As someone who grew up with King’s Quest 5, Free Apple was simply tailor made for my humor receptors. God I love that shit.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Newsmax's Greg Kelly: "Maybe Epstein is a patriot, for crying out loud. Maybe he was just doing what he was told, and it had nothing to do with the girls."English27·2 days agoReposting a comment I made on a similar post about the 180 mental gymnastics MAGA are displaying.
What you’re witnessing here is described in When Prophecy Fails, a study on cults and how they justify continued belief after experiencing events that should disprove their belief.
Cult members will simply invent new reasons to continue their belief and remove the cognitive dissonance they may feel, which oddly results in a further entrenched belief, instead of a weakened one.

I did build the big ship, but I don’t think I used the planters effectively. I just remember needing to frequently recharge it and repair it.
I also wasn’t a fan, mainly due to how often you need to resupply to stay alive. You get a very small window of opportunity to do actual exploration before you need to go find more food and water, on top of gathering a bunch of other materials.
I liked parts of it, but ultimately just got frustrated with the tedious parts and bailed.

It’s just that I don’t think X would have the throughput for games. I recently learned about that functionality in a Cathode Ray Dude video, where he shows how it even got ported to Windows 3.11!

AMD does seem to have up their encoder game with the Navi series onward.
They were rightfully called out as having pretty bad encoders before that though, which I personally experienced on an RX 480 I used to have in my system. It made parsec a bit blurry and added quite a bit of latency.
Also, I would stand by the recommendation to avoid older office PC’s with AMD graphics, since none of them are going to have Navi graphics.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.nettoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Bernie is asking you. That's all hes got. Sorry guys, no one else can do it.English1·4 days agoUnion membership declined from 2023 to 2024 to under 10% of the US workforce, despite a high public approval.
I think Bernie explaining to people how unionizing could be weaponized against the regime would help, and particularly if he endorsed the IWW; a more militant union who are not corporate captured, nor only seek increased wages and are then become pacified as other more normal trade unions tend toward. The IWW is the only worker-led anti-capitalist union in the US.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.nettoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Bernie is asking you. That's all hes got. Sorry guys, no one else can do it.English32·5 days agoIt’s just that there is little to nothing the average viewer can do to make it happen.
There are some tremendously powerful actions Bernie could be suggesting we do to fix this mess.
For example, he could be publicly calling for people to:
- Perpare for and participate in a general strike, which would target the establishment’s income streams, and is capable of bringing a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale. Immigrant farm workers are already potentially going forward with this plan of action.
- Contact a grassroots decentralized union like the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)
Vaguely calling for the end of oligarchy instead of loudly calling for those very actionable steps is a bit of a missed opportunity for the resistance.
However, If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective the above mentioned methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
