  • You know, I never thought I would be praising Fallout for its prescience in predicting the future.

  • Come on, I know there's Germans about. What the hell does it say lol? Here's what Claude says:

    The fire department's rescue and firefighting group vehicle... It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses... (text cuts off)

    So I am guessing "Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug" is "rescue and firefighting group vehicle?"

  • No, they just don't give a fuck. The vast majority know it's lies, they just want their side to rule and elections be damned.

  • Thanks to the work Valve has done shoring up gaming support with Steam Deck, it will be for me. When Win10 support ends on October 14, 2025 I will end my final tiny bit of support for Microsoft: my desktop gamer.

  • How do you call something a "mistake" when you allowed it to continue for four fucking years?

  • Interesting all this WP news I'm hearing today. Last week I downloaded the entirety of Wikipedia. Anyone can do it, the base archive (no pictures) is only about 25G, although the torrent is slow AF, took me... almost 2 weeks to download it.

    I did this because I feel like this might be the last chance to get a version of it that has any vestige of the old order in it, the old order being "trying to stick to ideals and express truth rather than rewriting history to the fascists' specifications."

    I'd love to be wrong, but if I'm not, I feel like it will potentially be a good reference in the future if needed.

  • July 4, 2012. The day the Higgs Boson was discovered. Everything since has done nothing but get stranger and stranger. I won't even say it's all just gone to shit. It's just to me, everything since has been... increasingly unreal.

  • It's all the same on lemmy.world, I had a comment deleted yesterday in /c/showerthoughts. Reason given: "Lots of generalizing going on."

    I was not the OP, just a commenter, but the thread title was Religious people are the original "gamers...". My now-deleted post just said I thought it was a mostly apt metaphor except that gamers don't think their games are real. That's it.

    So some mod is butthurt because, I don't know... Jesus or whatever and I get my comment deleted like I did something wrong, which I didn't. I didn't violate any rules nor the code of conduct. It's all the same, new boss same as the old boss.

    Edit: fucking coward, too - signs his delete using automod. Typical.

  • They despise FDR. Despise is too kind of a word for how they feel about FDR. That makes zero sense.

  • One would like to think so. The problem is that imagining a right-wing Republican willing to jackboot some motherfuckers is easy; imagining one who wants to out-FDR FDR? Come on.

  • Why do Putin and the billionaires he shepherds think that all this far-right democracy killing shit is so super duper? I marvel that they never seem to stop and think "this could eventually go badly for me."

  • I have... lots of media available on a local Plex server, several thousand movies and tv shows, continuously growing, never getting smaller - more than you can say for streaming services. I have an OTA DVR for local stations so I can watch sports on the weekend and maybe some PBS content. I pay $0/mo for all of it.

  • All they have to do is tell them the reason it has to be done is LIBRULS and boom. All anger directed at Nancy Pelosi, all is forgotten.

  • It should also be mentioned that it wouldn't be running out if they didn't cap the taxable income at $168,000. If you make $168,000 a year you pay the same social security tax as every millionaire and billionaire. BuT iTs InSoLvEnT
