the brain fills in the gap
To expand on this, current leading theory (predictive processing) says that brain first generates a visual image than confirms it with inputs and if there’s no input to confirm/deny the halucination it’s just accepted as is. So we can have a whole load of blind spots in all of our sensors and continue functioning rather well with an ocassional artifact.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 6 days ago:
If anything Steam showed us thay 60$ game is a stupid idea. Free markets pay what they feel like paying and thats when creators and consumers are the happiest not some fixed random price.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 6 days ago:
Sony and Xbox is not true capitalism because their consoles are not free markets so of course they dont like capitalism when they benefit from absolute control and can fix the prices for everything in their ecosystem.

The bike lane is like 1/3rd the size of the car lane and has more people on it.

Slow news. Literally nothing is “breaking” these days unless you’re juggling stocks and you dont really need to know news as soon as possible.

- Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2 1 month ago:
Subnautica 2 must be in a pretty dire spot for this to happen. I guess we’ll see as the story unrolls and early access comes eventually but I’ve met many successful people who stopped caring after they made it big so I really wouldn’t be surprised if the publisher is right here.
- Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2 1 month ago:
Lmao as usual gamers rush in with outrage and turns out the issue is not that simple.
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 1 month ago:
Theres definitely some risk especially in semi-anonymous forums like Lemmy. For example Lemmy.world is blocking VPNs so they know everyone’s IP addresses and given post history etc its very easy to actually identify who’s who. Especially now with AI forensics.
That being said, as a security expert, I think it’s not always productive for casual people to be obsessed with this and you if you can you should use a VPN or a mobile network which due to how cell towers work is much more anonymous than anything else in practice (datacenter IPs work too as well as TOR but those are blocked in practice)

It makes difference for them self correcting their world model. Turn the other cheek and all etc.
- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 1 month ago:
It’s called outside!
Joking aside, its fundamentally unlikely as if you’re not paying you’re the product and maintaining a dating network is a lot of work both in admin tasks, technical tasks and legal tasks.

- Comment on Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)? 1 month ago:
Check out teaching programs in Thailand which is probably the most trans safe country in the world. If you’re a native English speaker with teaching training you can get a work visa and a ~1k usd/mo job which is more than enough in this region and generally the organization hiring you handles everything including housing except the flight and initial embassy application.
The trans culture here is ancient and thus a bit different though so you might need to familiarize with that first and see if its acceptable for you.

Unless they come from a culture where living with your parents is absolutely normal which is surprisingly still very common.
- Comment on Anon remembers moot 1 month ago:
I’m not sure if they’re all that different. Early forums were very much similar to Facebook walls etc. Irc even had bot powered gamed and complex systems like user verification etc.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 month ago:
- Comment on Anon remembers moot 1 month ago:
I disagree with this very western take. Social media is huge and connects billions of people that otherwise would be disconnect. It also allowed to rise of many net positive liberal ideas especially in the eveloping countries and the incredible economical stimulation is rarely talked about.
People forget how bad the world was before internet. Sure it raises some issues but also solved much more.
- Comment on Anon remembers moot 1 month ago:
Yeah to me it seems very clear that 4chan is a net negative on the society. We all would have been better off if it wasn’t created and I say that as someone who did find value there in the early days (had a decent programming community)
