You should, they are great.

Why? Most of the world living better than 20 years ago and way better than 50 years ago, so the trend looks positive.

bombing civilians even outside their own country and work with islamist militias
To be fair that’s what most of NATO is/were doing.

I’m okay with that.
- Comment on Racism nas gone too woke! 3 months ago:
Wasn’t it mostly disregarded by now? There were no evidence for any major struggle or any other major extinction event for Neanderthals at the time, quite the contrary modern humans that came from where Neanderthals lived have their DNA. So we basically just fucked and whatever more sustainable of both our genes survived. It’s not like one species died out, and the other lived, they both are gone, some of us emerged from that.

I remember when he told that story, it was something like this: one company which I don’t want to name, so will just say it’s initials - IBM

You can add that their client was actually a malware at some time.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 4 months ago:
Yeah, but frankly the high seas usually provide less than Steam does even with money in the equation. And that’s probably the only case when high seas is worse, with all the other services in my experience the high seas provide better service(spotify was close). So the point is if a game doesn’t release on Steam it’s release date just moves to the moment it releases on Steam. Not the best scenario, but Steam really has little competition and Epic surely isn’t trying to be one.
- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 5 months ago:
VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn’t have.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn’t make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.
- Comment on It was rigged? 5 months ago:
That’s not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don’t get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be “you can’t fight against a child”, some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there’s no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don’t destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 5 months ago:
If I didn’t visit Lemmy, I wouldn’t even know how many people dislike them
“Many” is probably an overstatement. Lemmy echochamber is probably like 1% of ultra-leftwing Americans. Even among their country left wing is a minority. And overall the US is less than 5% of the world population. So for every person hating Musk you will probably find ten thousand who adore him. Just not on Lemmy.

- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
Actually, no. The 22 amendment says that a person can’t be “elected” as President while the 25 amendment says that the Vice President shall become President in case of resignation. No contradiction here. So while Trump can’t be elected anymore he can still become President for unlimited terms.
- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
Can’t someone run for President, name Trump his vice, then resign?

- Comment on Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy 5 months ago:
That is wrong assumption. We know that even when something is infinite it may never reach required value. Shakespeare or anything else may be a unique event in the infinite space-time universe.
- Comment on Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy 5 months ago:
You assume that monkeys are identical, communicate with each other and know what they are doing. Take one of these away and all of the infinite monkeys will press the same buttons basically making them one monkey. Take another and they will type random gibberish.
The point of the dilemma is for non of those to be the case. The point is can Shakespeare or anything valuable to humans appear in random given enough time and resources? Basically can “the AI” as we know it now that doesn’t actually have “I” create something new and valuable?
And the answer is(going from the basic maths) yes it may produce something cool but it also may never produce Shakespeare or anything cool and will never know what it can do and what it can’t.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 5 months ago:
I don’t think that’s fair. I “own” GTA5 and don’t really care for the last… 8 years? what they add. I had the full content of my purchase. Why should I be able to gain money for this?
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 5 months ago:
Luckily Valve seems to believe in freedom of decision for their users so they won’t do this. There are kernel level cheats so there are kernel level anticheats. Obviously anticheats are mostly lame in what they do so it would probably be better for them to not be kernel level. Still there are “pure malware” anticheats and Valve thinks it’s up to the user to decide if they want one, their job is to inform the user. And that’s the best approach here in my opinion.
- Comment on hard to argue with 6 months ago:
I don’t think “valid” is a proper word for someone’s life. You don’t have to be validated by anyone, you don’t own anyone anything. Do what you yourself see fit for this one-time adventure.
