  • @EldritchFeminity @infinitesunrise I'm not sure if it's organized, but it does describe a specific school of thought that isn't just "I don't personally want to have kids." Antinatalists generally believe that it's unethical for anyone to reproduce. The core argument is usually that since you can't consent to being born, you can't ethically impose it on someone against their will. It tends to go hand-in-hand with misanthropic ideas such as that humans are destructive to the planet/fundamentally cruel or that life in general just sucks. Ultimately, the thesis is that humans should extinct ourselves. Given the current state of the world, it's gained some traction amongst groups of people trapped deep in despair right now. (Which, let's be real - there are a lot of on Lemmy)

  • Japan’s “worst game ever made” gets official sequel after 30 years. A “disrespectful breath of fresh air” amidst intensifying censorship [Hong Kong 2097]

    Jump

  • @QuentinCallaghan

    The new Hong Kong 2097 is a “mind-numbing” twin stick shooter in which protagonist Chin makes a comeback. This time, he’s tasked by God to wipe out the population of the fictional country of “Amurikka” and establish a utopia. The sequel promises a more solid gameplay experience than its predecessor, but with an equally inappropriate and tasteless story.

    I'm sure all the gamers who insist Call of Duty isn't political will agree that this is a fictional country that says nothing about reality, right?

  • @Powderhorn This is disappointing to hear. B&J's has always been very outspoken about social issues, and it's something I was glad to see that they were able to do. It seems unlikely to be a coincidence that now is when they feel unable to continue doing so.

  • Strawberry Music Player fork from Codeberg have been taken down

    Jump

  • @brickfrog @faruniversity1990 The dev saying it's about "information on how to fund the project" is being... misleading. Windows binaries from the project are paywalled, so alternate builds being distributed via Winget presents a pretty clear threat to that funding by being free and more convenient. They're well within their right to not distribute their own builds for free, but the misleading way it's framed here is not endearing... especially given this is a fork of another piece of FOSS software that will happily provide you Windows builds.

    As an aside, it really is so much better to have stuff distributed by a package manager. Who the hell wants to download an installer from Patreon for every new release, honestly. Some devs drive me crazy with their insistence on asinine distribution channels.

  • Would you rather stop playing a game than lower the difficulty? The First Berserker: Khazan devs reckon you would | Eurogamer

    Jump

  • @theangriestbird
    In addition to ego (which I'm sure plays a role) I think I would find myself reticent to lower the difficultly to "Easy" for a couple reasons

    1. The default difficultly, which is typically "normal" is often the intended experience, and if I can play like that, I see value in it.
    2. Related to (1), difficulty settings are often poorly thought-out; it's quite common for hard mode to simply make enemies bullet sponges or for easy to turn them into cardboard cutouts, which is a disappointing experience.

  • @HawlSera I do recognize that tomboys, buff women, etc are worth representing, (and we should push for their inclusion) but that's not what I'm talking about - I mean people who look like "men" but use pronouns other than he/him.

  • I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness

    Jump

  • @HawlSera @chloyster I mean, I absolutely know people who use she/her but present very masc, and vise-versa. They may be relatively uncommon, but so are trans people in general and we're still worth representing. Not to mention non-binary people who have relatively binary gender presentation. Your experience is absolutely not universal.

  • Why Republicans are calling Walz 'Tampon Tim' — and why Democrats embrace it

    Jump

  • @theangriestbird

    “Tim Walz is a weird radical liberal,” the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms?”

    It's so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.

    Completely agreed otherwise, though.

  • Ladybird web browser now funded by GitHub co-founder, promises ‘no code’ from rivals

    Jump

  • @AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They've repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw's decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they've been pretty open about discussing it. You're way off-base.

  • @agressivelyPassive @technom That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects don't need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.

    To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools aren't strictly necessary, but they're very useful for managing that history.

  • @UrLogicFails I feel oddly mixed about PH's response to these bills. I share their opposition to these laws, but their proposed solution effectively requires locked-down device attestation ala the Chrome proposal from a few months ago, which would... also be very bad. I don't want a world where I can't control my own web browser any more than one where I need to dox myself to view porn.
