I’m doing my part by writing really shitty foss projects for AI to steal and train on.

Now that the Steam Deck and linux gaming has found some success I really hope Valve or someone else revisits the home console market with a similar approach.

You couldn’t really build a PC for the same price as a PS5 with the same performance unless you’re buying used parts in most places but that’s not because Sony is selling consoles at a loss right now like the olden days. A large system integrator like Valve (or xbox if they want to change their formula) could offer similar perf/price without all the downsides of these locked down consoles.

And yet all the confederate flags seem to be at Republican rallies instead of Democrat rallies these days. 🤔

And yet MAGA idiots still believe it’s true regardless of this retraction. There’s some random US citizen from Canton, Ohio named Allexis Ferrell who is in jail for eating a cat that they are using to justify these false claims even though she has absolutely no relation to Haitian immigrants in Springfield

On twitter yesterday I saw some MAGA people discussing that she was “right” but it’s bad optics for the more moderate republicans so she should be distanced until after the election. They accept her.

I wish some sports journalists I follow would move off twitter so I could drop it completely.

I checked twitter. Generally they think Trump won. They also think the moderators were a Harris’ team and it was 3 vs 1. They think he owned her with the “I’m talking now” line. There’s also a conspiracy theory that Harris was wearing earrings with speakers in them.

But no debate was going to change the mind of people already in the maga cult anyway.

For ‘undecided’ voters I’ve seen this didn’t move the needle much but Harris was slightly ahead.

The biggest win is probably for already dem leaning voters being more excited to get out and vote rather than not voting - especially with Taylor Swift encouraging them to register and vote now.

We don’t have to guess, they tried. 50 is enough if you can get 50…on these issues the dems couldn’t get 50 even when they had the house. Guess which two senators opposed filibuster reform? Guess which two senators also very publicly stated they wouldn’t vote for packing the supreme court?

You’re really trying to strawman me and aren’t making good faith arguments here so I’m not going to waste too much time on a response… but take 51 and then subtract 2 from it (for Manchin and Sinema who won’t vote with dems on these issues) - is that 50? Besides that dems also don’t control the house.

This is literally AOC trying to impeach them, which isn’t going to be successful in a republican controlled house anyway. It’s more just for principle and show.

Court packing isn’t really an option right now for the same reason…if dems get firm control of the house and senate then it would be possible. For those who don’t know Manchin and Sinema are two “democratic” senators who won’t abolish filibuster or expand the supreme court so the current 51 - 49 democrat control of the senate isn’t real control either.

Should be banned everywhere smh. It’s crazy that people are just chucking lithium into the garbage for no reason…when vapes started as an easily reusable setup in the firth place.

Literally FFX-2

They literally ruled that “gratuities” (what most people would call bribes) are not a crime. Of course they’re taking all the “gratuities” they can get the corrupt mfers.

The problem with the age and capacity points is that Trump can still speak at an idiotic and simple level to his base and fire them up. What’s coming out of his mouth is conspiratory ramblings without substance but he’s not stuttering and doesn’t look feeble while doing it so his base eats it up. Any time he actually tries to talk substance on an issue it’s clear he’s an idiot but that was true in 2016 and 2020 too.

For those who don’t care, it’s an emulator.

For those that do care, it’s not trying to emulate the actual hardware of the xbox one it’s just translating system calls to work on normal Windows PCs. WINE, the inspiration for the name, stands for WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR so they probably didn’t want to call it one. But you could call it high level emulation if you want.

Indeed. She’s liking people talking about voting for her if they’re unsatisfied with their current party…the photo of her with Putin at the RT dinner has much worse optics I don’t think people need to deep dive into generic instagram likes.

Seriously the proper move is to tone it down a bit and stop holding for applause so you don’t look like an idiot. She just kept doubling down and trying to go full rally on it. Probably difficult to tone it down with all the coke.

Bro still out here overhyping, he can’t help himself.

type site:lemmy.world in front of your search if using google. You can combine multiple instances with the OR operator ie site:lemmy.world OR site:programming.dev this will force google to give you content only from your desired domains but lemmy.world posts will likely trample the other instances for a lot of stuff.

We’re becoming a little centralized (which I personally don’t find to be such a bad thing yet).

It’s non just Facebook either. Every big tech social media platform has headed in this direction of showing you stuff you don’t really want to see based on maximizing profit. For-profit social media seems to mostly be doomed to this outcome because it makes more money.

A restaurant has a sign that says “no shirt no shoes no service”. I walk in barefoot and order a burger. They serve me the burger. They had the right to deny me but they served me anyway. The responsibly to enforce their own terms of service is on them. Similarly youtube has the right to deny service to people blocking ads and sometimes does. That does not make ad blocking piracy for all intents and purposes. The onus to enforce their own terms of service is on them. And it would be very easy for them to take more drastic measures but they don’t.

I get that you’re trying to make an argument that morally it can feel like piracy, but it’s just not actually piracy. No copyright was violated. Youtube’s TOS doesn’t change that.
