I’m actually a mod over there, but as a general consumer of content, there’s not enough to make it a viable community. It’s seen a little more activity recently, but is overall a fairly small and dead community.

Simracing. We don’t relate to typical gaming at all. It’s all high end hardware, all very specialized and typically doesn’t interest normal gamers.

Subreddit mods are very against Lemmy or anything that moves them off the platform. The absolute butthurt rage for weeks after the protests proved that one right.

Mostly I just don’t see this platform as an alternative for medium sized communities. It works for large ones where there’s enough people that after a move if 25% transfer then you still have a lively community. Or for small communities where you can get 70%+ to move. But those mid size, 100k users on average communities trying to get them to move just ends up with a ghost town here.

They kinda do though. I can’t post about my gaming niche in a gaming community because it’s barely tangential, and still haven’t found 99% of the communities I had on Reddit.

Lemmy is good for /all, and that’s about it tbh

Going to be honest here

Windows is good for general professional use. Linux is absolutely terrible. MacOS is also decent.

Professionals use windows because everyone knows how it functions, it has robust and supported user management and Microsoft provides significant enterprise support to companies using their operating system.

Linux only has some of those features, they’re often half-assed or unsupported, and there’s no central authority for help.

It’s fine for personal machines, but I absolutely disagree that the only thing windows has going for it is popularity.

Darktable is fine as a hobbyist, but it doesn’t fully replace Lightroom when you get into semi-professional and professional workloads.

I need to give it another try, but my 12TB raw file library is so unwieldy to manage that I haven’t tried importing it all there. Plus the AI generative removal and Denoising is pretty important to a lot of my workflows.

The games that sit at the top of the player counts are almost always multiplayer competitive games. In a lot of ways, there’s been nearly 0 movement in the space at all since covid. The same games are still right there at the top because no new massively multiplayer game has released to top them. FPS players play CoD, Apex, Fortnite and Pubg, Dota is massive in Asian countries, GTA V has a huge cult following (check out its twitch category).

Satisfactory being top 10 is an outlier rather than the norm, being a single player game.

I agree with the other commenter who said that players of these games consider themselves players of Apex/CoD/Pubg before they consider themselves overall gamers. That’s the case with me now, and I rarely launch anything outside of CoD or Apex as I have little to no interest in single player games.

The US. Our dominos served a 15-20 mile radius in my medium sized suburban town growing up.

It looks like it’s now the 6.99 deal

It’s been 6 or 7 years since I worked for dominoes

Bike is not faster for a 20 mile delivery range

You’re never going to find exactly what you want, but the 5.99 deal for a medium 2 topping also applies to the cheesy bread you ordered, bringing the total down significantly.

Never order dominos without coupons. It’s exponentially more expensive than anything you can get with a coupon.

Dominos largest profit margins are on orders exactly like this. It’s often more economical to order more food at a cheaper price.

The average user does not want to see that and does not need to see that. That’s how you end up with thousands of support requests of “why is my computer showing these errors?”

Things should be abstracted from the users by default. There’s no need for grandma to see a console output every time windows needs to update.

This definitely doesn’t happen to everyone. I’ve never once had this happen and I’ve kept my windows up to date.

100% never seen this either and I’m a daily windows user who has had the search bar disabled since day 1

It was for legal reasons. They split personal teams and work teams to try to dodge an antitrust iirc

Still no good if you play about 70% of games with an anticheat. Outside of that it’s fine if you’re willing to put up with general Linux issues

I can’t remember the last time I installed something from the front page of the App Store. I’m always searching for something specific

I’ve found that most people on this site don’t care about copyright in any form, so they’ll just ignore it like everything else

I think they’ve generally started hiring people to only handle online orders, or that’s how it appears at my local stores.

That doesn’t make the point irrelevant, it makes it even more likely to happen. Most of us don’t want to play on shitty, self-hosted servers and I’ll gladly remove that option to have a more secure game server.

Hot take, but games don’t need to be active for decades. Everything dies eventually. After 10 years there’s no need to keep running the game servers.
