Is there a difference between polenta and grits? Every time I see these recipes I just wonder if I've found a new healthy breakfast option.

I'm not particularly a lurker, but I've been on the internet in social spaces for a long time. I think one thing to remember is that Lemmy is sma which means that in the market of attention you don't have to post the absolutely moat interesting thing in order to have any discussion at all. There are a lot of things that are Interesting to people but not the most interesting thing that die on Reddit. As a result, you probably have a skewed idea of what interesting content is. Just post anything you want to share. Don't think about if other people find it interesting. You'll be amazed how many people will want to engage.

Education probably. Back in the day people didn't have any problem understanding that different forums had different capabilities. When MMOs were in full swing, people didn't have problems understanding what being on thr popular server during peak hours meant.

Everyone has just gotten too used to centralization with a lot of money behind it. Eventually people will adjust their expectations. Even if Meta's fediverse attempt takes off, there are always going to be niche communities that exist outside of those spheres, so if people want that, they'll have to move.

The point of the fediverse is having a choice. Some people are going to chose megacorp of the week's offering and that's okay as long a little pockets exist for when people get mad at the megacorp. Also federation leaves space for multiple dominant platforms in a way the current system doesn't.

In short, eventually some instances are going to be bankrolled either through a robust crowdcourcing effort or through being a company. That's okay. The purpose of the fediverse is to allow for smaller niche ideas to be able to breathe without having to adhere to one group's ideals. "If you don't like it, make your own" is a fair statement now

The umbrella term "girl games" exists because genres that traditionally appeal to women are underfunded and called "casual" or not thought of as real games. That video I linked explains it well. There are whole genres that are dear to many women's childhood that were killed for no other reason than they were games that appealed to women. A game can appeal to men, men and women or it's not a a real game at all as far as too many are concerned. that's why [email protected] where I intended to post this, exists.

I play a variety of games, but until all the kinds of games I play are thought of as real games by the average dude this kind of term will exist.

I'm old enough to remember dogpile. I learned about Google from an AOL manual. I so remember that I learned about it in middle school and it wasn't commonly used until a few years later. And not dominant until I was well into college. People hated it I remember. I was the weirdo who fell in love immediately.

That's my point. It's not about if people will switch from Google. It's about if news companies can stand the revenue loss for as long as that takes and it'll take 2 years being extremely absurdly optimistic. Likely it'll be 5 or more.

You came to a sub called girl games and asked this.

Here is a video about them since I don't feel like explaining https://youtube.com/watch?v=-BtmNI-xTbQ

I'll believe progress when anyone in my family even knows these things are an option. I'm a tech person and a fairly early adopter of tech things and I just learned whoogle was a thing this week and I don't know anything about it besides it is a search engine.

Self hosted is great and all, but user testing my lemmy instance with non-technical and basically online people has been painful. I don't doubt that eventually people like my sister will get to these options, but will they so it before these new organizations run out of money? That is the part I don't think is likely. We are like 5 years ouylt before the masses get what federation is and see the light of self-hosting. Not many organizations have that kind of savings.

The people who hate it have no taste. That sub is 10 times funnier now. I love the new import rule

They really decided that Naruto was right and kage bushin no jutsu is a fantastic defense against rapid attacks lol. That's really fascinating. From the POV of a normal character cheaters are like storm troopers missing their shots over and over again and opening themselves to be sniped. From the POV of the cheaters their opponents are really dumb grouping together like that. I wonder when cheaters will get savvy to this technique and just move house when they see too many targets in a space.

Sure, but the question is do the masses know about it? It's all great to have principles until you have to consider how you're gonna make payroll. We'll see if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure that the world has moved away from Google domination yet.

I'm not sure what they expected. An EU country (I can't remember if it was Spain or Italy) tried this and Google just left. Then the news outlets begged for the law to be repealed. Google has a monopoly on search. If people can't find you there, you're gonna have a bad time because of your traffic free fall.

Yes. If a white person applies to an HBCU they can get minority scholarships. There was a big story about it a few years ago where a white person wrote about their experience being a minority and turns out being a minority sucks no matter who the majority is.
