  innocent before proven guilty is only a thing where the crime is actually being investigated. because it’s not, nearly any actions and considerations by individuals is fair game. technically it always was.

  actully, it specifically CAN’T work the other way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  neo libs must choose… either there is not enough progressives to demand a progressive candidate so they are not a large enough block to have changed the outcome OR they are large enough bloc to demand progressive cannidate and the democrats ignoring them cost them the election.

  and they always pivot talking points

  i am not going to defend the government, but in this case, it was problem laziness from the private sector. instead of relying on actual identification forms they used the ssn to shortcut paperwork

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ssn was never intended to be a form of identification. it was specifically decided that it would not be used as a form of identification by the administration that controlled it

  and they stole the music to train the ai as well.

  that’s not true, a child and an adult are not the same. and ai can not do such things without the training data. it’s the full wine glass problem. and the only reason THAT example was fixed is because they literally trained it for that specific thing.

  you are as helpful as a discord support chat, congratulations, you can sit there and be smug that it suddenly means you are right in your head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  the rant was basically summed up as: “i think forums are archaic and i feel the ability to search them was bad

  i think that discord has a much better system because the devs can answer people’s questions directly.”

  except my experience with these discords results in: me asking the question, a bot or some person states that the devs no longer answers questions due to having to answer the same questions over and over and to use the search function. the search function pulls up every time the key word is mentioned but not the context or resolution, and i end up having to read the time line, including random people chiming in with their own questions and now i am tracking who is talking to which person in tandem on the same chat, and some times they cross, some times other people come in to give their 2 bits, sometimes it’s starts an argument or is wrong, it irrelevant. an absolute fucking nightmare.

  with a forum, i am usually directed there via a google search, it’s a sub division of the topics forum specifically created by the person with the question, the responses of everyone are for the topics exclusive benefit, and if there is arguments or wrong info, everyone can easily point it out without missing it in real time. and when the topic is either resolved, or given up on the topic ends. it’s not used for other people’s problems at any point.

  what? if you have something to add please do. i do not see the benefit of federation in my voip

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i HATE when i have to connect to other discords for that purpose. finding information on discord is the worse of all possible outcomes. if i am running into trouble i much prefer a searchable forum. as for different friend groups, i think team speak has the ability to save multiple friend groups servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i notice people not mentioning team speak 6. when our discord group were planning everything team speak 6 seemed to be the winner. it’s not free, but if i am hosting it with a license and have more control over the experience, then its not that big of a deal. from what i gather team speak 6 has better faster audio, and a better screen share for gaming. but we only just started poking around at options atm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, but with the video streaming team speak seems better equipped for gameing, at the cooler of the federated capability of martix, but i am not sure what these benefits would be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i mean… i will pay the license for it, AND i have to self host it, so they have a monetary scheme that will delay the need for sensitization. but it’s 5$ or something, and reportedly has better audio quality, faster transfer rates, and lower overhead then discord. and because i am hosting it, i will have complete control over it and its white list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  already making plans with my battle group t move to team speak 6, which is only an option because they now have screen sharing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  sure? but i am not arguing for the benefits of the KFC double down with bacon. i already acknowledged that not all vegans are like that, but you are being dishonest if you are claiming my critique of the vegan spaces are not dominated by the loudest and most brash of the extremes, and in lemmy it’s usually directed at ransoms who wander in from /all. and it’s an all or nothing situation, where vegetarians are branded with the same iron as people who advocate for animal harm.

  i prefaced with understanding that a community is not just its loudest and obnoxious people, but nonetheless they set the tone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not because they are trying to spread awareness. now obviously not all blah blah blah., but they have a tendency to be highly sanctimonious and abrasive, they accept no partial measures and treat it like like a cult would in the eve of the coolaid tasting party.

  kind hard to see their point of view in the other end of a carnist label spat at you.

  no more place holders. either they provide a candidate that runs progressive ideals or they can run the election without my vote

  they either were facetious to make… no point. or were earnest. either way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yea… most of the time the cost of rent is lower then there houses market rate, and it still didn’t change anything about artificially raising that said rate. you didn’t change anything about the problem at all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you are applying immunity to criticism of a persons actions, based on what a person is.

  Land lords owning more properties then they need taking them off the market causes systemic harm. at no point in that equation did their status as an immigrant or not, have any bearing on the action nor the outcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  market dominance is not a monopoly. market dominance is a label given to the most successful product. and the product is successful because they offer a service that none else seems to be able to or wish to fulfill.

  devs can choose to sell their game on steam, or windows live, or gog, epic game store, playstation, nintendo online, android app store, ios app store, on their own site, eb games, or the back of their car, what ever.

  are all of these equally effective? nope. when you put your game on steam you get, the vast user base cultivated by valve, server space to host your game, massive server upload speeds, a built in store front, the discussion boards, steam game cloud, the stream overlays and stream input, steam workshop, community hubs, steam achievements, global money processing, themed sales, two special discovery windows. blah blah blah.

  again, it’s up to the dev to decide if they want to pay 30% for these things.

  to put it in perspective, when epic game store has a sale, steam makes a profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  and steam needs data centers and servers and power and all the stuff to keep those running. ultimately though it didn’t matter. if steam thinks that their ecosystem is worth charging that much, then it’s up to the dev to decide if what steam provides is worth it to them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would also be confused⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  by the time someone tells you directly they are annoyed by something you have done, it’s gone past the “ i don’t like it but i’m going to just deal with it” stage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you are saying this like the terms of the required action are dictated by the oppressed, and they bear the responsibility of the result. but that is wholly decided by the regime. if your asking people to weigh the cost of freedom verses the ease of tyranny, just remember that time does not make the cost any more palatable, it makes it worse.
