Second had nice ideas too but very different, not a coorpg anymore and more an actually MMO. PvP was very disappointing, they didn’t keep anything from the 1, probably because it was too elitist. For me the massification made me feel like I was insignificant, I didn’t like it much, I did a bit of the campaign and that’s it.

I think it’s a much much smaller player base. It was successful, but WoW was a mind blowing success.

Such a great online game with original ideas and one of the most diversed and interesting PvP of its genre.

Also a bit buggy in Firefox desktop on Linux.

Damn, I didn’t know Reuters produced this kind of graphical article, it is really cool.

Only if they come from Wink, Winkler County, Texas. Otherwise they are just sparkling eyelead carrier and receiver.

Agreed, especially if you’re writing to someone who’s not completely fluent in the language. Also use short sentences and common vocabulary.

Edit: Couldn’t see the other pictures, but it was just slow to load.

That’s the most convincing explanation I have read, thank you!

The point is to better match the current pronunciation bəl, not change the pronunciation.

I am French, I know that. Let me expend the title to make it easier to understand.

In American English, words of French origin like “meter” (American English) inverted the last letters of “metre” (British English from French “mètre”) to better match the English pronunciation. Why isn’t it also the case for other similar situations like “possible”?

Are stupid non researched hypothesis allowed? I had in my mind: maybe those roles come from times when life was more violent, so having a strength advantage due to biology was an obvious way to hold power and impose rules that benefit your group/gender. I feel this somehow connects to emotional behaviors that may be required for war and politics, such as not showing your weaknesses. Then you have centuries of cultural development, such as religions, that created layers of justification for the social order that benefited the people in power, even when the physical strength advantage is not relevant anymore, and that’s what we consider tradition.
Reality is probably more complicated.
Is patriarchy and the emotional difference really specific to Western society, if we compare to Arabic, Indian or Chinese traditional cultures, for example?

Snowden was an IT expert, it certainly helps. His book is a great read.

In Japan, they won’t say much to your face, but they will say you’re impolite, useless and should get fired in the internet reviews, if you didn’t treat them like royalty from beginning to end.

I guess there are issues with the post formats, micro blog and forum styles are quite different, and there’s probably a cultural friction between people who like community based pseudonymous forums and strongly personified social media.
Let’s hope we can one day have a common share place for information with UIs adapted to every tastes.

Even if we can’t trust those numbers, you can just check their frontages and see the number of posts and comments per day, it’s much more active.

And if Lemmy was really connected to the fediverse we wouldn’t have 1K users but lot more.

How could it be more connected?

I’m not following the proportion point, but about non-US on reddit, r/france has 2.1 M readers and r/de has 2.7 M readers. They are very active, it completely dwarves anything on Lemmy. Any national subject is going to be discussed there. I am not using those by activism, but I can’t blame the average person to prefer those vastly more active places.

I think it’s good to have them doing their own things, but it is just not big enough to be as entertaining and wide-covering as Reddit. j’ai.lu feels more like a forum with 50 active members that you would check once a week.
