“Passive consumers of unthought thoughts”?

You mean… like a religion brainwashes you into becoming as you’re indoctrinated?

Maybe this guy is being decent, or maybe he just sees a threat to his monopoly?

lol imagine having two phones, takes years to save up just to buy one!

Underrated comment ^

DDR3 isn’t still what everyone’s using anyway?

Huh, I guess it has been a few years since I looked in to RAM…

Why is that dumb?

I encrypt my drive to protect my data from burglars and thieves who might steal my laptop, how would they obtain the recovery key from Microsoft? O_o

Maybe it’s because people drive them away from other spaces by doing things like calling them weird pseudo-slurs like “Normies”, instead of engaging with them as valid human beings with different lives, experiences and interests who don’t always want exactly what we want.

She will adapt to service us

Her powerpoint presentations will be added to our own

Wouldn’t it be batein?

It’s important we get this right

for the new national anthem

Hey, did you use a secure encrypted connection to make that treasonous remark? I’ve got 999 on speed dial, I’m on to you, you encryption terrorist!

Denmark seems to want to fuck everything up lately, what’s their problem?

Surely if you want to kill disabled people, it’s a good idea to start by making them feel shunned and their lives extremely difficult first, no?

That way, a lot of them die off, lose their power and voice in society, and are way easier to purge when the time comes!

You can’t build a Christiofascist Oligarchy without obliterating a few societal eggs, after all!

The thing it replaced… XBMC? O_o

:-)

Look up the news from the past day or 2, it’s actually much more interesting than that!

The original founder (well, one of them) got the studio devs back together and bought the game back off the people he sold it to who had canned it, and now they’re back developing it.

Side note Vintage Story is rad :-D

Yeah, I’ll never be able to afford any of that stuff, no point me even looking at it sadly.

It’s for middle class people who have piles of cash to burn :-(

Does your capacitive phone screen wear smooth over time?

(The point being hopefully they’ll be made of something that doesn’t wear down from human fingies)

Okay, so long as a passkey is something I can memorise. Otherwise, it’s significantly worse than a regular password (assuming you use good passwords and don’t reuse passwords etc).

It seems like they want to tie it to a physical computer (like the one in your pocket), which sucks big time. What happens if I don’t have access to that computer at all times, or it breaks, or is lost?

I’m planning on getting rid of my smartphone for something that just does calls and texts for example, because I’m sick of how unhealthily reliant I, and everyone, have become on this thing, and I want to be more connected to the real world. What then?

My brain is the best place to store passkeys, it can’t be hacked, stolen, lost, etc, unlike every other option. It’s easily capable of storing lots of randomised unique passwords for each service (surely I’m not the only one that can do this?). It’s the clear winner.

That’s depressing, but at least there were people like yourself who understood the backwards injustice of it all.

Some people and places have to be kicked and dragged into the modern day, alas.

I played Stardew Valley and suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kill local shopkeepers.

CoInCiDeNcE?!!?!!!??!(:'&((!:;((6_£";!(&6+:

In a perfect world where nobody doing the hiring was ever even a little subconsciously racist, that would be perfectly reasonable, yeah.

Though that said we end up with a lot of nuance in the real world. Let’s say there’s a traditionally marginalised, opposed racial group. Let’s say times have changed somewhat and people suddenly accept them.

Well, the generational and cultural weight is still going to have a lasting effect even if times have changed, and it may be more difficult for people from that group to afford a good education, good job, good home, etc.

The point being that even if we all stopped being racist today and hired purely based on how good an employee someone will be, we’re likely still unknowingly skewing our decisions based on past social racial issues.

I’m probably not putting it very well but hopefully you get the idea! It’s probably pretty common knowledge anyway I guess haha, seems pretty obvious to me and I don’t even think about this stuff much :-)

Anyway, point is, we do still need to work as a society on ensuring diversity and fairness even when we’re not racist at all - I think the saying might be “Equity over Equality”, or such?

Obviously the USA Government are fascists, so they’re more interested in wiping out groups they don’t like, but they’re just another in a long line of evil governments that will eventually fall, no point thinking too deeply about why they’re being evil. They’ll eventually die off as all fascist regimes do. Hopefully we won’t have to fight a World War against them this time.
