SloganLessons

They usually skip the morality and jump straight to the whataboutism. They know that the thing is bad and won’t argue that, but they will try to sweep it under the rug and change the narrative to US doing something bad too.

At the end of the day they’re like kids in a playground justifying that they can do something bad because someone else did it too.

Oh and I can tell that someone will misinterpret my comment and think I’m downplaying the sh*t that the US did

Same, despite being in early access it’s already a lot of fun. Feels like the game that I wanted gamefreak to make but never did.

Here’s how interacted with this post:

• Title told me that “lower is better”. Assumption: it’s introducing the graph, I should look at it
• Graph shows from left to right the best browsers for privacy. Assumption: they are the best for privacy, the title told me so

Then I read the description. But I’m a data analyst, I’m used to look at the details. Most people do not. They want quick “tell me what’s happening”. It’s something you accept if you work in this field, the best DAs can tell their stories in just a few graphs.

Tip: assume that people won’t read anything. They will just look at the graph. If each point is not equal, then your graph needs to show it. Looking at the source really quick, I maybe would’ve done a graph that shows points per category. It would need some work to look good and not cluttered, but that way you can let the viewer decide for themselves what they consider important and look at the points that matter to them.

Take this as constructive criticism and not as a “gotcha”, I fall for this trap every once in a while too. Try to not be frustrated, it’s just how it is. Next time you’ll do a better job at passing your message

I’m hearing you, but where would you even stick it? There’s no hole

It will hit the lid

My issue with tweets like this is that while the vast majority thinks “that’s fucked up” then go about their lives, some will think “philipines you say?”

Hey there, I think there’s a bit more to consider in this topic. Firstly, it’s not just the U.S. holding the fort in places like Eastern Europe. European countries, along with other members of NATO, play a big role in their own defense and stability of the region. Don’t forget that there are nuclear powers in EU too.

Also, the U.S. being involved overseas isn’t just a one-way street where America sacrifices for the sake of others. There are strategic benefits for the U.S., like securing trade routes, building diplomatic relationships, and even national security perks.

And about socialism and isolationism being mixed up – they’re actually quite different. Socialism is more about how an economy is managed, not how a country deals with foreign policy. Many countries with socialist elements are pretty active globally.

Regarding Europe and East Asia, calling them isolationist isn’t quite right. These regions are major players in international trade and politics. For instance, the EU is a huge economic bloc and actively participates in global affairs, and so does East Asia, with countries like Japan and South Korea being key international players.

Yes

right, but what matters to most ad publishers is the number of eyeballs that are converted into buying customers

My chips are also on them coming back, but at the same time it feels like Musk wants to make Twitter’s business harder than it needs to be.

This reaction doesn’t come from the last tweet itself, instead it comes from him not stopping with hot takes and not showing any signs of slowing down.

If he keeps going, I could see companies just accepting “it is what it is” and coming back, but at the same time it also feels like he’s one tweet away from going too far for most companies. And it’s not like Twitter is a strong social media anyway, they are not even in the top 10 social medias in terms of active users count: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/

Maybe these companies may also decide that dealing with Twitter is more trouble than it’s worth. But we’ll see

Both.

Games that are usually criticized by this, also tend to be games that sell really well. Think Sony exclusives like Uncharted, TLoU, etc.

Some of the most beloved games by the communities are also story heavy, like Bioshock, Mass Effect, System Shock, etc. These games I mentioned have passable gameplay even when they were released, case in point, whenever you talk with someone about these games, they won’t talk about the gameplay, they will talk about the twists, the characters, etc.

Then there are games that are the antithesis to this post: interactive movies and visual novels. Quantic Dream’s games (detroit become human, heavy rain, etc) despite all their faults, sold well. Telltalle’s put their foot in the industry with the first season of The Walking Dead, and they would still be in business today if it wasn’t for their one trick pony game design and biting more than they could chew. Visual novels tend to be in the grey area and some people argue they aren’t games at all, but some do feature gameplay, and people don’t play those for the gameplay I can promise you that.

I do share the opinion that many publishers & studios in the gaming industry have the wrong idea that they need to be like the movie industry and have cinematic games. They don’t. But the demand for those types of games exist too

But I want to defend my -ism

I don’t have a habit of sharing identifiable information on the internet, but that goes doubly true here.

While using another instance, the one with the bee theme, I deleted a comment that I made sometime sooner. Out of curiosity I checked that same thread from the other instances, and there was one where my comment was still showing up.

Now, that comment wasn’t anything special. I said something wrong and found out later, so I deleted it.

But what this means is that, if I share something I shouldn’t, I don’t trust that every instance will delete my comment.

Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS

This is a trick question, the real answer is that there weren’t real communist countries

1 - YMMV, as I mentioned

2- as a consequence, popular distros like Ubuntu and Fedora too. I expect other GUI’s and therefore distros to follow

3- Didn’t mean to imply they don’t, what I meant is that they have issues and will make users jump to other ships.

4, 5 and 6, Lutris and later Steam itself when I was running out of ideas, and yes it does run on Linux as long you can figure out the correct proton/wine version or buy the game from Steam. Point here was that gaming on Linux can be convenient or very annoying, depending on the games you want to play. YMMV

I legit miss that feature when I’m using other PCs

YMMV

If you have an old nvidia card, you’re going to have issues with some games. BF4 for example, no matter what you do you will have lag and stutter

There’s wayland and lack of support for nvidia cards, and major distros and GUI’s dropping x11 in favour of wayland (regardless of whose fault it is or if it’s good or bad in grand scheme of things, whoever has an nvidia GPU is going to be forced to use other distros or windows)

And then the whole proton and wine stuff… I just installed CoD 2 and had to fetch some commands in order for it to run, else it crashed after playing the first cut scene. And then there are other games, like Divinity dragon commander, that I couldn’t figure how to get it to run. Tried several proton versions, none of them launched the game. My fault or ignorance? Perhaps, but on windows it would run first try.

It was the inverse for me. Windows 7 was always a nightmare to set up drivers, it was common to manually download the wifi drivers from the laptop’s brand website. I groaned whenever someone asked me to help set up their PC.

Windows 10 just works out of the box. The only downside for me is aesthetics, I always preferred Aero.
