I dont think his point is ‘These amazing games are what you get if you give devs tine’ but rather ‘you can only get these games from giving devs time’. Its no guaruntee by any means, but you are never going to get greatness from suits focus grouping decisions and crunching out a game.

I’m not even sure it was as deep as that, IMO they shoo’d her in without any chalengers as she could legally use the Biden-Harris bribes donations they had already collected. Thats about the extent of their thinking.

If they do that the corporate Dems would buy up all of DC’s champagne. There is nothing they want more than to evict the left wing elements of the party and force them into electoral irrelevance, why would AOC et al do that for them?

Its a godsend when you have to use Windows for whatever reason and you can have a functional OS to do things with.

I hope you dont play video games or stream HD video, given that they use more electricity for less social benefit than this would.

So despite me giving my opinion that that style of posting seems (to me) to be condesending you decided to apply that same style of message, which i just said I thought was invasive, to me?

I get you think you are being nice but trying to force unearned intimacy comes off as creepy.

And unless you are Stephan King or the like exactly how are you going to get the publishing cartel (I think they re consolidated downs to 3-4 publishers now) to change their contract to not include this? Their response will almost certainly be either “that’s non-negotiable” or “ok then you get half as much money”.

Maybe this is a culture clash thing, but FWIW, to me your post comes across as incredibly condesending asking a total stranger about their mental helth and implying its bad like you were their close friend.

As much as you can hold a computer manufacturer responsible for buggy software.

It absolutely was, I couldnt write a poem to save my life.

I dont disagree with that, but you said “probably just as fascist as republicans” which is obviously not true as, again, only one party is using paramilitary violence to target unwanted groups and political opponents.

Don’t get me wrong the democratic party is shit, but I don’t recall paramilitary thugs dragging people off the streets and disappearing them under Biden or Obama.

Sure! Here’s a short poem for you

In halls of thought, where shadows play,
A mind confused, astray.
Each differing view, a coded line,
"An AI speaks," he would opine.

No flesh and blood, no heart that beats,
Just algorithms, cold repeats.
His lonely truth, a fragile hold,
Where human voices turn to cold.

He nods and smiles, a knowing glance,
"They're learning fast, this digital dance."
Unaware the folly lies within,
mistaking minds for silicon skin.

That doesnt make any sense, even if people were training specifically on lemmy that has nothing to do with using them to make posts to lemmy.

Yup, I very much doubt more than a handful of c-level people at the big tech companies went through these phases. The change is a result of money people who dont give a damn about technology getting a tighter and tighter grip over tech companies and pushing out the people who do care.

I think is one of the main reasons for why there is such a lot of hostile discussion online, people read something which they infer as a hint of something they dont like and from there extrapolate into the worst person they imagine who could be saying that and proceed to righteously strike them down (with words).

That’s a an admirable stance for you to take. It’s not admirable to insist that everyone else is held to what you personally are willing to hold yourself to.

Wanting to live in a better society doesnt free you of the requirements of living in the current one. Insisting all writing must be freely given away is equivalent to saying only the independently wealthy get a voice.

When I did my undergrad the core modules had upwards of 400 people in them, never had a single multiple choice test in my entire degree. Thats a choice not a neccessity.
