  I don’t know what kind of logical fallacy it is in us humans, but we really think in the present that we live in a time where we’re above nature like that, as if there’s a solution to everything. And not to talk ill of you your wife, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she thought: “oh well, I’m sure we’ll figure something out before anything bad happens” once you told her. And maybe she just trusted that her father knew better, that’s also not out of the question.

  One thing has always been true though: Don’t fuck with water. Just look at the Grand Canyon after all.

  USA and wage theft, name me a more iconic duo

  Good point.

  Poor bees. That’s got to be hurting them, right? Isn’t concrete caustic?

  I saw this earlier today, the clip on lsf to be precise.
  Modern computing sucks. I remember downloading sketchy shit from astalavista.box.sk all the time, and because of that I had to format c: several times a year. But these days? Scary stuff. Luckily I don’t have crypto. And while proton on linux simulates a sandboxed windows environment, there’s still free access to root via the Z: drive that wine sets up, so unless one uses the flatpak version which is even more sandboxed, there’s still some potential danger there even as a linux user. It’s just a matter of when.

  To me that was somehow more believable than “lines existing between pyramids” which is what ley lines are based on earth. The line between the most stable structures over time lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Needs to Imagine More for Its Female Characters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  their sci-fi has a shaky grasp of science

  That last episode of season 3 with “ley line bus routes” was… 🤦 … something.

  Why does this feel like Google investing into Mozilla to avoid a monopoly lawsuit?

  Oh no! Won’t somebody think of the poor anti-vaxxer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Mario Bros Remastered open source fan project brings an impressive remake to PC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see how long that lasts. I’m just glad I grew up on Sega in the 90s. It can’t be easy being a fan of Nintendo…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arab, Muslim leaders hold emergency talks after Israel's Qatar attack⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re right. It’s absurd that Israel can get away repercussion-free with bombing targets in random countries. If anyone but Israel did that they’d be called a terrorist state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Epstein Scandal Finally Takes Down a Politician⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just can’t see how it happens without newspapers.

  Sucks that billionaires own the privately owned media, and what they don’t own they can just buy. That’s where national news services should step in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Nightly Adds CoPilot AI Chatbot + New Tab Widgets⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I miss Opera Presto, some real competition. Ladybird can’t come soon enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox Nightly Adds CoPilot AI Chatbot + New Tab Widgets⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe this is a 4D chess move by Mozilla, making everyone leave Firefox which makes Chrome such a monopoly that Google has to split with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still no EU action on Israel, despite Gaza famine⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spinless cowards. It’s clear whose hand is feeding the dogs that we call leaders here in EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple solutions rule⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe my brain was already too cooked from seeing awful stuff on the internet at the point where I watched the Animatrix, even though that’s hard to believe, I was still in my 20s back then, but I’ve totally forgotten that scene. Maybe it’s time for a rewatch, I have rewatched The Matrix a few times this year already after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple solutions rule⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That Fullmetal Alchemist episode is perhaps the most traumatic piece of anime I’ve watched to date, not counting Grave of the Fireflies of course. I haven’t watched Brotherhood, but is it in there as well?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never mind the comments here on Lemmy, but you really need a hazmat suit to enter the comments on that article. Over 1400 of them, each somehow a different type of phobic.

  I’m 1500 hours away from hitting 10k in Civ 5. I think I’ll stick with that for a few years more until LEKMOD stops being updated, and then I’ll think about giving 6 a chance…

  And yet cats kill billions of birds each year. Wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam summer sale going on... This is my haul (from GOG)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the few games based on the Quake 2 engine. Which is a shame, I quite liked the chunky feel of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam summer sale going on... This is my haul (from GOG)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I barely remember the story of SiN, but I do remember enjoying it when it came out. That whole “guy in the chair”/mission control shtick is probably why I hold this game in the same category as Deus Ex in my head, even though they’re very different.

  He did post this video a couple of days ago, but I had a hard time getting past the intro because I was cringing. Part 1 was great though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After shuttering Shadow of Mordor and MultiVersus studios, Warner Bros. Games confirm rearrangement into four bits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is bullshit indeed. Especially now with AI, seemingly it would be relatively easier to throw in some adversarial llm in a game to keep a game engaging nowadays.
  And imagine if other games started patenting systems like that: “Fatrolling is a unique movement system only found in FromSoftware games”. Soon there wouldn’t be anyone making games except for those with patents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After shuttering Shadow of Mordor and MultiVersus studios, Warner Bros. Games confirm rearrangement into four bits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Btw. the patented Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor that everyone loved despite only having been used in that one game, won’t expire until 2036, and yeah, Warner Bros. gets to keep it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This opens the door to so many possibilities. I’m just a dumb-dumb, but skimming through this: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7508700/ it seems that organ xenotransplantation might become a reality in the not too distant future.

  Hmm… Maybe I should start storing my bottle caps in a safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death toll in S.Africa floods rises to 78⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  78 dead and that number seems likely to rise. Out of a population of 63 million it could be a lot worse, but the story about a school van just swept away is still heartbreaking to hear about.
