And? It’s not halloween yet, and even so, we still have a month before Thanksgiving.
But I guess just fuck the people too busy to decorate for Halloween at the start of September.

- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 1 week ago:
Republicans are traditionally, and on paper, the party of “small government”. “Fuck off feds, it’s none of your business” type shit. Some just wanted a small central government that let states and local government make their own choices, some wanted as small as government at all levels.
Which is also why you see a minority of old school republican voters refusing to call Trump’s clown show republican.
That capitalization style is meant to be mocking, because the current dipshits in power clearly don’t have any intentions of “small government”.

I’m glad you like your city, but I’ll be over here, not living somewhere I need a dedicated two person system to avoid walking through human feces.
It’s kind of amazing just how much that simply isn’t a problem in so very much of the world, and how adaptable people are to bad situations.

Dead or Alive is the name of a videogame series, not talking about his status.
- Comment on Streaming large library of vintage gaming content 2 weeks ago:
Regarding your edit, you can’t do both. None of the lemmy UIs or apps make it clear, but it’s URL or image, image takes priority, and then you can put whetever you want in the body text of the post.
No clue why it’s not been made clear in any of the web uis or apps. I spend too much time here and see it multiple times a day.
- Comment on Streaming large library of vintage gaming content 2 weeks ago:
This is a common mistake that and it’s dumb that none of the UIs (or apparently any of the apps) make clear, but a post can only have an image or a link as it’s main thing and image takes priority, losing the link.
You can do whatever you want in the body text, having multiple images and links etc, but only one or the other for the “main post item”.
OP needs to just put the link in the body text.

That you’re mentally unwell.
Also lol, you aren’t anywhere near interesting enough for devotion. Pretty damn common grade online crazy. That was my first comment in this thread and this will be my last.
Also blocking you. 1000% because I’m a coward who can’t handle the truth. Enjoy your pigeon chess trophy.

Someone who has this for their profile description is calling for purging of people with mental health issues?
Darling, I’m sure you have a mirror somewhere. Please go take a long hard look in it for a while.
In case you’re having trouble, your description screams that you fall squarely in the category you’d like to genocide.
Some bullshit about how you “speak the truth” that the world is too “cowardly” to accept? Hoo boy. That’s classic defensive behavior from someone unwilling to accept they might actually be wrong. Someone afraid or literally incapable of serious self-reflection. Don’t bend over for your beliefs, but stop and seriously re-evaluate shit if you’ve literally reached the point of “No, the entire rest of the world is wrong due to personal failings that I’m too good to have”.
The “Masters Degree level of understanding” shit is just icing on the cake. Healthy people don’t talk that way, and even many unwell people know better than to fucking lead with something that out there. Either you have these masters degrees or you don’t. If you studied for them but were denied at the last minute due to shenanigans, that’s a story/anecdote to bring up where rarely appropriate. What you have here is “person declares themselves expert in field. source: I made it the fuck up”

The fuck is Lake Isabella and why is this written like an ad? This might make sense if you were writing about the setting of a famous or popular game, but even then it would be a stretch.

- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
Something to remember is that CTR came out three years later than MK64. That was a lot of time for that generation of games.
That said, I remember not liking CTR as a kid because while it had more depth, the friend who had it had put a ton of time into the campaign so I had no chance of keeping up with him trying to pick it up casually through the occasional multiplayer match.

- Comment on [Episode] FLCL - I wish I had someone like Mamimi... 🥲 2 weeks ago:
Buddy, if you think Naota and Mamimi’s relationship is in any way something to aspire to, or romantic, you have some growing up to do. I mean that as softly as possible.
She doesn’t actually have any feelings for him, she’s just using him to satisfy her dependency issues and frustration from his brother running off without her.
And as soon as he starts growing up and becoming more than a blank slate she can use for those purposes, she gets incredibly distant from him.
Anime in general isn’t particularly good for developing ideas of how relationships and romantic relationships should work, but FLCL is an especially bad one for that unless you really grasp the themes.
Nearly every character is just using Naota for something.
The class rep is the only one who really comes close to caring about Naota by the end, and it implies they may grow a real relationship, but even she starts out by using him.

- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 3 weeks ago:
I mean, there’s levels to this. If I’m looking for information, having a summary rather than a highly technical primary source can be very useful. Wikipedia cites its sources, and (ideally) has summaries made by groups of people familiar with the subject and following consistent and detailed publicly available style guides. Wikipedia isn’t running ads, and is not for profit.
When an AI summarizes these primary sources, or even summarizes Wikipedia, you get none of that. AI does not reliably cite sources (ones not made for it will just generate a convincing looking response, making up sources whole cloth. Ones made to cite sources will often not actually cite the ones they used, and still can make up sources more rarely). It can’t reliably summarize things accurately, as it doesn’t understand anything, especially not terms that have different meanings depending on the technical context. There’s no group of people reviewing and revising. There’s no incredibly detailed style guide. All these AI are explicitly for profit (the amount of self hosted out there is negligible and those are much less of a problem), and almost every one of the companies running them have openly spoken about future plans to try and seamlessly weave advertisements into them. Most importantly, there’s no guarantee that what it gives you will even be true.

Big has the most optional upgrades of any character in it. Try going back to his hut in the forest and picking up his bed for a better lure. There are more hidden around. I wouldn’t feel bad using a guide, as there’s not really any clues pointing to them like other character’s upgrades.

- Comment on Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters 4 weeks ago:
I mean this softly, but I’m going to guess you haven’t used OneDrive recently, and haven’t used it where it’s been set up in a competent manner. The default settings absolutely are not conpetent, espiecally for how messy computers for personal use get.
My workplace uses OneDrive to sync a specific set of user profile folders so we approximate having profiles and files that follow us without everyone needing a personal folder on a network drive that mounts at login.
The only issues we’ve had are profiles auto-downloading too mant of peoples files and eating drives on shared machines (so you just have your meeting room computers wipe all profiles every reboot and schedule reboots nightly), and I’ve had some issues where OneNote hadn’t actually synced the notebook back to the cloud before I closed on one machine and opened on a different machine so I lost some notes.
Beyond that, it’s handled even situations where I have the same file open siniltaneously on multiple machines smoothly. Syncs between login on multiple machines take 3 minutes max, and I can force it faster if I really need by pausing and resuming the sync.
I’m sure there’s situations it’s still not suited for, like editing and syncing large monolithic files (think video files over 1GB a piece). It probably sucks big time on personal machines where you’re going to have a complete mess of every file type imaginable tossed in one big unorganized heap.
But configured correctly, for general business use, it can work very well.
- Comment on Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters 4 weeks ago:
I would be shocked if this hasn’t had some set of controls to disable it in Group Policy for months now.
This is just rent seeking against Home users.
People with One Drive through corporate Azure sjbscriptions (rather than the free “you have a microsoft login” tier) already have fairly robust controls available for handling and securing private data. There’s even special Azure tiers for government work that are even further secured.
This is only going to impact home users and conpanies without strong IT teams. Which is an egregious amount of people, don’t get me wrong. It’s also a horrible anti-consumer move. But this isn’t “Microsoft fucks over their golden calf: business users”.
