it has the potential to make a game actually saying “buy” somewhat more valuable, which perhaps could lead to a shift from “it’s easier to require online and there’s no down side” to “perhaps we should spend a little bit of time thinking about this to get 1% boost in sales”

rent implies a continued fee though - i’m not sure a once off fee to play a game that can be rendered useless at any time covers that? rent would be more like $10/mo rather than $100 for as long as the game is available

well i’m extrapolating here but since a foot is based on some random foot i can only assume we can do similar for other things. i’ve found a thermometer with fahrenheit on it and it seems it’s roughly 1mm to 1 degree, so that’s 113,000,000 degrees fahrenheit!

not to mention apparently there have been recent studies that predict the deorbiting of all the satellites is going to have drastic climate effects

does ARM still have better battery life when all of the machine code has to be translated from x86

afaik macos/rosetta is more efficient than native windows/x86, but that could be down to OS integration, or any number of confounding factors… i’d suggest though that x86 windows applications sometimes run better and more efficiently on alternative platforms, even with the translation layers - whether that’s down to the instruction set or a combination of factors

afaik the anti cheat they added is one that’s known to work with linux, but you do have to do some extra stuff… i think valve worked with them to ensure it works on deck, and are probably now working through the steps with rockstar to ensure it’s as easy as possible for them

original comment still stands:

I’m not sure it’s devil’s advocate: I work with computers for 40 hours a week. There’s no way that I want to put any effort into a computer in my personal time

this is not linux and android. this is apple

in the context of this comment - not putting any effort into a computer - customisation and workarounds are irrelevant

you’re completely right, but only bank sanctions are relevant to the majority of people, and really are bank sanctions relevant to most people???

however, that wasn’t the point you were making in your original comment

there are no distros or combinations of software that come close to what mac/iphone/apple tv provide even WITH effort; let alone without. they have other benefits, but ease of integration is not one of them

do both: if the brake fails, the back pressure of the engine will have limited ability to hold the car in place! it might be enough to save not only your car, but someone’s life if it’s on a hill

that’s only partly true:

economically liberal indeed means free markets and capitalism (this is why the australian conservative party is called the Liberal party)

however liberalism as a whole includes individual rights like human and civil rights, secularism, etc (this is what the US tends to define as liberal)

it’s an overloaded and imperfect term for our current global political cultures

similar applies to left and right wing:

the left are supporters of change and generally change that supports less fortunate and leads to less social hierarchy

what both these things have in common is that liberal and left wing are about change and new ideas, whilst conservative and right wing are about maintaining the status quo (or as is more currently the case, regressing to a previous status quo)

optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system

facebook is social media, therefor friendica is social media

instagram is social media, therefor pixelfed is social media

twitter is social media, therefor mastodon is social media

at the VERY least, all the latter platforms can interact with each other via activity pub, as can lemmy. by interacting with lemmy, you’re making interactions with social media

social media isn’t just big tech - social media is a way of interacting with a system

is reddit social media? most people would say yes it definitely is… and this makes lemmy firmly social media

wait you don’t use scales when cooking???

the kernel has parts being rewritten in rust afaik so perhaps there’s less resistance than you think

and fewer to none of those allow you to submit kmesg and “debug information” to the kernel bug tracker

literally if anyone else did stickers half as well as telegram

this is why for truly important consent it’s useful to say “enthusiastic consent” - it’s not just “yes (perhaps because i feel pressure or obligation)”, it’s “yes i’d love to!”

this is not normal dog behaviour

i’m not saying you’d like another dog any more - it sounds like you’ve made up your mind and i’m not trying to change it… but… unless you go like 18hr without taking a healthy, reasonably trained dog out, its going to avoid shitting inside… they take “don’t shit where you eat” quite instinctually

actually professional motor sports are quite an exertion in a lot of professional contexts because they drive for hours with no rest and they’re doing a lot of movement of the wheel and pedals - it’s not just driving down an interstate for a couple of hours

… i did upvote you, so i mostly agree, but… yknow
