything. I don't care that it's powerful, my brain is already full of windows knowledge and I don't want to have to google what command I need to perform basic functions. Everything needs guis. If there's a gui, I can figure it out and also discover tools I didn't know about along the way, which allows me to solve future problems without going insane.

    That's popular sentiment though, so how about one that I don't see often: Add options to allow windows like behavior. For example, middle click paste is the bane of my existence. I should be able to change it to middle click scroll os wide, not just in firefox. I know that there's a hacky workaround to kinda make it work, but it sucks.

  • ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
  • it's unhinged because of the implication of violence against a specific group of people identified by their political beliefs. And wouldn't you know it, it's that same group of people who are opposing all of the solutions I proposed in my previous comment.

  • ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
  • My opinions about guns have changed over the years. I used to be of the opinion that nobody should have guns in this day and age, what's the point aside from ego boosting and sport.

    Then a cheeto puff did a treason on jan6.

    I'll give up my guns only after the fascists give up theirs. Non negotiable.

    You want to "prevent tragedies"? fund programs for welfare and healthcare. Tax the rich. Break up megacorps like google, albertsons, nestle. Enact and enforce employee protections. Raise the minimum wage. Ban airbnb and heavily tax empty residences. Universal basic income! Did I mention fixing the healthcare system? More that I'm forgetting to list.

    Miserable parents make miserable kids, and miserable kids lash out. For the wealthiest and most powerful nation on the planet, this shouldn't be hard to figure out.

  • What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls?
  • the tech side of .ml is why I haven't blocked that instance. They genuinely care about privacy and FOSS, as is the instance description. When I joined lemmy, I considered .ml for my home instance.

    As soon as politics comes up though, the tankies come out in force, and oh boy the temptation to get banned is real.
