what? if you have something to add please do. i do not see the benefit of federation in my voip
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 6 days ago:
yea, but with the video streaming team speak seems better equipped for gameing, at the cooler of the federated capability of martix, but i am not sure what these benefits would be

i mean… i will pay the license for it, AND i have to self host it, so they have a monetary scheme that will delay the need for sensitization. but it’s 5$ or something, and reportedly has better audio quality, faster transfer rates, and lower overhead then discord. and because i am hosting it, i will have complete control over it and its white list

already making plans with my battle group t move to team speak 6, which is only an option because they now have screen sharing
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 1 week ago:
sure? but i am not arguing for the benefits of the KFC double down with bacon. i already acknowledged that not all vegans are like that, but you are being dishonest if you are claiming my critique of the vegan spaces are not dominated by the loudest and most brash of the extremes, and in lemmy it’s usually directed at ransoms who wander in from /all. and it’s an all or nothing situation, where vegetarians are branded with the same iron as people who advocate for animal harm.
i prefaced with understanding that a community is not just its loudest and obnoxious people, but nonetheless they set the tone
- Comment on Top of the world, ma 1 week ago:
it’s not because they are trying to spread awareness. now obviously not all blah blah blah., but they have a tendency to be highly sanctimonious and abrasive, they accept no partial measures and treat it like like a cult would in the eve of the coolaid tasting party.
kind hard to see their point of view in the other end of a carnist label spat at you.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
market dominance is not a monopoly. market dominance is a label given to the most successful product. and the product is successful because they offer a service that none else seems to be able to or wish to fulfill.
devs can choose to sell their game on steam, or windows live, or gog, epic game store, playstation, nintendo online, android app store, ios app store, on their own site, eb games, or the back of their car, what ever.
are all of these equally effective? nope. when you put your game on steam you get, the vast user base cultivated by valve, server space to host your game, massive server upload speeds, a built in store front, the discussion boards, steam game cloud, the stream overlays and stream input, steam workshop, community hubs, steam achievements, global money processing, themed sales, two special discovery windows. blah blah blah.
again, it’s up to the dev to decide if they want to pay 30% for these things.
to put it in perspective, when epic game store has a sale, steam makes a profit.

and steam needs data centers and servers and power and all the stuff to keep those running. ultimately though it didn’t matter. if steam thinks that their ecosystem is worth charging that much, then it’s up to the dev to decide if what steam provides is worth it to them

by the time someone tells you directly they are annoyed by something you have done, it’s gone past the “ i don’t like it but i’m going to just deal with it” stage.

- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 3 weeks ago:
that was not the implication, the implication is that if they were healthy enough to seek social fulfillment by “dating” multiple therapists, then they would have been healthy enough that they would have found social fulfillment by dating.
not that sex is some magic panacea.
i am pointing out an oxymoron
- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 3 weeks ago:
if op had the bandwidth to treat going to therapy like dating, they problem would not be a virgin, and would possibly not need therapy

- Comment on you're doing ReSeArCh rong!! 1 month ago:
no.
steroids are a specific thing, and are not used in vaccines. steroids can’t cause autism even if that was the case. vaccines can not cause autism at all. vaccines work by incapacitating a viral or bacterial agent, sprinkling some red flag on it and dumping it in your system for the immune system to stumble across
autism is a developmental issue, either selected genes at conception mess with developmental plans, or something interrupts development before birth. vaccines do not have a chance to be administered before that period is over.
also!
GMO’s are a meaningless designation to determine harm in any regard. all it dictates is whether humans have in any fashion altered the organism. bananas are GMO not because we went mad with genetic code splicing, but because we artificially selected for maximizing the food portion and minimizing the seed output, and use cuttings from the result to grow the same plant over and over. you might as well have said “red foods can also be dangerously although not likely”
also,
there are people who do believe in flat earth, because otherwise their religion is false.

- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 2 months ago:
Its a failure of government and a failure of culture not a result of the economic system.
if the system does not account for its government, or its culture, then the system is wrong, and will fail.
you can not expect success from a system that fails when up against human nature, its literal purpose is to interface with humans.
that being said, no system lasts forever and should be considered only as useful as the how effective freedoms are and the length of time it can be maintained

Systems are there to solve the human problem, but there is no system that can’t be eventually by people and gamed.
so what do you do?
you take on the mind set that nothing is everlasting. you stretch out the good times and you nip the bad times in the bud. maximize responsible individual freedoms, minimize group power. and when the system is no longer able to resist being gamed, you tear it down, and start anew. maybe every 5 generations or so

a system that does not account for abuse will fail. but let’s not be so defeatist. society may go in cycles of rise and decline. we just have to stretch the rise and force the reset early enough to mitigate the harm. and while what comes after the next revolution may fail eventually, the good times should be fought for none the less. and be ever vigilant to remind those whom we entrust power that the leviathan sleeps as long as it’s cared for.

if your instinct is to blame human nature, you are wrong. i mean, not wrong that human nature is flawed, but wrong in that you are effectively arguing there can never be a solution to anything.
solving problems requires tackling the human element. and often times means holding people accountable.
