  • No. California has some of the strictest gun laws and leads the country in mass shootings. New York also has ridiculously strict gun laws and is up there on the mass shootings count as well.

    (Though also let's be real the shootings are just correlated with large dense populations in the current US climate, not if the state is red/blue. So let's drop the gun law security theatre, there are a million factors that influence gun violence more than restricting the rights of everybody.)

  • Gaming "journalism" is shoddy, low quality, biased, and untrustworthy. Every bad game coming out of a big studio will get dozens of 10/10s. Not even talking about starfield, but just every botched release.

    Using gamer news or review outlets as a source is useless.

    The people that are saying good things about it seem to be people that don't play that many non-betheada RPGs so don't have anything to compare it to, or are just excited for a space theme. People that are playing high quality RPGs like persona 5 or baldurs gate are not happy with starfield

  • This was going to happen whether Starfield was a masterpiece or complete garbage.

    But as expected it wasn't either just a subpar game that a large number of people think it's a 10/10 GOTY contender

  • It's the same game as the last several Bethesda games, no need to play it to criticize it.

    But even watching a few streams and videos is really enough to see even the harsh criticisms are putting it mildly.

  • Because in all practical senses, windows is a virus.

    Viruses at their core are programs which do things against your will on your own machine. Which is bad.

    However, that is exactly what windows does. But like the boiling frog, people for some reason are okay with more bullshit from Microsoft and less control of their own devices with every passing update and year.

    Complaining on reddit social media does nothing. Switching to Linux gives you back control and will be better for everyone in the long run.

  • No, I'm thinking about the port. Which is what we are talking about. Usb-c, usb-pd, thunderbolt, etc, all use the same port. I can use the same cable in the same port for all of these.

  • This is like saying teachers are banned from using trojan brand condoms at work.

    1. This is just one of many apps that could be a problem, banning one solves nothing
    2. The entire category of social media apps has no place on a work device (except if you are in marketing)
    3. If it's not a work related app, it shouldn't be on the work device full stop. Idgaf if it's fucking Google sheets, if you're not using it for work purposes it doesn't belong there

    This new law is like 3 levels of abstraction away from actually addressing any problem, and likely wasn't a problem in the first place for any competent organization.

  • USB has gotten more complicated and does way more now in more contexts. It charges laptops now, it carries multiplexed displayport signals, it does its own handshake and performs hardware level initialization protocols.

    Meanwhile we've been wanting the same thing out of wifi since the start. Nothing's really changed, we just want it to go faster.
