Every action has an equal opposite reaction…
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally 1 week ago:
Thankfully I already have for the most part. Unfortunately I’m stuck dual booting until I can find a way to run fusion 360 on Mint.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 1 week ago:
If those people are inaccurately spouting ‘facts’ from some article they can barely remember, yeah that’s pretty much exactly the same output.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 1 week ago:
I’ve made and shared plenty of 3d models for the 3D printing community. People can certainly make it a job, and that’s perfectly reasonable. But, I will never be interested in a community of for-profit model makers. If their goal is to make money off me, it’s not a community, I’m just a customer. The point of the community is to learn and share information, to help people and be helped in return. If that time is ‘work’ for you, don’t do it. Or make content and sell it on YouTube, do what you want, I’m just not interested in it.

Only available on Copilot+ PCs
Oh good, I don’t have to worry about figuring out how to disable this.
- Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers 2 weeks ago:
None of that gives an explanation of the Force in any way that removes the magical nature of it. Obi-wan just says it’s magic, and the midiclorians are magic microbes that let special people use magic. There’s still no pretense that this is a scientific advancement, just flavors of magic.
- Comment on Lossless Scaling Frame Gen gets a Decky Loader Steam Deck plugin but there's drama 2 weeks ago:
Do we need more manufactured drama? The dev made a pretty straightforward response clarifying that he didn’t make the plugin and there are some fundamental issues with it. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

While that happening, there are also TIE bombers flying past dropping bombs on them.
- Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers 2 weeks ago:
Quote the script where someone explains the science of how the Force works. A lightsaber is a special magic sword that can only be made by a space wizard using their magic on a special crystal. It’s magic with a futuristic flavor, that doesn’t make it science fiction.
- Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s cheap and looks scary. The Empire controls through fear and perceived power, not actual technological superiority. Stormtroopers primary job is to suppress dissent in civilian populations, they generally aren’t fighting an opposing army.
- Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers 2 weeks ago:
Magic swords and magic powers are exactly what makes it fantasy. I cannot imagine a worse example to pick for your point.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
You need to stop doing that yesterday. That’s literally what this meme is making fun of. The issue isn’t difficulty cleaning, of course it comes off. The issue is putting huge amounts of fat in your drains or septic system that will lead to massive problems down the line.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, most families where I live keep a grease jar. You don’t throw it out, bacon fat stays good for months, it’s like a little tub of Crisco but a thousand times better tasting.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 2 weeks ago:
They both are. Both agreements can be terminated for any reason. Larion’s says nothing that would prevent them from terminating the agreement, it only clarifies that the signer can. There’s no real difference here.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Have you ever cooked bacon? That’s about the only grease I’ve known folks to save. Maybe some from ground beef if you’re cooking up a whole lot.
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 3 weeks ago:
A set of principles of behavior. A concept of actions that are acceptable within the social group, and actions that are not.
Elephants are animals with long memories, complex social structures, and even elaborate mourning rituals. It would not surprise me at all to find they have their own set of rules for being accepted into the herd.
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 3 weeks ago:
I certainly wouldn’t discount the possibility. They unquestionably have empathy. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have spirituality too.
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 3 weeks ago:
All evidence we have demonstrates morality has existed in our species as long as we have existed in groups. This leads me to believe that morality was a catalyst to a
unifieddiverse spiritualitythat took a very long time to agree on,and we still don’t agree on it.See, it’s the same when you swap them around. When both morality and spirituality exist throughout all of written history, how can you make any claim of causality? I think spirituality is a natural extension of morality, as people began to establish collective morals, spirituality and ritual can be used to spread and reinforce ideas.
And the idea that empathy isn’t inherent is wildly ignorant. Mirror neurons are a fundamental part of our brains, suggesting empathy is taught is like claiming taste is. People are taught what to do with their empathy. Whether to embrace it or ignore it. Hell, look at any of the hundreds of examples of empathy in animals. It’s not even exclusive to vertebrates, much less civilization.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
You’re inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.
Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.
Honestly I don’t know why I’m bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you’re dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?
I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don’t have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren’t convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
The hypocrisy of claiming that you can’t judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you’ve never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.
Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
You’re judging the gaming habits of the entire population of Lemmy based on a couple anecdotes from random threads? And you want to talk about not making snap judgements?
- Comment on PSA: Get Your Parents Off the Meta AI App Right Now-This is bad, folks. Very bad. 1 month ago:
Honestly yeah this just seems like an ad trying to generate interest for yet another AI app. Seems like the type of engagement meta often tries to court.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 2 months ago:
That’s pretty much exactly what I’m saying. If you offer software that requires outside servers to run, you should be legally obligated to release the code used to run the servers if you discontinue supporting that software. That doesn’t make mmo’s any different, just a minor change to how they handle end of life.
- Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs 2 months ago:
Yeah if you think most people are going to care or even know about this, you haven’t been paying attention to the last 20 years.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 2 months ago:
Or people are used to this concept and accept it normal instead of unethical behavior that should be illegal.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 2 months ago:
Why would people here care that much about this? This kind of material exists on any site that allows user submitted content, and the only solution is aggressive automated moderation, which winds up hurting everyday users. Would you prefer that anyone who uploads a song or podcast that names a drug be automatically removed and have to be manually approved?
These are low-effort scams to steal credit card numbers, it doesn’t seem like any of these had an actual avenue to purchase drugs. They should be removed for sure, but this is hardly some wild breach of responsibility.
- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 2 months ago:
This has got to be machine printed right? They’re no worse than Wizard’s usual minis, but yeah they always suck. The biggest problem IMO is the sculpt, they look like they’re made out of mud. I assume it has to do with the rubber they use. I don’t know, I’m way too spoiled by printing my own to consider buying something that looks this bad.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 2 months ago:
You should take a look then, this one is subtly but significantly different. They found Dimethyl Sulfide, which is (to our knowledge) only created by living organisms.

Wasn’t that the big news last week?
