Because Nintendo is a vexatious litigant that weaponizes the legal system in an attempt to bankrupt their opponents.

There isn’t really any reason that a Christian couldn’t watch anime, unless the particular anime a Christian is deciding on happens to heavily feature or promote actions/things/etc condemned in the Bible. In that case it would still be the Christian’s choice but it would make logical sense for them to choose not to watch that particular one. But there isn’t anything condemning animated entertainment as a whole.

Only so far as it borrows some names and imagery from Christianity, along with other religions as well. Evangelion makes no actual commentary on religion or religious ideas, it just uses religious terms for its world building techno-babble.

Yet.

ChatGPT is excellent for suggesting an idea that I haven’t thought of. I can then use that as a springboard to write out something that works. Asking it if there are optimizations also can yield quite good results. I find I spend less time debugging on average, but not by a large margin.

Lemmy users are typically very anti-anything other than Linux/Firefox, so this probably won’t be well received here.

Its your wedding, you dont have to spend money on things you don’t want. Courthouse weddings happen often and are very low cost.

It pains me to see the stainless steel finish covered up like this.

Nearly every person in South California, which is an incredibly high density of population? The entire bottom half of California is practically a desert, literally home to one of the hottest deserts in the entire planet the Mojave which contains the appropriately named Death Valley.

How about the people that live in parts of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, much of southern Texas, and New Mexico? And thats just in the United States. What about people in other continents like Africa and Asia? Large areas of those continents contain entire countries whose borders never leave desert or hills and mountains. Nearly the entire Middle East and top half of Africa is desert. A large part of Australia is desert, its like more than 50% of the continent. 1/5 of the entire land area of Earth is a desert.

Yes, that would help, but that would require major reworking of large areas. Additionally, having a large density of population all living on top of each other presents its own unique problems.

Really, its a situation where different people and places need different solutions. Some can use public transport and bicycles, and some cannot. And unless the Earths population becomes so large that every square inch of the planet is as dense as a place like Kowloon, cars will continue to fill a use that bicycles and public transport can never fill.

E-bikes still have a massive carbon footprint compared to regular bicycles, and the battery efficiency is very adversely effected by high heat (deserts) and low heat (snow) .

Either way, a car, even if its an EV, will be the better pick for every situation I stated above.

1. You picked a subcompact car, rather than a vehicle that any person with more than one braincell would pick for moving furniture, such as a truck.

2. You 100% will have a better time doing everything else I said in even a subcompact like the Polo than a bicycle.

Bikes sound like a great idea until you decide to live in the hills/mountains, or a place where it rains/snows often, or you need to buy more than 4 bags of groceries, or you live in a desert, or you are moving furniture.

I don’t know exactly the correlation, since it seems to be all over. News, entertainment, and other even niche communities have a lot of politically motivated content that gets posted that is not just silly memes or factual reporting, or on-topic discussion.

Yeah, I saw the communist stuff too. But I set filters early on that hide content by keyword in Connect for Lemmy, which is what I typically use for browsing. I filter all content mentioning pretty much anything political and a few other subjects, but a lot of content still gets through because it doesnt trigger the keyword detection. The filters really helped to hide all that stuff early on, so it hasnt been as bad as when I first joined, but things still get through pretty often. So now I just block users that post that stuff, since users will typically post more similar content.

I believe its more that OP is posting a meme communicating that they are not happy with Lemmy’s recent flooding of users that post mostly politically charged content. They see themselves among the people.having fun just posting and laughing at silly memes. The person behind yelling is the Lemmy users that post politically charged content, through comments, posts, and perhaps voting. They may not be referring directly to American politics, but other types of politics such as Social Politics.

It’s weird, I see a lot of people saying they dont see this content, but they must have a lot of filters turned on that filter out that content. Because I see a lot of content posted that is politically charged and I don’t typically want to engage in that content here. Lemmy wasn’t like it is now until sometime around the end of August. Not sure where this particular spike came from exactly but its tiring being constantly hounded by it. It doesn’t have to be in everything, you know?

“Just me and this sign. One of us only tells lies, the other only tells the truth…”

I am not complaining about FOSS, or even saying its bad. I am saying the people that look at FOSS as if it was their god are annoying. The people that just cannot shut up and have to shove it in your face. The people that start conversations with “I use Arch” or “Godot is the best.” Thats what I am talking about.

Look, I might have switched to Godot if all the people recommending it weren’t so annoying about it. Effort or not, the vast majority of those people did not contribute to the software, so it wasn’t even their fight. They just adopted a weird oppression fetish into their personality and decided to make FOSS into their god.

If someone was wronged by “Big GameDev” or whatever and developed their own FOSS replacement, then good on them, I am happy to listen about it. But the large majority of these users didn’t do that, but act like they did. Just be normal, please. Being so overly annoying about it isn’t going to attract more people, existing users being annoying are going to push away potential new users.

The one thing you can count on Godot users for is that they act exactly like Arch Linux users.

Common problem in autoshops, actually.
