    Not in this case, I found a recent thread where people posted a side by side of an old product with the new one.

    The cotton/polyester split used to be 75/25, now it’s 55/45…

    Seems like Bethesda and Ubisoft have kinda the same problem.

    Once upon a time they innovated and released games that set a new level for the industry. Then they kinda boiled that down to a formula and just focused on making it bigger, missing the point of what made the games popular and what people liked them for.

    They also managed to lose the fine details and parts that people liked in their quest to just make the games as big as possible.

    People didn’t like Skyrim and the early AC games because they were perfect, they liked them because they were the best we had at the time and there was also a lot of care put into them.

    FromSoft could’ve fallen down that rabbit hole as well, but they keep changing things up in their soulslike games.

    Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, each of those games are “soulslike” but also have fundamental changes that make them a unique experience.

    Not quite the monitoring I’m talking about though.

    Basically, it seems like this would be a nightmare for a home user to detect, but a company is probably gonna pick up on this quite quickly with snmp monitoring (unless it somehow does something to that).

    Mine used to scream at me for being lazy all the time, and now she wonders why I don’t talk to her about anything 🤷‍♂️

  • TIL mass fatality causing "humam stampedes" and "hysterical masses" are myths which shift responsibility from organisers for fatal crowd incidents which "invariably" result from poor organisation

    I guess it’s making a point of saying that if there’s an organised system in place, people will maintain their composure and leave without issue, even in an emergency.

    It’s when there’s a lack of organisation and a bottleneck that means people start to get crushed, then all hell breaks loose when they truly panic.

    Basically, the lack of organisation and a safe route out is what causes the panic where people stampede, not the emergency itself.

    Mate, they’re people too. They generally don’t care on a personal level, and as you say they prioritise everything else.

    Nobody cares about people smoking weed except pearl clutchers.

    The fact that houses stink of weed and police walk straight past. There’s a notorious smoking spot around where I live, they don’t bother with it.

    I’ve walked past police officers while I smell like weed, if they were to stop everyone like that they’d have their hands full.

    As long as you don’t do it directly in front of them and they’re not looking for a reason to arrest you, they’re not gonna bother.

    It just surprises me how there seems to be almost no discussion about legalising weed in the UK. It’s really not talked about that much (besides medical use), and I don’t see much push for it either.

    I think the government/police are generally happy to ignore it, and smokers are therefore happy to just get on with it.

    Would be nice and convenient if I could just buy it from a store though :/

  • I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit. I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it. How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want. Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere. How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works? What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet? Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities for soccer, NFL, basketball, MMA? But then how do you get a consistent naming scheme that lets people know it's part of the fediverse? Maybe Lemmy could work as a replacement, but it seems like it needs a 'flagship' server with a group of people maintaining it to set an example. Then other servers that cover more specific areas, such as sports, can be set up and potentially work closely with that flagship group. If this doesn't happen, then I can't see how this doesn't just fizzle out. P.S. I've also compared two different Lemmy servers and looked at the same post in a community, and there are different numbers of comments on each where they haven't synced up... I also wanted to post this to the main Lemmy community, but as I had to register via a different server, I'm not able to access that community from the server I'm using for some reason...
