The focus groups on whether or not using the term genocide would lose or gain support finally reported in.

A reminder that even the good politicians fucking aren’t.

I like the windows delete philosophy of asking me before I delete something.

I fucking hate the windows delete philosophy of telling me I don’t have access after I said yes.

biggest cultural industry at the moment

I wish you guys would stop making me defend corporations. Doesn’t matter how big they are, doesn’t matter their influence, claiming that they are responsible for someone breaking the law because someone else wrote something that set them off and they, as overlords, didn’t swoop in to stop it is batshit.

Since you don’t like those comparisons, I’ll do one better. This is akin to a man shoving someone over a railing and trying to hold the landowners responsible for not having built a taller railing or more gradual drop.

You completely fucking ignore the fact someone used what would otherwise be a completely safe platform because another party found a way to make it harmful.

polocy and algorithm are factors that drive users to engage

Yes. Engage. Not in harmful content specifically, that content just so happens to be the content humans react to the strongest. If talking about fields of flowers drove more engagement, we’d never stop seeing shit about flowers. It’s not them maliciously pushing it, it’s the collective society that’s fucked.

The solution is exactly what it has always been. Stop fucking using the sites if they make you feel bad.

No such thing as neutral space

it may not be intentional, but

They can suggest similar [communities] so it can’t be neutral

My guy, what? If all you did was look at cat pictures you’d get communities to share fucking cat pictures. These sites aren’t to blame for “radicalizing” people into sharing cat pictures any more than they are to actually harmful communities. By your logic, lemmy can also radicalize people. I see anarchist bullshit all the time, had to block those communities and curate my own experience. I took responsibility and instead of engaging with every post that pissed me off, removed that content or avoided it. Should the instance I’m on be responsible for not defederating radical instances? Should these communities be made to pay for radicalizing others?

Fuck no. People are not victims because of the content they’re exposed to, they choose to allow themselves to become radical. This isn’t a “I woke up and I really think Hitler had a point.” situation, it’s a gradual decline that isn’t going to be fixed by censoring or obscuring extreme content. Companies already try to deal with the flagrant forms of it but holding them to account for all of it is truly and completely stupid.

Nobody should be responsible because cat pictures radicalized you into becoming a furry. That’s on you. The content changed you and the platform suggesting that content is not malicious nor should it be held to account for that.

RealFknNito , 2 months ago

As neutral platforms that will as readily push cat pictures as often it will far right extremism and the only difference is how much the user personally engages with it?

Whatever you say, CopHater69. You’re definitely not extremely childish and radical.

RealFknNito , 2 months ago

I doubt you could engineer a plug into your own asshole but sure, I’ll take your word that you’re not just lying and have expert knowledge on this field yet still refused to engage with the point to sling insults instead.

RealFknNito , 2 months ago

Fuck it’s almost like they promote things that have high engagement and rage and fear happen to be our most reactive emotions.

Could you imagine? A coincidence without a malicious conspiracy??

The market abuse is just the latest bullshit from Nvidia. Wait till you learn about their proprietary software they pay games to use so that they look better compared to AMD when in reality they’re overpriced bullshit.

Cmon gamers, you love hairworks, physX, and gsync. Stock up on Cuda cores today!

RealFknNito , 2 months ago

Well, yes. I can’t describe to you how pathetic it would be if after two decades of having the majority market share of GPUs and a near complete monopoly on GPUs in general if they didn’t at the very least have decent software. I put up with AMD’s buggy software because aside from trade secrets they make most of their software open source and they’ve only recently reemerged from the shadows. With things like Freesync and Vulkan I’ll bleed red until they fuck it up.

This is one of those memes like Tom and Jerry. The whole “I sided with Jerry as a kid but now that I’m an adult, he’s kind of a piece of shit to Tom.” Wisdom isn’t inherent of age but man, to those who pay attention it can hit hard.

Honestly if that statistic was provided to me out of context, that Israel have killed 95 more reporters today alone, I wouldn’t even contest the information. I’m not even sure what Israel could do to catch me off guard beyond supplying Palestinians with basic human resources.

Wonder how long until jailbreaking your EV becomes common place to turn off shit like Wifi.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Flipper Zero is kinda whatever it wants to be since it has ports for additional modules. It’s a hacking tool you need to hack for it to work to get around (most) legal issues.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Proprietary software is often locked down to be idiot proof and tamper proof to the average consumer. Actually disabling the wifi (not just turning off SSID broadcasting) or other exploitable points might require a deeper level of access than just the settings page.

And it’s not websites people are concerned about. There’s a pretty common hacking concept where you attack the weakest connected device. If your car connects to your garage door opener, your coffee maker, your washing machine, all your smart devices - they only need to get access to one to get access to all of them since those devices are ‘trusted’. Your car doesn’t know why your coffee maker says ‘unlock’ but it’s gonna listen, it trusts your coffee machine.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

I simplified the concept which might seem misleading to you but the outcome is exactly the same.

You can get access to the home network through weakly secured devices. If you can get past a weak device, trusted by the network, you can send commands through the network and to other devices as if you were a typical user. If your car can be unlocked from your computer (or phone) over the network, a hacker would only need to get past your coffee maker on that same network to be able to tell your car to unlock.

In other words, the Internet of Things can often be a liability if you don’t know how to secure points of access to your network. If you installed a smart thermostat and it’s still broadcasting the default SSID, that’s a glowing weakspot for a hacker. Who would need WPA2 security for that, right?

Apparently having a dedicated sound card and high end audio equipment can improve the quality of the sound. You can chalk it up to audiophile stuff.

On the right it has a rough shipping location (LA with zipcode), are you sure that’s not the change?

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Anti-botting or rough shipping calculations being factored in, both fairly plausible. I notice on the left it even prompts to “select delivery location” near where the price would be.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

I get the desire to compare the two games but Starfield tried too hard to color inside the lines by giving a story and lore while simultaneously trying to make an open ended sandbox which gave us neither. There’s a LARPing town of cowboys with dirt roads existing a few minutes from a hyper advanced planet with platinum roads and somehow they haven’t made contact? The cowboys haven’t progressed their dirt and wood town despite being in spitting distance of a planet of machines that could fabricate advanced tools in seconds?

Star Citizen seems to take the Dark Souls approach of light narrative, heavy world building, “go learn the world by experiencing it.”

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

“Still no game” see, this bad faith shit you do is just chef’s kiss. You can go play it right this second. Their updates to this point are open to play. Right now. “Still no game” isn’t just dishonest it’s a fucking lie and you keep saying it.

They don’t have to set a launch date, they don’t have to put down in writing for you what the game is going to be, and they have roadmaps and are updating the game constantly. You are owed fucking nothing more than what you’ve been given and you throwing a tantrum about it isn’t just frustrating, it’s childish.

If you don’t like the development cycle, move the fuck on and stop bitching about it. You have a life, right? 7 years in the workforce. Play a different game and stop letting this one live rent free in your head. As a grown man, that should be pretty easy. Let the developers decide what they do with their game and if you don’t like it, nobody is making you play it. Nobody is making you keep up with it. And the constant posts of people bitching and moaning “Why isn’t it out yet? Fuckin’ scammers >:(” drive me up a fucking wall.

It’s been a decade and people still rage bait this game.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Can go buy and play the game right now but I guess that’s not released enough.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Like what? What features specifically have they been talking about (for more than 10 years) which have yet to be implemented? Most of the core systems seem to be there, just seems like they’re polishing up what’s already in the game.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Well the story held the game back because the game wanted to be more open than than the story allowed and vice versa where the game held the story back because a lot of areas were underdeveloped or don’t make sense with where they are for the sake of the story they wanted to tell. It felt like two conflicting ideas at the core which ended up with what we have.

Why are cowboys within trading distance of a future tech planet? How have they not interacted to a point where they don’t need dirt roads? The only answer seems to be for the sake of being neat and is baffling. Empty planets being explained as being on purpose to ‘get more joy out of discovering ones with things on it’ and just… it was astoundingly average and competes for the worst Bethesda game against 76.

Bethesda excels at world building and it was disastrous to watch them fail at that.

“Last time I checked”

Damn, as of years ago you’ve been able to buy new ships with in-game currency. You’re not even keeping up on the game you’re bitching about. Sure you can always buy better ships with real money, you can have whatever reservations you want about that, but calling it pay to win seems like a stretch. Elite Dangerous has long proved space battles are often a skill issue.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

So this hyper specific thing that they changed focus from is why you shitcan the entire rest of the game? The story driven campaign that takes a lot more time and resources you’re upset about taking time to develop? Like come on man. This really is Cyberpunk all over again. Just let them work. Go play Helldivers 2.

Then let us raise our glasses in agreement and hope Cloud Imperium can make Star Citizen as well as they hoped.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Notice how “Squadron 42” has a different name than “Star Citizen”? You bought the tech demo for a module of a larger game when you could have waited because clearly you’re not interested in the tech demo. Development isn’t a straightforward process and you had to know that going in. Sorry you think there’s “no game” because the section you wanted isn’t done yet. You’re just wrong.

Cyberpunk released nearly unplayable under the pressure of people threatening to kill the developers for pushing back the release date too many times. Almost like they shouldn’t have put a release date. You seem wildly uninformed about both games.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Okay, why is that a problem that it’s “in alpha”? These are made up fucking terms that change meaning based on the people using them.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

That means literally fucking nothing to the comment you’re replying to.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Since you’re replying to every comment I’ve made - Alpha still doesn’t have a set meaning. It changes between people who use it.

Logging in and doing the content you couldn’t do when you originally bought it still means it’s progressing and yes, it qualifies as a game no matter how mad that makes you.

What part of “it’s still being fucking developed” keeps getting past you bud? “It’s just a tech demo, it’s not a complete game” - no fucking shit. You being pissy that it’s not done as fast as you want it is entitlement and you should really grow the fuck up.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Almost like it was being developed not for the day it began development but for the future when they intend to release it. Almost like optimizations are the last stage in development.

You’re a fucking moron just blabbering about shit you don’t understand and I’m glad you can’t do anything but whine and piss yourself about how your $40 hasn’t given you the best game your little brain could conjure up. It’s been a decade. Grow the fuck up.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

And unlike most kickstarter scams, they’re still trying to honor that original pledge.

Notice they didn’t promise an exact date? Damn that’s wild. You wanted to be an early backer so congrats, the monkey’s paw curls and now you need to grow up because you somehow haven’t over the course of the development of the game you keep whining about taking so long.

The adults who backed this project with WAY more money than you are still mature enough to put this in the back of their mind and go about their life with the assurance CIG will make good on these pledges. Helldivers 2 is a great game and there’s no kickstarter for you to buy and bitch about later.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Because nothing is wrong with a development time that’s longer than you want it to be and Helldivers is a fun game.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

8 years of development. Oh no. That’s the average range for a normal development cycle.

Fuck off with this stupid shit already.

RealFknNito , 3 months ago

Yeah, 8 years. The typical game development cycle. For Star Citizen, the well known highly ambitious game. You people can’t even wait until it takes them longer than a typical fucking cycle to bitch and moan about how long it’s taking. Fuck off already.
