  • Like maybe wait a few years and finance some science to check that your mega constellation of satellites (built to fail after only a few years to make sure your rocket company never goes out of work) won't be a fucking nuisance on so many levels before you actually launch them ?
    This "get all the facts before taking action" ?

    Edit: I think I knee-jerked

  • In France we treat our prisoners like utter shit. If they way you treat the people you have power over is an important marker of civilization/democracy (and I believe it is), we fail this test real hard.

    That being said, the tribunal has to specifically add to the prison sentence an exclusion from the right to vote. Iirc, about 25k prisoners (among the 75 or 80k total) have been deprived from the right to vote during their sentence.

    Voting from prison in France is complicated,there are 3 options afaik:

    • you can delegate your vote to someone on the outside
    • you can resquest a "day off" to go to the polls
    • since 2019 you can vote by correspondance

    The "can I please go out to vote" has to be approved by the warden, and dosen't happen much.
    Delegating your vote isn't always easy either, prison has a tendancy to isolate people from their former close ones.
    The correspondance vote is recent and seems like the best of the three. In 2017 (presidential electio ), less than 2% of imprisoned people had voted. In the 2022 presidential election, more than 20% of them did.

    So far, voting logistics and the feeling that society doesn't want you has imo prevented far more people to vote than the "you can't vote for the next x years" addendum to sentences.

  • Here's the thing: doing something does not always work, but doing nothing never does.
    In the provided screenshot, the devs themselves explain that asking for refunds and leaving bad reviews is what gives them enough pull to even have the discussion with sony.

    Of course you don't have to do anything, but you really don't accomplish anything by bothering the people who actually try to find ways to make the situation better.

  • But I like feeling like a real manly man when I eat my real manly meat in a real manly way with my real manly bros, surely that's worth a few hundreds thousands human lives a year ?

    (And btw, plant-based diets could also save 100 million animal lives a year)

  • About anticheat: it depends which games you're playing. If they use Valve's EasyAnti Cheat you should have no problem (been playing dota2, cs2, csgo... without trouble for some time now). If they use malware kernel-level anticheat (iirc helldivers 2, valorant, league of legends) you won't be able to run them in linux and should keep a windows dual boot.

  • how am I supposed to say to people 'hey come and try out lemmy' when they're gong to see this sovcit Facebook mom stuff?

    They're going to read comments shilling for corpos, excusing China/Russia/Israel's human rights violations... and a link towards an open source license at the end of someone's comments is what you're worried about?

  • Why are you so intent on giving them s**t about their licensing of their comments?
    They cause harm to no one, they feel better because doing so is relevant to them.

    I might be wrong, but your question seems asked in bad faith: I am under tbe impression that most people on lemmy servers have at least a basic understanding of the privacy and copyright infringements of the training of AI models.

    Their will to license their comment probably has little to do with the very unlikely individual actions you describe and more to do with data licensing from big corporate entities.
