I am really enjoying Matt Dillahunty's Debate Review vs Muslim Apologist Daniel Haqiqatjou.

Currently it comes in three parts, linked is the first. Two others are on the ready (the second one is two hours long). The fourth and final will come around at some point... which means you have time to catch up!

I'll probably hop on when I'm feeling froggy

PolyMC has a toxic lead dev. Google it to learn more. PrismLauncher forked from it about a year ago taking nearly all the active devs, and it remains my favorite launcher of all those I've used.

Fuck PolyMC.

Hi5! I'm 45 and I have played MC from the beginning, still play it more than any other game. Now my little kids play it with me and it's their favorite too.

for me, reddit nearly always has way more quality content and news for me though for the time being

It's not just you.

As constructively as I can put this, reddit has been building community and goodwill for many years. Lemmy has only recently become an option and it's done wonderfully in the short time it's had.

The challenge is the catch 22. People go where there is more content, they produce content there, and then there is more content there. There no vacuum, reddit didn't disappear. It became toxic and people apparently care less about avoiding toxicity than filling up on dank memes.

All I can say to that is we all need to be the change we want to see in the world. Adopt a Lemmy First mentality, and go to reddit only to pick up legacy slack. Continue the conversation from there over here. Link it up.

The same could be said of literally every single product that magically became way more expensive post pandemic for no justifiable reason.

I'm 100% retro and linux gaming, but I don't need to force my kids down the road I'm on. I just share what I love and hope they choose it for themselves so we have common interests. So far, surprisingly, they both love NES / SNES and that's thanks to Nintendo developing the same franchises for decades, for better or worse.

I don't really game on the go other than mindless android games. If I did, steam deck makes way more sense. For the kids I keep thinking Switch mainly because they already love the Wii, and all their friends have Switches, so it's a social vocabulary thing.

Surely you're right about the satisfaction part. I need to make sure the kids are part of it, maybe choosing models and building, painting, etc with me. They are pretty young but once they get a little better spatial awareness and reading skills, python and freecad are not out of the question! They play minecraft already, so we're off to a good start I think.

 

Well, I made a commitment today. After a couple of years on an Ender 3 Pro which is totally a ship of Theseus now, I’m building a #Voron 2.4 r2. Wish me luck! It was either that or a Switch and some games.

This is the next (big) step into getting a little more serious about project work with my kids. I hope it pays off for us 😅

Human beings only think in terms of all things having a beginning because in our limited frame of reference everything we know always has.

True! I guess some people specialize in lying about being liars.
