Mastodon is to Twitter as Lemmy is to Reddit.

I feel like you’re using “supercede” differently to the rest of us. You’re getting a hostile reaction because it sounded like you’re saying that EM is no longer at all useful because it has been obsoleted (superceded) by QM. Now you’re (correctly) saying that EM is still useful within its domain, but continuing to say that QM supercedes it. To me, at least, that’s a contradiction. QM extends EM, but does not supercede it. If EM were supercedes, there would be no situation in which it was useful.

“X depends on or is built up on Y” does not imply “X is Y”. Concepts, laws, techniques, etc. can depend or be higher-order expressions of QM without being QM. If you started asking a QM scientist about tensile strength or the Mohs scale they would (rightly) be confused.

Yes, the same EU. The fact that it’s considering some poor choices doesn’t detract from the fact that it’s actions thus far have been positive and deserve appreciation. Real Life doesn’t split people neatly into heroes and villains.

Good work, 47. Now get to an exit.

mandatory downtime between fights that punishes trying to brute force practice them

Fascinating. This would frustrate the hell out of me - if I’m trying to get better at something, the last thing I want is enforced wait-time between practice attempts! Still, I’m glad you’ve found other games that you enjoy more rather than being influenced by the Internet’s collective fan-boner for FromSoft.

If you don’t enjoy practicing bosses, FromSoft games will probably not be for you.

This is not a dunk! There is nothing inherently superior or worthwhile about games that require practice. I personally enjoy Soulslike games, but people who claim they’re they’re the One True Genre are just fooling themselves.

Sure, because something so egregious would definitely show up in a Google search for “Zach Weinersmith sweatshop”, right?

Unless…you’re exaggerating on the Internet to stir up outrage?

Covering your ass typically involves not trying to do the right thing or, perhaps, pretending to do the right thing in public in order to have a plausible excuse when things go wrong

You have a very different idea of CYA than I (or the other poster). To me, CYA means ensuing you have evidence that tried to do the right thing and were overruled, so that you will can (justifiably) avoid repercussions when the failures you warned about come to pass.

I reject the premise. I’ve had three interactions with the DMV in-person, and all three were smooth and pleasant.

Their website was irredeemably broken (and poorly-designed even if it had worked as intended), but that’s a different story…

GNU Terry Pratchett.

“I’m A Believer” was originally by The Monkees - and both it and All Star are still great songs!

“not how you play cricket”

I (native UK English speaker)'ve only ever heard it with “cricket” in an adjectival form. As in “that’s just not cricket”.

I wish! Nah, I went to the Discworld Convention when I was 8 or so, and met him at one of the book-signing events, where he noticed my namebadge. Though even in the few minutes that I spent chatting with him there, he was very obviously a warm, kind, generous man. GNU Terry Pratchett.

Fun fact - my childhood nickname (and online handle) was used (with permission) by the great man himself! (As the name of a hearty military soup :P )

Typo sort-of accurate? :P

The way Reddit works is that you care about the content, not the people posting it.

That’s mostly true, but not entirely. The OP of a thread should be a distinguished role, since their updates have significance in things like AMAs. It would also be good to highlight situations where a different person has joined a reply chain - if you have been having a 1:1 back-and-forth, and you see a new reply in that context, it’s easy to assume it’s coming from the same - an assumption that might make you incorrectly reference prior claims in the conversation as if they were made by that person.

RIF did the former, but not the latter (AFAIK).

Are you joking? It’s always asklemmy, memes, announcements, programmerhumour, and maybe one or two others for me.

Edit: just checked again, it’s:
