The original community was namenerds and digging through the original poster’s submission history I’m seeing some pretty bad poetry, 90 day fiance content and grieving the death of their parents: all spread out across the past year.
… I don’t think it’s a shit post.

- Comment on why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through? 4 weeks ago:
I got an Acebeam EC35 Gen II a couple years back and while there are many settings you can use there’s a big button onto he back that turns it on full blast and you click it again to turn it off. Done.

That’s not entirely true: sacrificial anodes attract and collect calcium and magnesium as well as preventing rust.

“Rosy retrospection” is the phenomenon.
Humans are flawed. We forget how much things suck and remember what was nice about them. That can be good in getting along better with other people - but it sure causes a lot of problems in a modern context.
No - the internet pre-eternal September was not perfect. Objectively speaking it was less useful and less helpful than the modern web. A bunch of old heads got mad that they couldn’t keep using the same crusty Monty Python jokes ad nauseam when they had to routinely interact with the general public.

I have family in Taiwan, that’s not a convincing argument. Thanks.

Everything always has a spin. It’s important to be critical.
That’s different than being paranoid that the CCP is controlling my mind by showing me a dog waking up it’s owner at 3am with a bowl in its mouth followed by a truck saying “Fresh milk inside” and then a stereotypical Los Angeles Latino gangster wearing an It mask and huffing from a red balloon in a storm sewer followed up with a woman in purple talking about Victorian street slang.
You’re being influenced by commenters on lemmy you should probably log off you can never be too careful. I’m actually a CIA psyop here to convince you that TikTok is bad by using reverse psychology.
- Comment on Anon browses ancient memes 1 month ago:
The quality of a meme recommended by a tuned algorithm well exceeds the quality of leekspin on its own, much less in the quantity served.
Don’t use this shit for your news or to inform your world view but use it to fuck around and enjoy yourself. That’s the point. It’s an endless feed of human creativity and the bizarre. Using it for the serious is the worst way to interact with it.
Who cares if it’s a human recommending it to me - it’s a human making it and I’m here for the creators not the middlemen.

Controversial opinion: the Internet didn’t die, you just got left behind.
Gotta keep up. The edge of culture is always moving and trying to stay put is a guarantee that you’ll miss out.
The community of memes is more varied and nuanced than leekspin ever was. There’s more lowbrow comedy sure but there’s more of all types of content.
If you only see shit you hate online it’s your fault. Go find places you enjoy (for me that’s lemmy, as an example) and teach your algorithm to stop showing you rage bait by not falling for it.
Tiktok has plenty of problems but if you teach the algorithm that the only reason you’re there is absurdism and the bizarre: you’ll end up with an absurd and bizarre feed.
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 1 month ago:
To be fair to my naive past self: it was the first mass layoff at Google, ever.
Based on my friends still there: the vibes are decidedly less trusting all around.
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 1 month ago:
Having worked at Google there wasn’t any anti-unuon propaganda or anything: it was just genuinely the best work environment I’d ever experienced… Right up until they laid me off.
So while I was there the thought of joining a union would have been “meh - what can they realistically get me?” and after the layoff was “oh yeah right they could’ve gotten me protection”

That’s pretty normal for financial charts like this though.
- Comment on Academic writing 1 month ago:
Every single word in the original post clarifies more than plain English. It is more specific and has better nuance than a plain translation.
That doesn’t make it a useful explanation because the audience of the statement is not the in-group using the jargon.
One part of my daily job is translating “technical” into “manager”. The translation always loses fidelity to the original. Jargon exists because it’s useful, not because there’s a deliberate attempt to keep others out. Some will then use it as a shibboleth but that does not mean it’s original purpose was such.
For what it’s worth: that’s true of all translations. I’ve done real time translation from Italian into English and it’s always missing the nuance of the original. I’ve read the divine comedy in English and Italian and the English is always missing the context and nuance.
Language is an abstract representation of concepts and never maps faithfully.

The suicide rate is 14 per 100k.
Being suicidal isn’t the issue here; it’s a question of actually dieing. Suicide rate, not “how many people have thought about dieing”

Then get a fucking tattoo on your forehead saying Do Not Resuscitate.
Otherwise I’m going to assume you want to live, like 99.9% of humanity when they need CPR.

Here is a short list of things that Play Services do:
- Scan for active malware
- Nearby Share
- App attestation (Required for banking apps)
- Encrypted backup of your data
- Autofill
- All push notifications
- Find my device
- Basic telemetry (talked about elsewhere in this thread but it’s telling Google who you are and where you are)
Even if you remove all telemetry you’d need to have the services running 24/7 in the background maintaining a socket connection to push notification services.

They’ve stated that the mod support includes every aspect of the game from mechanics to races to quest lines to dialogue.
So it should support your requirements.

Steam is not a publicly traded company, so they don’t pull this kind of skullduggery in service of the shareholders.
They’re a company full of people who, gasp, like video games: unlike the average navel gazing, brainless, Harvard Business School CEO.
Given their track record they’ve been more consistently “pro gamer” than other companies and are given a lot of leeway for that.

I agree it seems like AI
But if it came from anywhere it would probably be the book he published last year.
Dr Echols invented new technology allowing researchers to see anatomical features such as blood vessels with the use of CT. The Second Edition has all new images of CT based wing and leg anatomy clearly depicting important anatomic features for several avian species.

Which seems like a pretty credible origin to me
