Games@lemmy.world•Time to bring back physical media on PC?English
3·4 hours agoNo. Optical media bad.
The issue isn’t the copy being physical. The issue is the included license being too limiting.
Licenses aren’t new or necessarily bad. Even physical retail copies of movies with a license. You know that FBI and InterPol warning at the very beginning? That’s your license. It basically just limits you to personal use. If you charge people money to come to your house and watch it, or if you charge money to rent it, you need to purchase a copy that comes with a license which allows that.
If you were around during the days of movie rental stores, if you ever lost a rental movie and had to replace it, it would often cost $100 or more because you were replacing a copy that came with a rental license.
An ideal purchase would be a digital copy with a license similar to the one included with physical retail copies.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the difference between socialism and communism? Is there one? Or are the terms interchangeable?English
1·9 hours agoThey’re both economic terms. Socialism gives society control over the means of production. Communism gives the government control. The reason people think they’re the same is because, in a democratic political system, the government represents their society.
China is an example of an authoritarian state where the government acts independently of the will of society, has complete control over the means of production, and enforces that control, so it’s considered communist.
Scandinavian countries are examples of democratic states where the people have control over the means of production, the government is simply a mechanism that enforces that control, so they’re considered socialist.
The USA is an example of a capitalist state where businesses control the means of production, the government is simply a mechanism that enforces that control, so they’re considered capitalist.

1·9 hours agoYeah, but he only emphasized the “Socialist” part of the name in front of socialists. In front of nationalists, he called it the “Nationalist social” party like we’re all just socializing with each other.
The truth is, Hitler supported the ideology of whoever he was addressing. He didn’t care about implementing any specific system, as long as he had absolute power over it.

1·9 hours agoHe only described himself as a socialist to other socialists. In front of other nationalists, he called himself a nationalist.
His party was called the “Nationalist Socialist” party. When he addressed nationalists, he would capitalize the N and call it the “Nationalist social” party like we’re all just a bunch of nationalists socializing. But, when he spoke to socialists, he would capitalize the S and call it the “national Socialist” party.
Hitler didn’t care about nationalism or socialism. He only cared about saying whatever he thought he needed to say to obtain as much power as possible.

101·9 hours agoBusinesses (capital), labor (society), and the government are the three main components of a functioning state.
“Capitalism”, “socialism”, and “communism” are terms used to describe who is given the most control over the means of production in the economic system of a state.
“Capitalism” describes an economic system that places most of the control in the hands of capital (businesses). “Socialism” describes an economic system that places most of the control with workers (society), and communism describes an economic system that places most of the control with the government.
It should be noted that, even though these terms are VERY often conflated and even used interchangeably with terms that describe political systems, such as “authoritarian” or “democratic”, the fact is that these terms have nothing to do with each other and no combination of terms from either set are mutually exclusive.
To say it more simply, any capitalist, socialist, or communist society can also be democratic or authoritarian. The idea that socialism is the same thing as authoritarianism is propaganda created by capitalists who are scared to death of livong in a society that places the needs of the common working man above the needs of the biggest businesses in the country.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Two anus facts in a row.English
28·10 hours agoThe horse rectum and anus are a marvel of engineering. Together, they’re capable of expelling waste, segmenting waste, and cleaning themselves, with one contraction performed by a single muscle.
As the sphincter contracts, it pushes out the waste, while also tightening to divide the waste into precisely segmented portions. If you weigh the individual pieces of waste, they weigh the same, within only a half ounce or so of each other.
After the waste is expelled, before the sphincter relaxes, it squeezes the rectum in the direction of the anus, effectively cleaning the rectum of any remaining waste.
This design has been replicated mechanically and applied to countless manufacring processes. Just about any time some amount of fluid needs to be precisely portioned out on an assembly line, it uses a device that was designed to be basically a mechanical version of a horse’s asshole because it does such a good job of dispensing consistent quantities while minimizing waste, requiring very little maintenance and upkeep, and being very simple to build.

Cool community, cool posts. I can see myself lurking there, but probably not posting very much. I like shitposting and they seem to prefer more effort than what normally goes into your average shitpost

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would a metal gazebo be safe during a lightning storm?English
1·10 hours agoNo, you’re calling it wrong, then describing the same thing using different words and asserting that your description is right and the other is wrong. Whether you say “metal conducts electricity” or “metal attracts electricity” doesn’t matter when the idea you’re expressing is, “electricity can be expected to go where metal is.”
Either way, I don’t have the time or the inclination or be pedantic with strangers on the internet regarding matters I already understand and ultimately don’t matter.
Good luck to you 👍

1·14 hours agoYou can keep describing it in different, more technical terms if you want, all you’re doing is making yourself more correct, not making me less correct.
Of course you and I know “attract” isn’t the correct technical term, but that’s the term OP used and there’s nothing wrong with adjusting your message to communicate the same idea using words your audience will understand.
A lay person thinking “electricity is attracted to metal” still holds an accurate mental model of what can be expected. OP wanted to know if their mental model was correct, not whether they used the correct terminology to describe it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has anyone ever actually had their vehicle tabs stolen?English
1·21 hours agoMaybe. I’m referring to the metal plate with the numbers on it. If OP is referring to the little sticker in the corner of the plate with the year on it, I’ve never heard of that being stolen, and stealing it wouldn’t even accomplish anything, at least not in the US.
Every sticker I’ve gotten also has the plate number written on it. The sticker is a different color every year too so you can’t cut the year off a random sticker and stick it over your own.
Not to mention, no cop is going to rely on what the sticker says, they’re going to run the plate through their computer and act based on what it says.
