So Spez feels he can profit from the users discussions, but he has a problem with someone else doing the same thing.

Get fucked, dickface.

Why is Steam removing them entirely? They should just remove the option to pay from that processor.

It won but it was not the best browser. It was slower, and never fully met web standards. Many sites had to write different formatting code for IE specifically. It was a nightmare from the back end.

This is absolutely a case of getting in, killing the competition, then jacking the price and tanking the quality.

And because it’s a service, despite using it for years and paying all that money into it, as soon as you leave you have nothing. All those games are just gone.

A series of tubes.

Suppository is the opposite of a pull request.

Bird watching and NSFW pics? Maybe they just like posting pictures of tits.

… I’ll see myself out.

Fascists gonna fascist.

You should read the article:

Reddit’s paywall would ostensibly only apply to certain new subreddit types, not any subreddits currently available.

Who needs Windows 98 when you can play on DOS?

I just had a conversation with someone about this on Lemmy a few days ago. His response was to call the choice “modern identity politics” and then back up his point by saying he always chose the female choice in games if he could. As if he did it from any belief that women are strong and capable and didn’t just want to see a woman on his screen. And the comment reeks of “I’m not racist! I have a black friend!” vibes.

Anyway he ended up saying Lemmy was just like Reddit and… oh, now he’s in a different thread aggravating people and saying the same thing that Lemmy is intolerant.

Right, but they were also under 6’ tall. Or were politically left-leaning. Or had dark hair. Or whatever other things they might share. Why didn’t you emphasize that? Did it even cross your mind that maybe the socio-economic background might have more influence on their work ethic than what country they happened to be born in?

You didn’t even think twice about any of those factors and settled firmly on “Indian” as the single defining thing among them. That’s racism buried so deep you don’t even recognize it.

I feel a bit bad for people like you. The first step in becoming a better person is recognizing your biases, accepting them, and trying to overcome them. You’re just in utter denial.

But you skipped over 100 other qualities they shared and instantly focused on their race. The fact that you don’t even realize your bias is what makes is so pervasive. You don’t even realize you did it, and here you are arguing that you’re not responsible.

So why is that you picked Indian as being the common attribute among them? Why didn’t you say “a few married workers were terrible”, or “workers with 3 kids”, or “people over 50”? Why did you instantly jump to them being Indian to be the single defining attribute?

THAT is prime racism.

If I talk about some white man I hired, and I said he sucked, that is also racism?

It is if you specifically mentioned that he’s white, yes. The problem is that you’re openly stating your biases as being important to the story. However your biases are exactly that, biased. You don’t know if they’re relevant or not, but you feel it necessary to say anyway. That’s prime prejudice. You don’t know their education, history, family life, economic situation, or any number of other factors that could come in to play. But you assign importance and blame to the fact they’re Indian. Racist.

Fine, but can you stop humping my leg?

Some of my colleagues are ableist, misogynistic, bigoted, power hungry, with a superiority complex.

And some of them are even Redditors

Rimworld is number 1, hands down. I guess this is my answer, but I’m going to include more games

• Factorio - enough said
• Minecraft/7 Days to Die/Valheim - I can create my own world and story
• OpenTTD - so much rail transport
• Civ4 - so many mods (Fall From Heaven makes it a great fantasy game)
• X-COM 2 - difficult tactical decisions

Most diseases that would have killed you a few hundred years ago have been solved

RFK wants to ban vaccines entirely in the US. They’ll come back frighteningly fast if he does that. They’re only “solved” as long as we keep up our vigilance.

in most of the world slavery has been eradicated.

There are more slaves alive today than at any point in history.

I’m not even doing side quests. I’m just idling on Lemmy.
