Were they kicked out solely for having a differing opinion? Then it’s indisputably an echo chamber

Do the members seldom here opposing opinions outside of strawmen arguments or the occasional troll? Then it’s a defacto echo chamber

All organizations with common interests run the risk of becoming one, but the trap is particularly insidious for (and often weaponized by) online communities

No good Xbox games came out in 1896

Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme

Grub Rescue

Same way you overcome any of life’s challenges: decide it’s impossible bullshit and move onto another game

Doesn’t sound familiar but I understand there’s very little to go off here

Can’t remember the name but there’s a novel set in Ireland in the not-too-distant future

Synopsis implied it had become a surveillance state but didn’t gave up before confirming due to the literal writing style

I swear every sentence was written in the passive voice (poorly remembered examples):

“It was made known through the clothes he wore they were sent from the department of security”

“As she walked outside the smell made Spring’s arrival clear”

Totally fine normally but do it every single sentence and it becomes a mystery novel where the mystery is what the hell you just read!

… Or idk, Harry Potter 5 is pretty meandering

Pick any human development index measurement and view its progress over the past 10 years

“You are inside 2 wolves”

Keep your share of rent between 1/4 and 1/3 of your income, set up passive savings contributions of at least 10% and use a high yield savings account to stave off inflation until you both have 3 months living expenses and understand why the best investment strategies are boring

If you’re in university, your desired career and its requirements should determine your major, , not the other way around

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree only to realize my career was a dead end because only in my senior year was I informed there’s such thing as a “mental health license” for which I was disqualified due to low grades in a non-related class the year prior. Eventually I learned how well blue collar jobs pay (with a lot of job security at that) and got back on my feet working in logistics but I’ll never see the 50x return on investments by retirement because “why learn about finances when you can barely pay rent”

It all seems very obvious in hindsight

Are they upset they didn’t get hit with the xz backdoor?

Well if it means 50 cents less per gallon shouldn’t we appease capitualte negotiate (like Pregozhin)

Design is too mobile responsive

I was just thinking this sounds like Lemmy becoming e-Mormons

The fact is most people are perfectly happy being herded like cattle if it means avoiding a slight learning curve and new ecosystem

I could be wrong but is the previous statement referring to Lemmy, Mastodon, Linux or my entire career of shielding management/entrepreneur types from minor technical details?

Tbf, the 3rd party apps improved greatly over the past 6 months

Forgive my ignorance (actually, no, bitterly hold a grudge against it but answer the question through your repressed seething anger) but why are there 2 Mastodon logos?

RE 4 (original), every Ratchet and Clank game, Space Invaders by complete accident, etc

Let’s just take a moment to recognize his struggle to find a few more programmers

Maybe if we pool together and buy just one more pack of gems (or whatever they call them) they can pull off what must surely be a truly Herculean technical feat
