Same argument Sony gave when EverQuest 2 launched with stupid high required specs. World of Warcraft launched a month later you could run on any video card from the last 5 years and the whole franchise still hasn’t recovered.

I did the same replaced a Roku device with a shield when Roku started doing startup ads. Seems to work fine then won’t respond to remote and needs a reboot, some weird stuff with the VPN too. Should have probably just got a mini form PC instead.

Return to monkey island was pretty fun if you enjoy the originals or telltale versions. The movement and gunplay in d2 was a lot of fun, too bad they screwed up so bad with the expansions and monetization.

He did support gun violence, wasn’t his whole motif the only way to stop a bag guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and armed guards in schools to prevent mass shootings? That’s clearly advocating for gun violence to avoid the obvious solution of better gun control regulations. He was willing to accept violent gun deaths in support of his 2a position.

“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.” - Karl Popper

Get wrecked white supremacist fascist, advocate for gun violence and against empathy means you shouldn’t be surprised when someone takes you up on that bet.
“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - G M Gilbert

- Comment on We risk a deluge of AI-written ‘science’ pushing corporate interests – here’s what to do about it 1 week ago:
Pay scientists to do peer review and reproduction studies, it’s negligent for any organization to fund novel research only and not also contribute to error correction and resilience when LLMs are now available. If you can’t pay for it at least release the data for reproducing the analysis. To do neither should be seen as incomplete and suspicious.

- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 3 weeks ago:
I switched from using paper notebooks to take lecture notes to using a computer for most classes around 2nd year of college and it was about the same. I mostly used the notes for spaced repetition when going over the material again a week or so after the lecture and helped keep my focus on the material during the lectures. It’s also easier to share notes with a study group if they’re already digital.

Alphacross is pretty good for crosswords but it looks like they don’t let you add your own sources which is a bummer and a couple sources have circled letters in puzzles that don’t show up that can make it a little janky

- Comment on Nihilistic online networks groom minors to commit harm. Her son was one of them 1 month ago:
Disaffected, alienated, hostile come to mind
wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(organization)
It’s cult tactics cynical manipulators in those unmoderated spaces use to indoctrinate young adults and kids to exploit and groom. They target kids who don’t have defenses to their tactics yet, either their education didn’t yet include how to critically evaluate evidence & propositions or they just weren’t mentally ready for that responsibility before engaging with predators. They want to seem edgy and offer truths on topics the kids’ parents or teachers may not be willing to engage with to draw them in to appear like they have some knowledge or power to offer other than just hate and anger.

That can sometimes be an outcome of a moral choice after accepting nihilism (what are ethics beyond our without objective meanings?), but there’s nothing necessarily relating desires for chaos and destruction to subjectivism and nihilism. Some nihilists are all about order and building so the reason they gave is bogus. They just feel the word has negative connotations so they used it without understanding what it means. It would be like saying they are jaywalkers who just want to watch the world burn. Some of them may be jaywalkers, but it’s not the motivation for them being there or necessary for them being there in those spaces.
