  • World’s billionaires see $134 billion swiped from their fortune overnight in share price bloodbath, led by Jeff Bezos

    Jump

  • The implication that capitalism will be with us until the heat death of the universe is soooo depressing.

  • How to deal with being bald?

    Jump

  • You could always try having some fun with wigs. Lots of options there, from realistic to completely outlandish. You could even try cutting & styling one if you wanted it to look similar.

  • MuseScore in Au(rule)besh

    Jump

  • It's supposed to be Potta One for serif, Klee One for sans-serif, and MesloLGS NF for monospace.

  • I never said I wasn't going to vote.

  • Not all of us live in swing states. It's weird that so many people act as if that's the case online.

  • Rule

    Jump

  • 🤔 Definitely sus. Maybe the thought process was that it would seem weak or disgraceful to step down after the debate, so they wanted a more natural way of having him exit.

  • Time travel rule

  • Top right is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

  • ‘They Are Just Pissed Off’: Scott Galloway Warns Young People Are ‘Opting Out of America’ As Older Generations Failed Them

    Jump

  • Older generations didn't fail us, the bourgeoisie did. Don't let capitalists get away with reframing class struggle as generational struggle when that's not what it is. Poor folks of past generations weren't the problem. It was the ones wealthy enough to have political influence and control that were the problem. And that will continue being true for future generations so long as capitalism exists.

  • Can I use my Nintendo Switch in 20 years from now?

    Jump

  • open_agb_firm is another option for GBA games. Seems to offer better performance, particularly when it comes to audio. I played through Pokemon Emerald with that recently, and it was the only way I could avoid the distracting sound issues.

  • Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024

    Jump

  • When I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, I started using Feeder for news to fill that gap. I think my podcast app on Linux also uses RSS.

    I also used Feeder with Nitter for a while to keep up with friends posting on Twitter (I never really got into Twitter myself). Though that stopped working at some point.

    So yeah, RSS definitely still has uses today.

  • Remember when the Harry Potter fandom was a thing?

    Jump

  • I agree that enjoying her work doesn't necessarily make you a biggot, but it does mean you aren't an ally. Your money absolutely does make a difference. She sees continued support of her works as support of her anti-trans ideas.

  • Dropbox is sharing users' files with OpenAI, here's how to opt out

    Jump

  • How is this legal? Isn't this a violation of copyright law at the very least, plus any other licenses that might apply to the files?

  • Imagine only being allowed to upvote something?

    Jump

  • I'm aware of what he's done, but how is that fascist? Are you using some non-standard definition of fascism?

  • Imagine only being allowed to upvote something?

    Jump

  • for fascist propaganda

    Do you have a source on this? Everything I've seen them post has been left wing. Most of which was anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist.

  • Millennials hold 4.4% of all wealth, and Zuckerberg single-handedly has 2% of that wealth. There are now millennials in their 40s!

  • Can we please not platform the wife torturing rapist?

  • Looking for games with unique core mechanics

    Jump

  • Life is Strange - At least the original, the sequels are not quite as unique. It's an interactive story (though still in 3D) where you can rewind time to redo conversations, effectively making "save scumming" a core mechanic. The designers use the fact that you deliberate on your own actions quite well. The story is also pretty unique, but unfortunately there isn't a good way to explain why without spoiling any of it.

    Inscryption - On the surface, this seems like your run of the mill card game. But once you get familiar with the mechanics, some other genres start blending with it.

    Edit: Should also add:

    A Normal Lost Phone - The premise is that you find a phone that someone has lost, and you can use it to slowly uncover the story of the person who lost it and why.

  • I sure as hell don't.

    Jump

  • The original anti work community on Reddit was more about the abolition of work, before being co-opted by work reformists. It wasn't about just "pushing back", but about abolishing the modern concept of wage labor under capitalism.

    Money doesn't need to exist, so your complaint about them just wanting things for free is ludicrous and strikes me as capitalist apologia.

    I recommend reading The Abolition of Work to better understand the concept. At the very least, it would allow you to form actually compelling arguments against the idea so that you don't have to continue showing your ignorance.

  • Early opinion

    Jump

  • I've been a bit underwhelmed so far. Hoping things get more interesting as I progress. I've only seen the first map so far, but it generally doesn't feel like something new. Which I get is sort of the point with the story, but it just doesn't provide the same excitement as Crystal Oasis did back when PoF launched.

    I didn't like the Wizard's Vault at first - mainly because of the reduction in daily reward from 2 to 1 gold. As a more casual player, that seemed like quite the blow to my income. But later on I noticed I overlooked the 90 gold at 6 currency each. So I think I may even come out ahead with the changes. It's also great to have a bunch of choices, especially regarding ascended and legendary gear.

    I haven't really touched the relics much either. I got one from the meta event and just equipped that for now to have something in the slot, but none of the options really seemed significant enough to care for now.

    The any weapon on any spec thing, while interesting, doesn't feel particularly useful as a thief. I'm also out of build/equipment slots to test out new builds - so I guess I'd have to use another character to figure out if any of those new combinations are worth it on my main.

    So overall, I'm glad there's more content, but I kind of expected more for the price.

  • Early opinion

    Jump

  • I disagree. I've been playing since launch, and 90 gold is still a lot. A lot of players (probably most) don't do raids or CMs.
