I assume then that the next election won’t be pretty for them

Pretty much every political commentator at this point is confident that they're going to be wiped out and lose worse than they ever have in history. So yeah, not pretty.

That said it's their own fault, Sunak was supposed to bring things around, but he's basically done nothing and just sat there being useless while the right wing nationalist element of his own party essentially destroy their election chances. It's bizarre watching them go at it, it's like they were sent from the future with a mission to ensure the conservative party is never politically electable ever again.

Perhaps we could try and go a week without someone in government committing a crime.

You mean you are?

There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it's complete non-issue.

Perhaps it's time for the US air force to do some kind of intelligence review on its generals. You know, perhaps they should make sure that they have some.

Is Texas now competing to be more or diseutopian than North Korea because it's certainly seems like that appears to be the goal.

But I still need the website to actually download the game my point is if GOG went down I would be in exactly the same situationm I have no way to get another copy of the game.

So it isn't any more convenient to me than Steam

I can only base this on my own government but I'd say about only a small fraction of the right wing party are full on Nazi's, the rest are just awful people but they're not evil. Although it is hard to tell because quite a lot in the greedy, which from a distance can't look the same.

I'm too lazy to block the individual /c/. Personal Instance-level blocking can't come soon enough.

A lot of the apps for Lemmy do actually have this feature. It's one of the reasons I used them and not the website.

Yeah, Lemmy has address to this by just having an incredibly glitchy algorithm (look at this post with five up votes from four months ago, it deserves to be on the front page). No one can game it because no one understands it.

People throw around the word too much, there are actual Nazis around and we need to reserve the term just for their special brand of evil. Otherwise the phrase gets so watered down as to essentially become meaningless.

Otherwise they are just rightwing dipshits.

I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

Even if I buy a game on Steam I don't technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

But some games literally don't have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.

Attacking Poland would be a stupid thing to do even if Poland wasn't a member of NATO.

The Russians can barely fight a war on one front, opening a second front would be insanely stupid.

Poland has all the same weapons Ukraine has, plus an air force capable of hitting the broad side of the barn.

What am I saying of course they're going to do it. This is the country that thinks that orbitally dropping unguided bombs constitutes an effective military strategy.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It's just an instance thing.

In that they are present at all.

The risk is Russia also has nukes and we don't 100% know that the oligarchs haven't stolen all of the uranium cores.

They'll be out in six months to a year and since it takes them forever to achieve anything I wouldn't worry.

If you've got to have a right wing fascist government hope for an incompetent one.

r/OpenAI needs a mod. Oh, it's sooo tempting to mess with them.

There's one near me with a split SSID called, VM2.4ghz and VM5ghz-not5g

I'm pretty sure it's my elderly neighbors, and I am pretty sure their kids got sick of explaining that five gigahertz and 5G are not the same thing, and neither cause covid.
