Answering fire with fire usually just results in the forest burning down.

Keyword extraction, AI summarization. Those phrases might get you started.

Isn’t capitalism the embodyment of a few bad actors versus masses of consumers, though?

What does that lead to? Isn’t awareness and not buying into the propaganda hidden beneath microtransactions enough? You’re allowed to enjoy stuff even though you can do the minimum to not support it.

I hate EA, Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft because they exploit people for money and generally make game dev hell for many workers. The fact that they also do propaganda for the CIA or whatever doesn’t change that I can’t enjoy their newer games anyway.

The old games are pretty fun. Pirating (which I don’t condone, please don’t sue me daddy) or buying used is an option.

Never touching that shitty franchise again after this.

Why did you touch it before? It was always a pro-American propaganda tool, they didn’t start with the newest iteration, but rather with the very first one ;)

From the book:

We are not a Linux clone, or POSIX-compliant, nor are we crazy scientists, who wish to redesign everything. Generally, we stick to well-tested and proven correct designs. If it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

That almost sounds sane! Refreshing to see a project which doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel.

Nice review, thanks! I’ll definitely check that out.

I’m answering the quote you got from the article:

"[…] I don’t like making political statements. We are here to play football, and if we can’t even do that because we are making a statement and just saying normal things, like ‘no to discrimination’ or ‘no to racism’, and you cannot say that, then hey, then what?”

What is “normal” for you might be political for others. Harsh reality finally coming into contact with super rich football players?

Snap uses a server while flatpak just runs regular binaries in a sandboxed environment.

I often listen to Evan Carmichael’s “productive music” mixes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNl1nMcK1X9EHsW_b5dGzaA

The guy is pretty weird apart from that, so don’t watch his videos ;)

There’s also the app “Noice” I often use to concentrate in noisy environments without music.

thank you :)

You can probably use GlusterFS for that use case.

People don’t like to get into arguments because it makes them feel bad. You have to be a cog in the machine to live the most relaxed life, so you tend to not stray far from the norm because it’s easier.

yeah @admin@beehaw.org maybe you want to replace the link with that one (the t.co link is just forwarding there)

They did away with the toot? I still say “tooting”…

Who cares about major brands? Please stop giving Musk more attention than he deserves. I went to Lemmy/Fediverse to escape twitter, not to be bombarded by news about something the self titled Chief Twit with his kitchen sink did.

That’s not piracy, that’s reverse engineering/cracking, so you’re in the wrong community here.

And I doubt that you’d get help from crackers without your own initiative.

the 🙃 smiley is used to convey sarcasm, just like /s, but more modern.
