thank you for petting Melon❤️

for me I thought it was a smaller cat lying on a bigger cat (with somehow the same color and coat style😂)

looking again 90° counter clockwise it could also look like she’s flexing on everyone💪😸

the attempted wafting 😂
and Moxxi is very cute🤗❤️

when I saw the thumbnail I thought the cat had a blue wizard/witch’s hat for a sec

Hopefully they’ll be able to spin up an alternative studio/publisher that gamedevs can trust

While I’m not sure if the people who quit were part of Anapurna’s previous controversies, this still seems like a poor move from Ellison by losing skilled employees in this fashion

Power to the Anapurna staff that quit✊

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

as a volunteer mod that’s guilty of linkposting I’d honestly say there’s 2 things that would probably encourage fellow linkers to do more which is:

1. Thanking posters who are currently and consistently posting links with additional content/info.
2. Donations
   • honestly financial support goes a long way for higher quality content, like just look at YouTubers or content creators who have Patreon, Kofi, Liberapay in contrast to those who only have sponsors or aren’t paid at all

Enjoy nature before it gets clearcut for money

Does anyone know of a Discord alternative?

cat dog caaat dogg, alone in the world is a little catdog

I regret to say that I don’t know a solution for that; maybe someone here will know better if it’s possible to block built-in ads

I’d recommend using uBlock with Firefox and/or Librewolf

With the multiple ethics violations, defending AI right now is to defend the meat grinder that is willing to churn out cash for those at the top at the expense of literally anything and anyone

Countless similiar situations like this is the reason why I find it difficult to help people/groups that display zero-sum behaviour because even if you help them there’s no telling if they’ll attack you in return

I’d rather spend my time helping people/organizations that are already trustworthy or have proven to be reciprocal towards others regardless of status or wealth

the game was rigged from the start meow :3

well fuck you Sam Altman

you can still edit the link to remove the timestamp btw~

not sure if it would work but how about randomly giving treats when they’re occasionally quiet?

because I trainsurf it means I always have a spot in ‘no man’s land’(where there’s no handrails or anything) plus it frees up a seat/leaning spot(- not sure if there’s a word for this) for someone else

it was a weird/fun thing and now it’s just useful (great for practicing snowboarding)

if

instance protectionism

is occurring due to prisoner’s dilemma then there also exists a sustainable positive-sum solution as the fediverse and Lemmy is playing by the rules of the infinite prisoner’s dilemma:
