- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 1 day ago:
Yeah that’s driving me crazy too, it’s 2025 and it’s an obvious marketing gimmick to withhold the OLED at this point
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 1 week ago:
Yeah there’s a segment of arrogant racist halfwit conservatives that get a superiority kick out of demeaning people for stuff like that.

Why? It’s a win/win for all the same reasons the UK should have never left.

Agreed, the US needed electoral reform 20 years ago. I mean, there is no perfect system but other democracies are a lot more kid proofed than the USA

Why that one though? Just because it’s more ‘official’ as the devs instance?

- Comment on “It’s a lemon”—OpenAI’s largest AI model ever arrives to mixed reviews 4 weeks ago:
100% this. Wouldn’t it be something if they weren’t overtly running their companies to replace all of us? If feel like focusing instead on creating great personal assistants that make our lives easier in various ways would get a lot of support from the public.
And don’t get me wrong, these LLMs are great at helping people already but that’s definitely not the obvious end goal of OpenAI or any of the others.

- Comment on FromSoftware didn’t want Sony to publish Dark Souls as it was ‘disappointed’ by how Demon’s Souls was treated 1 month ago:
Hey I was a skeptic too but got to play it for an hour during the network test and am actually cautiously optimistic. I could still be wrong but it seemed like they put a lot of thought into the new systems.

This, OP - this is the right answer. Take all the opportunies you can. AOC recently said it best: you won’t regret anything you try. Some of it won’t work but if we all work now and keep trying things we can make a difference.
In the 1930s in Germany there was a group that basically tasked itself with the protection of democracy and they waited for a signal from leadership that never came. Because leadership was waiting for the one moment. Don’t wait, try things.
But what, you say, well we’re in uncharted territory now but: join activist groups, protest, make memes, call your congresspeople, if you’re in the gov’t somewhere - gum up the works, if you have money - give to liberty advocates, think of things I haven’t thought of here and do them, and bring friends.
The important thing is that we all do something, and keep doing something. They can only win when we let them.

You know what I think would be helpful would be to have someone in the know compile a list of the organizations who are already active and planning things like this and distribute it around Lemmy and other circles.
Motivating people to act is one thing but telling them how and showing them where and who to get involved with is much better.

Yeah the price at their Edeka was €2.79 for 18 eggs
- Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 1 month ago:
I’ve read that it used to be a great place for really niche stuff. BUT your point still stands because I’m really not sure why that would be. Maybe the interface or something lent itself to that well or maybe it just hit the right moment and took off.
- Comment on Psst, the Americans are asleep, post some eggs 1 month ago:
I sorta thought that even if egg prices in the USA were high the global prices must be too but then someone sent me a picture of prices in Germany - they’re literally 1/10th the price

Yeah it’s past time, the working class has basically lost the class war and we’re just running on fumes now. At the same time, the owner class is working double time to implement AI so they can employ even fewer of us.
Anyone not in a corporate atmosphere is probably not as privvy to this, but it’s insane the effort going into replacing human work with AI. Of course it’s all under the guise of ‘improving working conditions’ or ‘keeping current employee levels’ but in the end you know they’re salivating at the thought of firing a bunch of people.
And we can’t fight progress but we sure as hell should be fighting for some kind of UBI and share of the work that gets done by AI.

Once you start thinking about the relationship between Trump and his base like pro wrestling it all makes a lot more sense
- Comment on In the American class warfare, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters. 4 months ago:
Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.

My PC is really up to date and yet somehow it fails the Windows 11 ‘test’ you can run. Not sure why but it’s pretty nice so I haven’t looked into it.
