Things were not perfect for me growing up, but I’m glad desert with every meal wasn’t a thing my family did. I’ve met many people who think about it like how you described.

It’s too early to panic.
paraphrand@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17thEnglish11·24 hours agoIt’s DRM free. Just practice good backups man. No need to jump to piracy.
I’m not sure I always buy into the idea that precision is bad and broadly accessible is good. Not in this era of anti-intellectualism at least.
But I definitely see your point, if you are talking about making things accessible. Vague claims of “they just want to sound smart” smell of anti-intellectualism to me.

Isn’t it just precision?

I’d rather pay the subscription.

paraphrand@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Video game actors' strike officially ends after AI dealEnglish1·3 days agohuh, interesting! It’s The Mythical Man-Month! That book was published back in 1975. They definitely know better, but must be in quite a pickle.
paraphrand@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why didn't the Democrats release the Epstein client list?English2·3 days agoI think manufacturing the complex evidence needed here wouldn’t be possible.
I had a similar thought. Why didn’t they just release democrat names? And I think it’s because while they know they can claim nothing exists (What they are doing now, after having access), if they try to cherry-pick info and claim that’s all that exists, someone with knowledge in the matter will be able to leak/prove they are cherry picking.
It’s also very tempting to buy into the idea that if the list is as long and vast as some suggest, it will undermine trust in a very real way that goes beyond MAGA/Qanon fringe conspiracy circles. I could see the Trump admin, as stupid and bumbling as they are, recognizing the fire they are playing with.
I hate how kooky that all sounds. What a fucked up situation.

And how would this fit in? Are they just going to build a bunch of excuses into the platform, and then claim it’s now impossible?

paraphrand@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Video game actors' strike officially ends after AI dealEnglish4·4 days agoAre we aware of any big name titles that are not complete because they didn’t have actors?
Is there any chance this contributed to latest GTA6 delay?
Or did all of the major studios just switch to actors that are not part of a guild/union?
Money goes to the shitbag. That makes sense.
But can you prove this is being made to take money from the original cast? How does that even work?
