  • Modern medicine is amazing rule

  • I really dont understand how anyone can look at the modern era of politics without a consideration for game theory, it is so useful for resolving these more nebulous or philosophical idea when it comes to thought conflicts. If your 'opponent' is constantly escalating and you arent responding, you are functionally forfeiting. and we all know the fascists are escalating as often and as hard as they can. if you seek peace or de-escalation you have to negotiate, and they wont do that. if you seek neutral ground you have to respond with equal escalation. and if you want to win you have to apply overwhelming force.

    most conflicts in politics are not zero sum like this so its not a useful tool most of the time, but fascists are literally out for the destruction of democracy by definition, its existential by nature.

  • "D-do the voice, Morty, I'm burp I'm almost there"

    Jump

  • In case anyone is unfamiliar:

    https://mashable.com/article/rick-and-morty-season-7-justin-roiland-replacement

    'Rick and Morty' is recasting Justin Roiland for Season 7

    Justin Roiland's term as the titular offbeat pairing of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith is truly over, with the show officially on the hunt for a new replacement voice actor(opens in a new tab). The co-creator and star of Adult Swim phenom Rick and Morty was booted from the show earlier this year, following the public unveiling of felony domestic violence charges and a widespread denouncement of inappropriate and abusive behavior among cast and crew. On Jan. 24, the show announced Roiland's departure and reassured fans that the show would continue. The charges against Roiland have since been dismissed. <(at least this one has, good legal ass covering mashable lmao)

  • FTC loses again, Microsoft is now clear to close the Activision-Xbox deal in the US

    Jump

  • The laws are the problem here, the FTC's legal case and legal argument was dogshit. The moral one isnt, but that solution lies with congress and they are gridlocked on actual anti competitive laws by corpo-suckers that are only 75% republican

  • what AI tool do you mostly use Bard or ChatGPT

    Jump

  • This is a bit close minded and reductive when you can see a large number is examples where these tools beat the shit out of search engines, and search engines have been on a precipitous decline in quality for years now. Not talking shit; the privacy concerns are very valid and i dont think there is anything at all wrong with an anti-ai stance in these areas, I just don't want novices reading this and thinking these tools are "glorified keyboard autocorrect" when some near version of them is undoubtedly the future of both internet search and internet assistant.

  • Non right-wing tech podcasts?

    Jump

  • The WAN show is a great option for a one stop shop for broad tech stuff. It is often very long but they add very clear chapters to the youtube video that make it easy to jump to the stuff that interests you. Luke is a software developer/manager so he is fairy knowledgeable in that realm, and Linus is a very transparent CEO of a tech media company, so the coverage is actually very good between the two of them. Just dont expect in depth conversations about RHEL forks and node.js code efficiency and stuff, its very much meant to be consumed by regular tech enthusiasts and not hyper deep code monkeys.

  • r/The_Donald now on Lemmy (edit: not anymore)

    Jump

  • hoping to avoid viewpoints you don’t agree with entirely

    the viewpoint "these immigrants need to be gunned down and trans people need to be eradicated" are not things i "dont agree with entirely" they are a vile evil toxin that cannot be tolerated.

    the sh.itjust.works admin has the right to administer their instance however they want

    yeah obviously, idk who is pretending otherwise?

  • Joe Biden’s Student Debt Plan Didn’t Have to Be Such a Disaster

    Jump

  • Headline doing backflips to put the blame on Biden(or making it seem that way) when this whole thing is a republican disaster top to bottom. GOP congress refused more robust fixes, GOP congress filed the complaint, and GOP supreme court is going to fuck us all over. Again. But yeah this is Joe's fault.

  • Hoping Starfield won't force me into base-building / micromanaging like Fallout 4 did

    Jump

  • I've played about 500ish hours of fallout 4, like 10 or so characters.

    Unless I am blackhole-ing something, you are "forced" to do the base building stuff twice, for a total of like 8 minutes. Once at sanctuary at the beginning and once at the big fort to get into the armory. I don't really count the occasional times you have to build a single radio tower to finish capturing a settlement, especially because it's part of the radiant quests that aren't real quests. And because it takes 30 seconds.

  • Microsoft is no longer making Xbox One games

    Jump

  • Can't fucking believe they didn't just do this, starting with the previous gen:

    Xbox S1 and Xbox X1. Then current gen would be Xbox S2 and Xbox X2, and so on forever. Mid cycle refreshes can be S2.5 or X2.5. refer to the generation as generation 2 or generation 3.

    . Or if they were really assed about Sony having higher numbers (ive seen this theory floated) then start with S5 and X5, fine whatever.

    The current naming convention literally looks like the result of a bet between marketing departments at Nintendo and Microsoft of "hey I bet I can get the CEO to sign off on the stupidest fucking naming scheme"

  • Lead lighting artist on the new Fable, commenting on people's skepticism regarding the trailer.

    Jump

  • This "classic tale" you mention has basically only happened once or twice, as long as I'm understanding you.

    If you mean "often times scenimatic cgi trailers look nothing like the game" then yeah that's fair.

    If you mean "this in engine trailer looks way better than the game that launched as far as fidelity is concerned" then there are no legitimate examples I've seen besides Watch Dogs 1. The spiderman puddle was a complete hallucination, as was every other example I've seen.

  • Payday 3 is already on sale, so get it cheap while you can

    Jump

  • i dont know that i agree with your second point, the gunplay looks so much less unpleasant from the trailer they just showed off. payday 2 feels almost like a roblox or browser fps, and 3 looks like a more proper modern game in terms of animation and speed. its a really important aspect of any shooter, hell its 99% of the reason Destiny players stick with that game, similar with call of duty. god knows it isnt the actual game design.

  • What do you think of Hacker News?

    Jump

  • It's fine and worth visiting, unless there are topics related to economics or business and then you can REALLY tell the site is filled with silicon valley bros

  • What are all your thoughts on TotK vs BotW?

    Jump

  • Frog suit is such an ass pain to get though, you've basically finished the game by the time you get it, unless you literally just focus it down early

  • What are all your thoughts on TotK vs BotW?

    Jump

  • I would legit use a mod that changes the master sword slightly: no longer breaks, but the weapon power you get from fusing is significantly lowered, so it's never going to be the highest DPS option. I know this doesn't feel great diageticaly but I like it a lot more than "your sword is tired, put it away for a few minutes"

  • Thoughts on Lemmy sorting options?

    Jump

  • I'm on jerboa, and like others are saying "active" is pretty ass and 'hot' is okay. My main actual complaint is the inability to sort comments! Please God, I'm tired of seeing the rare hateful message with 1/2 up votes on top, and then a more normal good comment with 50 up votes beneath it. Going to be a real problem for onboarding people and optics.

  • Is anyone here daily driving an obscure OS like HaikuOS, ReactOS, MorphOS, etc?

    Jump

  • If the developer hadn't gone off the deep end and lost control of his mind I actually think he was primed to make a massive impact on the industry. So much talent wasted

  • Bethesda Releases Full List Of Starfield PC Specs

    Jump

  • This is actually shockingly low, I wonder if that means it's decently optimized or has a "potato mode" setting. 125gb storage though, gonna be a beeeeeg boy

  • Baby Steps Reveal Trailer - thoughts?

    Jump

  • I actually have a mild excitement for it, I have enjoyed the creators past work
