  • Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

  • It's a weird ass language. When you start, it feels easy because rules are rigid. Then you try to build longer sentences PROPERLY and you feel that it is cumbersome. Finally you try to talk to native speakers, and you see that native speakers also think it is cumbersome and they omit 50% of rules in dailyspeak. Then, your brain turns into a mush which cannot decide if past is ok here or do I do perfekt to not look like a posh journalist. Do I use genitive like a properboi or dativ like a correct streetboi? Oh wait, they call it Cola (female) in Germany but Cola (male) in Austria? Wait what? it's not country specific but much more local than that and you can be wrong while in a car?

    It's a mess.

  • Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases

    Jump

  • Back then we had 10x games coming out, 1x games were good. Now we have 10000x games coming out but still 1x of the games are good. (Absolutately more good games, relatively almost nothing)

    Numbers are generated knowledge assisted-out of my ass. (Think fermi approximation.)

  • As a person who doesn't care about graphics: New games are mostly shit. I'm allowed to do less (need animation for each action you know?), I must have fewer monsters on the screen (polygon count you know?) takes 35+ GB and it makes my laptop fans go wrooom?

  • Rice prices plunge to 8-year low after record harvests

    Jump

  • Rice: Thrives even though humans are fucking the climate, the soil and the water it needs to grow.

    Human: my money :(((

    Rejoice motherfucker, we are still not at the point of no return.

  • You can keep it optimally dirty to avoid some insects (the ones who avoid mammallian products) and only deal with the ones which seek human smells/other molecules.

  • Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io

    Jump

  • It is, did I write something wrong which negates that?

  • How can you know a game is LGBTQ+ if they don't talk about sex/gender? They look like normal humans to me, which differ in sexual preferences only? Example: How can you say this guy is gay without knowing his sexual preferences?

  • Surprising no one, new research says AI Overviews cause massive drop in search clicks

    Jump

  • What if content amount is the problem and old search algorithms simply do not scale well? (Pagerank algorithm has bunch of assumptions, are they still true/good enough?)

  • Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?

    Jump

  • or, you know, keep it to yourself unless asked? No one needs to know which planet you come from, why does it matter if I'm from Mars? Will you see me as inferior because I didn't have a good atmosphere or liquid water in my childhood and my favorite color is red because that's what we had?

  • Interesting and probably true

    Jump

  • We gave up "all-flat-terrain", carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got "this road is not paved so I'll shake you so much that your baby will die", "created new jobs: climate disaster control", "just currently getting some self-driving capabilities".

    I'm half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.

  • FBI deployed 1,000 agents to search Epstein files for Trump mentions, whistleblower says

  • US tech CEO resigns after Coldplay concert embrace goes viral

    Jump

  • You do know that -gamy means marriage right? We aren't talking about polyamory, we are talking about polygamy.

  • US tech CEO resigns after Coldplay concert embrace goes viral

    Jump

  • I don't think western governments allow polygamous marriages. Or do you mean only dating and never having legal rights?

  • Something is wrong..

    Jump

  • Maybe being sentient is about saying no all the time: You are a sack of water made out of carbon and it always wants to simply fall but you have keep saying "no, we stand", "no, we tilt slightly forward" (walk) etc.

    At night, when there's nothing to do and you've already lost your battle against gravity (a comfy bed), maybe the helpful naysayer starts generating bullshit?

  • Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated game

    Jump

  • Are you into dramatic NPCs? If no, you have to play it multiplayer with someone who gives a crap about pixel people.

    I tried playing it alone but every system in the game is puddle deep so I was only able to play until winter by myself.

    Then I played it with my girlfriend, and I spent 100 fondly remembered hours.

  • Wearing socks is a social construct

    Jump

  • I'm saying it is not "non negotiable".

  • Wearing socks is a social construct

    Jump

  • As long as one person in history has done it once, yes. Just because people around us doesn' do it, doesn't mean it's not "natural". I don't know how tribes with 11 disposable children behave.

    We used to be night active but if you ask anyone nowadays they'd act like waking up to the sun is THE "natural" thing.

  • You cannot invoke biology to generalize here. There are many mammals who use their offsprings as projectile decoys when they are in danger.

  • going to a website (not tech savvy enough for this) vs going to the settings on an app and select a new icon (yay anyone can do it)
