Seeing CA propositions get rigged with misinformation and tricky language suggests to me that direct democracy might also not work without proper safeguards.

A while ago. Only upside is they say they don’t keep your prompts or train models, but I have my doubts.

Maybe it’s my eyesight but I never noticed it graining. The only thing I remember is that the lighting isn’t ever as good. I did play a majority of it on the desktop, but that was mostly for ultra wide mod… over the shoulder games always make me kinda claustrophobic.

I beg to differ, I found the first one to play weirdly well on it. Didn’t play the second. I often used it as an example of what the deck can do, since it was smooth.

I’m playing through an old PS2 title Radiata Stories. I don’t get why this title is so overlooked! It’s really fucking funny to play in 2025 cause its weirdly apt with nepotism, classism and going to war over wage theft (kinda, anyway).

I don’t wanna spoil it though.

No, we ARE contrarians. Take that!

I went from full lurker to participant since I felt like I’m not completely drowned out by others. That made it more fun, since Lemmy all feed is pretty small relatively speaking and lurking gets boring if you’re expecting an endless feed of random junk. Plus, since it’s small, you can also feel like you’re contributing to the Lemmy community, since without your comments and posts, it won’t exist.

Although get to the bottom of the all feed and things get wild.

I however found it mildly interesting that Zohran Mamdani was making this part of the issues he’s messaging about for NYC, to at least drive down the price for locals. Free childcare, public owned groceries, sure, but FIFA tickets? Yet this graphic kinda puts that in perspective, so I get it.

Ooooh, I did get it working on deck before but yeah, looked kinda janky. That’s exciting news, although I’m still 50-50 on wanting to play with controller controls.

Huh, feels like a Mandela effect but only because we’re all just echoing each other’s memes. Lol

Like 98% of people had no idea (guessing), which I think is why a big % are not sure how to mourn or laugh. They do recognize the Change My Mind meme and sometimes Toilet Paper USA though.

Lemmy would likely have a different % than typical though. And even then, you always will see a comment like “don’t use that meme, he’s an asshole” and a bunch of TILs.

Oh, it was SoE. That’s… interesting. Wonder if true.

Btw, it is quite serious how you handle dev kits. Generally they’re held on premises for this reason (and SoA does a good enough job of it), so it’s a pretty wild mistake to dispose of them. It was really, really under lock and key prior to Switch 2 release!

There are exceptions, though, like demos at major events. I wonder if there was something like that recently.

This isn’t terribly believable; I’ve seen some wildly bad takes in “the literature” because there’s just so many for-profit journals that you get a ton of junk science. That, or you find something in the archives from 50 years ago.

Now, if the professor is any good they’ll put restrictions on even that but the bar is so low we’re just happy to see a citation that isn’t a blog or made up by AI.

I thought I read it was both, but either way it’s good not to assume it’s always American. The whole world is problematic at times.

Supposedly the organization pressuring the payment companies are actually Australian, but it’s mostly a fuck hypocritical Christians moment.

Wish I had an answer but I have to track on my main Windows PC using Launchbox since they don’t have Linux support (it’s built on .net, making that very hard). Someone got it working with Wine supposedly, but meh. At least steam is automatic so Deck progress is logged.

It’s frustrating since they just released a bunch of useful tracking tools too.

Carbrain is strong, but they’re still trying to invest some in public trans. Unfortunately, I saw recently they’ve been pushing a public Uber alternative as a sort of last step after using a train, which I can’t imagine helps.

I kind of understand why-- LA is very spread out. I was told or was because of earthquakes that we couldn’t build high but that doesn’t seem to be true anymore.

If it’s any consolation, we haven’t taken the “one more lane” thing too far, there aren’t 12 lane freeway monstrosities at least.

Upside, usually the controllers are extremely easy to fix. I’m not sure if they give free replacement pads still, but they used to if you asked support.

I’ve had other problems than shoulders on my pros, and never with the ultimate one I got, those seem to have a pretty solid build.

Does anyone actually think it’s pro-capitalism? Though the social psych equivalent to this is just the concept of the harvesting dilemma and the main lesson is generally pro government regulation (regardless of economics). Social dilemmas like this apply to any common good everyone benefits from, be it air quality, military defense, public parks, public safety, etc. (when explaining, I use a few right wing examples too, even if I am a bit ACAB myself lol).

Basically, they simply don’t exist without some form of social agreement not to be a shitty greedy asshole. Government being the most obvious way to control that.

There’s probably some, but keep in mind that your instance has to be federated with them and lemmy.world generally defederates a lot of the more extreme instances (plus a few benign but potentially illegal instances, since the admins don’t want legal trouble.)

That said, Lemmy historically is rather extreme “left” (if you can call it that lol) so much so that the .ml of lemmy.ml stands for Marxist-Leninst. That starting point kinda makes the rest of us the conservatives of the community.

If you want to feel challenged, look into who we defederate from. Hexbear, lemmygrad, beehaw, etc. I’m sure those rabbit holes will be new to you, although heaven help you lol
