  • Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.

  • They thought they were too ingrained in everything for people to leave so they could start enshitfying and everyone would just have to deal with it. They knew they would lose some market share by doing so but are gambling on the increased profits from targeted ads and AI training data would make up for it.

    It's also likely that for a single glorious quarter stockholder value was slightly increased, therefore it was a complete success.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • Epic pays a flat rate to offer games for free, they don't pay per download.

    Downloading them just helps Epic inflate their "active users" number when talking to investors.

  • AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

    Jump

  • it's at least aware of its own state in the same way that your car is aware of it's mileage and engine condition.

    I agree: not aware at all.

    ICE agents try to detain US citizen in St Peter, Minnesota. Her 'crime' was filming them.

    Jump

  • That is one of the goals of their training process, yes.

  • Sanders says ‘not another penny’ for ICE until Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller are gone

  • There also has to be prosecutions and consequences for the murders.

  • YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday.

    Jump

  • If people keep striking every Friday it will be noticed. Sure, it won't be as impactful as striking every day, but it starts a good foundation to build on while having some immediate impact.

  • US dollar sinks to its lowest level in four years

    Jump

  • Lowest level so far

  • 3 of 5 Rule

  • I don't love the QR codes, it would be easy for someone to create a modified poster with malicious QR links. It should be human readable web addresses.

  • 3 of 5 Rule

    Jump

  • Because the American oligarchs have invested in astroturfing campaigns that encourage people to "resist" in ways that won't result in meaningful change ("let's all show up for one weekend to protest, keep to our designated areas, clean up after ourselves, then go back to work on Monday like nothing happened. THAT will show them!") and discourage forms of resistance that actually have an effect ("don't do anything the Fascists won't like, or they'll use that as an excuse to do the thing they are already going to do. Wait for the election that is definately still going to happen. Absolutely nothing can be done without the election.")

  • Vikings announcer Paul Allen pushed 'paid protesters' conspiracy in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • Where does one apply to be paid to protest? With the number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck I would love to be able to direct them to a resource that will provide them some support while they stand up to tyranny.

  • I'm on to you

    Jump

  • You know story and gameplay are different things right? It's possible for both to be good.

  • Why can people see who upvotes and who downvoted post on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • If your votes don't federate then they have no effect other than you seeing the arrow light up.

  • Reminder/invitation to contribute to OpenStreetMap

    Jump

  • Is there an alternative to Google maps that has traffic updates? I want to avoid Google where possible, but last week Google maps warned me about an accident on the highway and saved me being stuck in it for hours.

  • Bovino claims Border Patrol agents are ‘the victims’ in deadly Minneapolis shooting

    Jump

  • And after murdering him, and Alex Pretti's body lay on the street, they stood back and shot him 5 more times.

  • All Games Are Going Somewhere or Cleaning Something

    Jump

  • Your lack of reading comprehension is not my problem

  • All Games Are Going Somewhere or Cleaning Something

    Jump

  • "ever notice how men criticize games like..." Strongly implies this is a common behavior from men, instead of wording it "ever notice how some people criticize games like...'

  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • Something I was just made aware of: after shooting and killing Alex Pretti, ICE officers then stood back and shot him 5 more times.

  • Prusentages

    Jump

  • So what are the 73% going to do about it?

  • SDV is all autonomy and choice. You personally might not enjoy the choices you have available, but the game does not force you in any direction.

    Choices you have:What crops to purchaseHow many to purchaseWhere you plant themDo you want to build a bunch of sprinklersAt what quality of sprinklers do you want to start using themWhen to upgrade your toolsDo you want to go foraging Do you want to go fishingDo you want to go increase friendship levels with villagersAre you focusing on any specific villagersDo you want to do this random questCommunity center or joja martDo you want to go to the mine todayProgress deeper into the mind or stay at levels you've explored for the resources they haveWhat farm buildings to purchaseWhen to purchase themSell this crop or use it as an ingredientWhich of the 20 perks do you wantWhat is your goal for this specific dayWhat is your goal for this specific season

    Yes, it's a game that doesn't require a lot of focus but that doesn't mean it's mindless (it's not a clicker) or that it lacks autonomy. There's more autonomy in SDV than there is in say Expedition 33 where your choices are: Kill the paintress (not optional), your character build, and do you go to this side area now or come back later?
