  The AI: “Question marked as duplicate.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that membership into suicide pacts will increase dramatically within the next decade because the world is falling apart at the seams?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some deathcults where the whole point is “live to 50, throw a massive party for the cult and go on a month long vacation, then kill yourself” might get some members. But they won’t really be that influential.

  Most likely will be the rise of the “work the least possible, care the least possible” culture. China already saw it happen, it was called “Lying flat”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t watch kurzgesagt’s video on “South Korea”* getting older, if you don’t want to know the awful answer to that.

  * video is more general than that. But they used korea as the clickbait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I get that AMP sites are supposed to load faster. But why do they have to be so ugly?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just found out google will mess with you and demand a captcha if you’re on a VPN in certain locations. They’re absolutely trying to ruin every single aspect of the internet they can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who makes those terrible sheet cake things that every Chinese buffet has?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am literally in actual China today and I have no idea what cake they mean.

  Uh… What’s that noise?

  *leans down*

  Is… That a bug holding a nail?

  20 hours before you’re allowed 3 people as well.

  But light isn’t a particle it’s a wave. I mean, just look at it… Oh… Forget it. It’s a particle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  FPS players are beasts on their own next level where it comes to binds. They also rebind movement options like jump to mouse wheel and switch WASD to ESDF so there’s more surrounding keys and better pinkie access.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is going to happen when people realize climate change is rolling in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Me. Don’t have any ambition left in me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is going to happen when people realize climate change is rolling in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People will just slowly move to northerner places. When those get back, they’ll move again. Lots of borders will close. There will be some wars over the likes of Siberia but they won’t last.

  Eventually people will run out of places to go too up norther, and they’ll just deny the existence of an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Military Time vs 24hr?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, the two halves of the world, America and Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just block them. I’ve blocked 20 more times the number of communities and users here than on reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear this, but then I also think of the “So… what hapenned to all the horses?” question

  Their numbers went down. Drastically. That’s what hapenned. But that isn’t History when it happens to Horses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It can be shown that...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw this in a HCI paper once. The prior work was just a review of current science, and had no findings in regards to the topic stated.

  I did not point it out to the guy.

  Congrats on explaining the original facebook tier joke.

  Congrats on somehow missing that was the joke.

  I find him too emotional. Nakey is a better “joke” response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the news of the latest Assasins Creed day 1 Denuvo patch. This community just keeps proving itself. Be Patient.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Took me a while to realize what you meant by that list of games. I thought I was on the piracy community so I was thinking “why would I want to pirate any of those???”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When two people kiss, they form a long tube from one anus to the other⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s some trivia: People who don’t have the sublingual frenulum can, with some practice, reach their tongues to the nasal cavity and directly touch the back side entrance of both the nasal tubes (choanas) and auditory tubes (surrounded by the bony cushion.

  You’re welcome.

  I’m never surprised by what data people sell.

  I’m always surprised there’s someone buying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  11% decrease means that only 1 out of every 10 people actually left.

  1 in every 10.

  We literally live in an age where corporations can do whatever they wish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Wealth University job application process a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Without even looking at anything, just the name “wealth university” tells me this is aimed at people with scam-awareness IQ in the single digits

  Yes. And it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you can. But you have to be PERSONALLY hacked. At which point you’re at a level of risk equal to “will I get mugged and my notebook full of passwords get lost?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The only annoying part about the modern world is that you want to have that keepass file synchronized between devices, at which point you either go down the path of something like Synchthing (not mainstream user friendly) or you just end up asking yourself “fine, what cloud service do I trust to not go looking at my files?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In 5 years from now, VR will be 5 years away of becoming mainstream. Just like 5 years ago.

  Why did the genie’s eternal suffering include him getting his nipple pierced between panels?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, the problem OP poses was also a major issue with TV ads, specially the kind of ads with that whole telemarketing, “buy now get 2 free, but wait there’s more, we’ll throw in these accessories all for” vibe. And radio, and magazines. A lot of snake oil and re-branded stuff was sold through it.

  The real reason why accountability isn’t given to the platforms is because then the platforms would be less sustainable. And for the older media, that might have been fine still. But not so much the internet, which arguably, barely sustains itself on a gigantic ad-based bubble. It would be a death-throw for 99% of what we build and consume online. We just simply depend on ads THAT much.

  I say they should try anyways. Absolutely. I do think the internet could benefit from having a lot more, smaller website, like before. We’re even popularizing the concept of interoperability again, like, man, we’re posting on Lemmy, a platform made to spread platforms. I think we’re closers to kill the ad dependency now than we ever been after the death of usenet.
