  What is? How does a checkmark help distinguish between two people that have the same name? The checkmark just shows that the person is who they say they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People use usernames like they always have, and rely on reputation to distinguish themselves from the fakes? Senator ted ceuz makes an account called ‘senatortedcruz’ or if thats taken ‘therealsenatortedcruz’, and the mechanic makes one called ‘tedcruzcars’ or whatever. I dont see how your example is even relevant, because under a checkmark verification system both the mechanic ted cruz, and the senator ted cruz would be valid and deserving of a check mark, so there has to be some other way of distinguishing them anyway.

  Imagine how fun it would be to rig up a luge sled with little rings to go over the railings. The hardest part would be designing brakes that would work effectively, but assumjng you could figure that out, (or i guess even if you couldnt) that first 6 seconds would be fun as hell.

  If they (the rich) dont grind your meat, they can’t have any pudding. How can they have any pudding if they don’t grind your meat?

  I mean have you seen the slop the music industry is already putting out? Top 40 pop stars have been overproduced manufactured garbage for literal decades, what difference does it make if its one producer writing all the shitty samples and lyrics for 100 pop stars or if its AI. Real music will still exist and the true art will be confined to the fringes, as it already mostly is. Soulless music is soulless regardles of if its being made by a machine or a hack.

  Does this work? I didnt notice a difference at all. Just tilt the screen and its readable with both or either eye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope she found herself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if i was just chilling in the woods having a good time and a group of people came along and were like ‘theres a dude missing in the woods, we’re super worried about him, help us look’ id probably join them too. Seems like more of a failure by whoever called the search party. Of course that would never happen to me because I’d never tell anyone where im going and nobody would miss me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the odds of a person getting poisoned by food delivery driver? How would the odds change if the person is a public figure (such as Twitch Streamers)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When is the last time you heard of someone getting intentionally poisoned by a delivery driver? Id be surprised if its happened. Let alone happened in a targeted attack because the person is ‘famous’. Also most streamers are orders of magnitude away from being as famous as their fans seem to think they are. Normal people dont care about your favorite streamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably were upset, but not upset enough to do anything about it because they still wanted to play it. I personally would have refunded it right away, and lots of people probably also did that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Which was a deception in the first place, because it clearly distinguishes between ‘1 player’ where it doesn’t say anything about needing a network connection, and 2-8 player where it says network and playstation plus required. It also says network features can be removed at any time, but nowhere does it say 1 player is a network feature. It specifically does not say that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The steam deck has way more potential, but CAN be just as simplr as only ever launching and downloading games through gaming mode. The parent downloads 5stean deck verified games and then all the kid has to do is use the joystick to switch between them. But then it also has the potential to be a learning experience or teaching tool as the kid grows. But the steamos gaming mode is dead simple to navigate and a child could definitely use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idiots who have never used a steam deck and are obviously scared by the word linux in this thread. You can easily use the steamdeck without ever leaving gaming mode and with absolutely no troubleshooting needed. Its as simple as browsing steam, pressing download, and pressing play. I would absolutely give it to a child with a few games preloaded, and they would be perfectly fine to use it. The UI is way more friendly than the switch one also. Everytime ive tried to play a game on switch with friends theres been some update that takes ages, the Ui is slow and clunky, and connecting joycons is an absolute pain. What troubleshooting do you think is necessary to run a game from steam lmao?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam deck is definitely just as easy to use as the switch for playing and downloading basic games from the storefront. A 5 year old could absolutely use it easily with some games preloaded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tariffs on Canadian goods having a 'devastating effect,' U.S. farmers say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean lots of reasons, but primarily I’d say its because the concept of a general measurable intelligence is an illusion. People can be skilled at something, and can be quick to learn new skills, without any correlating ability for problem solving or reasoning. And because its generally an inherited position, most farmers may see learning their trade as more important than any other kind of formal or informal education. Why pay attention in school when you’re just goibg to work on the farm, or when you already are expected to work on the farm before and after school. Also what are you basing the idea that farmers are ‘very intelligent’ anyway? Even by most of the illusory mechanics we use to measure intelligence, why would farmers be any more intelligent than any other subset of the population? They just need to be capable. And capability in any skill is a poor measure of intelligence. There are plenty of doctors or researchers who are great at memorization or excel in a certain field but have no critical thinking skills.

  Just walk around downtown asking for drugs. If you dont find any and the drugs don’t kill you, someone probably will eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request for FPS recommendations.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prey (2017) was so fucking good and cool and innovative that I can’t even be mad that it completely overshadows Prey (2006) which was also a really cool and innovative game from my memory of the time, although i haven’t replayed it recently to see if it holds up.

  These kids already have jobs, they dont even need school. The ones with rich parents will still learn how to fuck everyone else over in their private schools, dont worry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved my car. Just had to scrap it recently. I got sad. I didnt go through withdrawal symptoms or feel like i was mourning a friend. You can appreciate something without building an emotional dependence on it. Im not particularly surprised this is happening to some people either, wspecially with the amount of brainrot out there surrounding these LLMs, so maybe bizarre is the wrong word , but it is a little disturbing that people are getting so attached to so.ething that is so fundamentally flawed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you actually read the article Im 0retty sure the bizzarre thing is really these people using a ‘tool’ forming a roxic parasocial relationship with it, becoming addicted and beginning to see it as a ‘friend’.

  You could do something to help an enormous amount of people. But realistically in the world we live in that would probably still involve killing someone.

  Wow this thread is kinda fucked. Im way more left than most to the point that i think supporting biden/harris leading up to the last election was a mistake, although i would’ve begrudgingly voted harris when it came down to it. But this is just vindictive and unproductive. How about “lets both admit the corporations and their stooges have fucked us for way too long and come together to stop them” rather than some stupid childish finger pointing shit. Like i get the rage, but keep it pointing at the ones who are actively fucking you over.

  Use some reading comprehension. I think they still teach that in US schools, though maybe not for much longer.

  That post was a hypothetical comment about if the US became an invading force in Canada. It wasnt about ‘ordinary citizens who want to burn it to the ground’. If you care so much maybe go out and do something about what your government is doing.

  But if being without a room is a form of suffering, then wouldbt it make more sense to distribute that suffering equally, so that no one person has to bear an unendurable length of time without a room, instead each person is just momentarily inconvenienced as they shift.
