With reddit getting worse, these kinds of vapid "i only post snark about [insert US designated enemy]" users are gonna be all the more common.

that's good, surprising though because technically it's not their policy

im sure there isnt a malicious reason why many fingerprint reader drivers are proprietary

It's no accident that many of these games are releasing their anti-features only after millions have purchased them and missed their return window.

EA did the same recently with Kernel anti-cheat in games they haven't serviced in years, games that actively cannibalise their latest titles!

Less players means less server running costs. Helldivers 2 might turn back or end up with this disastrous policy (for consumers) but until we have regulations on this, many companies will see the benefit of rugpulling software.

finally. cant wait to receive dozens of P U S S Y I N B I O messages

So instead of one dumb guy founding Tesla and running it into the ground, TWO dumb guys gave everything over to another dumb guy to run it into the ground. Masterful gambit !

The end goal of wayland is that you shouldn't ever have to know what it is.

When you leave reddit, a corporatised and astroturfed bot farm you're gonna get less liberal and right wing stuff that only existed to make money or exert political influence.

If you're really upset by it you can filter lemmy.ml which is gonna be the main source of left wing posting.

I've been using wayland on my laptop somce the new year and beyond some driver issues that were purely on AMD's side (and not entirely Wayland exclusive either) I've had no problems.

Stuff like application scaling works so much nicer on Wayland, and X11 just wasn't very stable when handling fullscreen games to the point where I'd set games to borderless or even windowed mode to stop it crapping out on alt-tab

"Bibi please, you're making it so hard for me to claim you're not committing a genocide despite piles of evidence - my support is crumbling!"

"reels" - was disappointed by ___

"slams" - mildly criticises ___

Come back when the AfD fascists are in handcuffs.

If the "IDF" has succeeded in anything, it's proving how useless the term "terrorist" is. Every toy of the western PR machine has been thrown out the pram.

Oh give off with the "human shields" bullshit, I won't even bother giving you a response because you deserve no such respect from me.

Fuck off back to reddit if you want to spout baseless Zionism.

Thats why they'll let everyone into this camp with no problem, because shooting people in tents is much easier than shooting them in houses or running down rubble-laden streets

If Ubisoft kept the crew (and others) on your account post-shutdown, people could create community servers much like they have for Titanfall and others.

Piracy allows software to be controlled by users, not publishers, in a way that if there was legitimate support for it people can still reverse engineer these games to support them.

Gran Turismo 4, for example, can only be modded and given online functionality through piracy (mods require a version of the game used as a beta test for some features so it wasn't widely sold).

Piracy isn't the only tool in maintaining discontinued games, but it's fundamental to people who may want to develop alternative servers for them.

This beats using "reddit" because that site has also become full of ai generated and bot spam/product astroturfing

AI isn't on track to displace millions of jobs. Most of the automation we're seeing was already possible with existing technology but AI is being slapped on as a buzzword to sell it to the press/executives.

The trend is going the way of NFTs/Blockchain where the revolutionary "everything is going to be changed" theatrical rhetoric meets reality, where it might complement existing technologies but otherwise isn't that useful on its own.

In programming, we went from "AI will replace everyone!!!" to "AI is a complementary tool for programmers but requires too much handholding to completely replace a trained and educated software engineer when maintaining and expanding software systems". The same will follow for other industries, too.

Not to say it's not troubling, but as long as capitalism and wage labour exists, fundamentally we cannot even imagine a technology to totally negate human labour, because without human labour the system would have to contemplate negating fundamental pillars of capital accumulation.

We fundamentally don't have the language to describe systems that can holistically automate human labour.

I mean if you decimate an entire country with multiple nukes' worth of explosives, any civilian population left is probably going to harbour a few resistance members

I thought legitimate interest meant you were legitimately interested in giving up your data to those vendors????

The IOF has built a camp for the concentration of civilians North of Rafah. I wonder if there's a name for such an unprecedented structure.
