They’re working on Among Us Stuff??? Aww, I hope they still remember their Henry Stickmin origins

Lol that’s what I got too, like, I was expecting some other nazi or a communist, but I got the fuhrer himself, like?? It’s just funny to think about, like most personality tests using people as archetypes.

In general, people will stick to communities and platforms they find, like, for example, many games I play don’t have a presence in lemmy because the fediverse’s concept itself is already very alternative because most people just join wherever their friends / co-workers are, which is the mainstream platforms.

The rising costs of hosting your own server is also a factor, and generally, hexbear itself is more focused on politics, which is fine, but more niche topics or interests are lost, and only through dedicated posting can that be changed, but most hexbearians here obviously have IRL stuff to do, and not all of them share the same interests, such as the c/slop community. Some people like it (like me) while others don’t, and that’s also fine.

But it’s that the tendency of ‘power users’ that have more free time and thus able to be more chronically online are also more reactionary due to how they got the money and time to do so, this is seen in reddit. The fediverse is like, maintaining an open source project. You can have donations, or even encouraged to work for various reasons such as ideology or use-value, but volunteer labour is very precarious especially in a time of crisis such as today, so it’s not entirely surprising users go offline.

I think the Fediverse is a good concept, but, like the open source software is built on, it will only grow if it provides a genuine better experience than mainstream, which is why leftists and free software people go here since our priorities differ from those who stay at the mainstream platforms. The concept of an internet built on fediverse principles with state support is not fully realized yet, but I do think it’s possible, if the server hardware for it is still available, that is.

Even us non-US citizens also pay attention lol

to be fair, there’s just a lot of stuff happening in the world that will make you touch grass. I, myself haven’t been posting and commenting as much as I do before, I simply just don’t have much to talk about anymore, and academics (I’m still in that phase of life) are quite huge, and mount up once semesters start. It’s also a bit of IRL organizing that of course, you shouldn’t post too much about in Hexbear about it for OpSec reasons, and there’s not really much to look at and talk about (yet…) that would energize internet social medias like this.

Like the US-Israel War of Aggression on Iran right? It’s still happening, but the website was quite active during it’s more turbulent weeks.

it’s a call of duty game, they will never let you play the other side, the campaign trailer I watched seemed pretty focused on the CoD character Price and Occupied Korea’s army.

ah yeah dual boot is… not ideal but that has been my status quo in my system and I learnt my mistake and next time I get a new device I would rather VM my windows needs.

Huh, I never heard of those genAI desktop wallpapers, I searched it up and got one photo in SDDM that sucked that was specifically to EndeavourOS. Technically, you can just remove the endeavourOS branding and extra apps and you have base Arch (I think, anyway?), and I don’t even use their wallpapers… I’m not going to comment on moving away because of genAI. I think it’s fine, if you prefer your current system, anyway.

I use EndeavourOS (another Arch-based distro) and rEFInd, on a dual boot (Windows is as small as I can make it, I don’t update it intentionally). EndeavourOS’ installer is way easier and rEFInd to me is more stable than GNU Grub

okay I admit that was good voice acting on her part

just another day in “israel”, constantly hating anyone who opposes genocide.

I’d agree with most of the libs in his reddit, like, even the most lib of libs will say that you shouldn’t ‘glass’ the Russian populace of their government, why is bro so angry about ‘the russian people not standing up to their authoritatian leader’ when he lives in denmark?

“Thank you, Chainsaw Man!”

“Chainsaw… Man?”

“Because you’re a man… and you were holding a chainsaw.”

“Oh yeah.”

I am a weird one and use KDE’s ghostwriter, I found it and just started using it on my linux desktop. I sync to my devices using KDE Connect, by file-sharing or clipboard sharing and use Quillpad on my phone, they all somehow work together.

he read it, then promptly forgot about it

That has been a contentious area that shows exactly why the Filipino Government is incompetent in it’s inability to follow the populace in acting materially against Israel. While we can infer they follow whatever the US does because the US still holds significant influence over the Philippines, I hope the movement here can finally push the rotten system to kick Zionists out, but currently, the country is working through the issues of impeachment, ICC arrest warrants and spats of the dynasty against each other. We’ll see in the following weeks if they do something about this.

the twitter comments are mixed, some of them are both-sideing, some of them are critiquing mamdani for posting that but letting zionists roam free in NYC, and some of them are rabid Zionists.

the danish social fascist hoi4 player cares more about private property and tresspassing that doing anything material to stop a genocide, ah, just another day in europe.

ah i see, I don’t read / watch LoTR so this was an insight to me

I only remembered this guy because he was beat by Grisha in HoI4 (Grisha being a Russian that is… quite ultranationalistic, based on his current posts and positions) as Germany because he forgot to build an airforce at the first war (in TFR) and forgot to garrision the coast of Germany in the second war (funnily enough Gunter played as a communist Germany during the second war, I wonder what he felt…?). It’s quite funny and interesting how the European side in that tournament lost to one guy’s obsession in HoI4 playing as the Russian ultranationalists.

Ah. So he’s that type of “socialist”.
