absolutely. Social media is a malign cancer of the web AND real life. I was there (3000 years ago) when the internet begun, it hurts so much to see how social media did spread the rot. As if the other rot by google and the majority of big tech wasn’t enough already.
Yeah the irony of us dissing social media…on Lemmy 😁

But I’d argue that capitalism is just the inevitable epitome of us rewarding the worst of us.
Even in socialism the dark triad gets further.
Altruism being advantageous in our early survival makes sense, yes. But, whatever the 4% always came up with in every period, won. Purely evolutionary speaking, it might even be better for survival nowadays than altruism would be.
Your point, that there always more basically good than evil people, might be true (and I wish it would be), but the world sucks in every place anywhere. Just to a different level. So it kinda means nothing when the 96% just watch or ignore the work of the 4%.

I’d argue that every kind of slavery literally destroys the slaves…kinda by definition :-( But yeah, this “job” is horrible. Especially if you don’t even know what will suddenly hit you after you applied for a seemingly harmless job.

Well put and yes, that’s sadly true. We just sit there and watched people seize control who should never have had ANY kind of control over anything in the first place. This species sadly highly rewards the psychological dark triad (or tetrad) so well, it hurts. The worst that humanity has to offer has the highest chance to lead it. Not even a question of sex or race or anything, it’s just us.

This world we create is so disgusting. Tech billionaires paying the least possible amount for “work” which borders slavery. And everyone seems to be OK with it.

I’m sure they’ll find ways to fuck it up…but my cynical ass does hope I’m totally wrong. I’d love any decent voyager-themed game, as long as the story is strong too and not just a license used to carry whatever…

We’re both stay-at-home, without kids, but still not making 12m/yr.
Also what an oddly specific sum…🤔

7d2d is actually out of EA for a while now. It’s been a looooong journey but a good game.
Valheim never felt very EA, although I, personally, didn’t click with it.

This forced x hours is the dumbest shit ever.
My employees can come and go whenever they want to. If they get the shit done in 1 hour at 3am, fine. Who cares?
If I pay someone to do X and he does, why should I care when he clocks in and out? Either I miscalculated how long X takes or he’s just awesome at it and I suck 😁
Anyhow, everyone seems happy with it and noone seems to exploit it. Also people are obviously way more motivated and sometimes even do extra stuff if they notice something needs to be done.
I know, maybe I just suck at capitalism and could be making much more. But 🤷♂️

Solaar only let’s me do DPI for mine. I have to set that fucker up in a VM with lghub and use onboard profile and input-remapper. Without mapping the extra buttons in lghub to something, inputremapper gave me nothing to work with)
So far I have not needed my scripts or macros yet, so that is a problem for later 😁
(G502 x plus lightningsomething btw).

Yes totally. They’re a company, they want to make money. Sure, fine. But if things stop being optional (or at least uninstallable like fucking onedrive) then I get pissed.
When I want AI, I start one. But in settings? In notepad? In my coffemachine and nutsack-warmer? Noooooo.

Even I, a long long long and ooooold ms-fanboy finally ditched win11 in fear of the copilot shit hole that’s coming.
And now I regret not having switched years earlier. Everything is a lot better now, and those things that are worse are just worse because companies hate Linux (looking at Logitech et al).
And when even I left windows (I do have every certificate from them, sold hundreds of thousands of licenses and whatnot) that tells something 😔 sadly so, I might add.
Long story short: fuck copilot.

Why not go and make something new?
Because it’s too risky. Shareholder want reliable income not a gamble. Remastering old shit is more or less guaranteed money.

Haven’t played that one but am intrigued now.
And yes, gfx are indeed the least important factor of a great game. Yet it seems like the one most money is pumped into 🤷♂️
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 1 week ago:
So much has already been well put, except one thing that reaaaaallly help MY immersion:
Sfx & especially music. Thinking of “life is strange” or “cyberpunk 2077” or the good old witcher.

possible, yes. But usually noone does those things for these smaller fringe devices that are not mainstream. So, it’s either do it yourself or be happy you unlocked a bootloader to…have an unlocked bootloader :)

I love your optimism, you must be new to this 😁 But yeah sure, we could. I probably just grew bitter over the last decade of total enshittification
- Comment on This New Android Smartphone Is For Everyone Who Misses the Blackberry 1 week ago:
Aren’t the 5 yrs now mandatory in the EU? And unlocking the BL I can do on most phones. Doesn’t help a lot though unless you do it all yourself. So I’d still wonder if root will be possible. I like to own the devices I buy 😊
- Comment on This New Android Smartphone Is For Everyone Who Misses the Blackberry 1 week ago:
I do have two. One just for at home for all the banking and depot-apps that I would surely not carry around with me outside. And also because exactly those won’t run in an emulator.
