I think I like fantasy even more than sci-fi. Lord of the rings was awesome, both books and movies. I really liked The witcher books. I wouldn’t really say I have a strong preference to genre as long as the story is good. And execution of the story is even more important.

I just don’t like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can’t make myself to like.

I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.

Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.

I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.

I don’t know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can’t bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.

I mean, I like both, so that’s not it…

Definetly not scary, but I really liked it.

Couldn’t really make it work for me, gas stove and a moka pot seems too finicky. So I just do pourover

I do it the Arch way. I don’t use Arch, btw

I doubt it. The moka pot in general is finicky. Unless you put milk or something into the coffee I find it rather harsh and I don’t like milk in coffee.

This is 100 % a matter of technique, I can make a good cup of coffee with it. I just need to dial in grind and ratios right, but even then it’s hard to control the temperature. By the time I go to that sputering hissy phase it becomes harsh and very bitter.

In general it’s hard for me to find the sweet spot between battery acid and coal juice with a moka pot. Pourover is much more forgiving and consistent.

And that is the different premise for the social network.

You do have the equivalent choice here.

If you want Facebook, go to Facebook. It’s not worse or better it’s different.

Well Facebook is worse, but the reasons are corporate not design issues (it’s more complicated than that, but that’s beyond the point).

In this context, it’s an open public digital space. Noone is obligated share anything.

The part that is discussed as a privacy issue is a design element. It is by design post are visible to everyone, it is by design that comments are visible to everyone.

How is it a privacy issue when the user desides what to post for everyone to see?

If you are looking for a different design ideology then maybe you need a different social media platform.

I’ve never been on Twitter. Besides Reddit I really disliked all other main platforms. So answering your question: I don’t care, it’s a different platform for different style of social media interactions.

the Internet is forever

My position has nothing to do with this sentiment. Internet forgets, and often.

I like federated nature of Lemmy, I like that there is no “private” accounts. This is a feature not a bug.

I’m not trying to argue against privacy, but what you are describing isn’t a privacy issue or an issue at all. It’s a design element. And it’s this design is why I like it here.

As someone here has said, at some point the responsibility has to fall on the user. You don’t need to share anything. As long as the nature of the platform is clear (and it’s a separate discussion) the is no issue to be fixed.

If to you that is seems as an issue, well then maybe you are at the wrong place. And if the platform changes in the direction I don’t agree, I will leave.

How is this conflicting? You are a private person same as I, I don’t know who you are, you don’t know who I am.

How is selective hiding of post and comments privacy?

If you don’t want it to be seen – don’t post it.

mr_satan, 8 months ago

What you’re describing is an issue with all of social media. While your concerns are valid, I don’t see your arguments as privacy issue. I honestly prefer post and comment history being transparent and accessible. It’s much like Reddit and this format fits much better with an open forum style of platform.

Don’t post private information and it’s a non-issue.

Also, can’t you just delete posts and comments like on Reddit?

mr_satan, 8 months ago

How would you ensure other instances are not sharing your content?

To me this seems to be a question of ideology. I came here from Reddit because this is an open forum with transparent history.

Federetion by design ensures that accessibility (as far as I understand, correct me if I’m wrong). This design principle to me is the core. If that seems like an issue maybe this style of social media is not for you.

Oh, I see

mr_satan, 8 months ago

Makes sense, when I think about it

I’ve been running ubuntu and then pop_os for a couple of years now and honestly, I’m surprized how much stuff just works out of the box.
There are times when I need to tinker with the OS to make one thing or another work properly, but proton DB is quite a good resource for that. And I like it so it’s not a big deal if I need to spend an hour messing around with the configurations.

Whatever is the default, as long as that is not some comic sans or whatever that Samsung font abomination was.
