I think this is pretty natural. After a while, only people who are ok with the complaints will buy it, and they will rate it as an ok game. Hence the scores go up.
Also i guess the developers try to make it better with time. Sounds like they focused on that for a full year.

It's a good show. Not amazing like some people say, but it's something you will probably enjoy.
I never thought about it again after finishing it though.

I had high hopes due to the defederated nature of the technology, but first thing that happened was that instances with different views started to defederate.. That wouldnt be so bad if not all content came from just one or two large instances, but since it does, the entire network is now depending on them to survive.
This is 100% caused by every website about Lemmy linking to Lemmy.world, so that's what users pick. It can be argued that there was very good intent behind this, giving users an instance with experienced admins to start their Lemmy adventures. But the downside of this is the very controlled, centralized nature of the Lemmy network now.

Yes, but since you had many forums, you could move to one with more relaxed admins. They had no dependency. On Lemmy, instances are connected and there is pressure to have the same moderation rules or you get defederated because your instance is now creating discussions that leads to reporting of users on other instances.

No not specifically that I think. Just tankie servers.

I absolutely want people to pick other solutions than reddit and zuckerfuck, but I'm not sure Lemmy is the solution either.
The large Instances already overdo the moderation, cracking down on specific words, or people not agreeing with gender issues or vaccination issues. Just a few examples.
And no, you can't just join another instance because the ones without similar moderation rules are defederated from Lemmy.world, which acts as the center hub of content. So in practice, any Lemmy experience without Lemmy.world is a poor one, filled with tankies and insane things. That's not what anyone intelligent wants.
I remember when we had forums, it was ok to be upset sometimes. It was fine to not agree. That's why the discussions were interesting. There was no downvotes. No popularity contests. No karma points (or ok, some forums actually had user levels based on how much they posted, but nobody cared I think).
If you want to build a proper discussion forum, it needs to allow for actual discussions and actual emotions, heated debates, insults sometimes.
At least that's the way I see it. Or you will just have memes and pointless things scrolling by.

Personally I think it's good. Students that don't respect the teacher shouldnt even be there. If it was up to me, I would send them home if they don't behave. But that's not something you can do as a teacher I guess.

Makes sense. Younger employees tend to have more energy to do things, while older ones are getting comfortable after working for so many years.

Thank you, I didn't get the paywall myself so didn't know. Maybe it's not blocked in Europe or something.
I never link to paywalled stuff otherwise.

Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this? Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.

Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

I think a mix of healing and damage through curses is better. I haven't played wow in like 20 years, but my favorite was the shadow priest. Both a healer and a strong damage dealer.

I don't think a fence will stop anyone... :) But sure, go ahead.

This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty. These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.
Not long to go now :) Frostpunk 1 was one of my all time favorite games and I think everyone should check out the sequel. It's been getting stellar reviews.

My favorite quote: > While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off. > Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S. Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time. It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office. At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.
www.businessinsider.com
Some quotes from the article: > There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program. > We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane. > Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors. These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year. Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner. And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool. I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.

Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from "social" media? Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay... :)

Julian Assange is free. After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again. I'm wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.
I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind. But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt. It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here: https://blog.lytix.co/posts/self-hosting-llama-3 But probably not worth the money for most people.
www.theguardian.com
I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.
I think this is the perfect analogy for what's happening right now to the open web. We are part of the Cosy Web here on Lemmy.. :)
This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative. > With other solutions, the "key" that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return. This tickles some part of my brain... The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?
