It’s honestly insane that (even as rarely as it’s relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of “latine”. All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I’m being told that there’s been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I’m trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I’m in. I can just say latine.

Because it is, somehow, an actually very well made game. One of those things where I first just learned about the anime and just thought that sounds dumb, but man the game is actually fun. Also the recent spinoff anime series (cinderella gray) was actually just a very good sports anime.

Not how that works. Not how any of that works.

I skimmed over the full text earlier, it gives reasons for why it was the gravest crime against humanity, and in general did seem like it meant the gravest that ever happened (that we know of at least).

It also mentions (and really is about) reparations which I suspect mightve influenced the abstains even more than the assertion that it was the gravest crime. Easier to weasel yourself out of doing anything/keep reparations low if you can say you never really voted yes on that.

Maybe because it’s an unreleased game, so regardless of dislike for previous iterations you can’t really judge it.

Also there’s a difference between “I wish these games were good” and “I wish I liked these games”. Like no shit you’re going into a thread only interesting to people that like a series and say “the series sucks” completely unprompted, adding nothing of value. Of course you’ll get booed out of the room.

Does the steamdeck use NTFS? That would seem like a very strange decision, and it does explicitly mention steamdeck support.

Yes, and the laws (so far) are exactly that: you input an age, and provide that age to applications that want it. No further identity verification or anything.

I don’t like the law for the precedent but as it stands it’s a harmless, potentially even useful feature.

I doubt it, honestly. It’d likely catch a lot of misinfo, yes, but it would likely also classify any new findings that run counter to previous assumptions as misinfo. LLMs can’t keep up to date. And they still have the same issue that whoever trains them gets to decide what is and isn’t misinfo, which starts being a problem when it’s an ubiquitous social media site.

I’d imagine the crazy neighbour is russia. I think they qualify, and the country is in europe.

What’s funny to me is that russia also borders the US. It’s not a land border, but the gap isn’t exactly huge.

Counterpoint: Being against celebrating someones death if I think their existence was actively harmful to society was never a principle of mine in the first place.

I agree with the sentiment though. The concept of people being principled in general and trying to divorce those principles from their opinions of an individual seems very foreign to most people.

From my knowledge it was just a logistics problem, mass killings are far easier to do then sending millions of people to a faraway country. And probably cheaper.

And yes, this has some grim implications about the current situation in the US.

I have the same issue on connect (started a week or two ago I think), so might not be app specific but something with lemmy itself

There’s also an incredibly mysoginistic culture in many competitive games. Good luck using a mic as a woman playing CS, for example.

Completely agree though, more women in leadership and even just dev is a good thing, but for the most part people don’t really care who made a product, only how much they like it.

It’s likely not that this attitude results from his politics, but that his politics result from the same views that result in this attitude. It’s a narrow world view, perpetuated by propaganda and the american civil religion (not that this is exclusive to the US, but it sure seems prevalent there).

Ignore him best you can, and do what makes you happy. Not sure if there’s a way to convince him to help you save for it, but if he thinks that murica is the greatest country on earth, it seems unlikely he’d ever support you wanting to leave that - temporarily or permanently.

They don’t license the samples that an artist might’ve licensed, but they “sell” them as part of the song. The same braindead logic from the lawsuit can be applied here.

That’s not what fascism is either lol

I wouldn’t call china fascist, though doubtlessly authoritarian. But I don’t have nearly as much info on china, it seems to me the persecution of minorities is less of a central political scapegoat and more some weird side thing. But without speaking chinese, I might be wrong. The US had plenty of fascist characteristics at this point and is rather open about the persecution.

It’s just p2w with extra steps. Pay to get stronger, or pay someone to play for you to get stronger. When games are designed to either make you play a lot or pay to get stuff to make you stronger, some people will gladly pay to either feel powerful, or just skip enough of the grind that they can focus on what’s fun.

I kind of get it, but at the point where I’d be spending hundreds or make someone play for me, I’d just look for a different game.

Just fyi you cannot really stop seeding completely, torrents work in tiny chunks and the moment you have one of them you can provide it to others.

My problem isn’t my job, I am completely fine with that, it’s the way I barely function in my personal life, and a lot of that isn’t related to the structure of our society at all. There could be less friction in a few places yes but that wouldn’t completely fix my issues either.
