@snow_bunny Nah, it was Sonos. Which, I guess the app ecosystem is their whole thing - but I didnât know that at the time. I just wanted a basic sound bar, and the reviews didnât really mention that all that extra fluff was mandatory.
In retrospect Sonos sucks for a lot of other reasons too, so I guess it was a bullet dodged.
âWhy didnât she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?â he asked. âThat is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me ⌠a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.â
âItâs the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about whatâs good and whatâs desirable,â he added. âIf people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then itâs good, and if it doesnât, itâs bad ⌠thatâs sort of the root of our political problem.â
Itâs really funny when conservatives are like âSee the problem with Wokeness is <describes capitalism>â
@chloyster @alyaza I had no idea the series was developed by Humongous! That studio made so many good games that Iâm nostalgic for.
@HawlSera @chloyster I mean, I absolutely know people who use she/her but present very masc, and vise-versa. They may be relatively uncommon, but so are trans people in general and weâre still worth representing. Not to mention non-binary people who have relatively binary gender presentation. Your experience is absolutely not universal.
@Gaywallet I have a couple thoughts on this:
-
This seems like a way that device attestation could worm its way further into our devices. Right now Google is trying to watermark AI-generated photos as AI, but you could easily go the other way - if a photo hasnât been manipulated, itâs signed with a key that is locked down to device attestation. What, your phone is rooted? Thatâs kinda suspicious - how am I supposed to know your photos are real?
-
Short of that, though, I suspect that the most likely consequence of this is the videos will start being increasingly seen as necessary for true proof, since those are harder to fake - for now, at least. And of course, there will be a lot more misinformation on the internet, especially in the short term while awareness of this catches up.
@P4ulin_Kbana @potentiallynotfelix fw = fuck with. It means they like it.
@fossilesque Donât forget those of us in the back row because we slept in and got there late!
@UrLogicFails Mine go on a corkboard that I hang on the wall. It makes for nice decoration, and I get to admire them whenever I walk past!
A subset of my pins end up on my lanyard when I go to meets/conventions. I have favorites, but I usually rotate between some depending on my mood and what I got recently.
@sharkfucker420 Itâs a good thing âA Modest Proposalâ[1] wasnât titled âThe Benefits of Cannibalismâ because I guess people would have taken that at face value as well.
