  Money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These Apps Let You Bet on Deportations and Famine. Mainstream Media Is Eating It Up.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people forget stuff like that in minutes. And if you’re like me and remember, that’s how it is…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  OK, I think we don’t understand each other because the spectrum is not represented at all in the US and you can only choose between two parties on the right. If you ignore that it’s not me needing research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  OK name one party on the left that you could vote and would count?

  I am only aware of dem and rep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s consumer demand!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. First, no I’m not trolling. But we have a bit more open view in Europe. You’ve just got all corporate control with a lot of propaganda in the US. If you’re open to it, I invite you on research on countries with more than 2 (and even almost identical) parties and without backing of the rich.

  Yes I might be off about your spectrum, but the last deeper research I read was that over the decades your two right wing options narrowed down even more and by now they’re indistinguishable (for the common folk. Of course it would be better not to have trump but you have more political issues than that).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay now, this is surprising. Either your statement is way off or the definition of liberal is wildly different between US and EU.

  But liberal is definitely not right but center between left and right. But ad said, maybe that’s the European view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your whole political spectrum is from right to far right to us. There is no liberal or left at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Never preorder.

  The fun thing is looking into history… especially the one of Freelancer. It would never have been released if it weren’t for Jörg Neumann who - in short - finished it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Could it be money?

  It’s money, isn’t it?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the cheapest console to get and collect for that still holds up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In this case, might I suggest getting a MiSTer? I know availability is an issue and price too but hunting for it is really really worth it.

  Up until and including 486(sx), Saturn, N64…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good answer but I do not agree with the conclusion. Why not entertain that thought?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All games need accessibility options.

  And those need to include ‘cheats’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Stock Market is Just Financial Fantasy Sports⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main issue with all of this is that we still Indeed value companies based on this. It’s totally insane and leads to all the wrong development and ultimately to our downfall.

  Of course, when we can be utilized we’re fine.

  Dont fucking drag us into your mud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. This is already so many levels 9f wrong up to this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming on mobile⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be thinking in too simple terms but… Vlc can do everything and has no ads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nowhere regarding the mp3 code (afaik, of course) there are masses of low wage workers required for data tagging for it to work. So no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. That is by all means not an exhaustive list. The shit pile is much higher than that and I regularly forget half of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s built on ‘slave’ labor, illegal use of content and additionally using unbelievable amounts of power so the environmental concerns go right out of the window at a time where we should do everything to not do that.

  Also, AI, even if it’s the currently established term has absolutely nothing to do with neither intelligence nor sentience but is being sold as AGI (overpromised).

  This has caused huge masses of investment to gather which will pop at some point, causing all of us massive issues due to the missteps of a few.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is fossil fuel still used?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly.

  Go away with your common sense!

  Oh shit, I just read diarrhea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And not only reddit, but the internet as a whole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also not really old enough, but I thought it was license costs (as usual with Sony).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just abandoned it years ago. ‘deleting’ the account won’t do much of anything than not displaying the account to user side anymore or move it to a internal only database. At least that’s what I would do if I could and companies regularly do much worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a watcher from the outside:

  It might not be fun to hear but vpn is neither the solution to government oppression nor a solution against tracking (recently there was a good article regarding that) so all you do is pay more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My thumb stick on my 3ds is disintegrating, and my switch is starting to follow. Please help.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. If you look at the picture of the switch lite thumbstick you’ve shown I would formulate the theory that your body oils slowly decompose plastics with rubber component. 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My thumb stick on my 3ds is disintegrating, and my switch is starting to follow. Please help.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really interesting. I own a lot of devices and consoles and usually never experience something like this even on well played systems / controllers.

  But in comparison a family member uses his notebook for 1 month and it looks like it had been in a war zone for 30 years.

  How??

  No way! I thought it was a documentary!

  Kidding aside, yup.
