It’s better to read what you enjoy than what you “should” be reading.
Given enough time, they’ll maybe become the same thing anyway.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah they really slipped up by saying “and” using it, as opposed to “or”.
I’m going to gnaw into it like a little rat.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 3 weeks ago:
A lot of them want to use your financial data (what you buy, for how much and when) to sell to advertisers etc.
Maybe adding porn stuff in there taints the data?
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 3 weeks ago:
More compact tech usually increases pricing.
Also the need to have it not break when regularly transported in a backpack etc (think moving parts).
Also it includes a screen and controllers.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
No. Things will just get worse.
Your statement has probably been true since 2008. Maybe longer.
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 5 weeks ago:
Even on the middle east eye YouTube I’m seeing so many appeals to authority and “it’s illegal, simple as. Full stop. Not for debate”.
Not sure if brigading or what but it really worries me how people think.
It’s not like they’re stupid, it’s like it’s uncomfortable for them to think.

About 300 years after the invention of the bow, which is crazy.
It meant that the value of archers was really low from a military point of view. Those nerds were useless.
- Comment on 8999 BC 1 month ago:
They may have been mentioned/featured in things that last longer than the bows. Statues, pottery, writing on stone tablets.
Also I think they find skeletons with flint arrowheads in them sometimes too.
So it can be pieced together from lots of small, even partial data points.
But we find new stuff all the time that changes what we thought.
They found a 4000 year old bagless vacuum cleaner the other day.
That last one was a joke.

- Comment on Happy Easter from the POTUS 3 months ago:
He doesn’t post on twitter any more I think. Just his own site.
- Comment on Disappointed 3 months ago:
Haha the reaction guy does need a Winterfell style fur cloak around his shoulders though.
But like, of LARP quality though.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 5 months ago:
Screwed is always relative.
I’m hearing chat that immigrants from places like Turkey or India are going “oh yeah this is what it’s like back home”.
So it’s possible it just goes full neoliberal (i.e. no consequences or regulations for the rich) and the division of wealth grows even further.
Provided he doesn’t cause a war or some kind of other mass-death problem (chemical spills, reactor meltdown etc) it might just have a cost primarily in human suffering, as opposed to human life.
- Comment on SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck 6 months ago:
The main thing stopping me is that I only use my PC for gaming, and I know the support for drivers etc isn’t as good on Linux (though I know this is debated).
However if Linux became more centralised, with a “gaming first” distro like this, the graphics drivers would have a “main test case” to work with.
This is my theory anyway.

Warhammer Rogue trader has one character laugh and shout “haha! Reduced to dust” on a kill.
- Comment on I don't trust like that. 9 months ago:
This does have the vibe of those pro-billionaire articles the Washington Post puts out…

Oh don’t worry, there’s going to be more.
A lot of companies are working on live service games in hope of being the next overwatch/destiny.
Some even have multiple (like Sony) in the hope that even one of them takes off.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that so clearly! It’s really interesting.
- Comment on Highlander reboot, starring Henry Cavill in the lead role, the movie is set to start filming in early 2025. 1 year ago:
The first time I watched highlander (I hadn’t heard anything about the movie beforehand) I thought the actor must be Swedish, as his accent was so strange. Took me until the end of the movie he was just trying to be Scottish…
- Comment on Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be? 1 year ago:
I see a bit of everything on here, but I do like that voicing leftist ideals (not sure about left wing) doesn’t get you shot down immediately from all sides (as it would in a lot of other places).
I imagine that in general leftists exist, but avoid posting in other places due to the abuse they’d receive for doing so.

It happened where they knew you wouldn’t see them.
Unfortunately, there were no survivors.
- Comment on Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have a baby 1 year ago:
It made me cry laugh.
Because I sat there for a minute and tried to work out how it was their names.
Then I realised it wasn’t the setup to a joke. It’s just a the echo of a human, doing tricks.
