Today, it’s “just” intimidation. After the midterms though…

NPCs in games may be one of the very few actual good uses for AI. But not using the cloud obviously.

Yeah that’s gonna earn him some votes.

I mean… props to her dedication I guess. I wish I could care that much about things.

By now he must’ve (correctly) deduced that his approval will never really go lower than ~30% because that 30% doesn’t vote (or live) rationally. He quite literally took tens of thousands from both people who could barely afford it and those who could really not afford it - AND THEY WOULD STILL VOTE FOR HIM.

It’s what brought internet to the masses. That’s what always kills <any subject>.

I’m from the before-times, where loading a single EGA screen in 4 colours took a good twenty seconds from a floppy drive. Printer was dot matrix. Internet was something mythical only possessed by the extremely elite or academia. You better believe I’m still astonished when I see a 4K game load in 3 seconds from an NVMe drive.

Of course my representatives are cowards like usual. No wonder the far right gains more traction here every day. I’m not fooled by them, but when the actual leadership is this retarded it’s not hard to fool most of the idiots.

They calls 'em like they sees 'em.

They’re not wrong.

Russia knows it’s at war with Europe. Ukraine knows it. The US almost certainly does. But EU citizens haven’t accepted it yet. They’ll have to soon though.

I treat every bit of “news” from those sources (Kalshi, Polymarket) as outright manipulation. They have a vested interest in presenting either one of two sides, depending on how the odds fall that day. But they have zero duty to truth.

Some people call that mindfulness and pay professionals to achieve that state. Others, like me, consider it hell to be constantly aware of this without the ability to turn it off.

Inevitable. The next generation will be imperceptible and thus impossible to vandalize.

This is actually kind of terrifying. Just imagine, all those people went into it thinking the only ones who’d ever know would be the sleazy types frequenting jacking booths or xxx cinemas. And if someone from their inner circle would find out, they’d have to admit to that in some capacity.

Then, some nerd invents internet and before you know it granny’s coochy is out there until the literal end of time.

If fossil fuels and meat become impossible to afford for most people, it’s probably the only way to make that change. Lord knows we wouldn’t do it willingly.

Fuuuuuck, end of summer. I could’ve gone without noticing.

True - after over a year of regular posting with literally 0 engagement. I don’t need this to get eyes on some kind of profitable project I have going on. I just wanted to share my interests with like-minded people. But turns out, there are very, very few of those around.

Look, I’m not saying this to shit on Lemmy. I’m grateful it exists. But to pretend it’s anything but a footnote in the grand scheme of the internet is delusional.

Fedi seems to have completely stalled in the last year or so. Not noticing a lot of posts. Tried to get a few subs off the ground myself but zero engagement => it’s dead. Guess Reddit wins after all.

Read the article. All the communications were legit, but they looked more suspicious than actual phishing because FedEx is just that inept. Also, bpoint.com.au is a legit domain used by these services.
