Have you met lemmygrad.ml?

nephs ,

You don’t have to explain why fascist symbols are bad, there. You might find most lemmygraders to be pretty reasonable.

nephs ,

So are you saying nazi leadership in Ukraine isn’t nazi?

And all nazi symbols they use in their military isn’t nazi?

You’re confusing.

nephs ,

You acknowledge pepe the frog as an alt right fascist symbol on Internet memes. But when armed forces in Ukraine use SS and black sun on their garment, you think it’s fine. Did west reclaim swastika and other nazi symbols, then?

nephs ,

At which point did I defend Putin or Xi in this conversation? I used the same argument as you did to argue that there’s Nazi sympathetic fighters in the Ukrainian armed forces.

Would you defend soldiers fighting side by side Nazi symbols?

nephs ,

Guilty of making use of hyperbole, whoah.

Now. Ukrainian military, its puppet leadership and its NATO allies are pretty accepting of fighting side by side, and providing weapons to Nazi sympathetic fighters.

Apparently CNN is now part of Russian propaganda?

nephs , (edited )

Ok, so you’re saying that having them wearing those Nazi badges is fine because the imperialist state department from the country that hired a non negligible number of Nazis after the Germans capitulated said the nazi patch wearing azov combatants are not doing anything wrong?

And at the same time, using pepe the frog online is clearly alt-right?

Just like you believe when the US state department say Israel is doing nothing against human rights in Palestine?

You look very confused, in my opinion.

nephs ,

Bobby tables has started his academic career!

nephs ,

It doesn’t, though.

The problem is the institution, not the nice people that think being a cop is a good way to make societies better.

There’s shitty cops, and the command chain that does nothing about it. That’s the problem.

Antagonising common peoples dads, and the people trying to be nice cops,and failing, is not the way.

We have to point at the right problem. And if you point at the corrupt chain of command nice cops will back you up.

nephs ,

Yeah, but we have to go after the systems heads, not for its fangs, or claws. These can be used against them.

nephs ,

Well, I get it. There’s better places to spend ones time than being a nice cop.

Either they comply of they’re out. But… You know. People are pressured to pay for housing, and food, and health. Maybe they’re paying for someone’s cancer treatment in their family. And cop work pays well.

People don’t have much of a choice. We’re all fucked. But individuals are not the problem here. The system is. The chain of command is. Capitalism is.

Fuck the police, as the repression apparatus for the bonjoursie state. Care for the people.

nephs ,

That’s, again, an institutional problem. Yes, down with those institutions!

nephs ,

If money wasn’t needed. If people had access to dignified work to pay for housing, food and health, they would have a choice.

Cop work is always available, on a very low entry bar, paying generally better than equivalent positions elsewhere. And shitty people get to vent their violence unchecked.

Nice cops “just” have to sell their should a bit. Some people get desperate and are willing to pay the consciousness price.

In my opinion these positions shouldn’t even be available, the whole chain of command should be replaced by people representing the oppressed classes, committed to ending oppression.

I’m not defending police, I just think the criticism has to focus on the institution problem, not at the individual problem. Individuals are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, systems are everything.

nephs ,

I think it’s fair to say that “nice cops” see themselves as civilians, and representatives of the population, trying to improve things.

Soldiers are military, and a very different category. But! I read many US military personnel go in there because superior education is not really accessible anywhere else. So, maybe there’s a gray zone, there? Cannon fodder soldiers from poor strata die first, in any war. Most don’t want to be there.

I have particular views about IDF being an genocidal maniacal occupation force for a colonising state that commits innumerable crimes against humanity. That you’re probably not interested about.

And I have particular views about NATO using disguised Nazi Ideology in puppet states to seize and control it, that I also wouldn’t think you wouldn’t be particularly interested about.

nephs ,

Sounds much harder than switching to Linux.

nephs ,

At least Linux isn’t trying to milk you for its own gain.

nephs ,

I use a combo of lutris and proton, if you’re looking for keywords.

nephs ,

Different error is definitely progress. Unless you get “1638394 rows deleted”.

nephs ,

Sounds like, at the very least, a yellow flag to me. Be aware that there may be other stuff broken in their processes other than legacy code. :)

nephs ,

Because updates also add paywall, which is worse than hackers! /s

nephs ,

Read part 2.

nephs ,

Omg, I feel sorry for the people cleaning up after those codebases later. Maintaing that kind of careless “quality” lines of code is going to be a job for actual veterans.

And when we’re all retired or dead, the whole world will be a pile of alien artifacts from a time when people were still able to figure stuff out, and llms will still be ridiculously inefficient for precise tasks, just like today.

nephs ,

What if peoples relationships create a superstructure no single human can control, and we need active collective effort to supercede it?

If a single human refuses from a moral standpoint, a humongous amount of money to do something crap as CEO controller of whichever crap company, boards will replace them, and some other human will, because material condition dictate it has to be done. No one is really in control. The boards are all just optimising for profit, because if they’re not, someone else will.

How to break the capitalist cycle of control over peoples will?

That’s Sovereignty.

Assuming approval is a strict requirement, a middle ground solution would be an open source, federatable, steam clone, operated locally. Have an approving committee to priorise approving games from local developers, and working on evaluating international games after all local games are dealt with.

That’s for sure similarly efficient to gaming industry distributors system, where you need companies with the right connections to launch games in big platforms, like sony’s, nintendo’s, or microsoft’s. Or event steam’s, to a minor extent. Which also veto games not aligned to their opaque terms and conditions.

Also, it would improve international competition, with the removal of the technology barrier of entry, distribution costs would lower, games would become cheaper, and the share retained by creators and developers would be increased.

Long live, a collaborative approach to technology! Long live smaller profit margins! Long live open source!

nephs ,

Same as torrents, some form of signing keys?

I was thinking federation for the social aspect of it, not the distribution aspect of it.

Distribution would be “the usual”. Stores acquire software, and licenses, store and serve the data through a server. Client software solve installation and integration between games and social stuff, like friends, messages, networking and achievements.

I mean, it’s not a one person project, but if I were supreme leader of Vietnam and had the people and resources to be working on providing video game entertainment for the masses, that’s how I’d be thinking about it. Not that software skills and supreme leader skills have any overlap…

nephs ,

Communist spotted.

Nice to see you, comrade. Come to lemmygrad.

If you’d like a second opinion on animal farm and Orwell in general.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

nephs ,

Funny, but problematic. I know it’s a joke.

I like the idea to use unexpected cumpliment, as “my connoisseur”, “my most esteemed”, “my commander”, “my captain”, “my sibling”, “my comrade”, “boss”, “friend”, or something.

Pointing at physical characteristics? Not as amazing.

nephs ,

Commander, captain, uncle, brother, comrade, Chief, big friend Bring us down another round

nephs ,

We don’t talk about 5th and 6th period.

nephs ,

So, that’s how Google funds their unprofitable products!

nephs ,

I need full screen share and I think it isn’t there for wayland. But the track pad support is better in wayland.

nephs ,

How does it compare to vic2? I still love vic2.

nephs ,

And pray that the candidates elected on those platforms don’t backtrack for the lobby of big-whatever.

nephs ,

How about demanding better tools?

Can a democracy that doesn’t reflect and can’t act systematically for the needs of the people really be called a democracy?

nephs ,

Also, this longevity should prove that product managers are useless.

nephs ,

Is a fair generalisation of the average reddit an lemmy.world user.

nephs ,

I used to have my local environment synced to prod. Saving meant deployed.

Everything was feature flagged by default, we never broke production in years. That was early 2010s.

nephs ,

What’s the difference?

nephs ,

So… Who’s the board of mozilla hiring the ceo, again? How did this board come to be?

I tried, I really did

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

nephs ,

I’ve quit a few games years ago for that exact reason.

nephs ,

It works on my machine, most of the time.

nephs ,

Logseq may help?

I keep a few entries in the content page, for each project, and in each page I got an updated todo list.

You can also capture everything in the same place, journal style, then link it back from the content pages. I find it very powerful.

And it’s FOSS. And md/filesystem based, so I just sync it between devices with git.

nephs ,

I’m glad Nazi Germany eventually had to stop fighting. Unfortunately, many of their brains went to work with the US with pretty much no repercussion.

Here’s a video of Doom running on gut bacteria, proving you really can play the game on anything (www.engadget.com)

An MIT biotech researcher has been able to run the iconic computer game Doom using actual gut bacteria. Lauren Ramlan didn’t get the game going on a digital simulation of bacteria, but turned actual bacteria into pixels to display the 30-year-old FPS, as reported by Rock Paper Shotgun....

Can packed silicon zapped with direct current be compared to a bunch of rocks arranged in a specific way?

This thread is full of stupid, my eyes hurt.
