Could be worth looking into Misophonia. Basically it’s an irrational anger response to specific noises that vary person to person. I don’t know enough about it to say how it can be dealt with, but it may be something you could find a specialist for.
I’m imagining the flashback battle in Fellowship, with Sauron blasting groups of soldiers out of the way, just as Darth Vader instead.
To be clear, I’m not saying that OP or anyone else shouldn’t miss what they had on Reddit. There are lots of things Lemmy won’t replicate or explicitly can’t. It was more a comment on the common complaints I see about how this community or that poster or this content is “dominating” their feed (which I discerned hints of in OP’s post), when it’s exceedingly easy to just remove the offending content from said feed. Will it 100% solve everyone’s problems? No. But it will almost certainly improve their experience concerning those complaints.
If you’re uncomfortable with the content you’re seeing, you should be more active in moderating that. Block users, block communities, stick to your subscription feed, etc. People in these spaces so often seem to resign themselves to having to deal with content they don’t like when they can absolutely change it on their own.
Take more autonomy in curating your experience here and you’ll have a much better time.
Some things just completely skew your home page with just a single viewing. I am very careful with my watch history, only watching one off stuff from other sites in a private window. That seems to work well.
Go into the viewing history and wipe it. Then maybe view some more normal stuff to set it on a good track. That should give a good reset for her, though it wouldn’t stop her from just looking it up again, of course.
True!
Online content always seems to provide sub-par quality, even on good connections. Don’t need to worry about that with downloaded media.
Streaming services are bound and determined to make themselves Cable TV all over again. We had it good for a little while, at least.
Those are findings specifically from industrial areas, and specifies that it is levels over 75db that are dangerous for the most sensitive individuals (younger people). I’m not sure what the db exposure for a service on one’s yard would be, but I doubt it’s on the same level as working in a factory.
How would one find this? Is it just a console command?
Obviously not. There are none.
I’m realising blocking communities/magazines is as much a key to a good experience as subscribing to them, of not more.
100%
While I do consider it important to not isolate one’s self too much, we also don’t need to subject ourselves to everything, especially when it’s having a noticeable negative effect.
Gonna be another spike in the next week, so probably not soon, but it will die down.
Excluding admins and devs from the start is just petulant and short sighted. Treating them like the enemy will only encourage them to silo off from the community.
That means it is entirely possible that you could munch on 20 to 40 of these ships in one sitting if you are not paying attention, and consume the equivalent of two to four fresh pickles.
Would you really eat that many fresh pickles in one sitting?
The jist of it would be that, while gaming exclusives have kinda just done their own thing for a while now, MS has invited the scrutiny of government agencies with such a big acquisition. That’s why they are getting the brunt of criticism ATM.
It’ll be interesting to see if that scrutiny spreads to the other big devs as well during all this.
‘Feckless’ isn’t used enough these days.
I don’t think that really has any bearing on the conversation of exclusives, tbh. A work being “good” or “bad” shouldn’t have any influence on if we consider exclusives acceptable.
Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors “engagement” driven algorithms seen on other sites. It’s predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of “rage-bait” content that’s pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.
