There are fascists subverting every location on the political spectrum, none of them are immune. We’ve been trained to think in terms of “left” or “right” but these fuckers are coming at us sideways and corrupting our whole politcal spectrum at once. Don’t fall for it, pay attention to actions, not labels.

I read it and never imagined for a moment it was anything other than fiction, with perhaps a little genuine medical insight behind it. I am shocked to discover people used it as case studies and that he claimed it was real.

You can give them nicknames in game if that makes it easier. You can also change the pool of names or even the entire dwarven language if you want, it’s all text files (at least in the ascii version, not sure about Steam)

Yeah, no, it’s ridiculously, nonsensically complex. In the most delightful and unexpected ways. Like, it’s not necessarily complex in the ways that you think it is or should be complex. It’s complex in ways that you never even would’ve imagined. For no real reason. Just because.

One of the few games so special that even bugs improve the experience.

I know people who have had to give them the phone. It doesn’t happen every time, it doesn’t happen to everyone, it doesn’t happen often, but it definitely does happen, and from what I understand, they can refuse you entry if you do not. I’m not in a position to say how common or widespread it is, but there are enough anecdotal stories to convince me it’s probably decently widespread, albeit occasional and possibly targeted. Like you said though, no one knows what they’ll do anymore, maybe just shoot you in the face. And that’s kind of the point. They want that environment of uncertainty and not knowing when the bullet is going to come for you.

Sent back if they’re lucky. Otherwise sent to concentration camps, El Salvador, or just never seen again at all.

Yes, they already do that. That said, if you have good op-sec, you’re not going to have your social media on your phone. At least, not your real social media, or if you do, you’ll have it behind a password they can’t break and that you’re not going to give them, so this is not really about getting into everyone’s social media per se, it’s more about providing them more excuses to detain people they don’t like, increasing surveillance of people who they know are probably not really doing anything wrong to begin with, and the chilling effect that surveillance provides in controlling those people who are not really doing anything wrong.

I’ll volunteer to provide security for free any time I ever see her.

Punch a Nazi today. It’s always okay to punch a Nazi. It’s fun, rewarding, and good practice.

I feel like that has vastly deeper meaning than it was ever intended to. A philosopher or sociologist could probably write their masterwork with that title someday.

Mmhmm. The more things change, the more things stay the same. “Gulf War 3: Gulf of America edition” Now with extra-bigass Freedom Fries!

Millenium can combine Proton folders into one (not an endorsement, I don’t use it personally, just an option, you should perform your own due diligence)

Getting some serious “are we the baddies?” vibes from the US lately.

Because the domain name system is the tragedy of the commons. We all share it, and cybersquatters fucking it up for any of us fuck it up for all of us.

Companies on the other hand, are just a fucking tragedy in general.

It is always okay to punch Nazis. You don’t need a reason. (serious answer though: I have no idea what kicked it off, my comment still stands though, it’s always okay to punch Nazis.)

They aren’t as distracted by their phones yet. Once they get Tiktok, all bets are off.

Hello fellow em-dash enjoyer, there are dozens of us, literally dozens! But yeah, fuck AI.

I always just used – instead, because I’m too lazy to remember weird codes and I don’t know what a compose key is, but the intent is the same.

Edit: oh and I forgot lemmy does weird stuff with em-dash too, what I originally wrote there was hyphen-hyphen

Autistic people were the original LLMs. I don’t care how much data you shove into it, there is still no LLM on Earth that knows more about trains than an autistic guy who knows everything about trains.

The difference is the autistic person isn’t completely sycophantic and might be completely disgusted that you don’t know the first production date of the C40-8W.

Fuck you, you’re exactly right.
