The microtransaction concept was made decades before Bethesda’s horse armor which had gamers everywhere in a rage. Now look at us, I’m on Lemmy because reddit has Microtransactions.

Postmortal_Pop ,

It took 6 years to get fed up enough to make something better happen. That’s how tolerant we are. Right now we’re not going to tolerate this, but a thousand cuts from now, we might and Sony is already prepared.

There are sea snails living near volcanic vents that metabolize the extra iron into shells and plating. I expect we’ll see a similar adaptation at some point. Simple organisms issuing plastic in some sort of process that toughens their shells. If left unchecked we may see an evolutionary leap as more things adapt, and a die off as plastic becomes a finite resource. Future generations may argue the merits of artificially supporting the microplastic ecosystem in the same vein that we argue about reducing it.

You guys wouldn’t happen to have any tips on DVD ripping would you? I’d like to go all digital but I just can’t make Handbrake work.

Postmortal_Pop ,

That’s my route. Mods run on pirate skyrim just as well as legal and the best missions in Bethesda games aren’t made by Bethesda.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Must’ve been some strong jack…

So, I’m not exactly well versed in all this, could you fill me in on what threats Huawei poses to I, a random poor person going about my day in the US?

I refuse to believe a Corp or the NSA isn’t already looking over my shoulder, and with nothing to steal, wouldn’t using Huawei tech be like picking between McDonald’s and Wendy’s? Same product, different flavor sort of situation?

I get that, but I’m taking on a practical point. I, a warm body behind a counter of a franchise in the Midwest, am not privy to any valuable corporate information that can’t be gleamed by simply walking into the store. We don’t have WiFi and I can’t plug my phone in. What is the espionage device in my pocket actually going to do to me on my day to day life of browsing Lemmy and playing music?

Postmortal_Pop ,

OK, but in this metaphor I’m not a boxer, in a guy who watched part of rocky 2 and if you mugged me you’d find 3 pennies and a d20. I’m not even the ant unfortunately crushed in the machinations of these entities, I’m the dust in the grease among the cogs.

In a practical sense it is a waste of time and resources for either of them to record my life, but if the China phone has a prettier ui and a cheaper pricetag it would be a huge improvement for me personally. Could one Midwest honky with a foreign phone and no free time genuinely cause any damage?

Postmortal_Pop ,

Yeah, I’d vote Harris without complaint. That’s basically our closest path to normality.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Honestly I think that’s a great example of just how low my bar is at this point, younger than ancient and not trump is enough to get me excited.

Is "food" a social construct?

Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”....

Postmortal_Pop ,

I’d accept the structures within what we define as food being a social construct. Status as fruit or vegetable doesn’t qualify it is healthy as we tend to assume. A potato is a plant and it has more in common with a loaf of bread, a yellow banana has less good in it than a Snickers bar.

Food in total though, that’s a defined thing. Glass isn’t food because we’ve agreed as a society not to eat it, it’s not food because we can’t process it in any meaningful way.

Frankly, they could rebuild skyrim with the fallout 4 mechanics for base building, shared item storage for crafting, weapon modding, and for shits and giggles throw in steam centurions being unobtainable dwemer power armor frames.

Fuck, sell me basic ass skyrim but integrate the top 30 mods on nexus into the base game. It’s honestly not hard to do better then they’re doing.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Don’t get me stated on how fucking dumb it is that everyone everywhere just immediately turns to murder. Crime isn’t something I have a problem with, so when I say I’ve never committed a murder it’s not because the pesky laws are stopping me. I just genuinely don’t see the need to kill someone. But no, everyone and their mom is going full zodiac all day all night if it went for laws!

Postmortal_Pop ,

I want two things from star wars, lightsaber fights and mandalorians. The pre-quals are the best source of both.

Postmortal_Pop ,

State mandated fun!

Postmortal_Pop ,

Don’t Do Crimes

Judges hate him for this one easy trick!

Postmortal_Pop ,

Shit, how do I do it??

Postmortal_Pop ,

There a lemmy spot for that? I found the data hoarding community on reddit just before they killed 3rd party apps and have been wanting to find my people again since.

Postmortal_Pop ,

How does Finland handle naturalization? I’m not well off by any measure but I’m more than happy to jump through every hoop to get out of my shit hole nation.

Any 3DS/2DS fans here? (lemmy.world)

Guys I am a diehard DS fan and just ordered a super inexpensive clip on shell case for my 2DS XL and just wanted to share. If there are any Zelda fans out there looking to dress up and protect their 2DS XL, then you gotta check this one out. It’s being sold by numerous vendors at various prices so I suspect it all comes from...

Postmortal_Pop ,

I’m new to the hacked 3ds world and I absolutely love it! The last gameboy I owned was the advanced sp and the 3ds is like a time capsule of the best period of gaming history. I desperately want to start building shell mods fix their wobbly screen though.

Postmortal_Pop ,

I’ll need to crack it open and look at it, but from what I’ve seen I may be able to slot some rubber gaskets into the hinge to hold tension. It will feel more like modern laptop screens that way.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Why do you need money if you can manifest anything you can imagine?

Postmortal_Pop ,

I apologize now for the hostility I’m about to through your way, but this is probably the post the upsets new the most on this thread. You have 4 paragraphs and 864 words, explaining a fantastically well thought out premise and long term plan that is so absolutely achievable that you could literally do this right now with a like $100k extra.

With a mix of imagination and diligent scanning you could make yourself your own distinct content with no long term tectonic impact on the planet and a technocratic government that runs everything with a goal of perfect balance between human comfort and long term global stability. You could retire there with your family within the first year to watch your children grow up as the first generation of a true utopia.

You could populate the universe with so many tardigrades that the simulation you exist in crashes, or place a bowl of soup on the head of every cat on the planet, or make a new constellation to name after your wife, but instead the real life version of God mode isn’t actually part of your 10 year plan. It’s just a well managed lottery win. It’s this what those wackos are talking about when they preach about internalizing the system? Because if so they’re a lot less nuts than I originally thought.

Get off lemmy, do some research into properties in Alaska and gold speculation. This is so genuinely possible of a life goal that I genuinely believe you deserve to achieve it.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Why mess with money at all? Make food, make water, make shelter, make legal documents verifying your ownership, hell, make people if you need to.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Couldn’t you just make people to deal with those people? They want you to build an army, they can’t stop you from making it fiercely loyal to you.

Postmortal_Pop ,

But part two states you can create carbon copies of anything you scan or create new things from your imagination. Part one states that touching things all the details of it within the simulation are encoded into your brain.

It serves to reason if you sampled a dozen different woods, you could manifest a wholly unique wood using your knowledge of how the other woods work within the system.

You don’t even need to understand how they work in our reality, just how the simulation handles them. So if you can figure how the simulation codes the processor on your phone, you could then generate the highest possible specs in a processor and manifest it into your phone. The unwritten rule here has that you can instantly learn everything, the rest of the simulation is yours to bend.

Postmortal_Pop ,

This is the kind of drama I want from Twitter. Nothing to do with presidents.

Postmortal_Pop ,

I got cut off by a minivan one time so I guess Biden is saying I have carde blanc to run every minivan I see off the road.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Yeah, that’s the French I was looking for!

Postmortal_Pop ,

I don’t think I could afford keeping her around just to remind me though.

Postmortal_Pop ,

I live in my house, they don’t.

Postmortal_Pop ,

OK, but the salt and pepper make a difference.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Yeah, plus the diamond cartel probably doesn’t need competition, they have a hard enough time keeping the rock relevant.

You’d be better off asking for shoeboxes of more common materials so you could skirt the inevitable questions on the matter and not get flagged as a counterfeiter or something. Though personally, the majority of things I’m interested in owning can fit in a shoebox anyways so why not cut out the middleman?

Postmortal_Pop , (edited )

So I did the napkin math, if you pick two random pills and two random pills, there’s a 19.05% chance to get something objectively bad, a 28.57% chance of getting something useless, and a 52.38% chance of getting something objectively good for a total 80.95% chance to get something not bad. Assuming infinite loops are banned and you don’t have a genuine interest in a given pill, 4 random pills is the best call.

There’s also a 2.27% chance of getting 2 random pills on each of those 4 tries.

Postmortal_Pop ,

I’ve been preaching this about “moist” for years. I genuinely haven’t found anyone with an aversion to it who disliked the word before dislike of it became a part of the cultural fabric.

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

Postmortal_Pop ,

It’s my biggest gripe against the left. Imagine betting your life on a game of football where one side is playing no contact tag rules and the other is playing full lethality death ball rules. We’ll sit here and talk about how they’re not playing fair, but pride parades won’t march with guns. We’ll cry about how horrid it is that they force their religion into our schools but we won’t use the same system to fight it.

The left will die for their beliefs, but the right will kill for them. Only one of those methods leaves survivors.

Postmortal_Pop ,

The second option protects it from the bronies.

US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

Postmortal_Pop ,

So, depressingly, he already has it. He’s the only candidate running so I have to vote for him if I’m going to vote at all.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Universal basic income and free Healthcare. Or 100% tax on anyone with more than 1 million dollars and any corporation with profits of more than 1 million dollars.

If any of those options were on the docket I’d Jan6 the election to make sure it happens.

Postmortal_Pop ,

While I have my opinions on it conceptually, I’ll be the first to state I don’t have the know how to build it. I do know that $1k a month would give me a life without stress or burden and $4k a month is more than I could spend responsibility. So ideally between those. Maybe calculate the cost of living in an area annually and just give that.

Postmortal_Pop ,

That’s kind of the point though isn’t it? It’s not the car’s fault we can’t afford the gas. We need to stop arguing about the ethics of using AI and start arguing about the ethics of the people using it unethically.

There is a person in that studio that suggested using AI, there is a person who gave the go ahead to do it. Those people need to be the problem, not the toy they decided to play with.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Honestly, I’d argue that that’s exactly what AI should be for. Either being used by that one guy to give voices to his passion project because he can’t afford to hire voice actors, or to add a touch of the uncanny to an AI character.

Postmortal_Pop ,

OK but let’s talk about the practical thing, how do I, a random American, get one?

Postmortal_Pop ,

Just burn the school down, they clearly haven’t been using it.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Oh cool, I didn’t know they used it in final fantasy! That’s a fun fact.

Postmortal_Pop ,

You can get the spray glands surgically removed and after that they’re somewhere between a cat and a ferret. I’ve always wanted one, but they’re illegal here on account of being scavengers.
