- Comment on Lossless Scaling Frame Gen gets a Decky Loader Steam Deck plugin but there's drama 9 hours ago:
Do we need more manufactured drama? The dev made a pretty straightforward response clarifying that he didn’t make the plugin and there are some fundamental issues with it. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

You need to stop doing that yesterday. That’s literally what this meme is making fun of. The issue isn’t difficulty cleaning, of course it comes off. The issue is putting huge amounts of fat in your drains or septic system that will lead to massive problems down the line.

Yeah, most families where I live keep a grease jar. You don’t throw it out, bacon fat stays good for months, it’s like a little tub of Crisco but a thousand times better tasting.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 5 days ago:
They both are. Both agreements can be terminated for any reason. Larion’s says nothing that would prevent them from terminating the agreement, it only clarifies that the signer can. There’s no real difference here.

Have you ever cooked bacon? That’s about the only grease I’ve known folks to save. Maybe some from ground beef if you’re cooking up a whole lot.

You get how that works right though? If you employ 10 people for a task at your business, then get a new tool that lets your employees process twice as many clients, you can cut your workforce in half. It’s not really about replacing every person with AI, it’s just another way to automate and reduce your workforce to concentrate wealth. It’s nice that you haven’t seen that, but I certainly have. I run a manufacturing business and I’ve already seen artists replaced and staff slashed at a dozen of my suppliers. Maybe not all because of AI specifically, but it’s certainly a significant component.
The fact that your boss tells you to disguise it marketing speak doesn’t mean the companies you’re pitching this to don’t understand what ‘enhancing people’ means.

From your link: Small businesses employ a similar percentage of the United States private sector workforce (46%)
That’s exactly what I said.
You’re not wrong about the current gen AI, but that hasn’t stopped adoption or investment into the tech. Even in current states, there are plenty of reasonable uses where it enables one person to manage a significantly higher workload, which translates to fewer employees needed.
Considering how much the current administration has invested into the technology, I certainly hope it can deliver on a fraction of what’s been promised.
- Comment on Freedom 6 days ago:
If you ignore context, ‘facts’ can tell all kinds of lies.
If AI isn’t replacing people, what’s the point? Why would a business invest in it?
Jobs are up, but not full-time jobs. Growth in part time jobs and gig work is contributing to most of the job growth, having more people working 2 and 3 jobs is not a sign of economic growth.
And small businesses account for about 46% of us jobs. Not even a majority, certainly not most.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 week ago:
You’re inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.
Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.
Honestly I don’t know why I’m bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 week ago:
And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you’re dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?
I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don’t have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren’t convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 week ago:
The hypocrisy of claiming that you can’t judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you’ve never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.
Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 week ago:
You’re judging the gaming habits of the entire population of Lemmy based on a couple anecdotes from random threads? And you want to talk about not making snap judgements?
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 1 week ago:
Based on what exactly? I’ve gone to one of his events, he’s pretty explicit about being a science educator. I can’t say I’ve seen him claim otherwise anywhere, though people definitely like to put those words in his mouth.
- Comment on Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman 3 weeks ago:
‘Her’ is the director of Homeland Security I clearly referenced, Kristi Noem, who claimed to be in California to remove Government Newsom from power.
This OP is an article criticizing Newsom for calling his wife the ‘First Person’ in a social media post.
Hope that clears up the details for you.
- Comment on Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman 3 weeks ago:
That’s the justification they’ve used in court for sure, but did you listen to the words that came out of her mouth? That’s the scary part. That’s the person in charge of US Homeland Security, literally telling a town hall that they’re here to remove their elected government.
And you’re sitting here squawking about Newsom calling his wife a person.
- Comment on Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman 3 weeks ago:
Last week the director of Homeland Security told the people of California that the National Guard was deployed against American citizens in California for the purpose of ‘liberating them’ from their democratically elected leadership.
Is this the justification for his corruption? He called his wife a person?
No, I probably won’t ‘get it’.
- Comment on Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman 3 weeks ago:
How exactly does using the term ‘first person’ in one online post mean anything at all? This is the most pathetic nonsense I’ve ever seen. The only people looking bad here are the idiots slopping down this culture war bullshit.
- Comment on Gavin Newsom Is So Insanely Woke That He Can't Even Call His Wife A Woman 3 weeks ago:
Why would anyone possibly care about this? How are you possibly this insecure?

Honestly yeah this just seems like an ad trying to generate interest for yet another AI app. Seems like the type of engagement meta often tries to court.
- Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes 1 month ago:
Plenty of good moves are slow, it takes time to setup a deep story. I hope you’d give Casablanca or Schindler’s List more of a chance.
But Andor is a political thriller, it’s not a fun action/adventure. If you think the beginning is boring, you probably won’t enjoy the rest anyway, it’s not for everyone.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 month ago:
That’s pretty much exactly what I’m saying. If you offer software that requires outside servers to run, you should be legally obligated to release the code used to run the servers if you discontinue supporting that software. That doesn’t make mmo’s any different, just a minor change to how they handle end of life.
- Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes 1 month ago:
You gave up 2/3 of the way through the first story arc. With the 3rd episode it clocks in at about 2 hours, there’s your movie.
You stopped the movie a little over halfway through, what did you expect?
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 month ago:
Or people are used to this concept and accept it normal instead of unethical behavior that should be illegal.
- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 1 month ago:
This has got to be machine printed right? They’re no worse than Wizard’s usual minis, but yeah they always suck. The biggest problem IMO is the sculpt, they look like they’re made out of mud. I assume it has to do with the rubber they use. I don’t know, I’m way too spoiled by printing my own to consider buying something that looks this bad.
- Comment on Trump sparks liberal meltdown as he axes taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS 2 months ago:
So then should be easy to make up for the lack of taxpayer funding then, right? If it costs so little, the people who care about it should be happy to pay for it. :)
I’m not gonna engage with bad faith bait. That’s idiotic and we both know it.
They could have avoided this if they would have stayed neutral in their reporting and staffing.
Well I guess they could have given up reporting on reality like most corporate media, but that was one of the primary advantages of not being a corporate owned propaganda machine.
- Comment on Trump sparks liberal meltdown as he axes taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS 2 months ago:
Truly pathetic. They cost the American people so little, and have done incredible good for this country. This is nothing but a loss for all Americans, and will do nothing to help balance this dumpster fire of a budget.

My understanding is that they were embryos from HIV infected parents, so they had very little chance of avoiding infection during birth. His argument is that their chances of survival were already so low, there’s little harm that could be done if the treatment wasn’t effective.

Cool, at this rate he only needs to cut another 56,000 contracts to make up for the 500 billion in lost tax revenue this clown will cost us this year.

I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
