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 2 weeks 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.

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? 2 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

As non-american I’m becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.

- Comment on Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)? 4 weeks 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.

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 Anon remembers moot 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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)

Young adults needs stronger world frameworks that don’t feel forced on them.
IMO that’s a virtue system!
I’ve been a Stoic for over 20 years now and managed to convert dozens of people to progressive thought just by discussing virtues that are inherit to human nature (justice, courage, wisdom, temperance). People like abstract virtues because they’re easy to incorporate to their personal world models with very little friction and friction is the real thought killer.
Most people are truth seeking but can be very slow learners and some really rebel against strong friction so there’s a need for more abstract approaches like - using “colorblind” instead of arguing race, using “cosmopolitan” when argueing geopolitics, using “secular” when arguing religion etc etc. Every other argument can follow afterwards.
This is the way.

The world is not America - so how come this is an issue in other places?

Funny how all of that is straight up solved with any package manager or even git itself (with submodules) for free and yet gaming community is protecting some proprietary burning heap of garbage.
