It’s like he was trying to draw a Delorian from memory and forgot it wasn’t a truck.

She has to know he’s lying and that this won’t last. I guess we’ll get a series of similar “agreements” until he’s gone.

Some of us are still here since they black out. I haven’t posted or commented on there since.

I like most game mechanics to some extent. Creativity in combining game mechanics is key to making an outstanding game imo.

However, I don’t like things that force a time limit. I play games as an escape. I don’t like feeling stressed by a clock while I’m off the clock. These can be literal timed missions or things like a food/water meter. Escort missions also suck for similar reasons.

I think difficulty in a game should come from overcoming a foe, traversing harsh terrain, or solving a puzzle. If the game is hard because I have to stop what I’m doing to feed myself, or I have to rush to complete an objective on a timer, it just becomes work.

It’s companies acting like people who play games are all middle school aged boys that’s the problem.

So, Lemmy is comprised of several instances of itself that can all be accessed by each other so long as they are “federated” with one another. This is designed to keep the power to censor or push an agenda out of the hands of any one person (like what’s going on with Reddit, twitter/x, and meta).

Lots of people on here see a similar set up as a panacea for the problems in all kinds of information distribution. That’s why the person you’ve been talking to is proposing the idea for scientific publishing.

I don’t think it would solve any issues of veracity. The current system allows for various publications to be seen as more or less accurate/ rigorous.

The real problem with academic publishing is the expense and IP laws that are an issue for other fields as well.

Generative ai is just an advanced chat bot, a toy that uses too much power to be efficient.

My personal experience is that any output has to be double checked and edited. It would be better to just do whatever I asked it to do from the beginning. When it can fact check itself and cite sources, then it might become useful.

An ai that can comb through vast amounts of data and give an output of specific data relevant to the question presented than a generative ai might be useful. But it can’t analyze data very well at the current moment. It hallucinates too much.

Because the president should have no say in naming geographic locations that have long agreed upon names. And it’s a waste of money to have to replace all the maps and books with updated names.

There’s also no reason for Google to change anything. The US government has no power to make Google use this new name instead of the widely agreed upon name.

It’s a nod to the fact that if Trump says jump google will say “how high?” And no one with any sense likes that bigot.

That’s just how many middle managers the guy running the wood burning machine had to deal with that week.

The laws banning abortion and porn are directly based on the Christian ideology of these people. It may not be your version and they may be hypocrites, but it’s still theocracy.

Why?

It’s been the term for well over a decade. Which is when I learned about the term in college. First, second, and third world are western centric ways to talk about the alliances of Cold War countries. First world was the US, Western Europe and their allies. Second world was the communist countries, and third world was the rest of them.

Third World is a defunct term. The current nomenclature is “underdeveloped.”

Better than having nothing which is the current situation.

It’s fine for tv, but it causes input delay for video games.

This is likely to prevent people from cutting the plants and later saying they picked up a fallen bit.

People in the replies not realizing how much support the us has given to Ukraine or how much military capability Ukraine has on its own.

Ok, but that’s still better than each of them coming in, in their own cars.

I’m with you on this. Marvel Rivals feels off/ cheap in a way I don’t really know how to articulate.

Then who should be the one deciding what gets censored and how?
