Not quite the same sentiment, but a system of “codetermination”, as followed in Germany and in Elizabeth Warren’s proposals, would make it so worker votes would have a controlling stake in large companies. It’s not a share of profit, but it means they can override unhinged decisions in the boardroom.

It’s a lot simpler than the picture, but I always felt fascinated by the 1st-story parking arrangement. A building just appears as a parking lot dotted with support columns and a single elevator/stairway room; and above is the entire building.

If you really like the nostalgia of old instruction booklets, or buying a game outside your spoken language, try Tunic. Fantastic game

The only way lack of content still pervades is in niches. If I specifically like Game X, chances are worse than not that there’s no activity in the community built for that one game.

Basically, I guess I need to write 8 alt-account posts/memes complaining about how the Ghoul is overpowered in Dead by Daylight.

So yeah, haul the parent to court, and then sit the traumatized child down and tell them “Good news! The law has correctly identified the negligent party in this incident. You may be eligible for up to $1mil in damages!”

while he’s sitting there crying over his dead sibling. Better, you want to extend this case to a school shooting? Go announce to 30 parents that “We worked out who is negligent!” You discover common, repeating human ignorance after the fact, and nobody is saved.

The fact that some people in our society are negligent is an expected outcome. That’s why your friend will yell at you one night when you take his car keys away, and then thank you the next day when he’s sober. The point is that society can plan better for that negligence, rather than just pat themselves on the back for spotting it.

This is pretty key. If they had added this field 8 years ago, absent any context of swarms of lawmakers salivating for personal info so they can find more children to fuck, or data to sell to their donors, then I wouldn’t have thought much of it. The timing is absolutely a critical element of the discussion. Heck, wait until CA has repealed its law, and admitted in embarrassment it was a terrible implementation of child protection, and maybe I’d even be okay with adding the field.

Putting it in now is very much like the nazi standing at your door, holding a hand close to your knob, insisting “I’m not actually searching your house and breaking your 4th amendment rights! I’m just standing here, for no particular reason!”

“C’mon, guys, they’re just ARMING the untrained soldiers. They’re not even sending them to your neighborhoods!”

Guns in America, to me, are a perfect representation of the fallacy of personal responsibility.

Let’s take a scenario that, while tragic, has happened in the USA; a small boy of less than 6 finds a gun, plays with it, and shoots their baby sibling. The common refrain from responsible gun owners is: “You should’ve kept it locked and trained your family to use it responsibly!”

But who’s “you”? The shooter? The victim? One was killed and one was traumatized. The parent? They didn’t suffer nearly as much as the others.

So it’s not even the only issue where I hear “We need parents to be more responsible!” but simply saying that won’t change the number of drunk deadbeat parents putting zero effort into their children; and potentially leading other real human beings to suffer for it.

I play DBD, Arc Raiders, Wild Assault, and others just fine. Funny enough, it’s just a few specific big names with the most anticheat problems: Valorant, Fortnite, BF6, and COD. In some ways, I’m happy not to have to even consider them.

I understand the sentiment, although annoyingly enough Boston Dynamics kicks their “dogs” pretty often, and they’re build to adjust their balance very quickly.

Sorry, but something I’ve had to learn with time is that it really doesn’t matter who’s operating the gas chamber, if their actions rely on hundreds of other people openly saying “Death to all jews”. There’s no importance to whether those people would ever pull the lever themselves. The language is what’s important, not how much they were “only joking”. Both an ultra-racist and an edgy teen in their late 20s are just “trying to get away with it” and don’t care who they hurt.

Let’s also note that Lemmy has seen an influx of bot users recently. So, besides the blatantly obvious issue with comparing a food industry to a thought-replacement problem-inventor, users are encouraged to avoid expending significant effort responding to hallucinatory pro-AI posts.

Also: Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a cupcake recipe.

Two things can be true at once. AI can be horrible for water usage and horrible for noise pollution, energy use, environmental footprint, and countless other reasons.

Notably, this response seems like it came from a bot.

Right, but isn’t Lemmy itself a bit of a “less features” version of Reddit? I’m not here for features, I’m here to get away from toxic Reddit mods because fuck spez.

I’ll admit, I might have taken the bet that “reddit but not reddit” would hold at least some interest.

Case in point: Typing from a spare Surface Pro that I installed Ubuntu and some support drivers on for the touchscreen. Some update broke the touchscreen drivers, and I needed a keyboard and a lot of googling to repair them.

If this had happened on Windows, someone likely could’ve taken it to their repair shop or to Microsoft. Sadly, these days even Microsoft might’ve dropped any user aid.

Don’t believe anyone that says this website is sketchy. I use it all the time, and I don’t have any malware (that I know of).

Lose, not loose. Loose uses a soft S, and means uncoupled, held in a less firm grip.

Yeah, this was basically my shift away. I still have my windows drive as a backup but I’ve basically moved away. CachyOS covers a lot of bases for me.

…I mean, yes, which is why I lead with those 4 words. I’m hoping nobody is making critical stock bets based on Lemmy comments. It’s more of a “nice possibility” to make us hopeful we can buy PCs sometime.

One vague rumor suggested the memory pricing hill might be leveling off; sadly Valve might be paying upfront for it still, but at least it won’t get worse.
