Chet Falizek, a dev who led L4D and a couple other games at valve talks about this a lot on TikTok, now that he’s running an indie studio. He’s a cool guy, would fit in on .ml or something for sure.

It’s possible for them to tell the computer to shutdown when the battery is getting low

No sure, I get where you’re coming from, but for the purposes of the other poster I think it was best to adjust my language.

At the time time, it’s also best for the purposes of the other poster to reply with your perspective as well haha

I guess instead of “war” I should have said “conflict” btw

The war did not start in 2022, your analysis of what has been happening before the invasion needs to go back before that.

We literally bring it up ourselves for no particular reason

Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won’t agree with a lot of stuff (and even that’s partly cause there’s layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it’s not quite as bad as you think.

The narrative changed about 10 years ago to “well it’s happening, but humans can’t do anything about it, it’s a natural process”. No real difference, but it puts a bit more smoke and mirrors up for the rubes who believe that sort of thing since it sounds a bit less wrong.

Interesting that you can tell where someone’s political development kinda “paused” based on this. A dork who thinks climate change isn’t happening is a full 10 years behind their fellow dorks.

I’m more annoyed with the people who reply to this low-effort garbage

I mean the fediverse isn’t exactly super mature; from what I know you should expect that you’ll have to generate that data yourself some way or another.

lemmy.ml is nominally leftist, so an anticapitalist text dump is in-bounds, I believe

You didn’t watch Chuck back in the mid 2000s?

It’s a coincidence

I think the model that you’re referring to is generally more applicable to hardware, but since you can make free copies of an app, Uber for instance can keep things low cost till they eat the competition

I mean it was nonsense to think it would solve your costs, but streaming is superior to cable TV from a tech standpoint for sure.

People should expect that yeah, new software is cheap when it’s rolled out, but it’s gonna get more expensive as time goes on, but I can understand why that wasn’t quite as apparent to people 10 years ago as it will be 10 years from now

It’s overly amplified by liberal propagandists, but there’s at least enough of a connection to make a note of

By that measure, Xi is also implicated

I see your point, but that’s a topic that should be up for discussion among your hypothetical Party/legislature. I don’t think it has a clear answer.

You don’t see his pandering to the EU as stumbling backwards into this whole situation in the first place?

I understand that it comes across as provocative, but from what I understand about his (attempted) maneuvering over the past couple years, he’s kind of a spineless and weak leader who trusted the wrong side and got his country embroiled in a massive conflict.

NATO and the US are not trustworthy allies, and they let him talk up "Ukraine joining NATO ", a very dangerous thing to do, but I don’t believe they had any intention of letting them in at any point. Zelensky should have understood this.

Damn was there nowhere to evacuate to? (Makes sense being an island and all)

Edit: damn first thing tiktok shows me is people getting into the water while everything burns around them
