  • ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’

    Jump

  • I tried a Pathfinder mod, but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I'm not sure what would do it for me exactly. I'm being a stereotypical customer where I don't know what I want, but I can tell you what I don't like, heh.

  • Reddit files lawsuit against Australia after site is banned for anyone under 16

    Jump

  • That's pretty sensible. However, most people are not sensible.

    Also, most people are only semi-literate. Even more people are technologically illiterate. Most people don't know what a router is or how to configure it, and they don't want to. It's not just ignorance that's a problem, it's also the malign refusal to learn, or refusal to believe that one can learn.

  • Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?

    Jump

  • As someone who works in software, I've been using macs at work for more than a decade. One job had Linux machines. One place had windows for developers and it was a shit show.

    Apple isn't amazing but at least the terminal is sensible.

  • Obama encourages Democrats to focus on winning back House, not "tactical differences"

    Jump

  • It's hard to explain a real plan when most people are only semi literate, with no attention span, and no real knowledge of how government works.

    What percentage of people believe the president writes laws, do you think?

  • Texas sues TV makers for taking screenshots of what people watch

    Jump

  • Would not expect Texas to go to bat for this. Maybe they'd be okay if they were doing it to hurt women or something

  • I'm cackling

    Jump

  • Uh... Okay. You asked how someone could possibly argue that it isn't racist, and I provided a path for that.

    I didn't say nor mean to imply that the more colloquial definitions are wrong. I was saying that if you are considering racism to be about oppression along racial lines, then a white guy being given mold sauce isn't it. The "if" there is doing a lot of work.

    The more commonly used sense of the word "racism" checks out here.

  • I'm cackling

    Jump

  • If you define racism as prejudice based on perceived race, then sure. If you take a more academic definition, such as this one from Wikipedia

    Racism can also be said to describe a condition in society in which a dominant racial group benefits from the oppression of others, whether that group wants such benefits or not.

    Then this scenario not so much.

  • Irish Engineers say the country has become too dependent on cars, public transport should get more funding than roads

    Jump

  • Private car transit scales badly. Public transit is a well understood solution.

  • "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." Dumbass

    Jump

  • Often, people don't read and think about things. They skim and feel.

  • ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’

    Jump

  • I don't think it was a slog, but I do find DND 5e an unsatisfying system. You spend a long time waiting to get to the cool parts of your character, and unlimited resting breaks dnd's already dubious balance.

  • Self Own

    Jump

  • I think there's a scene in a TV show recently where the modern day Nazi says something like "They like what I say. They just don't like the word Nazi"

    Many people have a, let's say, shallow understanding of history. They believe Nazis are bad but just like axiomatically. They don't have a good definition of why, and so they don't really see it when their in-group behaves the same.

  • Republicans hands are blood soaked and it doesn't look like they'll ever face justice.

  • New research shows British cities 🇬🇧 aren’t built for older people. Many can’t walk fast enough to beat a pedestrian crossing

    Jump

  • Drivers get so mad about having to wait an extra 5-10 seconds for a pedestrian. Seconds. I'm like just calm down dude.

    Why we used to do rain dances

  • There was a job interview once where the candidate was presented with a form that had 3 entry fields. They started as like [2, 4, 8]. The candidate was tasked with figuring out what made the form submit and what generated an error.

    People would build all sorts of bizarre hypothesis and fail to test them. Good candidates would have an idea, then try to invalidate it.

    It was for a QA role, where the ideal candidate would have good debugging skills instead of running with the first thing that came to mind.

    Edit: oh, it was basically this guy: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/03/upshot/a-quick-puzzle-to-test-your-problem-solving.html

  • Do we have No Man's Sky fans here?

    Jump

  • Played for a while, a few times, but there's not much challenge so I don't stick around that long. Got strong enough to kill all the sentinels easily. Got a freighter and billions of credits. Lots of resources.

    I can imagine deeper stuff they could do, and maybe they will one day.

  • UK Conservatives would end 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars | Party would also abolish zero-emission vehicle mandate, cutting legal requirement on carmakers to sell EVs

    Jump

  • Conservatives having bad ideas seems to be a universal truth

  • TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiber

  • Are .gov sources still legitimate? Are we sure this wasn't written by rfk's brain worm?

  • Emotionally speaking, where are you at with the holidays? You still get that warm fuzzy feeling or has it lost its magic for you?

    Jump

  • As a kid it was mixed. My parents would bicker sometimes. Seeing extended family was pretty nice. Getting gifts was nice. But it never was a magical fun time.

    As an adult it's hard not to see... How to say. People call themselves Christian. They buy nice toys for themselves and their close ones. They do nothing for the poor, hungry, and vulnerable among them.

    It's hard to feel good about a Switch2 when there's hunger and concentration camps.

    And then that's extremely alienating when most people don't care. They don't care about anything. They just want their cool toy and can't you just stop talking about all these upsetting things? They don't want to fix anything they just don't want to feel bad.

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • For work, a Mac and vscode. I don't love vscode but it's what everyone uses.

    Well, some of them develop on windows with like notepad++ and it's kind of a nightmare. There's no ci/cd, linting, or testing, so whenever I check out someone else's branch it's full of red squiggles.

    My personal is pop!_os Linux where I'm also using vscode because I'm too cheap to pay for pycharm.
