Good luck with banning either. Sounds like it'd be a popular policy.

Yea, the download size was getting too big (or they couldn't be bothered QA-ing new gear with old content) so they started deleting old stuff.

Means if you start playing now you can't play the story from the beginning which seems pretty terrible to me.

Could instances not basically do that here too though?

Does karma actually effect your account on reddit?

That's an interesting new definition of 'useful' you have.

You think if you told people they all had to get rid of their grass lawns heaps of them wouldn't just replace them with a load of concrete if they didn't want the maintenance? Enough people do it already without being forced to by a ban.

Claiming it's "not actually useful" though is just wrong.

It can be useful. It's a great surface for doing any form of outdoor exercise on.

So you'd rather concrete jungle over lawns? I feel like if you banned grass lawns that's what you'd get.

The more users the more content there is though which is ultimately what I want as a user.

This is even more important for more niche communities a lot of which are still very quiet/dead/non-existent on Lemmy relative to reddit.

You can't think of any circumstances where a man claiming to be a woman to enter what is generally a space reserved for the opposite gender with malicious intent wouldn't be concerning?

Surely basically any changing room or bathroom in the country meets this criteria?

I don't know how unpopular an opinion it is, but surely anyone just deciding to self ID as a different gender opens huge safeguarding concerns?

I'm all for the process being easy for them to work through, but literally just doing it yourself seems excessively easy and abusable.

Every other device I use with a rechargeable battery suffers hugely with degredation. Can you explain why an EV battery would be an exception (cause I would love it to be!).

Surely if its a very common myth that you know to be wrong you should be trying to correct that.

I also am uncertain about the 2nd hand value of electric cars. Don't know how much battery degradation kills their range...

The only point I'd make on heat pumps is that they are a good way of heating a home using electricity. Without using heat pumps, even with solar panels most people will still have to use some form of boiler to heat their homes/water and I think heat pumps are a good step forward for us to actually move toward energy efficient heating specifically.

You're right though that in the short term we can probably get better value from solar panels or investing more in wind

Article is just focused on the UK. So is more like getting 40million people to reduce their meat consumption (not stop) vs getting 8million UK cars off the road.

Who produce emissions because they make a product that ultimately ends up being used by a consumer...

I think it's chicken and egg.

I find it hard to spend much time on Lemmy cause there's not as much content being posted... Which is because there aren't as many users... But users won't come until there's content...

I also still stand by the whole instance thing being confusing for someone to join (though I do understand its benefits I guess)

I'm just loving the epic-ness of the boss fights. Not sure how far through I am, but will be sad when it's over

Thanks. I've been using liftoff too but have been finding it a little buggy at times.

Hoping Boost for Lemmy will launch soon
