• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is the worst dictator ever, seeing as he literally got voted out last time and could do nothing about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any truth to this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is called “virtue signalling”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Filters are your friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As AI and megaplatforms take over, the hyperlinks that built the web may face extinction⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you saying that my knowledge of how to hyperlink in HTML is going to be obsolete?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Growth⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been tempted to give Bluesky another go after it left beta, but apparently you still can’t set up feeds so they all show up in one instead of having to swipe through all of them.

  It felt too much like work keeping up with things, so I gave up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when I first tried to use Mastodon and struggled with how best to make it work, so I asked what was probably a basic question to the Enlightened™. Instead of being helped, I was met with “it’s easy, maybe you’re just dense?”.

  Then I thought that maybe Mastodon doesn’t have the kind of people I’d want to interact with on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you know that wanting to browse cat pics is just a distraction from the oppression of late stage capitalism by the bourgeoisie?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you like/dislike about lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or that they just want to get away from politics for five minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Update from PlayStation Studios (Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios are closing)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess Concord isn’t coming back as free-to-play then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Would Force The Department of Veterans Affairs to Overhaul Suicide Prevention Algorithm That Favors White Men.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be, but is that what’s happening?

  The article seemed to mention men and women, but nothing to do with race apart from the headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Would Force The Department of Veterans Affairs to Overhaul Suicide Prevention Algorithm That Favors White Men.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Headline leaning into the culture wars a bit there, isn’t it?

  I’d fully expect a program like this to favour white men given they make up the majority of the armed forces. It’s called maths. Or “math” I guess, in America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If Israel wanted to commit a genocide in Palestine, they could literally carpet bomb the entire place in a day and be done with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because I didn’t go on a rant about capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one, because I live in the UK.

  But I would vote Harris with zero enthusiasm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is that slowing down the heating of the planet is doable (though you’d need the majority of the world contributing, which is highly unlikely to happen), but we can’t reverse the damage that has already been done, which some people seem to think is possible.

  We’re not as powerful as we think we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people seriously think we could “reverse” climate change?

  That’s not how the climate works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can go on a protest whenever you want. Don’t expect your employers to be enthusiastic about it if you organise one in your workplace, however.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, what?

  You represent your employers at work, not every waking hour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry that the facts don’t fit your narrative. It must be frustrating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally how employment works. Unless you’re self-employed, you represent the people who pay you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company. If you disagree with the businesses they work with, don’t work for that company.

  Or if you really have a problem and want to express yourself, don’t do it at your workplace. It’s stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you organise this on company headquarters without the consent of the company?

  If you tell your employers that you hate the way they operate, what do you think is going to happen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those were the days. 🥲

• Are there any apps or sites that collate all the patch notes for games?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And was patched for 60fps on the PS5. Just like The Last of Us 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  8 years ago, it was just an idea. It was only in development for 4 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t cost 400 million. There’s no way a game like this can cost more than something like The Last of Us 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one wanted these PS5 Concord discs until Sony stopped making them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These have no value even as a collector’s item.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws - Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was looking forward to it until I found out it was being made by Ubisoft.

  I love Star Wars, but I knew that this game would have exactly the same mechanics that I hate in all Ubisoft games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws - Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Eurogamer review describes what I expected from this game.

  Generic, repetitive Ubisoft fare.
