Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Assassin's Creed Shadows streamer goes viral after confronting whining commenters: 'Normal people don't get upset about this sh***'English11·2 months ago“Japan” isn’t a monolith. And how would we feel if Americans got upset at spaghetti westerns?
You understood wrong and are contributing to the problem.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Data Broker Brags About Having Highly Detailed Personal Information on Nearly All Internet Users4·2 months agoI think the scariest thing going forward isn’t some alphabet agency finding your anti-social messages. It’s some shitbox algorithm having a false positive and deicing you’re a threat to the regime.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Data Broker Brags About Having Highly Detailed Personal Information on Nearly All Internet Users6·2 months agoHow would they know any of it is accurate?
Doesn’t matter. Advertisement has never been about truth.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What’s something you did once and immediately thought, ‘Yeah, never again’?English31·2 months agoI got invited to the theaters and wasn’t told that it was going to be one of the full menu dinner experiences. Hated it. Mediocre, overpriced, microwaved food and distractions the whole time. They know not to invite me to those again.
Side note, if your friend wears glasses, make sure they know if it’s going to a 3d showing so they can get their contacts. Stacking glasses sucks.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•What's your favorite FPS weapon?English5·2 months agoThe Seeker from Singularity is greatly under appreciated like the whole game. It fires a steerable bullet and slows time down while doing so.
BTW, any smart asses that want to go “Well Ackchyually” that the gun shoots the whole bullet with the casing, it’s based on gyrojet guns.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•What's your favorite FPS weapon?English2·2 months agoMy friend group made a DM variant that was just Pistols with no shields and health at 400%. The only shots that mattered were headshots
We quickly learned that the pistol was not hitscan and it was always cool when two players took each other out.
You just get forced update while you’re in the middle of work and random settings resets.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux8·3 months agoJust check his video titles.
Even without it, that snark face he uses for the thumbnails are a very big tell.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux11·3 months agoBecause it’s not legal and no one’s going to develop software for XP. Someone could make and sell security patches for it, but the type of person who still runs XP either doesn’t care enough to buy security patches or it’s running some hardware that isn’t connected to the internet.
There are exactly two games released in the past few years that have XP support, but that was more a flex on the part of the developer then catering to the market. HROT and Zortch are those games if you’re curious.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•So… one of my friends blocked me because she’s going to “leave me alone now”. Is this a bad sign?5·3 months agoIt sounds like you were being an ass for a while and you’re recent comments were the breaking point.
I’m a negative person, but I try to reign it when communicating with other people. When I do have to vent, I tend to get support because I’m not being an emotional vampire to those people.
I have some other people in my life who do nothing but complain and I keep them at an arms distance. I feel worse being around them. I do not care about their petty problems.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?2·3 months agoContext matters. “Male/female” is objectifying and can be used for “objects” like jobs. “Men/women” is more personal and should be used for people. The poster is using almost exclusively “male/female” even where “men/women” should be used, which leads to some clunkiness.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•DeepSeek collects keystroke data and more, storing it in Chinese servers34·4 months agoNot gonna happen. Someone in China gave to Trump’s inauguration fund, so nothing’s getting banned.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it just me, or is the whole world in a bad mood?3·4 months agoBut what if I don’t want to go to a nazi rally?
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Am I the only one who finds it frustrating how sites seem to be prioritizing mobile users over PC users?English1·4 months agoI never really need Uber, but I was going to set it up for a trip. Even though I knew I would be using my phone to get the rides, I still will only enter credit card info on a desktop with proper blockers installed. Yeah, you can’t setup an account on desktop at all.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"2·4 months agoThat’s aside from the point I was making. Some people might be thinking that Proton is cozying up to Trump to avoid getting unfavorable treatment from his admin and they don’t really like him, but they’re out of Trump’s reach, so that can’t be the motivator.
No matter what angle, Andy Yen is just dumb.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"191·4 months agoRegrading Update 2, maybe the other board members can push his guy out? I’m paid for to the end of the year, so I’ll wait it out a bit. I’d rather not jump ship, only to have that ship also go pro fascist too.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"6·4 months agoTrump has never been honest about any of his intentions through his whole life. Proton isn’t even based in the US, so how would the US even subpoena them in the first place. The CEO’s statements make no sense.
Don’t use either. Until Trump, I still considered CCP spyware more dangerous because they would be collecting info that could be used to blackmail US politicians and businesses. Now, it’s a coin flip. In either case, use EU or FOSS apps whenever possible.
