  • Do you understand the difference?

    Yes, but you don’t. You’re promoting cutting off an entire group of viewpoints all on the flimsy justification that there are some shitty people and trolls on .ml (just block the bad users on your own ffs).

    Defederating will create echo chambers across the fediverse where dissenting voices aren’t heard by people who really need to consider a contrary opinion. That’s censorship. Sure technically each individual user could go make a new account wherever they please, but that’s an extra step and it’s easier to police any dissent that trickles in. Don’t tell me that’s not censorship, I’m not stupid.

    It’s nice the fediverse doesn’t have centralized control, (otherwise the tankies that built it would have banned everyone), but this place will ultimately produce nothing useful for society since it’s devolving into isolated echochambers where people go to get intellectually jerked off when they feel sorry for themselves.







  • Civ6 has districts. Instead of having all of a city’s buildings existing in the city center tile, the city builds specialty districts that occupy a hex near the city. For example, a science district placed near some mountains will house the city’s library, university, and research lab.

    I think the districts are a fun addition because it exposes a civ’s infrastructure to attack. You can pilliage an opponent’s districts to temporarily cripple them and you get some decent loot in the form of gold, science, culture, or faith.









  • About 6 montha ago I wanted to replace my S21 battery and checked with Samsung, who redirected me to iFixit. The only genuine Samsung S21 battery they had was only sold with the screen, which cost ~$130 or something. I didn’t need the screen…

    Last month I checked again and saw they had a third party replacement battery for ~$30, same capacity. I bought it and popped it in. It’s been working fine.

    Was it Samsung’s requirement that the battery only be sold with the screen? At the time, I would have rather had the genuine Samsung battery and would have paid a bit extra for it, but not $100 extra.
