    Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Person backed the Stop Killing Games campaign. criticizing digital game licenses. He argued that if players don't truly own games, then piracy isn't theft.

  • Why don't Americans use electric kettles?

  • The niche coffee scene in the US uses them, they are excellent for pour overs, French press, etc. But they are not widely popular since dedicated coffee machines are most commonly used.

  • I did read your comment, that is why I responded the way I did. If you can't link that minorities are the ones affected by racism, I don't think that you should be commenting on racial politics in the US.

  • Have you considered that your perspective on the matter could be skewed by your own inability to take critique maturely? Most adults are able self-reflect and grow as people from interactions with others of differing perspectives. It's only a small percentage who react violently, and frankly, they are bullies who should not be catered to.

  • Nothing quite like logging onto lemmy and reading the most "if minorities were nicer then people would be less racist" victim blaming comment. No, there is no world in which minorities rolling over and gently teaching misguided racists gets them equal rights. We have a systemic issue in the US where the right has been defunding education and pushing vitriolic rhetoric for decades. Minorities should not need to prove their humanity at every turn just to stay alive, nevertheless participate in politics.

  • Zohran Mamdani appears to pull ahead of Andrew Cuomo, according to new poll

  • Well they're going to have to hurry it up if they want to prevent this one, voting is tomorrow I believe.

    Note that it's extremely likely that ranked choice will be the deciding factor here as Cuomo may "win" first choice but lose the ranked majority. Expect challenges in implementing ranked choice from establishment dems in the immediate future.

  • What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?

  • I have the boox palma 2, if you (OP) want a very portable device I'd definitely recommend! The fingerprint reader is pretty bad though, ha. But worth it to have something phone sized and easy to pocket.

  • Dude, I have read your other posts and sincerely, go log off and touch some grass. And maybe get some therapy. The internet is not going to solve your problems for you.

  • Who exactly is opining on the man vs bear argument that you're complaining about? I can read between the lines my guy. I can also see your comment history with a bunch of deleted comments on the women's only community discussing it.

  • I think you may have more in common with conservatives than you think if your response to personal dissatisfaction is to blame women for pointing out systems of oppression rather than the systems themselves. Patriarchy hurts us all.

  • This is only the beginning of a long summer. If you can get out there, do it! There are more of us than them. But remember that this isn't going to be the last occasion either. We need to be ready to stand up and say no many more times. Progress is slow, build community support now. Stay safe, be brave. ♥️

  • Bisexuals aren't exclusively attracted to men and women, nonbinary and agender folks are largely included. Common interpretation of the bi=2 prefex is including 1) same- (homo) and 2) different- (hetero) gender sexuality. Colloquially the difference between bi and pan is usually described as bisexuality allowing for preference for certain genders but not exclusively so, while pansexuality is attraction regardless of gender. A given bisexual might be attracted to twice as many women as men, but that doesn't mean their attraction to those men isn't real, you know? Meanwhile a pansexual could have attraction to the exact same people but wouldn't ascribe it to gender, just individuals. Largely the difference between the two is therefore personal preference in how someone experiences their sexuality.

    They say cats don’t love you. But maybe love has always been quiet.

  • Are there not enough cat pictures on the internet, that we have to generate them with AI? I'd rather see a real cat any day

  • Ahh, no! I was agreeing with the top comment that using UTC everywhere would cause more problems. Glad we're on the same page now!

  • I don't understand what you're asking here. I'm saying if you kept UTC in every place on earth, you'd still have to relate those hours to a solar based local time. If you wake up at 6UTC in London and then travel to Moscow, the sun in Moscow would rise 3 hours earlier (guessing, not sure exactly what time time difference is). So if Moscow was also keeping UTC, they would set their alarms for 3UTC to wake up with the sun. If you travel to Moscow, you'd wake up at 3UTC with the sun, which is the equivalent of 3am London time, but is around sunrise locally. This is just how time zones work, so I have no idea where the confusion is.

  • Sunrise at 06:00 UTC in one timezone would occur at 03:00 UTC three timezones over, I mean. The relationship between standard time and local, solar noon based time (sunrise, noon, sunset, midnight) is going to have a flexing relationship across different places on Earth. So if you're travelling or even communicating across timezones, you haven't fixed anything by using UTC since daily activities (sleep, meals, etc.) are still correlated to when the sun is up or not. Timezones communicates that daily relationship with time pretty effectively without having to do a lot of thought about it all the time.

  • And you'd still have to adjust to local time anyway! Travel three timezones and now noon is at 9 instead of 12. Your alarm to wake up at 6, now needs to be at 3.
