Stop hiring artists, photoshop can do it for free 🤨

I work with ai agents, the idea that they can work “without humans” is laughable. Spend 3 hours on a task, or spend 200 minutes trying to make ai produce anything salvagable.

Truth.

Valve been private company allows them to avoid some shortsighted decisions of public corps, but they’re no saints.

We need more stores, with an interstore protocol allowing you to move your licenses. EU get on that please

This isn’t a binary. You can oppose absolutism, revolutionary terror and the current neoliberal status quo all at the same time.

When it comes to death penalty I am with Gandalf.

However, if you’re a cog in the machine that’s crushing human lives and dreams to dust, you can’t be mad when some of them clap back. That’s just fair.

I think those two statements are about two different things: on is about blame, the other is about course of action.

People who voted for fascists got duped/are into fascism, but you still have to convince them to chose otherwise because what is the alternative?

I’m not worried lol I’m poor. I’d like a number cause if you’re for death penalty, you should’ve thought long and hard through all the details.

Cause you know. It’s about killing people.

Can I ask what’s the cutoff? How much money/how high of a position qualifies you for the electric chair?

I think people are sleeping on the power of “The Shrug”™️

Whenever someone is asking why are you not following the societal norm, just 🤷 Don’t explain yourself, let them try to rationalize to you why the norm is good actually. Then you can finish them with “Okay?” followed by another shrug.

Works every time.

I remember being super excited over 13, only to fall asleep playing it. 98% of combat encounters was just mashing X-button :/

Same. I’ve been having a blast for the last year with three other ppl from work: we go for coffees, play board games every two weeks, chat in messages.

Haven’t been so happy with my social life since, like, ever.

Russian military draft.

This thinking is precisely why Jan 6 happened and will happen again if we validate that thinking by doing it ourselves.

What do you mean validate they don’t give a crap. The alt right isn’t going to become less relevant because we refuse to use their tactics against them. The choice is do things by the book, keep our precious moral high ground and most likely lose or get dirty and have a fighting chance.

You know what is a humane value? Respecting other people even when you vehemently disagree with them. Acknowledging that they are human beings and have a right to their thoughts and ideas even when you feel they are wrong. Because if you do not you are tacitly agreeing to their thinking that YOU are wrong. You are giving that perspective credence and the harder you push back the more you are allowing them to justify suppression of YOUR ideas…

What’s humane in respecting someone calling for genocide? Sure we should try to change their minds, I am not agitating for their liquidation, but for clawing out the political and cultural power back from their sweaty hands to try to turn away from the f-ing iceberg.

Metaphorical iceberg, because all the real ones will melt after trump dissolves the EPA.

What would happen if Biden was successful in stopping Trump but then, because we wouldn’t ever keep unfettered presidential power… right? RIGHT? We’re the “good” guys… what would happen if MAGA Republicans won in 2028? I doubt we’d ever have another election again.

From the standpoint of democracy that wouldn’t be ideal, but why is republicans having 2(4) years of unchecked power better? They don’t give a shit and gonna do a lot more damage to it.

Why is it ok when you agree with the outcome and not ok when you don’t?

Because the side coming to power wants to gleefully deport, repress and kill people, and the other one much less so. The good guys are “good” not because they respect the rules, but because they believe in humane values, in ending their fists when the others’ faces begins and all that good stuff. The fascists are bad not because they break the law, but because they believe and want to do fascism.

If the rules are unjust then breaking them is an ethical imperative. And Trump not being in jail is frankly a crime against lady liberty.

Breaking the rules isn’t fascism though. Fascism is fascism.

What do you think is a more ethical choice:

a) uphold the law, knowing it will let fascist come to power and kill thousands

a) break the law and stop him

Ideology is a sociopolitical model of the world. To understand complex system, we have to reduce it to key factors. It’s important to remember that it is a fallible oversimplification, but without one we are lost in the noise, blindly reacting to immediate change.

True, can’t think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.

Don’t tell the client what’s going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a “corner hack”.

I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?

Wouldn’t work on peer-to-peer and you’d have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.
