  • Spartans were way better trained as being royalty who should have been exclusively occupied with warfare in addition to their own propaganda that they were invaders and that the helots would betray them first time they could.

    Practicing on live helots, being barred from politics until you were old enough and the puritanism all played into making them the most formidable.

    I think that despite spartan losses, they almost always had the edge in the training and morale for the average citizen.

    Sparta feels like if the Navy seals lead a state. The Shogunate feels more like a long lived junta with feudalism.



  • The issue with what you did is that your data or info will get eventually replicated, but it has negligible chances of ending up on a site you deem worthy with the reddit debacle in mind.

    Social sites come and go. Information is somewhat more important and valuable.

    That is why most of what was done “aganist” reddit was a pretty rash decision. Congrats, you fucked (or at least tried) over reddit and now this info will eventually become available on the next shitty platform in line.

    Not like you need traction on lemmy because it is full of barely alive subs even now. Sure, just get rid of info out of personal anger towards a platform…












  • My main concern has always been for services to be “hands-off”, dont bother me, do not tell me how to use stuff.

    Valve? They provide the best motherfucking linux support for all games in general I have ever had, it is a privilege to have their software occupy my SSD real estate. Most games I pirate because I dont have hundreds of dollars to spend on them when it comes to DLC (paradooox). Also Im bad at committing to a game and actually finishing it up.

    Netflix? Spotify? Crunchyroll? I wont pay for shit I cant play through my own video players, on my own terms.
