  What exactly does this mean?

  If you use an LLM to help with the code does that count? Or is this just about writing and art assets?

  I’m also wondering if using AI to make concept art / placeholder text and then replacing it later counts?

  It’s really hard for me to understand how iOS is better in this sense. The only way to get this app is via the app store and the ONLY way to use the app store is be registering yourself with apple. Seems to me that you are tracked either way.

  IMHO the devs probably wrote this is Swift and just don’t have experience working with android. Whole thing/story is just off IMO.

  I’m really just sceptical about the whole thing being closed source really.

  I’m not assuming you’re unread. You are demonstrating that pretty clearly.

  I don’t need to ignore any facts about communism or socialism because I didn’t bring them up and they are immaterial to this conversation. I don’t know why you even brought that up here.

  Its a very complex topic, but honestly also self evident if you look around. The successful EU/Scandinavian countries who are “capitalist” are also falling into fascism as we speak. The only reason they held it off so long was laws that inhibit capitalism from doing as much damage as it wants to.

  The system of capitalism encourages (almost demands) antisocial, sociopathic behaviour to emerge. The ultimate result of this is always the same.

  This is too big of a topic to start an explanation from scratch in this thread. But it’s also something that is very well discussed online and written about a lot. This isn’t my idea personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The argument is that capitalism directly and basically infallibly leads to fascism. It’s not supposed to, but it’s a consistent emergent behaviour of the system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are coming at this with econ 101 level understandings.

  The people you’re arguing against here know the text book definition of capitalism.

  The issue is you are talking about some kind of “Adam Smith capitalism” but everyone else is using the term to mean what it actually is in practice.

  If you want to understand this point of view, the quickest way is to read Marx.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are getting down voted because you should read Marx before commenting about capitalism on Lemmy haha.

  Lmao, as a long time player, you really got me on the “turning my cards sideways for 2 seconds” part. It really is like that.

  I would never throw someone into a group setting to play like that on their first time. Total madness.

  The game was originally designed to be played 1v1 and group play was meant to spice that up by adding chaos and leading to wildly complex scenarios.

  OP, read up on the fall of Rome and how it all went down. It’s pretty likely we will see the fall of America in our lifetime.

  Europeans are always like “we’re bad too”. When your country has probably done what like 1, maybe 2 large scale war crimes. Let us have this one /s

  Likely less than 1% of boomers were hippies. They call it “counter culture” for a reason.

  What most people would consider “hippies” consisted of a pretty small group of people mostly living in California.

  A larger and much less genuine movement came later when John Lennon decided to appropriate hippy fashion. But that’s all it was (fashion).

  People who truly held core values like “peace, free love and compassion” were absolutely not the majority but they were loud and colorful and now we remember that period of time as being overrun with hippies.

  Yeah I’ve heard few different intersting takes. I think most people agree the expression is mechanical like you said.

  This is just my impression. It’s the lighting more than anything that makes me feel this way. The painting seems to be illuminating the devourer in a way that suggests he might be seeing his own act for the first time himself.

  Yeah, I’ve always seen Goya’s version (if this is even Saturn at all) to be an inversion or some kind of commentary on the original theme. There are a few famous paintings of this scene from before Goya’s time.

  If anything it feels to me that Saturn was in the darkness doing this act but now there is a bright and sudden light being shown on him and he is shocked or ashamed. Almost like he has possibly “snapped out” of the state he was just in and is now maybe seeing what he has done for the first time himself.
