Also Elden Ring

With that much stone they should install drainage grates in every room so you can just spray the place down instead of mopping/dusting/sweeping

Wow that sucks

AI art is going to do the same thing to fantasy art that digital art did: completely destroy the immersive feeling for the benefit of rich assholes who want to pump out slop quicker and cheaper

Don’t worry, you’re still serving an important role in the economy!

As part of the “reserve army of labor”, by your very existence you drive down the wages of other workers in your field, based on the threat that they could be replaced with you.

My biggest complaint with how the Gowron character was written was his final battle with Worf. He fought honorably with a Bat’leth. From everything we’ve seen about Gowron earlier in his presentation, he should have fought dirty, and with knives.

I’m part of a coalition trying to prevent a private equity firm from buying out a local nonprofit hospital and using AI to “Improve efficiency” is one of their plans that we’ve had to study (done by people much more competent than I).

The main thing they plan to use AI for is filling out paperwork - nurses will record their introductory interviews with patients and the AI (basically, speech recognition + knowing what fields to fill out for certain information) will automatically fill out that patient’s chart.

I’m sure they’re planning on using AI for other purposes as well, but this is the most prevalent use - speech recognition and filling out charts automatically.

I like that the Switch, at least, is marketed as a toy and not basically a closed-box PC alternative

I wish being a Communist in the USA made me a billionaire

.world kinda sucks so I would recommend .ml

(0.999… + 1) / 2

I’ve also been getting very bad stuttering that makes the game functionally unplayable. I think I’d love the DLC, if I could actually play it.

“The Central Banks are Communist” - 1,000 IQ take from local Lemmy brain-genius

Speaking as a Socialist, no, lmao.

First off, UBI’s are not Socialism. In fact, they are antithetical to Socialism. They are Social Democracy, which is objectively the moderate wing of Fascism, the standard borne by those who think we can make a better society by instituting ranked-choice voting, net neutrality, and a 32-hour workweek without ever looking past the symptoms into the actual problems inherent in the system.

Under Socialism, the vast, vast majority of science will be done (as it is/was, in the USSR and China) by government or government-funded research organizations, where materials are supplied to them and their research is guided by the public interest.

Cranks doing “science” in their garages and basements in their spare time will still just be cranks.

The bowling ball also pulls the earth towards itself. This amount is imperceptibly small but still there

Honestly I think Adobe is in the right here. The trademarks are very similar and it’s not as if Adobe was trying to shut them down - just change their trademark.

Trademark law is not as vicious as copyright law. If a consumer could be lead to believe that the Delta emulator was an Adobe product because the logos look too similar, that’s a problem, the exact problem trademark law is meant to prevent.

I don’t know Lawful Neutral or Neutral Evil

China bad, updoots to the left

Couldn’t you have left this braindead bullshit on Reddit?

I know this is a bit account (nothing against you btw I think the bit is great) but honestly this is 100% correct.

Lemmy was nice when it was just FOSS enthusiasts trying to build a better social media. Now new people have joined who are using it for its intended purpose, instead of just trying to roll a snowball.

All of those FOSS enthusiasts have the same horrible opinions and attitudes that everyone else does, once you get them talking about something actually important and contentious rather than their treats and toys.

I think it’s just a growing pain of the contradictions of Federation resolving themselves, mostly in the political sphere.

You have left-wing instances (lemmygrad.ml), center-right instances (lemmy.world), and right-wing instances (sh.itjust.works). Even if different instances defederate with each other, there will always be overlap instances (lemmy.ml being the biggest, but also lemm.ee, startrek.website, mander.xyz, programming.dev, etc.). And while individual users can block specific instances, this doesn’t prevent them from seeing and responding to their posts. Communists and Liberals and Libertarians, who each believe the others are literally as bad as the Nazis (and I’m not making a value judgement here - maybe some of them are right), are forced to interact with each other on occasionally political topics.

The hard right, unlike in Reddit, isn’t really a figure here - and moderators on Lemmy don’t know how to handle political disagreements where both sides are within the sphere of acceptable discourse.

So long as the West does not intervene, this is the beginning of Afghanistan’s slow transition into a functioning industrial state.

Industrialism is the first step towards Socialism, and is vastly preferable to medievalism. This is good for both the people and government of Afghanistan and it’s good for both the people and government of China. The only people who lose are the West.
