  • Sample just has to be random enough to not oversample some very specific subset of people. People are unique in total across all their opinions but on individual questions like this, there's not that many choices of opinion to be had

  • I don't remember the last time I've seen the Las Vegas massacre sometime in the last 10 years was mentioned. A huge amount of people died then and I don't think many people remember it at all

  • I use him as an example where people think talking about injustices makes a person a particularly good person. I doubt he was ever all that good natured of an adult. He made his money and once he aged out of the social scene he rapidly started contributing to conservative social talking points in his comedy. And looking back I don't think it's that far from the Chapelle show.

    There's what he likes and there's everyone/everything else he looks down on. He was never really an ideologue of anything. Just making fun of people in ways that got him the attention he enjoyed. Just a suck up for whatever social group he thought he could fit in with. Nowadays he's fully embraced in sucking up to billionaires. Thats the social scene he aspires for now. More money means right to Chapelle. Also his dislike of trans people seems to be on his mind often. It's all a joke though like so many other artists that hide behind just making a joke. I highlighted social conservatism for Chapelle. He's an economic conservative too. Actions speak louder than words. Hannibal Burress was another comedian that ended up playing damage control and pretend his personal ideology isn't money while public persona leftist

    What I've learned the past 25 years this millennium, don't trust stand up comic. Comics that write jokes for others but the Hollywood types are more often than not garbage

  • These are the most successful comedians. Like most rich entertainers, most are assholes behind the scenes when when their public persona matters and they want to fit in with younger crowds. Then when they're past their prime years of relevance, they start kicking down further and further. George Carlin is a rarity. People making a career dunking on others are probably going to end up old shock jocks eventually

  • Helldivers 2 was almost a free-to-play game, could've changed Sony's live service trajectory

    Jump

  • That's pretty much the whole of the article. It was a free to play title until it became a $40 game that would also still operate as a live service game

  • Ubuntu 25.10's Only Supported RISC-V Platform: QEMU Virtualization - Phoronix

    Jump

  • It's preparation for 26.04 and it's a lot of work to maintain support for the older hardware that's not very popular. Optimizing developer resources towards what should be the first RISC-V hardware to try and get mainstream adoption

  • Ubuntu 25.10's Only Supported RISC-V Platform: QEMU Virtualization - Phoronix

    Jump

  • Because Ubuntu is only supporting RISC-V chips that meat RVA23 standards. There's no consumer hardware out there yet released. RVA23 compliant hardware is supposed to be the big jump to be a solid alternative to ARM and x86 consumer hardware so that's what they want to support that going forward rather than the older more dev/experimental hardware that they'll still support on 24.04

  • Going to need a global wave of union organization to at least get royalties on sales determined for contribution levels. That's unlikely to be incredible money but anything is better than nothing as you age towards their elder years

    Besides that, no real solution. It's happened to every art industry. It turns out there's probably been an incredible amount of artistic talent every year throughout the millenniums but it's just the last couple decades where it didn't require super levels of luck and financial backing to make it

  • Android will soon run Linux apps better, and that's great for Google's PC plans

    Jump

  • To me a temporary solution (which may be many years) where hardware support is real good on Android but terrible on Linux for these phones. In particular the high end chips. On Linux I rarely ever want to use an Android app. On Android it'd be cool to dock my phone and use Linux applications

  • I'm guessing loyalty test with a possible consolidation of thought towards the Americas rather than Asia and Europe. What in the Americas is so urgent? I guess drugs but that's seems more a US problem than Latin America but they can posture more cheaply in closer waters. Any excuse to have an enemy but not one too expensive and dangerous to maintain position against

    I think Trump and Hesgeth care most about image and an aggressive position in Europe or Asia is increasingly risky. I don't think either want to be the ones in charge when a carrier is destroyed and instead of 4000 American soldiers dead in 20 years, it's 4000 in a single day and numerous of those day

  • The US and Russia’s proxy war is bleeding Africa

  • Stability in leadership and independence matters a great deal wherever on the dictatorial to democratic scale. France should have left all its former colonies to govern themselves without coercion but Charles de Gaulle was racist imperialist bastard so he set the tone to keep trying to reassert French colonial power. The US should have let France drown out in Vietnam like it did Britain in Suez but the US had to continue being bastards too

    Regardless stability provides space for people to build communities generationally. Afghanistan pretty much lost that in the 1800s when the British arrived. Afghanistan was not an out of the ordinary place in terms of stability and violence like people make it out to be. They were par the course for the ~1700/1800s. Durrani Empire.

    I bring them up to bring them up in comparison to Iran. Iran had periods of outside domination but were large enough and maintained a national identity that stretched thousands of years so for how regressive they are relative to the colonial powers, compared to countries like Afghanistan or Libya or Syria which have not had the ability to stave off foreign aggression, Iran is well developed. Large college educated population. Fairly developed industrial base. All that while sanctioned to hell

    India and Pakistan have been at times sanctioned to hell and back by the former colonial powers, they've both managed something far better than the countries that get invaded all the time. Vietnam under siege for a century and then sanctioned to hell for overthrowing Pol Pot. China fits there too. They all had long periods in modern times of not being under siege and self determination. All progressing well in spite out sanctions, debt traps from former colonial nations, and threats of violence from our nations

    Latin American countries are glimpsing an emergence from European and American violence. Brazil has potential to someday make what the US is doing with Venezuela too risky

    Here we are 24 years since Afghanistan was invaded and 4 years since the Taliban returned to power. They're bastards but I bet if they weren't toppled in 2001, Afghanistan would be a lot better developed and progressing towards what people in our colonialist countries would prefer. We mostly all live in countries that were the evils of the world for centuries

    So to Africa that's the present of numerous proxy wars between the western aligned nations and Russia. France, Russia, the US are walking themselves into another southeast Asia where millions will be slaughtered and people out here will scoff at these countries because they're so regressive and backwards regardless over the centuries of violence we bring them.

    Someday there will be a nation in Africa that can keep Europeans and Americans from treating it like a video game. It may be authoritarian or it may be democratic. Either is better than letting Americans and Europeans play war games in their homes and make movies about how sad they are. I write all this because even in this hyper leftist Lemmy world, you really get that white savior sour grapes nonsense from probably European/American/Australian/New _Zealand/... users that I am certain would be great at building a road to hell paved with good intentions. The people are ignorant and self-righteous. The leaders are usually just evil overtly or benignly
