I understand the sentiment against the kernel based anti cheat, but as someone who's played a lot of Counterstrike the top level, cheating essentially ruins the native game and forces you to use 3rd party matchmaking systems (Pre verified era)
I appreciate Riot for implementing Vanguard into Valorant, I don't play a lot but it seems in a far better position because of the ability to control native matchmaking.
I'm also hoping the introduction to league leads to Smurf reduction which is primarily the biggest problem with their native matchmaking system.
In a lot of a states you can bring forward laws to ballots that amend the state constitutions with enough public signatures. I think in our modern day lack of a useful government officials we should use this tool far more often to attempt to ensure a healthier government.
that region has always has the pressing issue of devout followers of religions engaging in war?
From a historical context "That region" was in a golden age for hundreds of years with a heavy emphasis on education, engineering, and the arts. The downfall of the golden age is attributed towards elites maintaining too much political power and driving focus away from education and scientific output.
Very similar to what we're seeing with the US now. Your argument can entirely be pinned to the US now with Christianity, instead you choose to blame the region and the people for whatever reason that might be.
The issue generally isn't ever religion, religion is used as a tool to fuel hatred by the elites. I'm also not including the massive amount the US has fucked the middle east by unnecessary intervention to fuel their own geopolitical advantage and wealth, which again elites using fear and hatred to increase their power and wealth. People aren't the problem the elites are.
I've noticed these past few weeks the For you algorithm has actually been feeding me content similar to what I've been liking. It hasn't been that way for a year or two so that's nice, the problem i nowadays is I'm slammed with scammy crypto promoted tweets by the bucket load.
It also skirts around the fact that the main reason China is so prominent in the EV market, both locally and internationally, is because Tesla's biggest factory is located in China.
Tesla's aren't really the go-to EV locally in China. BYD is mostly the go-to and they're even starting to overtake Tesla internationally as well.
Battery powered cars are likely to do the same thing. We are at the point were we are realizing that this won't scale up.
This is a very Western (US especially) argument. All across major cities in the East, China specifically you're already seeing major cities becoming increasingly electrified far far beyond what is both being done in the US currently and what is capable of being done by the US in the next 10 years.
China is definitely not one of the highest polluters per capita. And that's also taking into the fact that most of the Western world is produced there.
I generally do this for all my media, but I will never do this for music, there's just such a huge lack of discoverability. Are you just never seeking out new music on the fly?
I would say the prospect of the Taiwanese blowing up their factories instead of bowing to the will of Bejing is not really that far fetched.
The very CCP friendly candidate was leading a few weeks ago at 65% of the majority polled, which is why Xi came to the US under such friendly terms for the SF meet.
He fucked up pretty hard and immediately dipped down to 15% though IIRC.
The DNC (and RNC) both operate as businesses in practice and will put forth oppositions in specific races that are more advantageous for specific donors. These backed members are heavily funded the up winning most the time, despite often being worse candidates.
Recently Tim Burchet was threatened by the RNC to heavily fund an opposition in his next race and he upset the military industrial complex donors attempting to pursue the UAP investigation SCIF.
Also pretty visible in 2016 when Bernie was leading the Democratic primary race until the DNC backed Hilary which massively turned the entire race. You can argue that she would've won anyways, which is a fair argument. But the reason it wasn't close was the DNC backing.
If we can absolve all lobbying then I'll agree that we live closer to a democracy, but right now we're very plutocratic.
Lemmy definitely showing its older age skew here lol. Almost anything related to any social media will be better vertical. (Even lemmy itself ironically)
Hell the vertical video trend on TikTok this year was a phenomenal trend and I even recall seeing A24 doing a vertical trailer cut just for TikTok.
Yes thank you as I never see this being mentioned around here. I believe the last monthly active users was 300k? While it's not nothing, meta doesn't give any shit about a one time acquisition of 300k users who don't want to use their platform.
We aren't even "worth" extinguishing right now. These decisions are being made at a level far above us. We just don't know why yet. I'm expecting them to use ActivityPub as a tie in for Threads/Insta/FB.
Not exactly for historical searching but for current news, I have been using Feedly and it's been fantastic for grouping my local news sources/blogs together into one feed.
I can sit here and spin the exact same question about reducing global exploitation.
Reducing global exploitation would implies self sustainability and with the west, particularly the US, they never reach self sustainability with their current economic model of giving 95% of their production/wealth to the top 1% while a very large portion of its population is struggling economically/mentally/physically.
It's a stepping stone in the problem of global exploitation, but it can't happen overnight nor independently.
It is unreasonable to assume a model outside of this will be attainabille within the next two centuries.
Instead let's focus on drawing back the exploitation within our own country this century then we can shift our perspective. We will never stop exploiting the poorest countries if we're still exploiting our poorest citizens.
