I haven’t gamed on pc for quite some time, but I remember every gaming company adding “launchers” for their games that you had to run to install and play their games. Even Nvidia did this with their fucking drivers. :)

Valve doesn’t do any of that bullshit. Maybe that’s why gamers like them?

Valve are such Chads.

We have a winner. :)

The thing is, i think social media today has created a lot of censorship out of necessity. There are people out there who just aren’t mature or intelligent enough to have a conversation without insulting or pushing people down.

And because of they, we all suffer. We get over-moderated, we get called trolls etc.

I think I would like a platform where people actually have to act like adults. But that’s hard. Hacker news have kind of made it, but they are also well known for not being open minded at all.

Depends on what you get moderated for. I once posted a question about trans people and I got banned from some Lemmy.ml community because they thought I was trolling them. I wasn’t.

It’s just sometimes hard for moderators to know what kind of person they are dealing with. But someone’s posting history is usually enough to see if they are trolling or not.

Also what is trolling. It’s supposed to mean that you intentionally upset people for fun. How can anyone know if it’s intentionally or not. To some people, asking a question is trolling because they don’t see why anyone would ask that if they didn’t try to upset people.

So… It’s interesting.

HR is there to protect the company.

They will have a laugh with you, sure. Why not? And they will come up with silly games for employees, because it increases employee retention and makes employees likely to think HR is just about boosting fun.

But trusting them? God no.

It’s a language model… Not a regexp. :)

I agree it’s overhyped and I think we will have these models in everything from phones to cars, giving us voice commands and summary functions.

It is not going to become self aware anytime soon. :)

I don’t know about this one, but there are many Hollywood celebrities dying under strange circumstance. It’s a very interesting rabbit hole.

For better or worse, the moderation policies of Lemmy.world is seen as “the fediverse”.

Almost everyone decided to use that instance, so… It’s the default choice still.

Sure you have tried a cold beer when it’s hot? That bitter cold taste is amazing when it’s hot and cools me down for sure. I wouldn’t have any sugary drinks when it’s hot though, just makes me thirsty.

It is unhealthy but it makes you relax and have fun if not drinking too much. Also it makes people horny which is a plus sometimes.

I also don’t drink more than a few beers every few months, but if I lived in a warm country, I probably would. It’s very tasty when it’s hot.

I was looking for this comment. Lol. :)

I think more and more people are getting really tired of the ads, so it’s starting to affect their revenue a little bit with all the ad blockers.

The battle goes on and on.

I read about some sucker that paid for YouTube premium and still got ads in his pause screen. Lol.

Well some people win the lottery. :p

Being dumb is being happy.

You know, I have one simple rule.

You can think what you like, and other people can think what they like also.

But they can’t tell anyone else what to think. So all this social media and Hollywood propaganda about gender and race can fuck off. It wont change my mind and it shouldn’t. I have my own life experiences and I don’t need that replaced with what they tell me to think.

Friends who try to tell you what to think can also fuck off. You have to have this attitude or you end up with really annoying friends.

Real friends can have opinions without pushing them on to you.

Ctrl-r with https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin is amazing. Never forget a command you used ever again.

I just played one hour yet, but will spend more hours on it today. Can probably do a review in a week. :)

I think it’s silly. You can’t fight dictators with gaming choices. That stuff is real life.
