Targeting specific servers sounds like a problem of centralization, not fragmentation. If hosts can just easily move to new proxy servers, and users can easily create new accounts on any random server, then I don't think the Fediverse would be easy to target. The direction that a lot servers are going, with having to type a paragraph to join, seems like the opposite direction to me, and it makes me appreciate this server more.

They will probably just try to pay modders more for their mods on the official store than what Nexus is paying them, by charging users a microtransaction to download each mod. Modders probably will make so much more money for their mods, that they won't want to upload to Nexus or anywhere else. Also, there's no way that Bethesda is going to allow nsfw mods on their official store, so I guess we'll see what happens.

Learn to like not having to use your mouse. Only use your mouse as a last resort. One strength of CLI is almost never having to move your hands off of the homerow. Fuzzy finding is your friend.

For example:

  • Instead of using a desktop app like GNOME, where you click on stuff to open them on a visual desktop -> Use a window manager like i3. In i3 configs, set a keyboard shortcut to fuzzy find your installed applications and open them. Now, your process for opening Firefox goes from clicking on a desktop icon or scrolling through menus, to pressing a keyboard shortcut and typing in the first few characters of Firefox and pressing enter. Desktops are bloat, you can get all of the functionality of a desktop with just the i3 rust status bar extension and CLI.
  • Instead of typing out and remembering long CLI commands with a bunch of flags, use fzf to fuzzy find through your bash history. Fzf uses Ctrl-R for this, and it makes CLI interfaces much faster to navigate once you've already used those commands. It also makes searching files and navigating directories in CLI faster.
  • Mac and Windows lack keyboard shortcuts to fully manage the layout of things on your screen. I know they have some shortcuts, but they can't do everything without a mouse. Once again, I recommend a tiling window manager like i3 for moving tiles around, resizing, etc, all from the keyboard.
  • Learn vim or similar text editors which not only use the keyboard for typing characters, but also for navigating and editing text. Instead of moving your mouse to the end character of a long word you want to delete and hitting the backspace key 20 times -> In vim, type '/' and the first few characters of the word, press enter, and type 'dw' to delete the entire word. Vim mode is also available in bash and a bunch of extensions for other apps, you just have to configure them.

OP, the answer is obviously to starve yourself and use a buttplug

At least he didn't suggest doing it on the root directory xD

Just throwing my opinion in... Since we can block communities on our own, we don't really need someone to decide which to block for us. I mean, it's not my instance, so you can do whatever you want, and I actually might've decided to block lemmygrad.ml myself, but I'd still rather see the posts and make that determination myself.

This is actually good. Twitch has become just as anti-consumer as Reddit ever since Mixer shut down.

Try to practice more activities that require a lot of coordination, like riding a unicycle or juggling.

Run Jellyfin locally and put all of your digitized files in there. Jellyfin is open source, unlike Plex, so you won't have to worry about getting locked into a walled garden.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that r/gaming can't resist anti-consumer practices, given how they counterproductively feed into mtx and preorders that just make the gaming industry worse. They also have the memory of a goldfish after a studio or publisher fucks everything up and abandons their game, blindly hyping the next game while completely ignoring what happened.

What game engine are they using? It's not Unreal Engine?

Oh, gotcha. I guess if using a personal local server, then the only recurring cost would be electricity.
