But is it filled with the people that many want to follow and interact with? Twitter was popular for this reason, and people will tolerate being advertised to and sold on if it recreates that experience.
I had brief conversations on Twitter with Ice-T and John Carmack. Twitter’s nature enabled that remarkable connection. Could it happen on Mastodon? Absolutely, but those celebrities and geniuses need to embrace it. If it’s Bluesky, it’s better than X if only for a time.

Probably should have changed the subject or said goodbye. Arguing with conservatives is exhausting and usually in bad faith. It’s about winning, not exploring a topic together.

This is how Russia is today. No one knows what the truth is, so they accept whatever they want and ignore the rest.

People go where they think the people are. X is still the closest thing to Twitter since Elon came along. I deleted my account, but feel like I’m in the minority.

I don’t want Harris, but she is a significant step up from Biden in terms of age and representing the people of the USA. Also, I’d vote for a flaming dumpster floating down river over Trump so Harris is just a bonus.
All things possible? I want Whitmer/Bootyjudge.

I was supportive of Biden until that debate. It was devastating to watch, and made me sad for our country. I don’t know if Biden should stay or go, but he should definitely stay out of any future debates if not the spotlight until the election is over. Americans have extremely short memories.

“Imagine people paying for Windows.” You had me up to the point that you explained why Microsoft might want to get rid of local accounts. You’re doing the thing that gives executives the idea of forcing online connectivity.

I think this person means non partisan, because Metal Gear Solid is filled with political intrigue.
Over the years, there've been various red flags in gaming, for me at least. Multi-media. Full-Motion Video. Day-One DLC. Microtransactions. The latest one is Live Service Game. I find the idea repulsive because it immediately tells me this is an online-required affair, even if it doesn't warrant it. There's no reason for some games to require an internet connection when the vast majority of activities they provide can be done in a single-player fashion. So I suspect Live Service Game to be less of a commitment to truly providing updated worthwhile content and more about DRM. Instead of imposing Denuvo or some other loathed 3rd party layer on your software, why not just require internet regardless of whether it brings value to customer? What do you think about Live Service Games? Do you prefer them to traditional games that ship finished, with potential expansions and DLC to follow later?

I want to switch back to a traditional 16:9 and looking for opinions on the best 27 inch monitor currently available. [A lot of folks on Amazon seem to dig this one from AOC](https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C27G2Z-Frameless-Ultra-Fast-Adjustable/dp/B088LG2BSW/ref=sr_1_9?crid=195XDYT0TUTRN&keywords=27%2Binch%2Bgaming%2Bmonitor&qid=1691900342&sprefix=27%2Binch%2Bgaming%2Bmonitor%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-9&th=1), but I've never bought anything other than Dell or LG over the years. It's inexpensive, that's for sure.
The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you _could_ do in a small town that you just can’t? I was in the mountains, Hendersonville NC I think, trying to find a place to eat after 7 pm on a week day. Was impossible.
This would be great while on vacation.
Hopefully the title is self explanatory, but if not, what I'm looking to do is this: After programming a flight plan to be executed automatically via GPS, I'd like to be able to control the gimbal camera based on holding and dragging my finger on the screen rather than using the rocker. I find it smoother, but it doesn't appear to work for me when I try it. Am I missing something?

> Like most of the other best Samsung TVs, the new 98-inch QN900C has Samsung's Gaming Hub and Motion Xcelerator Pro. That delivers 4K at up to 120Hz, rising to 144Hz with compatible PCs. There's also support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro as well as NVIDIA G-Sync like most of the best gaming TVs have.
I had this issue prior to whatever significant changes were made about a week or so ago that improved the performance of Lemmy.world. I'd try to create a new post or reply to an existing one. On hitting submit/reply, the spinning wheel would appear on the button icon and after waiting minutes, I'd refresh. Sometimes the post or reply would be present, other times not. With replies in particular, I'd make multiple tries and over time, the aborted attempts would result in a series of replies. Is there a performance issue server side that is the cause for this behavior? Is there anything I can do from my end to troubleshoot? One thing that is different between now and then is that upvoting or downvoting posts is fast and responsive. Before the changes using those buttons amounted to the same thing, lag/non-responsiveness. Regardless of the issues, I'm enjoying Lemmy.world! Keep up the good work.
Never mind Windows 365, I’ve yet to move on to Windows 11. Tried a few times and never liked it. This seems like a really bad idea. Are there any examples of this that Lemmians are familiar with? Certainly can’t play games on it. Right?

Cosplay at anime conventions has gotten *so* much better than 10-15 years ago. I think the last con I made it to was Otakon in Baltimore during the late aughts. There were maybe a handful of people that brought the level of quality to the costumes compared to many of the cosplayers these days.
FTA: >Microsoft has brought back everyone's favorite deal: $1 for a month of PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate. If you're purely interested in PC, that's 100-some very high quality games available on a windows PC for a month, and then a bunch of EA games as well, since PC Game Pass also includes an EA Play membership. >You can find PC Game Pass for $1, for a limited time, on Microsoft's store. PC Game Pass is $10 a month after the $1 promotion, while Game Pass Ultimate is $17. I have Game Pass Ultimate and it's been a wonderful way to try all kinds of games console and PC that I wouldn't otherwise play. I discovered [Hardspace: Shipbreaker](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1161580/Hardspace_Shipbreaker/) this way, and have sunk dozens of hours into it.
Kudos to Ars Technica to interviewing the Devil. The comments section of that post is *not *kind.
This doesn’t sound great.
Apparently this is a remake of the 3DS version. I only played the NES version back in the day, and remember it being quite a surprise. What looked like a Double Dragon clone was a full on Action RPG. I hope this is similar, and there looks to be a kind of fighting game mode ("Double Dragon Duel") in addition to the main game. 😎
>Rashid of the Turbulent Wind makes his Street Fighter 6 debut on July 24. With a whirlwind of moves that will send him flying through each fight, Rashid leaves all opponents in the dust – unless they decide to Like and Subscribe. >Rashid will be unlocked for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass on July 24 - by proxy, this also means anyone with the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition! >Street Fighter 6 is now available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Rashid was never one of my mains, but I remember getting my butt kicked by him well enough. Fun character from SFV.
I *love* [Dave the Diver](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE_THE_DIVER/). It's one of my favorite random purchases on Steam over the past couple months, and I'm glad to see it's getting some attention.
Don’t Feed the Trolls. It’s an expression that was a common response to obvious attempts to agitate on early message boards and BBSes. As individuals, there’s not a lot we can do to make a difference in this but what we’re finding out is that with good admins, an Instance of Lemmy or Mastodon can moderate toxic communities (Exploding Heads) from impacting non toxic ones (Lemmy.world). Admins of Lemmy, please be the ones that can actually “don’t feed the trolls.” Don’t federate with historically toxic communities such as Facebook. There’s a reason I’m here and it’s because it’s not FB. If I start encountering traditional aspects of that platform (hate, intolerance, disinformation and mass ignorance), I’ll leave. I’m one person, but based on what I’m seeing I am not unique in this position. Don’t Feed the Trolls! Thanks !
I have a 3080 ti w/ 16 GB of RAM and an 4+ ghz processor. It generally chews through any game at the moment and I was wondering what if any mods exist for Fallout 4 that can improve upon the base game in a way that makes it feel more modern/exciting. I've done some Googling and found some modifications for things like weather, lighting, and blood. Anyone recommend one or more mods?
