  • White House Flips Out After Chicago Mayor Announces “ICE-Free Zones”

    Jump

  • replaced with a government that serves the will of its citizens.

    What are we going to do about the 20 to 40 percent of people who support ICE and other horrors?

    edit for clarity: replace "this" with concrete

  • Ed Zitron wrote an article a while ago about Business Idiots. From what I recall, the people in charge of these big companies are out of touch with users and the product, and so they make nonsense decisions. Companies aren't run by the best and brightest. They're run by people who do best in that environment.

    Microsoft seems to be full of business idiots.

  • Think it through guys

  • Older editions had stuff like "small characters are harder to hit, so they get +1 AC. But then it's weird they have a hard time hitting each other, so they get a +1 to-hit, too".

    Trying to simulate reality gets wacky real fast, and quickly becomes more work than it's worth.

  • Yeah dnd has quirks that aggravate that problem. Fighting at full capacity until you drop dead, for one. Limited options for fighting defensively (bg3 took out the dodge action).

    Some stuff you can win by being really tedious. Assassin sneak attack, then run until you reset the fight and repeat. Real Dm wouldnt allow that.

  • Is this what tiktok is? I've never delved into that slop

  • This format of text over face is kind of weird. I feel like it's the "motivational poster" template of the mid 2020s.

  • RUMOR: 'The Future of Xbox is Software Publishing' as Next Console Generation Faces Doubts

    Jump

  • I don't think Microsoft makes great decisions. They're not as bad as Google, but it doesn't seem like they deliver what users want.

    They'll probably spend billions on AI when users would rather just have a cheaper longer lasting device. But they gotta make maximum money, I guess.

  • What's your "I switched to Linux because..." Story?

    Jump

  • Fed up with Microsoft. I had a windows 10 computer they said couldn't update to windows 11, and they said Recall was coming, so I said fuck it. Switched to mint, and now I'm trying pop!_os.

    Way back like 10+ years ago I ran Ubuntu for a while, but I play a lot of video games and support was lacking. Wine, proton, and other tools have come a long way since then.

  • Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, a great looking game but with pacing issues

    Jump

  • I've tried to play it a couple times but it's just too slow. If it had an option to run at like 150% speed maybe that would help.

  • Campbell's Soup Co. admits to dumping waste into an Ohio river, violating law 5,400 times

  • This is more elegant and detailed than my usual "hang them".

  • What turn of phrase do you hate?

    Jump

  • Booleans work in any order. A and B is the same value as B and A

    Unless you're interpreting the phrase as "have your cake and then eat it too"? Which I never did before, but that would make your objections make more sense to me.

  • "Then you'll see I was right all along!"

    Jump

  • They do not. They are stupid.

  • what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?

    Jump

  • No one would go if they weren’t getting paid.

    I don't know I've met some boot lickers that would work for free.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • My old desktop couldnt update to 11. But for my newer computer, Windows recall was a deciding factor. Fuck that shit. Also fuck their "ai" nonsense.

    It's nice that it's free and doing little to nothing contrary to my interests.

  • I really do not like video as a medium for things that could be written. I don't really care for "wow look at this wacky thing that happened". I really dislike videos that are just someone talking at the camera. (Standup comedy gets a pass, but that's also not something I watch much)

    So I'm probably not watching most videos.

  • For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid

    Jump

  • I think sometimes in an informal context it's worthwhile to realize the other person is not a credible source arguing in good faith. The amount of effort it takes to discern and counter bullshit is way more than the effort to just make shit up. Sometimes you don't want to spend an hour researching to refute someone's lies.

    In that case, "You're a dishonest person arguing in bad faith" is appealing, reasonable even, despite attacking the person instead of their statements.

  • Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update

    Jump

  • I only buy drm free music and then back it up somewhere myself. Bandcamp at least is drm free, but who knows if they'll turn to shit after being bought and sold.

  • you can excuse

    Jump

  • What's the saying? Some people are more concerned with order than justice?

    I'd see that a lot with my old coworkers. They'd rather just not talk about something than be mildly uncomfortable.

  • Buying music on Bandcamp and similar has been good for me. When I got laid off I kept all the music I owned and didn't have to pay anymore. All these subscription services suck.
