Zoolander

Exactly this. I would 100% buy AC: Mirage if it worked on my Apple TV natively (since you can use a controller) and Ubisoft didn’t suck a big fat donkey dick. They can go to hell with their Ubisoft Connect bullshit.

Yes, I got that. That’s why I called them “magical”. I’m pretty sure everyone knows they don’t exist. That’s the point.

Top tier response. Well done. Full marks.

I really want to know the specific “performance enhancing drugs” these people think Biden is using. No hand-waving. Be explicit and tell everyone what magical drugs these are and then let’s test them both for these drugs.

Voyager. It shows actual usernames and not display names. You’re seeing my display name, not my username.

You know… I totally forgot that I set that as my display name. No offense taken, obviously. I use a third-party Lemmy client so it never shows me that. 🤷‍♂️

Huh?

Used or owned? I own one and bought several for my company and they’re not useless at all. They’re just limited in the AR/VR experiences you can do right now. As a computer, productivity, and production device, it’s far from useless.

Why is a 2 year old article being posted now?

Yeah… a tragic mishap is getting your balls stuck in your zipper because you had to pee so bad you tried to rip your pants off. This is a bit more than a “tragic mishap”. ಠ_ಠ

MySpace wasn’t a huge barrier unless you wanted to really customize and personalize your page. You could post dumb shit just by signing up for an account (which really only needed an email address) and then you had access to add friends and post to your wall/feed right away.

Not really. You needed to know how to use a web browser and that’s about it. Facebook really opened the floodgates allowing anyone to post whatever dumb shit was in there head for all to see.

It’s not an infantile thought. Barriers of entry change the signal-to-noise ratio of what gets put on the internet.

I knew that the internet was fucked when MySpace came out and the barrier of entry was all but eliminated. When I first started using the internet, most of the info that was out there was from scientists, researchers, and people with an expertise in very specific subjects that had enough motivation to jump through the technical hoops of needing to join a BBS, host a website, or jump into IRC or another forum.

Once MySpace, and then Facebook, allowed anyone to post any dumb shit they wanted with an immediate way to spread that nonsense, it was all over. From there, corporate interests in how the internet could be used to control messaging and serve ads turned what little there was left into the same bullshit we’ve had since the advent of television. You can still find pockets of the old internet around but it’s mostly related to extremely niche interests.

He looks great but that suit looks terrible.

Except I’m not. The last time this discussion came up, I was downvoted to hell and no one said anything of the sort.

Even in these comments… most of the replies are that it’s not only about piracy. There’s one person that has said “Yeah, I agree… I pirate.”

This is the wrong crowd for that, mate. I’ve gone through this rodeo on Lemmy too many times and you’re just going to get dishonest people pretending that what they’re doing isn’t stealing. It’ll be everything from “preservation of games” to “it’s just like renting from a library” and all the extremes of dishonesty.

No one here’s going to be honest about it.

I’m pretty privileged to be in a good spot and even I can see the writing on the wall - everyone around me is sad, overwhelmed, stressed, and angry and they can’t find anything that opens the release valve. I don’t understand how all these selfish bastards can look around and think that the US is doing great.

That’s why the captivity is so desirable and why it’s only going to get worse. Desperate people don’t have the luxury of caring if the job they take is going to be fulfilling or happy. They need the money more than any empathy or principles they have. If people are sad, you replace them because there’s crowds of desperate people that also quit their last job because it made them unhappy and now all their bills are 10-15% higher than they were before.
