xbox one OS is windows 10 core. That doesnt make it “not a console”



I remember when twitter first came out and people were talking about “tweets” and it sounded just as stupid as xing sounds today. But the word has made it into mainstream lexicon and been normalized. Just like “googling” something just means to search. Tweet will mean to message something. I think part of the reason he is abandoning twitter is because it is becoming increasingly hard to legally fight other people using the terms for his platform for other platforms. For instance Mastadon is using “toot” which started from “twoot” which started from tweet.

I also still think he is an idiot for abandoning a brand name that is literally in every house and on every storefront. Even if they cant defend the vocabulary to abandon it all is the dumbest business decision I’ve ever heard of.

p.s. for xing I like “kissing” since XOXO is hugs and kisses with the X being the kiss. Considering how homophobic Elon is having his platform being a bunch of people kissing would just be to perfect!


If you remember back to your birthday cards as a kid when your loved ones put XOXO in the card… X is kisses.

So Xing is pronounced Kissing!


Xs obviously and if you remember back to your grandmother’s birthday cards Xs are kisses! So tweets are now called kisses and tweeting something is Kissing obviously.


Works on steamdeck too but not the greatest. The game really needs more screen as the UI takes up a lot of screen space and shooting small rocks is hard to do sometimes. But it’s chill enough that it works just fine, not perfect, but pretty good.



I want a GTA style game set in the early 1900s Lovecraft world mixed with a procedural world builder like Covert Action had. So the overall world would be set but the inside of buildings and tunnels and etc as well as the overall story would change. Then release DLC for each of the Great Old Ones that each came with 6-8 major plot lines. With 8 player coop. No lazy pvp bs. PvP can be included but it’s not the focus so as to not give a shit about anti-cheat or stat tracking on a master server.

Then implement a scab system like in tarkov but for cultists. You turn PvP on and a cultist can come play in your game doing things.


Generally speaking you cant just up and leave. You have a job, a house or apartment. You can just randomly find a job in another state at the drop of a hat and even if you can you might not be able to find a home. Then you have to factor in moving away from your family and friends and kid’s friends and their school and.

Unless you just have stupid money laying around no one can afford to uproot their entire life and just move somewhere else.


The fact that they would be obviously covering it up would be noticeable to people and would cause what they are trying to cover up to become more prominent in the news and on the site.



I hope they do. Would be an obvious wake up call to more people on reddit.


Just use console commands to up your level / stats. The big thing for me was knowing which enemies to fight and which ones to run from. Because if they outlevel you THEN you run into that HP sponge thing.


Everyone who thinks people should cancel their prime account because of horrible working conditions should first look at their phone… then their tv… then any other random electronics they have… then look at their shoes and their clothes and everything else they have made cheaply in a factory that abuses human labor. Then find a dictionary and look up the word hypocrite.


I think that is disingenuous. People did complain (and pearl clutch) about reddit as it’s tree comment structure was vastly different than what people were used to and the upvote / downvote didnt make any sense. But people adapted quickly just like they always do. This move to lemmy is exactly like how the digg -> reddit move went.


Im not being defensive. I’m agreeing with you but adding context for other people. It’s legitimately consequences of beehaw’s actions. Those actions have a valid reason though.

Your post is specifically worded/presented in a way to illicit a reaction from people, which you got. So it’s fair for me to qualify my answer when I agree with you.


and why isnt it easy? (to op). It took me less time to sign up for lemmy than it did for reddit back in the day and I’ve had no issues at all. Some confusing back end stuff and relearning all the formatting for urls and etc but it’s no more complicated than reddit was to first get into.


I mean yes it is a consequence of beehaw’s actions. Those actions were justified though and the consequences mild considering how easy it is to view a community without being logged in.


Obviously lemmy.world isnt the ideal location for beehaw users to follow but you dont need to be logged in to view content so I’d suggest just browsing the syncforlemmy community natively for now. Right now there are no official posts by ljdawson anyways.

Not sure how great that will work as it’s not showing anything posted by anyone from lemmy.world and since ljdawson is a lemmy.world account you wont see any of the posts made by him…


You’d need the full link since beehaw defederated with lemmy.world. But you can keep track without needed an account.

Yep, used compact view the whole time I used sync and it was perfect! chef’s kiss


It’s hard to use that nuke in a full party and not be toxic. You almost always end up catching someone or someone gets forced into the blast radius burn.


He has a name people recognize even without ever recognizing him.


Bought multiple copies of Sync Pro and Ultimate. Apollo was good, RiF was great but Sync Pro was GOD! The GOAT!

Still holding out hope that ljdawson does a sync pro for lemmy. Hope he at least adds a splash page on the 30th explaining why the app no longer works and where to go.


I’m reserving all my opinions until after the 30th when all the 3rd party clients die. A lot of people dont even know their client is about to reach end of life because they dont check reddit every day or follow the news close enough.

Usage statistics saw a 15-25% hit in traffic during the protest. It’s still around 8% lower than it was pre protest.

My personal opinion though is that reddit doesnt have to die. It just has to lose it’s status as the front page of the internet. That happens when there is an alternative to reddit that has a critical mass of users to be a rival. I think we are close to that right now with lemmy.


Honestly, mobile browing (even using old.reddit) has been garbage for years because they detect your mobile OS and constantly try to push their app on you. Click on link, do you want to open in mobile app? let me open the playstore for you. And then you also get limited comments. To see more comments open in mobile app… You could do a case study in how to alienate your customers into leaving your platform on just mobile browsing reddit.
