It’s corrupt, illegal steering with one extra digital step. But the collapse of the economy is fine, because computers are helping them do it.
- Comment on 'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment 2 days ago:
The entire thing feels exploitative and gross for everyone involved, both the streamers and the people watching / paying them.
Exploitation of others is the beating heart of capitalism.

I don’t understand PvP. In games like this it’s toxic by design and I don’t understand how that is supposed to be fun for anyone. It makes me concerned for society that games specifically designed to ruin someone else’s day are this popular.
- Comment on Is airtags really useful? 3 days ago:
I keep one in my bag and it has saved me more than once. After that, I started putting them in and on everything. They are very useful.

Could it be sarcoidosis?
- Comment on 3 days ago:
It’s a shame. I tried it last night and it has a lot of good ideas and atmosphere, but it was ruined for me by the one thing that ruins every game in this genre, PvP.
I would eat up a purely co-op version of this, even if other humans were replaced with NPCs, but I don’t have the stomach or tolerance for any kind of PvP.
- Comment on Project Rebearth (in development), an MMO city-builder, with a top-down map style view, where players repopulate a 1:1 replica of Earth, releases a demo on Steam. 6 days ago:
I’ll buy it just to support this ideologically. The graphics look like one of those old TTRPG map maker programs, which I love.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
There has been a noticeable uptick in new rightist accounts lately.
Instead of blocking people, I tag the bad actors in Voyager and have noticed that most of the toxicity comes from the same small group of specific people.
- Comment on Xbox consoles and games will no longer be sold at Walmart and Target, according to employees 1 week ago:
GamePassBox is not popular while people struggle to afford even the basic costs of living? Who could have predicted this?
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 1 week ago:
This is a dream come true. I just need someone to do this for Alpha Centauri and I can die happy.
- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 2 weeks ago:
A thing you buy should always include all the things you need to use it. Not just a charger and cable, that includes batteries where relevant.

There are dozens of us.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 2 weeks ago:
I’ve always ignored Photopea because it’s completely proprietary and the pricing is predatory. I don’t approve of those models, the same reason I won’t touch Adobe.
I wish Affinity would just release linux versions, but I expect those to get worse now that they are owned by Serif.
I think your best bet is to buckle down, swallow your pride, and learn Gimp. Yeah, it’s a dumpster fire if you come from a Photoshop background because it isn’t trying to copy Photoshop, it wants to be its own thing. But even though it seems counterintuitive due to your years of existing programming, it is quite powerful.

I think the joke is that the deer is very well hung and the dog doesn’t want it to go away.
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 2 weeks ago:
If they are doing their thing on a closed course, I have no problem. But if it is on public roads, then they are endangering others and that makes you a bad person.
- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 2 weeks ago:
I do not miss periods.
Wait, we were talking about punctuation, weren’t we?
- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 2 weeks ago:
I will never stop using them. Fuck AI. I won’t let it take the joy of nice, legible formatting away from me.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 2 weeks ago:
Even if 1/3 of their subscribers cancel they still come out ahead because of lower infrastructure costs. i doubt they are going to see a 1/3 reduction in subscribers, so capitalist exploitation and enshittification will win again.
- Comment on EA's new owners are making "a huge bet" on generative AI cost-cutting to help repay a $20 billion loan, claims report 3 weeks ago:
I have some bad news for the new owners.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 3 weeks ago:
I stopped using them a long time ago. Since they don’t seem interested in moderating their own forums in the slightest, Valve should really shut them all down. The Steam forums are such cesspits of hate speech, bigotry, and toxicity that I actually feel dirty every time I buy a game on Steam. That is not okay.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m a leftist and I have nothing against managers. I have been one. There are lots of people who have no business being in any position of authority or responsibility, and those are the people we all have problems with, not the job or title.
Yes, apologize. Extend an olive branch. If she’s one of the genuinely great people who have found their way to management, then show her some courtesy and it will pay dividends for both of you. Generally speaking, being courteous, empathetic, and constructive is always the best first approach.

- Comment on If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action? 3 weeks ago:
Call ICE on her. She could be one of those criminal Canadians or Irish or Greeks.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 4 weeks ago:
And that is the tip of the iceberg because Seneca could have put together a series-worth of hate quotes from Kirk. He spent years and years spreading hate, fear, and stochastic terrorism.
- Comment on New Arizona law to restrict online porn access; Pornhub will block state 4 weeks ago:
Which is ridiculous if you think about it. The whole point of a website is that the visitor goes to them. Unless their servers are located in a place that place should have no jurisdiction or authority over them whatsoever.

- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 4 weeks ago:
That one universal linux is Fedora, or OpenSuse, or Debian, or Pop_OS. Take your pick.
I recommend Bazzite to gamers. If you primarily play games, there is no reason to look at anything else.
If you want more control and like to experiment, try one of the above distros I mentioned. I like Fedora and constantly come back to it, but any Linux with KDE Plasma is going to be fine for most people. I am very excited for the upcoming version of Pop_OS with the Cosmic desktop beta. There is a strong chance that becomes my go-to once that releases, since it has the good parts of Ubuntu and none of the bad ones.
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu are the only ones I tell people to avoid. Also, avoid Arch until you get really into Linux and crave complete control.
