Not naive at all! That is a genuinely good question with a rather dissatisfying answer: it depends. 'Most' is the tricky word there. It feels a bit like recycling, where you make it a habit but it isn't always easy to see the benefits of the effort, if that makes sense. The work is bound by the client and the code, and the client is usually mostly concerned with the budget. I always make an effort to push better materials and practices, while also going above and beyond on building envelope and HVAC systems to make the houses I design as efficient as possible, then pricing comes in and a lot of that is the first to go. I'm probably doing the most I can at my current job. I could probably do more at a more climate positive firm (not always easy depending on location). I might be able to do a lot more abandoning the mainstream practice of architecture altogether and finding a job that utilizes at least some of my existing skillset, but what that means isn't always clear. Hope that answered your question! Apologies for rambling

Hey remember when you promised to give me that $100? Don't tell me your memory has changed to support the narrative that you've forgotten!
The most recent time I went to get glasses, I asked about blue light frames and the guy stopped me and said something along the lines of, "Don't bother, they're actually bs unless you get the ones with super yellow lenses - those are legit. Or use computer programs to make your screen orange, that can also help. Folks just wanted to find a way to charge more for glasses, and it's been twisted so you actually sound more informed for getting blue light coatings. You'll notice that I didn't mention blue light or even pitch it to you - you brought it up on your own."
Thought that was kind of fascinating and kinda cool of the salesman to talk me out of spending more money.
They sound minor, they look hilarious, but then your smile fades as whatever is causing the bug blocks input to try and get past it, forcing a reload. I'm LOVING this game, but out of the 20 or so hours I've been able to sink into it since launch, a solid 2-3 of those hours have been retracing steps or generally trying to circumvent big bugs.
(Full disclosure: I am playing exclusively on the Steam Deck which I am 99.9% certain is the reason for all of the bugs I face)
Yup. Folks looking for stuff to be salty about. Those admins were protecting their hides and had every right to do so. Hosting carries risks. What could have been handled better was communicating this (a day or three beforehand + not on Discord lmao). The people acting like this is some sort of unforgivable problem are just being dorks. Don't like it? Pop onto a new instance. It's easy and is a perfect example as to why Lemmy is great.
Edit: Worth mentioning that the piracy community is among the most active groups on the entire platform. As a viable alternative to reddit, I don't think piracy being the face of Lemmy is a great look. Newcomers may start on LW and never need or want this community. Those who want it WILL find it.
Neat. I never need a VPN for more than a few days at a time, but if I ever sub to one long term I'll keep this in mind.
