Four planets?

Why would I care enough to try and discredit you on any grounds than you’ve written here? I don’t know you, I don’t care about you other than what I’ve read in this thread where you come across as arrogant and the aggressor. Not quite the innocent party you’re trying to project.

Don’t worry about replying, I’m going to use Lemmy’s block user system. Not used it before, but I think it’s the best way to deal with someone I have a disagreement with and don’t want to talk with any further, rather than wasting others time with vexatious development requests.

EDIT: I’m gonna open an issue so Lemmy lets OPs edit and delete comments on their posts. The amount of argument on here is too bad for a standard centralized moderation model.

Not only do you insult a game that many people have a huge amount of love for, for the weakest reason possible - then you get all salty because people disagree with you.

And THEN, you complain to the developers that you should be able to delete other people’s content that you disagree with?

Seriously, get some perspective and stop being a douche. Please.

but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0

I totally missed that this was a thing. Saw this and then bought the DLC yesterday at 7pm, figuring I’d get a couple of hours in before going to bed. (I get up early)

Yeah, rigt. 4am this morning and I was still playing. .

You’re making the mistake in that his intention is to improve things.

He doesn’t have to make things better, he just has to say he has made them better. That’s all he’s ever done and it’s worked.

Factorio is amazing.

Well, this aged quickly.

It’s fine, but not going to be the cheapest.

Cheap to buy: Any old PC desktop, really. Most will run linux and windows fine, depending on what you want. Anywhere from free to £100. If you have an old desktop or laptop already, use that to start with.

Cheap to run: Any mini PC. I run a Lenovo ThinkCentre M53 for low power duties. Cost £40 and runs silently at 10watts, idle. (I have a secondary, much beefier server for other stuff that runs at around 100w which lives in the garage)

But plenty of people do run mac minis as home servers, often on Linux. They’re fine - just do your homework on the CPU ability, how much ram you can add, and whether you’re okay with external disks if you can’t fit enough inside.

The bar chart might be more useful if they weighted the source with its number of users. Facebook isn’t 7 times more hateful than Telegram. It has around 3.5 times as many users - but also the two are used very differently. I use Telegram, but only as a free messaging platform for automated alerts.

Then there’s the algorithms, which tend to feed you what you engage with and from those connections you’ve made on it. The exception recently is X which has a very strong political bias and has turned into something that pushes hate very strongly.

Alternatvely: Eww, Earth, you’re infested. Look at all those little things crawling all over you!

Nice ditty.

What reason do you suggest why “his or her” would be preferable to “their” in this context?

Regional dialect, fluidity of language, variety - even habit.

“It’s grammatically incorrect” argument doesn’t hold much water

Oh, I do respectfully disagree with that, especially when you cite medieval English but reference an American language dictionary as your source.

I could just as viably give “his or hers” as equally valid as “theirs”, because it is. We’re not newspaper headline writers, nobody penalises us if we use a few more characters for any reason. And you could switch back and forth between them both for variety.

The best English literature doesn’t follow the basis of most convenient or shortest. Sometimes there are other reasons to choose a word of phrase.

The plot of Romeo and Juliet could be rewritten in a paragraph but probably wouldn’t have had the same impact.

As you say, lots of spicy food options. Our National Dish is actually a curry - chicken masala and Phall, the hottest curry, was invented in Birmingham.

Also - in the picture are baked beans. They’re invented in the USA. We adopted them, but they’re not ours.

What’s really insane is that sometimes the second identical test actually works.

It even has the approval of my wife.

He is the chosen one! Hail him!

Feels like another hate-pushing cesspit to avoid.

The point people are making is that communication and discipline, both things that require time and skill, would be a better, less invasive approach.

Perhaps that’s being done as well?

But even if it is, that approach doesn’t work with all people, no matter how skillful or how much time is put into it.

True - although just because you are paranoid, that doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you…

And hopefully will continue to be asked, because one day it may not be poor OPSEC.
