AAA games are very rarely as innovative as indie games, it’s all just the same rehashed stuff I feel like. Just whatever is “safe”.

So, I very much agree, the typical AAA stuff from studios like EA, Ubisoft, etc. Don’t interest me.

Although maybe Starfield will be interesting, we’ll see. I didn’t really like Fallout 4 though, I wished the RPGs were a bit more like the more old school ones lol.

We don’t exactly have many non-capitalistic economies.

But we have games that people made outside of the incentives of capitalism. i.e., because they wanted to make the game they wanted to make. This is what has created the absolute best games in existence. Not the incentive of money.

Was terraria made for the purposes of money? Was outer wilds? No. They were passion projects. Of course they had to earn money, because you need to earn money to survive, but that wasn’t their primary goals. Contrary to games such as call of duty or whatever. Which are just incredibly bland in comparison.

I mean see how much microtransactions, loot boxes, etc. Is ruining the atmosphere of games and exploiting the hell out of people and kids. Don’t tell me devs are putting that in because that is what their dream game would contain. No, they put it in purely because of capitalistic incentives. Would you argue that that is good?

For some things hydrogen doesn’t really make sense, but for everything else it’s basically a form of a battery. The one big advantage it has over batteries is its weight.

SkyeStarfall ,

Because at some point we will automate people completely out of jobs, and then they will have nowhere to go. Our system isn’t set up to handle that.

People are already struggling to find jobs with a liveable wage.

USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked images - Macworld (www.macworld.com)

We’ve known that the iPhone is switching to USB-C for a while now, but there was always a possibility that Apple would stick with Lightning for one more year. Based on the latest leaked images, however, Apple is all-in on USB-C for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, with USB-C parts for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and...

Semantic versioning isn’t useful for all kinds of software. Plenty intentionally choose to not use it. Look at the Linux kernel, for example.

SkyeStarfall ,

And that will push capitalism to the breaking point. We’ll see what happens then, although many very bad scenarios are possible.

SkyeStarfall ,

They are, well a specific type of reaction anyway. Combustion is defined as a “high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.” According to Wikipedia.

SkyeStarfall ,

Does it cause you any harm? Why are you so keen on straight up insulting others?

Used Windows today since months

I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It...

SkyeStarfall ,

Idk, for me, and many others I know, windows update always caused shit. There were many times that windows has failed to update for me, and often the updates broke something in the process. Far more than they ever have on linux for me.

SkyeStarfall ,

As someone living in Europe, strongly disagree. US politics heavily impact our politics.

SkyeStarfall ,

Yeah because it’s funny and got people talking about the game

Really though, I wish nudity and sexuality wasn’t such a big taboo thing in society. So what if people get horny by the game, is that a bad thing?

SkyeStarfall ,

Probably Android Studio, it’s officially supported and does a ton of useful things for you.

SkyeStarfall ,

Hydrogen makes sense for planes in theory. It’s an alternative for batteries, which are very heavy and thus not practical for long flights.

SkyeStarfall ,

Also tech university students, though.

Ideally you use linux for tech, but MacOS is a close second as it’s also based on Unix, which makes it operate similarly to Linux. It’s a valid choice, and better than windows in most cases still.

Patreon having issues again causing thousands of people’s payments to be declined (i.imgur.com)

Many creators mentioning they lost hundreds of their patrons suddenly and patrons confused as to why their payments are being declined. Patreon is such an old company that hasnt done anything to improve their service for years while the CEO makes youtube videos and seemingly nothing with the company. I hate how much of a...

SkyeStarfall ,

Can you elaborate?

SkyeStarfall ,

Elon is doing more than most to showcase the failures of our systems and the downsides of billionaires

Thank you, comrade Elon

SkyeStarfall ,

Why not? The search space is massive, and it’s not the first time humanity stumbled upon some simple revolutionary discovery.

Just because we failed to figure out the conceptually simple thing until now, doesn’t mean it can’t be the case. Anything else is just some form of human exceptionalism.

SkyeStarfall ,

Because you can deploy hundreds of AIs at the snap of your finger, easily exceeding the output of thousands of dedicated people.

Simply put, you can drown everyone out with your sheet quantity of bots.

SkyeStarfall ,

It also ruins Florida’s economy, though. Brain drain is like the last thing nearly all places want.

SkyeStarfall ,

It would be replaced by other meat, so in the end it doesn’t really matter. Dog meat is just as bad as pig meat, in this regard. This kind of reform is purely because we like dogs and not pigs.

SkyeStarfall ,

They were eating far less meat than we do today. They also respected animals a lot more usually, with a lot of cultural and religious rituals surrounding hunting.

A lot of pagan religions were about “gifts of the hunt/nature” and to not squander those gifts etc. People held a lot of respect for nature in a way we don’t today with our industrial meat farming.

SkyeStarfall ,

Yeah, hard to criticize the model when you can just get everything you need for less then the price of a AAA game. It just makes it a “free to try” game, instead of a truly free to play one, and that’s fine.

And besides, in recent leagues they have gone less hard on the specialized stash tabs model, and more on the cosmetic one. They haven’t added a league specific stash tab since delirium league, and that was over 3 years ago.

SkyeStarfall ,

It would be nice if they didn’t, but every class is a character with a semi-established personality and story, so it makes sense for them to be gender “locked”. The NPC characters also react to you differently based on who you play. It’s mainly a difference in character design.

SkyeStarfall ,

I’m in the “human rights are good, actually” echo chamber

SkyeStarfall ,

Good

SkyeStarfall ,

Another is to find out who was at a protest the institutions in power deemed unacceptable :)

SkyeStarfall ,

I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for… god knows what reason

SkyeStarfall ,

I feel like it is very obvious that twitter has no future. It has gotten a lot worse, and will keep on just getting even more so.

It had been obvious from as soon as Elon began firing nearly everyone at twitter, jeopardizing its future development and maintanance.

SkyeStarfall ,

It’s funny, isn’t it? It’s so “on the nose” and yet perfectly reflects reality.

“Difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to be believable…” and all that

SkyeStarfall ,

The problem is, it’s already in our backyards. From record breaking forest fires, to record breaking heat, and record breaking droughts…

SkyeStarfall ,

I think if you create an alarm service like this, you do have a certain responsibility, because people will start to rely on that.

SkyeStarfall ,

It’s one of the world’s (or used to be) most influential social medias going through some absurdly dumb changes. Of course it’s gonna be talked about a lot. What happens to twitter has massive implications for the world.

SkyeStarfall ,

Because our economic system is broken. It simply does not allow us to do what is best for humanity in the long run. It’s completely absurd the more you think about it.

SkyeStarfall ,

Because the whole problem essentially boils down to “if it is individually cheaper for everyone to dump their waste into the river, instead of properly processing it, then that is what is the individually rational thing to do, even if in the end everyone loses far more on it”. It’s washing time and effort on competition, resulting in worse long term results, instead of cooperating together for a better final output.

SkyeStarfall ,

Because they use chromium

SkyeStarfall ,

The whole problem is that the free internet is dying because google is starting to get a monopoly over it.

So, yes, “just another Chromium browser” is a very valid criticism, because it quite literally aids in jeopardizing the future of the internet.

SkyeStarfall ,

Or maybe it’s better to err on the side of caution when it comes to maybe one of the worst legal offences you can do?

I’m tired of people harping on this decision when it’s a perfectly legitimate one from a legal standpoint. There’s a reason tons of places are very iffy about nsfw content.

SkyeStarfall ,

AI is not unbiased. AI incorporates the biases of the data it is fed and the people who created it. “Unbiased AI” is a myth (and so is unbiased news/media, but that’s another discussion).

SkyeStarfall ,

How do you solve the problem of ethics? Is there even such a thing as objectively true ethics?

You have to answer that question before you can even start saying that being unbiased is possible in the first place.

SkyeStarfall ,

How will you tell the AI what the proper ethics for humans are?

After all, you want the AI to be in service of humans, of us… right? If not, what is going to stop the AI from just being entirely self-serving?

SkyeStarfall ,

So then why are you looking forward to it?

SkyeStarfall ,

Honestly, we’re already not that far off, aside from the brain computer interface.

We have many very good translation tools these days, and they work decently well. You can even use it to translate text in the real world via the camera

SkyeStarfall ,

nobody ever takes the time to do any thing to contribute to it

You are literally on the direct counterexample to this. Lemmy is like the old Internet.

SkyeStarfall ,

This shit is literally doublethink straight out of 1984. And I thought the book was hyperbolic.

SkyeStarfall ,

Less brightness means less light emitted by the diodes means less power is used. They may not turn off, but they still use less.

SkyeStarfall ,

Time to start making charts about how nature and forests are valuable because workers can take walks in them, improving their mood, and thus increasing their productivity!

(…I kinda hate myself for typing this out lmao. It’s so soulless)

SkyeStarfall ,

International shipping may be annoying to set up if you haven’t done it, as well as what do you do if something goes wrong with the order etc.

Many just choose to do the simple thing to just not

SkyeStarfall ,

It’s interesting how “politically motivated” has gotten to be such a negative buzzword.

Like, yes, fucking geopolitical sanctions are indeed politically motivated, lmao. What else would they be.
