  • Shit! I'm soon to go Linux and now there's one more thing for me ro figure out then. I have some stuff (not a lot, but some important stuff) on OneNote, lucky me that I made the switch to Obsidian a couple of years ago.

  • "A war fought is a war lost." People don't get how much Sun Tzu applies to modern China's strategy. They won't fight you in the field, that's stupid. They'll take control of all your manufacturing capabilities and cripple your infrastructure through dependency. That army? Literally just for show. ICBMs? Intimidation. The real war is economical.

  • Não acredito que tem maluco que nem tu no Lemmy. O cara chama o Lula de Narco Ditador kkkkkkkk

    Essa foi longe demais. Daqui a pouco tu vai falar que o Bolsonaro não tem nenhuma ligação com as milícias do Rio de Janeiro, e também não teve nada a ver com os planos do golpe. E o Lula que é o ditador... E não me entenda errado, eu não sou nem maluco de achar que o Lula é de verdade de esquerda, mas não foi no governo dele que morreram 700 mil pessoas de Covid, muitas das quais não precisariam ter morrido.

    Outra: abre o site do FMI e olha a série histórica de gráficos da economia brasileira começando em 1989 até 2025. Números não mentem, o primeiro e segundo mandatos do Lula foram os melhores que o Brasil já teve na nova República.

  • I couldn't have said it better. This is it. Yes, you as a player might be someone who is more rational than emotional, but the vast majority of people living in the world in the 21st century are religious to some degree at least, and more sensitive than sensible. Let's not forget that Catherine is not from the 21st century either, she is, from Simon's perspective, from far in the future. Mind cloning for us today is impossible, not real, just a thought experiment. For Catherine, it was reality. Thinking that Simon is just "a big baby" is quite a wrong interpretation of the person he is supposed to be. He is not you, he is the 90%, a dude living a normal life in the 21st century, that, after going to get a brain scanner, wakes up in an abandoned underwater facility full of man-created horrors far into the future. He is not your self-insert. In a way, he is also a kind of empathy test for the audience, which the devs very much knew would be more on the rational side for this kind of game. Can you empathize with this "dumb" dude and understand his struggle? Can you understand his views and partake in his personal horror?

  • I hate this shit as well. People use "The Earth" to make it sound good for the environment, but it's actually just human greed we're always talking about. Take sustainability for example, you ask teens about it, and a lot of them will say it's about saving the environment. It's not. It's about trying to sustain capitalism and our consumerist lifestyle to go on forever while pretending to give a fuck about the environment.

  • Okay, this is insane, and insanely good. Insane that they're using 5x the amount of space needed, and good because now I can forever leave the game installed in case a friend asks me to play, and won't have to worry about losing 16~% of my 1tb ssd for games.

  • China’s low rights model goes global: Beijing's manufacturing dominance is based on weaker protections for workers, communities, and the environment. Not it's exporting that model.

  • China is a brand new type of socialism, one that Marx couldn't ever hope to write about, as that would have needed him to go through many important moments of world history (great wars, nuclear development, age of information...) that he could never have predicted. China in the 50s was an agrarian/third world nation, after the CCP took over their plan was simple: "Muster the strength of the entire population to push China into a new age through carefully planned country-wise economic strategies". It's a different perspective when compared to western capitalist societies that value individual freedom above the well-being of the nation, their idea was to value the nation above everything and everyone. To sacrifice generations in favor of economic development, to turn weakness, a poor country with more people than it could feed, into strength, a country where labor was so cheap it became the perfect trap to steal the advantages the first-world had developed: industries. Now, the western world has lost all of its advantages, they no longer have manufacturing capabilities that are enough even to supply their own demand, and its final advantage, technological supremacy slowly slips away from their hands. All that they have left is a class of uber-billionaires more than willing to sacrifice entire nations just so they can buy another yacht. Meanwhile, western media points their finger and exclaims: "Inhuman! The Chinese are using their own people to steal our western jobs with cheap labor!!!", and Liberals left and right look down from their "moral superiority" seat of ignorance and agree, calling the chinese the evil masterminds of the century for daring to not (EDIT: word order) have their same views that valuing individual freedom as a divine natural right, as said Locke, is the only correct moral path, and anything else is Evil wrought upon this world. Thus, they fail to see that, although indeed Machiavellian-looking, valuing the community, the society, above the individual is exactly where the true left had always resided. What good is personal freedom when a man can buy another? And do not mistake me, I do not claim their methods to be flawlessly, they are indeed ruthless, but the Chinese Government can most certainly be conferred the title of "efficient", in a few decades they took a country from the throngs of poverty and the past and pushed it forward, with sacrifices indeed, to the forefront of modern development. Are they truly wrong? Would you prefer they'd stuck to being slaves of first-world countries? As someone who does live in a third world, developing country, as they say, I'd be very very glad to see the same mentality of my own government, I'd sacrifice myself gladly to hope for a better future for the next generations. Instead, all I get is the proverbial choice of working my whole life to not starve to death while making a garbage human billionaire hiding in a mansion somewhere richer and richer at the cost of the people, all while my country not only barely inches forward in quality of life, but is constantly shoved back down the mud by the actions of western interests, that easily stoop to all the tricks of the CIA handbook just to keep us too busy too see that the evil wears not red, but blue and stars.

  • My win 11 pc (decently modern Ryzen 5600G) used to boot in 1020 seconds, and then suddenly was taking 10+ minutes to boot. The problem? An external hdd. Removed that and instantly went back to 1020 seconds boot. The people above 100% are having some sort of issue and just don't know.

  • Most people don't understand art, as most people also don't understand chess. It's important to accept that art is not something you can understand just because you like it or not, that's not the same thing; in the same way that's important to accept that a move made by a grandmaster chess player cannot be judged by someone who doesn't understand chess at a deep enough level. Science follows a similar conundrum, people don't understand even the most fundamental level of a certain field beyond their high-school knowledge and they still believe themselves capable of judging what science is.

    We, as humans, and as a society, must learn to accept our own shortcomings and take pride in not having an opinion about something that we do not understand enough. It's fine to listen and like some tunes, but that does not give you the qualifications and knowledge to judge the quality of music and art. For that, you'd have to go deeper, and then you would also become a "snob".
