Little bit of everything!

Avid Swiftie (come join us at !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech )

Gaming (Mass Effect, Witcher, and too much Satisfactory)

Sci-fi

I live for 90s TV sitcoms

  • Got to let them learn from their own mistakes

    Jump

  • It was right out of an awkward teenage drama. Only thing that could have made it worse would have been if I peed myself. I sheepishly just walked back to my seat

  • What piece of technology can we not have because of society?

    Jump

  • We stayed out all night looking for all you can eat fish restaurants.

  • God, this story and your comment reminded me. When I was... 13 or so probably, I was at some event for my brother and his group. People were speaking and I was half paying attention. I heard them say .... <

    <lastname>

    > please come up. I thought they said my name, I started getting up, my mom tried to stop me but I was indignant. I got up there and was mortified as everyone stares at me, wondering why I'm up there. To this day I think of that, and I don't get up in front of anyone unless I'm damn sure it's supposed to be me.

  • Manga Artist Loses Entire Google Account After AI Flags His Own Artwork on Drive

    Jump

  • Google has forever been notorious for "no support". No number to call, no online agents, just help pages... which mostly redirect back to themselves. Even GCP, their cloud, does this. Unless you pay for premium top tier support you're on your own. This scenario is that in practice. There is no one to appeal to, no one to talk to, there's nothing. You build your life around something like an email address, then suddenly the entire ecosystem is gone.

    When we talk about degoogling, it's not just for tinfoilhat privacy/rights issues, it's this case too. You literally cannot control your own fate. They can (and obviously do) take down accounts.

    For anyone (I know probably not here, but think family and friends) who think that they would just appeal and somehow they would get a human, literally what is the benefit to Google to reinstate you? In their eyes you're officially a risk, something that potentially governments, police departments, and lawyers would be interested in. It's a risk they don't want to take to allow you back on. Appealing even in the best cases will probably not go your way.

  • Wind-Permit Stall Is Threatening $50 Billion in US Developments

    Jump

  • Is this putting America first? It really seems like it's only putting the oil industry first...

  • Seattle Civilian Responder Team Chafes Under Police Guild Contract Restrictions

    Jump

  • God they have done everything they can to stop CARE, even when the voters told them they wanted it they still try to stop it. Then they wonder why the public doesn't have trust in them. Maybe you at least let them attempt to do what we wanted them to do without trying to throw up every block in the path?

  • Song of the Day: the cure by Olivia Rodrigo

    Jump

  • You'll never have pop music respected here unfortunately. If you like, come over to !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech, we'd love to talk about it, and in fact posted it already today.

  • Steam in a Docker container - What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • Live and learn. We all want people to be running the best technology out there, but when someone is struggling with a problem, it doesn't come across as helpful to suggest switching to something else completely without just reason why it would solve their specific problem.

  • Steam in a Docker container - What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • I'll level with you, it comes off as oblivious with a touch of arrogance. Its the same energy in the Mac vs windows arguments. What would help would be explaining why you believe podman would be a better solution to OPs problem.

  • Texas woman arrested after Facebook post over city's water concerns.

    Jump

  • Better watch out sherriff coming for you next

  • Steam in a Docker container - What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • Because that's not what OP asked.

  • Is there a good transportation game that actually simulates traffic as well as factorio does trains?

    Jump

  • What does it mean when a social media is open source?

    Jump

  • Not true, because anyone else can spin up their own instance and see them too. Nothing is private here, on purpose.

  • What does it mean when a social media is open source?

    Jump

  • Everything on Lemmy should be considered open and readable.

  • NCIS 2 IDIOTS 1 KEYBOARD

    Jump

  • Oh but your mom/grandma loved this scene. Hahahaha oh Gibbs so smart, just unplug the computer dummy dummies!

    Reality: They're both frantically typing on separate machines trying to figure put who is downloading their data, and are trying to lock the account they got access to.

    Gibbs: Unplugs their computers

    McGee: uh, what the hell boss, you know they're in our servers, our infra, tearing through erasing data, why would you think that they're hacking on our local workstations?! You do know you just killed our access, right? Now no one's trying to stop them! Kindly leave the room, we'll need to have a full escalation and postmortem, unfortunately now I'll need to involve our entire chain of command.

  • Ex-Samsung Chip Boss Says China's DRAM Blitz Could Crush The 414% DDR5 Price Spike Within A Year

    Jump

  • Good, this is what I was hoping for, especially with demand for AI datacenters shrinking. I hope Micron hates themselves for killing off Crucial when this happens

  • Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer

    Jump

  • I'll concede there, sports gaming and sports gaming are very overlapping venn diagrams

  • What would be your opinion on a lemmy/piefed instance that's run like Athen democracy?

    Jump

  • What?? I'm genuinely confused, I got an email that said they were ending it, I'll try to dig it up

  • Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer

    Jump

  • What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like "hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm"

    Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they're made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.

    Of course they don't have souls so they assume gamers don't either. Couldn't be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we're literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.
