I think his argument comes down to, don’t hate the playa, hate the game. Far better for them to have made the game, as it clearly is a good game. The publisher coming in and shitting all over everything is what makes the situation bad. Hopefully, this can serve as more inspiration for indie devs (who do make most of my fav games) and maybe lead to more studios not accepting Sony as a publisher. I can’t fault Arrowhead for wanting to make what they love, but I can hope Sony burns to the ground never to rise again.

I mean involvement of the voters themselves. I push a lot of my friends to just go vote, but they still won’t. If you figure out how to get people to actually want to fix the situation, let me know.

I agree with the viewpoints, but many voted for the Russia supporting party, and noone else got enough support in the primaries. There needs to be massively increased primary involvement before a systemic change to move away from the two party system can be feasible. I’m a big fan of ranked choice voting myself, but what big party candidate is going to advocate for that in the current climate? I’m hoping changes can happen over the next decade as my generation and the one below get even more active.

That would be a really fast way for me to stop spending any of my time on youtube I guess.

That’s because gum has less flavor and is unreasonably more expensive, at least in my case.

Honestly, I would switch to Linux if it didn’t take so much time to learn. I’ve messed around on a Raspberry π 4th gen board, but have no real experience. To really make the Linux jump, I’d need a tutor or something.

Also I don’t know which of my games will be compatible.

Good point. I say the software can be copywrite protected, but not the content the program generates.

In addition to the US government actually needing to do work, the senators would need to understand how to turn a computer on and off.

If you are stuck right now. Go ahead and eat some pickles. Some calories and nutrition is better than completely 0. Also keep in mind that Cal stands for Kilocalories, so a pickle serving may have anywhere from 100 to 5000 calories (0-5 Cal) based on the prior numbers

Asking the real questions here

Weird how it feels manageable to keep in the loop on Lemmy compared to Reddit. I like it a lot more.

I’m working towards it, starting with Newpipe for my current content while searching for new.

Based. That and comics of culture.

Thanks for the assist. I’m not an expert on the deep lore of the internet, but remember a few things from History class.

Makes sense it’d be the French again. They pioneered the internet after all.

And your favorite brand of [insert here] was discontinued last year adding to the growing list of permanent minor dissapointments.

What a terrible takeaway from the things I commented. Enjoy your future trolling, or on the off chance that was your attempt at good faith, try to take in what the other person is saying in the future. You’ll come off as more understanding and might be able to change minds.

Yes, I gave a simple example for ease of following my point. A simple example of thousands of potential targets that would all need to be secured by a new government faster than any one of the hostile powers that would want to capitalize on a revolution.

Also, you ask me to do better. I’ll try “harder” after you refute the other things I said. You get to put in that work first.

I understand they faced similar problems, but disagree that it can be done again. The problems are vastly larger in scale, and physical barriers that would mitigate problems like foreign influence are easily ignored with advanced technology. E.G. Russian hackers messing with water treatment plants because our current government can’t implement a secure enough system.
