The majority of the aluminum in circulation in the US is recycled. It’s significantly more than even glass and paper. The reason is because it’s much cheaper to use recycled aluminum than raw.

But you’re right when it comes to plastic.

It’s not exclusive to older generations unfortunately.

I think there’s a lot of self selection going on. Most people who migrated here did it based on principles (or a persecution complex), so of course they will have lots of political opinions, often extreme. Frankly, it’s getting a little tiring seeing it everywhere. Even on gaming subs it seems like every other post results in a discussion about the evils of capitalism.

I don’t think so. I mean, some publications might, but big ones like Bloomberg and Reuters have acknowledged since the IPO that the major investors believe it is well overvalued. IIRC they reported that Fidelity and Blackrock gave it a $5B valuation. I recall another major investor cited the difficulty of feeding paid ads to its user base in the current community based format, and unsuccessful attempts to push profile/user centric “feeds” (similar to Facebook and Twitter) instead.

Yeah I like mine a lot. There’s not a lot of small phones nowadays that aren’t just meant to be as cheap as possible.

Downvoted for stating an easily verifiable fact lol

What’s crap about it? I really like mine. Small, thin, snappy, good battery, never heats up. Beats the hell out of my Zenfone.

There’s the 2nd gen SE although they said it sold poorly.

Sometimes it does seem like everyone’s on a soapbox or cynical crusade about some shit or another and you’re a bad person if you don’t know or care.

Lots of places on Reddit and Twitter also feel that way. I think it’s just an inherent part of mass online interaction.

Idk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.

I guess it’s combined 25k since I got the message. A massive number of casual users will qualify for that considering Reddit has been around for over a decade.

Are they really just spamming out a scam email to hundreds of thousands of their users? They can’t get a good enough valuation with real investors so they’re banking on having enough non-financially savvy people in their massive user base to be able to cash out with a valuation they know is bullshit? Really?

Considering there are legal requirements to become an accredited investor for private companies, I’m surprised something like this (and on this scale) is even allowed. Isn’t this fraud?

I got one even though I deleted all my posts and comments months ago. I have not engaged on Reddit since then.

Also, what is the threshold? I only have 14k post and 19k comment karma which is pretty low considering the size and age of Reddit. I don’t think I’ve ever even posted anything in a large sub, just niche hobby ones.

Are they just asking everyone now?

Oh cool, I didn’t realize that was possible. That would be a great reason to use the plugin. I never really play non controller supported games with the Deck, so I just have the track pads set to mouse and scroll for the occasional desktop task on the host and the paddles set to Moonlight shortcuts.

Is there still an advantage to doing it this way after the desktop Big Picture update? Is it different than using the controller configuration menu on the host PC?

I don’t think they care about this feature. Presumably, they don’t see enough people using it to justify properly maintaining it, much less improving it.

As others have said, Moonlight + Sunshine works much better. Add Moonlight as a non-Steam game on your Deck and set it to launch Big Picture directly on your host. That’s my setup and it’s pretty seamless. Ever since the Big Picture update for the desktop client, I forget I’m even streaming sometimes because the interface is the same.

It’s a great game by all measures, but it really feels more like a sequel to the last two Divinity games rather than the Baldur’s Gate series. The only thing it really has in common with the old games is the setting, a few recurring characters, and the fact that it’s based on D&D. Otherwise, they are about as different as CRPGs can get.

If you want a spiritual successor to the old infinity engine games, look at the two Pillars of Eternity games and the two Pathfinder games.

Wow I guess they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

There’s a ton of these accounts. They gather karma with scripts that randomly repost top 100 all time posts on big subs and then delete them so their account looks clean. Then they sell it to ad companies that post client sanctioned posts and comments and get paid based on user engagement with the brand.

Check out r/hailcorporate. A huge portion of Reddit is just guerrilla advertising.

From the article:

It is unclear if the claim of “at Gamescom” means that Nintendo will be holding a Nintendo Direct the week of the show (22nd to the 27th of August) or if the company with announce a potential Switch 2 at a Gamescom event, such as Geoff Keighley’s co-run Opening Night Live event on the 22nd of August.

The Switch was announced via a tweet in 2016, only a handful of months before the console’s release

I disagree. While I do like that the discussions and top level comments are not nearly as homogenized as Reddit eventually became, I’m really missing the niche communities. I wasn’t subscribed to any large subs on Reddit, so my feed was basically just a curated list of discussions for my hobbies. No memes, news, pop culture, internet drama, or politics. Right now, that’s just not possible on Lemmy due to the low population.
