“Everyone’s use case is perfectly identical and can be addressed by high-density urban living and public transportation” seems to be a common one as well.
Agreed. We need to reform rap culture that suggests that guns are props to be waved around in TikToks and YouTube videos while ignoring all safety rules. We also need to reform absentee parenting culture across the board.
Just look at the number of normies who use Apple, Samsung, or vanilla Pixels as their daily driver. Unless you have a degoogled Android, all the major flagship devices are essentially surveillance and advertising powerhouses. People have embraced the willful ignorance part of this bargain. They think they need whatever proprietary garbage is offered by Apple, to the point that even their own privacy is too ethereal a concept to regret mortgaging it away in the tradeoff.
Several Lemmy communities just straight up delete non-groupthink opinions, even if they don’t violate any apparent rules. That’s way worse here than reddit ever was.
If you want to know how worthless this is, realize that Palestine is/was technically signatory to ICC enabling treaties, and they would therefore be obligated to arrest and hand over Sinwar which obviously isn’t going to happen.
Literally every country has pump action shotguns. The Russians have the Saiga as an issue shotgun already. Why not just deploy those as backup weapons. Or have 1 designated squad shotgunner.
While I’m sure this is well intentioned… It seems like a very small subset of the population to be targeting. Elderly gay Americans in rural areas with AIDS.
Statistically speaking isn’t that about 12 people nationwide?

There are instances or subs here that will delete your comment or ban you simply for posting something that disagrees with the predetermined consensus they are going for. And no, I’m not talking about racist or abusive comments, just generic shit that may not perfectly align with their narrow personal Overton window. I’m not going back to Reddit, but I wouldn’t say there is a robust and diverse discussion here either. A lot of groupthink, or perceived groupthink…because dissenting opinions get straight up deleted.
It is basically a troll question designed to exploit the lack of immediacy, recency bias, and poorly-calibrated statistical assessment of threats, among those surveyed.
For comparison they could’ve placed the subjects in a room with 2 doors at the other side labeled “A” and “B” and posed the choice to the subject this way:
“Behind door A is a man randomly selected from the population. Behind door B is a bear randomly selected from the population of all bears. You have to press one of these buttons right now and whichever button you press will open the corresponding door and give either the man or the bear access to this room.”
Gonna guess they would get wildly different results than they did when it was just a nebulous hypothetical.
Quantum foam has been a mainstream thought for some time. It is referenced extensively in Michael Crichton’s 1999 novel Timeline in which a sort of multiverse time travel is achieved by scientists using some vague method based on quantum science.
As with most of these decomps there is no copyrighted material included in the link and you have to provide your own ROM (and a very specific version of it) in order to build and get it to work.
After that I believe I just copied the folders to the Deck, mapped it as a non-Steam game, added updated artwork with the steamgriddb plugin etc.
I might have messed with the controls a bit but I don’t recall. There is probably a more detailed Steamdeck-specific guide somewhere if you care to dig.
Broadly speaking, ray-tracing is a graphic rendering technique that produces more accurate light reflections (and realistic looking graphics) but is demanding of rendering hardware and therefore associated with modern games and consoles/PCs.
The project I linked is a decomp specific to Perfect Dark that uses existing ROMs. Basically it builds you a standalone runnable Perfect Dark with more modern enhancements, but I don’t think it supports ray tracing.
The project in the original Tom’s Hardware article appears to include a separate tool that is generic and could potentially be used on various N64 games with user-supplied ROMs. I don’t see a list of games that are supported so I can’t speak for Perfect Dark.
I know there are raytracing plugins for n64 emulation but I’m not sure which Retroarch core and settings would support that. Probably requires experimentation to see what works and what doesn’t.
They really need to bring the skyline back. I had one on my Amazon wishlist for 5+ years but I was pretty broke at the time and other things kept taking priority. $30 price point was a good value, but it kept creeping up over time… and then when I finally went to buy one they were out of stock forever.

Even if they have to revert to paper charts for 2 months and pay outside consultants and their own IT overtime to wipe and restore every last piece of hardware they own, they should avoid paying any ransom. Paying these ransoms just incentivizes even more attacks.

Correct that it isn’t vague. It means “well functioning” as they would have used it. A contemporary would have said a clock that keeps time accurately is “well-regulated”. It doesn’t refer to bureaucratic regulation in the slightest, as you can compare how those topics were talked about in the same documents of the constitutional convention and the Federalist Papers etc. and the verbiage used is completely different.
People in those days used flowery language such as Washington’s quote “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.” He isn’t talking about wrenching a bicycle.
It also takes deliberate ignorance to read a list of 10 individual rights and construe that one in particular is somehow collectivized and handcuffed by a footnote about its justification.
The hilarious part of this is that statistically, many Americans have AR-15s and other rifles sitting somewhere within a few hundred yards of them. There are countless millions of them.
This would be like polling people about their fears surrounding theoretical concealed weapons when, statistically, they just got home from the grocery store or gas station and there were probably 10 people there carrying guns without incident, and they just didn’t know about it.
Excellent points. Disney couldn’t care less about the groups it claims to support. Their actions are more in line with co-opting identity groups to sell them back to you as a commodity. This fact really ossified for me when visiting Epcot a while back. I realized that many of their recent (and planned future) films are literally designed around ethnicities or cultures so they can have tie-in IP in the world showcase at Epcot, driving more merch and premium ride sales.
