    What is a diaspora population supposed to do if their current country of citizenship is at war with their ancestral homeland?

  • Do what you find morally best in that situation. Loyalty to a nation is honestly stupid to begin with. Use your brain and think. And if that means staying out of it, then stay out of it.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

  • Smart answer: put it all towards my student loans

    Assuming I need to like, actually pay for a good or service... New computer, new computer chair, gifts for Christmas, fancy digital piano, a couple gift cards to a restaurant I like, a handful of games, some nice but kinda expensive clothes, some VSTs...

    If I quickly math all this out with generous assumptions for the price... That still puts me well under 20k. I dunno, I'll go eat at a favorite restaurant of mine and tip the waitstaff whatever is left.

  • Sadly I've got too many programs that don't work on linux, or don't work well. And an old synthesizer that I can't imagine would work on linux unless I made a driver for it myself, and that's a bit beyond me.

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

  • I don't know if it'll be VR but the short version is there's a lot of code in the source 2 updates that directly point to the development of a new half-life game.

    Jump

  • With the fact there's apparently surprisingly reasonable evidence of a new half life game, I wonder if that's likely to get announced when they give these a release date. I could see them bundling it with the steam machines at least. Assuming the rumors turn out to be true.

  • Someone with your last name commits a heinous crime and their name becomes infamous, would you change that name? Why or Why not?

    Jump

  • Sure. I have no attachment to my last name.

  • Lemmings who still don't want to use AI, why?

    Jump

  • Environmental issues aside, it's just kinda useless for anything I'd want to use it for. It's unreliable for even basic research so I'd have to double check anything it'd spit out, so I might as well just skip it and do the research myself to begin with. I don't care to chat with it or generate images/videos. As a new hobby programmer, I've been warned against using it for that from people I know who do it regularly. According to them, it's not very good at debugging, and the code it writes tends to be bad even when it works.

    So, it just seems like a waste of time.

    Did you even read it?

  • Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco

    Jump

  • Did you read it? Or did you just ctrl+f "pet"? Because it specifically mentions the cat having an owner.

  • If you let your cat roam around outside, you don't care about it and don't deserve it. And if it gets killed, it's entirely your fault.

  • The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You

  • The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You

    Jump

  • Ads can work on me but it's context dependent.

    If it's something I was already aware of and wanting, I have noticed that it can push my mind further in the direction of wanting to get it.

    The other context is food. Like, if I'm hungry and I see an ad for food, it always looks like it'd hit the spot even if I know it wouldn't.

    Otherwise it just doesn't actively do anything. If I need a product and have seen advertisements for a specific one, I still do research before choosing what to go with. And rarely ever is it the one I saw advertised.

    The psychology of advertising is very interesting especially when you can actively feel its effects on yourself, and when you can tell it's doing nothing to you.
