I love it!

I think I agree with you - I don’t understand why it needed to be said.

It’s kind of condescending to both their own customers and those of Baldur’s Gate 3 that they feel they need to explain that different games are different 🙄

Also, whilst I may be in a minority on this, I’m primarily rating a game on its story and gameplay (obviously I’d also like it not to be as buggy as hell). Since all games should be starting on an even footing with that (you need at least 1 creative human brain), you can’t blame studio size. There are plenty of great games with small budgets. And plenty of crap games with big budgets.

I like that you’ve mentioned Skyrim - part of its success (and longevity) has been the ecosystem of mods that built up around it. But I think we all understand that not every game develops this same ecosystem, and we don’t need that explained to us in Twitter threads, just like we didn’t need it explaining to us how budgets work.

Scientists don’t publish “alarmist claims without data”. They publish scientific research which is reviewed by their peers and then built on or contradicted as needed. Scientists can’t just make stuff up - their papers are reviewed before they’re published and if they write crap, it doesn’t pass review. There have been several studies since the first paper on this so the link seems fairly robust.

Had you read the article and understood how science works, you’d have learnt that the the patients all had a form of cancer caused by asbestos, and their only exposure was via talc. You’d have also learnt that courts had already upheld the findings in previous litigation with expert testimony (this is where courts listen to scientists who provide evidence to support or refute the claims being made). So at this current stage there’s little doubt that the science is right, both in the scientific literature and in law (though of course there may be a missing piece of information that has not yet come to light).

Finally, I’d like to comment on your absurd remark “sometimes… was found to cause cancer”. Asbestos is an extremely dangerous carcinogen (thing that causes cancer), which is why we regulate it nowadays. The cancers are awful and often kill within 12 months of onset. It is frankly inhuman to suggest that any contamination of a product would be acceptable unless you’re the only one volunteering to die a horrible death.

If you’re not going to read the article or show any compassion for fellow humans then maybe don’t comment and let the mature adults discuss the issues instead.

Have you noticed your left and right arrow keys are the wrong way round on the Monsgeek? Flagging just in case you haven’t spotted it!

The Nestle boycott wasn’t founded due to exploitation of employees, unions, etc. They’re shitty and do all that stuff (and far more). But the boycott was specifically founded (in the 1970s) due to their decision to relentlessly market baby formula to vulnerable mothers, particularly in less developed countries, often in times of famine or hardship. They knowingly caused health problems in infants (who of course then grew into adults with health problems), probably caused many infant deaths, and pushed families into poverty (with all the consequences of that), for profit. 50 years later we’re still dealing with the consequences of their immoral marketing (which has never really stopped, they just change the messaging in order to comply with relevant laws, which are too weak).

I’d boycott them just for that, but they’re also the corporation who in both U.S. and European hearings has argued that water isn’t a human right and pushed to privatise community resources, at a time when water scarcity is one of the main long-term threats to many countries, including the U.S. and many European countries.

Other companies do this stuff too, but generally speaking they’ve done it for less time and are less brazen about it.

Maybe stop eating shampoo then. (= They partly own L’Oréal, and by extension all the L’Oréal brands: Garnier, Maybelline, Vichy, Biotherm, etc.)

To your actual point though: A) that depends on which country you live in, given that their products are manufactured differently in each country/region. B) it does also depend on what brand you’re referring to. I find it highly unlikely you dislike EVERYTHING in the Nestle machine. Hot Pockets? Perrier water? Nerds? Smarties??

I don’t think your question is so much about the keycaps - plenty of keycap sets are available that include Mac keys. Your question should be which keyboards are compatible with MacOS, because not all are.

For example, I built a Feker Alice but even though it’s advertised as Mac compatible, the software was for Windows, it didn’t connect correctly and I ended up having to flash it on a Windows PC I was able to borrow. It works now but I’ve been unable to customise the keys as I’d intended, and I’ve learnt my lesson about checking Mac compatibility.

I get most my news via the MPU (Mac Power Users) forum. If it’s important/interesting enough, someone will start a thread.

Lemmy will still be receiving stragglers. E.g. I only signed up yesterday! I only went on Reddit once every few weeks or so, and thus only just found out where my communities had migrated to. I’m sure there are many users like me who haven’t yet followed their communities to their new homes.

Hehe I am left-handed and live alone but I’ve noticed guests hesitate when they open my cutlery drawer. Spoons aren’t such an issue, but there’s a little element of danger when a right-handed person goes to retrieve a knife 🤣 (My chopping knives are arranged horizontally like OP’s spoons.)

One crawled behind my computer monitor screen and died, right in the middle, last summer, so I feel your pain 😂 Plus they’re itchy. But they should disappear again in a few weeks.

They are thrips. Depending on where you are if there are a lot it’s most likely because you’re in a rural-ish area and the harvests are starting to be brought in. E.g. where I am this is very common at this time of year because of the heat and the crops grown round here. Not much to be done about it, just nature…
