Path of Exile II Sets New Peak with Over 500,000 Concurrent Steam Players During Early Access
  • I always felt this game was unrewarding... There is a lot of bad loot and hardly ever any good loot. Talking about poe 1 now.

    Sometimes the character felt powerful but very quickly it's back to dying in one or two hits. I guess it's hard to balance the game so it's always at a decent difficulty level considering all variations in gear and skill.

    It also felt like they wanted players to craft gear by dice rolls, wasting a lot of time and effort on random number generator.

    I would put this game into the category "play if you don't have a job and/or family".

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • Your insults don't even make sense. :) But alright, Cu around.

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • The title obviously applies to the Indians he worked with. You seriously think the man talks about every Indian on the planet?

    Let me ask you a question. If a girl makes a video about how men suck because she is disappointed, do you think she dated every man on the planet?

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • You are right about me not recognizing it or agreeing with it. You ask why I didn't pick other attributes. Because I wanted to say Indian. Why should I pick something else that doesn't describe the situation properly?

    You think I should have said "those guys who had dark hair and were left leaning" were bad at their job? Why, when I meant the Indian people in particular?

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • Yeah I don't think it's wrong to say Indian or talk about indians. It's the same as talking about men, women, black, white, yellow.... These are attributes we use in life and it's accurate and correct to use those words to describe people and our experiences. They are just our own experiences.

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • He is talked about his team and his experiences, not all 1 billion Indians on the planet :)

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • Because they were indian. It's not racism.

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • Yes it's kind of important to assign importance to the Indian part, since that was what he was trying to describe.

    You should watch the movie "am I racist" that came out now in 2024. It makes fun of people like yourself though, but it could be fun to watch anyway to maybe see the other side of this. :)

    And you should be interested since you don't have bias right?

  • Cozy Caturday
  • Cats just look stylish every day without effort. So cute!!

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • He shared his experience here, and it's no different from making a video talking about how men are bad at dating or whatever. That video would be even worse then, because not all men are bad at dating! :) But now this person is hostile against half the planet! :)

    Opinions are allowed in life.

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • This is where you are making a logical error in your thinking. You are saying "unless he tested the performance or every white guy available to me". But he was not talking about all indian people. He doesn't have to go out and do research to talk about his experience of an indian guy he hired, that is a bit silly, no?

    We are allowed to talk about our personal experiences in life. Thats my take on it anyway.

    In fact you can't talk about anything otherwise. Because your opinion is not a scientific research paper and it was never supposed to be.

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • I don't agree, obviously. If I speak of my experiences in life, it's not racist to mention that I had bad experiences with certain countries.

    But let me ask you a question. How should he have phrased it? He should have left out the Indian part completely? So no information about the Indian part is spread on social media? That would be an improvement?

    If so, I wonder what else we should leave out when we talk about people. Should we mention age, gender, hair color, length, weight? Or nothing at all.

  • Dave Filoni is currently writing Ahsoka season two, which is set to begin filming next year
  • Acolyte was ridiculous but I liked this one.

  • YSK Richard Jewell - Wikipedia
  • You guys saw the movie right? I'm surprised it's not mentioned. I think it was good.

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • You shouldn't even have to defend yourself. I'm not racist either but people on social media think this is racism now. Because they have been told it is, and they are not questioning it.

  • Game forces you to accept selling your info to vendors before you can use it
  • They sure do value privacy, it's worth a lot to them to sell it. Maybe they should have written "your privacy is valuable to us". Extra points for throwing "gaming journey" in there, lol.

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?
  • No its just one event. The first time I've seen this on Lemmy and I can't blame people for not being sad about it.

    Anything else would be Stockholm syndrome.

  • Is Lemmy getting more radical lately?
  • Slaves cheering when a slave owner dies seems pretty normal, no?

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • Thinking this is a racist statement is not about complexity, it's just common sense to realize it's not racist. If I talk about some white man I hired, and I said he sucked, that is also racism? What should we say then... I hired "a human" and it was bad, so had to let it go? So all information about the event is cleaned away? :)

  • I'm not Indian or Canadian but like this racist shit, right?
  • In the same way as saying we hired a bad employee, a man, and had to to let him go because he was bad.

    So not racist at all. This is talking about one person's experience about indians, not all indians on the planet.

  • Sleep on it: the $700 San Francisco ‘pod’ with privacy curtains and charging ports

    Located in a former bank downtown, the facility has had 300 people apply for its remaining 17 rental beds

    Sleep on it: the $700 San Francisco ‘pod’ with privacy curtains and charging ports

    This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

    LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences

    It. Is. Never. Enough.

    You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

    I hate it.

    Alien Romulus

    I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

    Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

    I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

    Just disappointed. How about you guys?

    This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites.

    Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.

    Removing Windows Recall breaks File Explorer in latest 24H2 update - NotebookCheck.net News

    I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

    All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

    How is the calories meter on exercise bikes accurate

    The bike knows my height and weight and that's about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?

    Every body is very different, so I don't see how any calculation can be accurate.

    If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.

    I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

    Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?

    Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.

    Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

    The Elite's War on Remote Work Has Nothing to Do with Productivity

    This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty.

    These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.

    Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower
    eu.usatoday.com Are remote workers really working all day? Here's what they're doing instead

    Remote workers often brag about how productive they are at home, but a new survey sheds light on what they're really doing all day.

    Are remote workers really working all day? Here's what they're doing instead

    My favorite quote:

    > While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off.

    > Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S.

    Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time.

    It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office.

    At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.

    My Job Is to Train Tesla's Cars to Drive Themselves
    www.businessinsider.com I work on Tesla's Autopilot team. I watch hours of customers' driving videos every day and am monitored constantly.

    A worker on Tesla's Autopilot team described what it's like labeling the influx of driver videos.

    I work on Tesla's Autopilot team. I watch hours of customers' driving videos every day and am monitored constantly.

    Some quotes from the article:

    > There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program.

    > We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.

    > Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.

    These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

    Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out in Nightly Firefox Labs 131 – Firefox Nightly News

    I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner.

    And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool.

    I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.
