Tomorrow I’m finishing up a game jam with a friend, then Sunday I’m driving for like 12 hours to visit with family

It’s called “monopolize gaming without paying for developers”. The beauty of it is, if you ruin all of modern gaming and buy out all the existing hits, you can shove in monetization and project insane profits

At least until indie gaming takes over, your stock price will go to the moon

I’d personally love an ev bike, but it’d be wasted on me right now. I really want an electric car because you could run the AC all night and power a computer - I want a little hotel on wheels

Europe's Spending Billions on Green Hydrogen. It's a Risky Gamble (www.bloomberg.com)

To be clear: we’re going to use renewable hydrogen for some things, such as fertilizer manufacturing — there isn’t any other way to do them sustainably. There are applications for which it’s one of the most expensive choices, such as home heating, and a whole host of industrial processes and aviation sitting in between.

I’m just not seeing the risk here…“oh no, we wasted our time on a green tech that we didn’t need”

This is going to take time to learn to scale up, and even if it turns out not to be useful energy-wise, it’ll still create jobs now and have alternate applications down the road

Ultimately, do they care? Most shareholders are in it for the stock price, this kind of thing might affect it slightly but I doubt it’d shift the needle much

I had the original with the expansion, I used to play Tony hawk online

There was no psn back then though, you just plugged in and were good to go

No one wants to work, which is clearly a human trait despite the fact we do work like this constantly, across the board, for fun

Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?

So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I’m mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people...

In our current economic system? Absolutely, declining population is a huge problem.

As far as physics? The world doesn’t care about imaginary human numbers. Production continues to soar through the roof

We made all of this up. At any point, we could say “hey, this is a dumb game that’s making people suffer, let’s figure out something else”

Just pause awkwardly for a second, long enough to be felt but not long enough for them to start talking again, and bring up something unrelated

It’ll hit them with the feeling of social rejection, but without the confrontation or giving them anything to latch onto. Nothing to get offended about or argue against, there’s nothing to react to there

It might take longer, but it’s not a request to stop - it’s training them to not bring it up. It’ll make them uncomfortable to talk about it - even if they force themselves it’ll be uncomfortable for them

(Unless they’re high on the spectrum, in which case direct is better all around)

Desensitisation therapy of course

@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

Exactly… And ultimately they are beholden to shareholders. Which are largely in it for the stock price, not the dividends - they want numbers to go up, and they don’t care if it crashes the company in a few years when they’re no longer holding the bag

Money today is worth more than money tomorrow. With enough data and analysis, riding companies into the ground is the optimal way to make money

My older brother used to make me memorize random things. When he took me to practice driving, he’d quiz me on the color and type of cars around me. He’d ask me license plates of people in the parking lot or to remember long combinations of words letters and numbers

At one point, I could glance at an SSN or credit card number and remember it for a while… I can’t do it anymore, but my passwords are great. It’s amazing what the mind can be trained to do

We also came up with this stupid super long url, I still remember it decades later but he can never get the whole thing right. One of these days I’m going to buy the domain name and put something up there, it’s almost a password in itself

How is it a half measure? Not everyone can (or should) be a symbol

You could post your legal name and other socials on here… It would do nothing to make you more convincing imo. But by that logic, not doing so is a half measure

At this point? The moment I hear the heritage foundation is involved in anything, I either think “of course they would be” or “what hidden implication am I missing?”

What’s a CD?

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

Democracies hate this one simple trick…

When lawmakers want to take a bribe, all they have to do is legalize it. Or, skip all that and go for the goal - convince executives and the courts it’s legal, because you did bribery with extra steps. It’s a totally new thing I just made up

Didn’t you hear then? It’s a key, now start sticking it in things

Curious question

So I’m real confused at why people hate big polyamorous relationships? Like it confuses me because isn’t the basis of being poly. Loving others and loving multiple people. Giving dedication to multiple people? Which it never specified on what type of group or how big of a group. So where does the hate of big polys come from?...

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

To put it simply, I think it’s unrelatable

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I’d be interested

theneverfox,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

Ditto. I’m not going to put in the time to clean up a project working fine for me just to have it ignored or complained about. It’s all expectation, very little reward

And even if I did get volunteers, I’m not coordinating people on my personal projects. Sounds like a great way to take all the joy out of it…

Open source is just broken right now, it runs by draining the passion out of people
