It’s almost as if people had a biological drive to it that only tends to balance out when they find a mate to share it with.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
There’s no way it’s a sci-fi version of Skyrim and it does not live on in the gaming zeitgeist, specially when the mods really begin rolling out.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
I’ve seen some pretty absurd complaints, like the not being able to land on gas planets, or people complaining due to ridiculously high but present area limitations. Absurd complaints always seem to surround the media people whom people blame of being “woke”, which is why I usually give them the extra benefit of a doubt, people will make or criticize shit for reasons they don’t say out-loud.
Then there’s the real complaints about performance, which I personally haven’t experienced because of a top tier PC, and people not liking the Bethsoft sort of gameplay loop, which this is and has definitely improved upon IMO. Not only will this game be played for years on end like Skyrim, but I suspect it will also spark a much needed MMO off-shoot in the space genre just like their Fallout and The Elder Scrolls games did.

That is definitely not my experience.
- Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything? 1 year ago:
Not usually, but if you think you might be vitamin deficient because of disease or eating habits, then they can actually be useful. Reminds me of this video, for whom they would certainly have been useful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VINtwoyaF_8

Another free remaster to try to sell the NVIDIA 40xx generation, can’t complain.

Yes, a censorship state is muuuuch more objective.
Shouldn’t you be checking your banking accounts to see how many are at risk of getting closed off without warning due to defaults from the Evergrande crash?Everything is fine, nothing to see here. - CCP - Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
Not sure if you are willfully trying to act like an idiot, but congratulations on the block.

So you want me to provide an example, in a topic talking about piracy, for a comment that was replying in regards to it … that isn’t about piracy!?
Have you looked at how much seizures police and interpol perform in IP? Do you have any reason to expect an exception?
Maybe you’ll find this link more relevant: torrentfreak.com/police-raid-usenet-service-arres…
But there’s so many examples of server seizures for these sort of crimes, it’s almost bordering on the line of misinformation to claim otherwise.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
Learn about the legal process, it’s the lawyers who made the case before the court who then gave green light for those search warrants.

That’s basically the WWW in a nutshell, applied to the fediverse.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
An instance of lawyers coercing police into taking into custody entire servers? Sure.

Consider how common these types of seizures are, you can search for more on your own.
- Comment on So much for that dream. 1 year ago:
Sort of feel that dream really went downhill fast the moment troll factories and Cambridge Analytica / Emerdata showed how much it could be milked and paved the way for the expansions on doing it.

Ok … do people not think that lawyers send out DMCA takedown notices and coerce police into taking into custody entire servers? Because lawyers send out DMCA takedown notices and coerce police into taking into custody entire servers…
I guess it would be Hetzner instances, news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32470266, and it would be Hetzner who would get contacted and potentially shut down lemmy.world in their case. Let’s not even talk about the people launching DDoS’es against lemmy.world and how they could abuse it similarly.
It seems lemmy.world has only blocked communities, not entire servers in this case. I mean, get behind all the comments calling for a migration to “avoid instances moderated by clowns” and migrate all you want (wishing migrating was actually possible instead of simply creating new users), but I personally will stay in the server who has a code of conduct that considers legal concerns and doesn’t think that just because they are on the internet in a less popular medium that will eventually grow that it will get ignored.
I’ll just move if it gets taken down for incompetence or bogus reasons anyway, because all the dumb drama doesn’t really matter in the fediverse.
- Comment on probably my biggest gripe with Lemmy right now. Feels like I'm just stuck in a loop. 1 year ago:
My biggest gripe is getting a reply, clicking to see the context of the reply, and getting the same reply thrown back at me with no context.
- Comment on Well...that was anticlimactic 1 year ago:
They just confirmed that Unidentified Flying Objects and Top Secret classifications were real, and made a whole bunch of speculations about what were probably quick dried corpses that bulged where the bones and evaporating liquids would have made them bulge that were collected from experimental high altitude tests that distracted a whole bunch of people and actual wild goose chases.

An exit interview will reveal that they want a ping-pong table and that’s why they are leaving? I want to know where this course is from.
- Comment on Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA 1 year ago:
It’s almost as if UFOs correspond to experimental high altitude projects and the bodies of quick dried astronauts from the early days that now passes up as current day pilots having some fun and trying to track low flying duck on their fast flying jets and submitting it as a UFO and trolls trying to prove how stupid the rest of society is by creating absurd claims and seeing if they fly.

There is a multiverse, it exists and is called the realm of thought. There is a universe where it isn’t, it’s called reality.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll you a universe inside a multiverse that is essentially unreachable and for all intensive purposes could be treated as a universe where the multiverse is false, are we good?

- Comment on Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately. 1 year ago:
A good analogue might be the taxi industry, which has fostered an industry accustomed to misleading its clients through a number of means because of an outdated means of charging for fares. In some countries, they require special licenses, and they’ve forced restrictions on companies like Uber and who can work for them. It’s a case of new industries versus the old ones, and once Uber made it through, they also paved the way for their alternatives.
It’s sort of the same with Amazon and e-commerce, except Amazon has much more cash flow available due to the reasons you’ve discussed. Traditional multinational chains say they are threatened, but maybe they should be and should consider innovating and letting the consumer experience they should expect be put into law.

Here’s some more info about unions in Europe.
Amazon may be monopolistic, but I have access to more products through from different brand names than I do through the rest of the local multinational chains. I see your point, but it’s also pretty hard to address without favoring other potential mega-corporations nowadays. The core problem is that there is one country that can realistic regulate it, and it is profit driven. Individually, each country can try to compete by subsidizing the competition in the areas those companies succeed in, by say putting decent refund and customer care into the law, subsidizing insurance to that extent, and making distribution networks accessible to small business. Once those standards are in place, it becomes easier to prosecute Amazon for anti-competitive monopolistic practices if they don’t stick to them. The problem is, each country usually has their own interests that don’t care for that either, and it wouldn’t be international.
Amazon should be divided into different businesses, but if US telecoms have proved anything, it’s that they usually end up working themselves back into the same group. But I see that as a separate more overarching issue than the rights of the workers it employs and the quality of their employment in their distribution warehouses.

They can’t do this in Europe, plus they actually have decent refund policies where normal stores shit on you after purchase. Getting groceries from them is also a great convenience for the same reasons. Part of the order got missing? Free refund or same day delivery. Plus, some local stores charge even more for products without delivering them to your door.
So at least in Europe, where they can unionize and can and do protest for their rights, I don’t see them as any worse than many other multinational chains that do the same. And if they had to stop operations in my country, there aren’t going to be a proportional number of stores that are going to start opening up. If the number of their employees does increase, it’s going to be for worse paying jobs.
