I feel like it"s the opposite - people blame economic system for their problems because they look for an easy simple answer where they are justified of not doing anything.

Can someone define catgirl? Is it just cosmetic or do I need a litter box?

fiber is under rated for real
- Comment on time to eat 2 weeks ago:
Meal prep fiber/protein rich food is my best attempt at this. I usually do brown rice with toppings and egg every single day; twice per day. Very hard to get bored because you can vary the toppings - eggplant, beans, curry, soy protein, stir fried stuff - and brown rice is fiber which is hard to be bored of smaller carb/glucose-spike footprint.
Just don’t freeze it, the crystals will mush the texture and you’ll get bored of the slop feel very quickly.

You can monetize the power shout somehow in this capitalistic society. Worst case shout onlyfans? Even Cameo that app where you pay someone 199$ to say something.

Kinda expensive at 1,000 usd but I guess it’s to be expected with current market conditions. I bought my 16gb refurb for like 250 just 2 years ago. Crazy difference.
- Comment on What do you think about the dead internet theory? 2 weeks ago:
I do believe there’s a very real risk of several related scenarios but it can be a good thing.
One of my favorite answers to fermi paradox - why we dont encounter other life in the universe - is that civilization is a tool not a goal. This hypothesis implies that as soon as civilization empowers individuals enough to be self sustainable they retreat to their own space ships as cooperation and conflict are simply undesirable. If you can quantum print anything you want and you have an AI interface to educate, entertain you and be your safe gate to a shared network then why would you spend all that effort to group together?
If this hypothesis has any merit then we’d first see this happen on the digital space. Instead of interfacing to lemmy where there are straight up lies you need to verify yourself and conflicts you need to endure you can have a AI interface that abstracts all that away from you.
Is this dead internet? Kinda, at least of current understanding. Is this bad? Only if we risk capture by allowing manipulation of these interfaces. This is why libre software is critical for our future - we must trust out software if we delegate such responsibility to it. - Comment on What do you think about the dead internet theory? 2 weeks ago:
I somewhat agree with you. Feels like Idealism is primed for a pop culture comeback and tbh it might not be a bad thing. We are way to obsessed by finding “one true timeline” when there’s simply no such thing.

Yeah the sword of damocles is real here but I think a lot of capable people are under selling themselves and could easily find fit when let go.
The real risk is allowing billionaires to monopolize the market and seems like people are conflating this with LLMs as a technology. It’s ludites all over again.
- Comment on 🤔 Interesting 2 weeks ago:
Why corporate? Open source LLMs also use this data (even more so) and imo will eventually win over current market loss leaders.
If you truly believe information should be free and accessible to all then LLMs - which are just intelligent interface to our collective compressed information - are a good thing.
- Comment on 🤔 Interesting 2 weeks ago:
I’m actually a guy who did this. 50k reputation on stack overflow, several tech blogs, reddit contributions and you know what? I love that LLMs are “stealing” my content. Most of us just do it for the love of the game and genuine belief that free information is good for the society. The only down side is not getting attribution credit which sucks but nothing compared to the benefits we all get.
Also no one’s capable of creating this is being replaced by an LLM. Let’s be clear here. If you are capable of educating complex tech subjects you are already in the top 10% of the market.

Thanks, I’ve tried both with no luck but I’m on an immutable linux distro and there are some fixes but it’s a real time sink.

The foviated rendering is what I’m really excited about. NMS has a lot of menus in inventory management etc and it’s surprisingly tiring in VR.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Yes with recent Steam VR Beta branch I got my Quest 3 to work but it takes like 5 attempts to get it working and you have to restart either pc or vr device every attempt. It’s very close though! By the time the VR device actually drops Valve will probably fix Steam VR on linux.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
I’m still getting one but this is clearly a luxury item now rather than a competitive console. Sucks to be Valve here, the timing really worked against them.
I just really hope the VR headset is not much worse than this as I just want to play No Man’s Sky on linux VR.

Op is full of shit my bet. I love collecting these refurbished lenovo corporate gadgets and 32gb ddr5 is extremely unlikely as I’ve never seen one. In general lenovo towers are not really usable for gaming but awesome home servers.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely. I might not agree with his opinions but leaks were clearly a net good for the humanity and incredibly hard thing to do.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 4 weeks ago:
It could always be worse. In much of Asia the standard work week is still 6 days per week. In China for example it’s often 9-9-6 which is 9am to 9pm 6 days per week.
This almost feels intentional though. If you’re working all the time you have less time to grow and realize how injust much of the world is.

This seems like just poor planning rather than signaling. Let be real here. What is GOG or the devs to gain from this, it’s silly.

I hope the combat has stronger identity in this one. Really love GW2 but the combat felt very flimsy and each identity seems like tried to be different from usual rpg roles and never had a solid identity that felt as good as classic roles.

Did you read the article? It’s not Schutzstaffel.

But it’s not the same symbol despite being two of them.
Let’s not nazis hijack the letter S and fucking sun now shall we? This is so tiring.

Everyone loves Nietche but no one is actually living Nietche. Sure it’s a useful tool if you stop, analyze this emotion and built from it but how many people are actually capable of this in practice? Instead people just get captured by the emotion and never progress.
I don’t think pop culture will ever view jealousy as a positive emotion until we collectively learn emotions.
