  • My GF and I were talking about vaccines and COVID, mainly doubts about them. We both got the vaccine pretty quick. A lot of the talk was about how a healthy skepticism of the profit driven US healthcare system leaves room for doubt. It's not like the vaccine made us any less sick or prevented us from catching it, or transmitting it. So we were asking ourselves what was the point?

    Ultimately we landed at a pretty logical conclusion which is that the widespread vaccine seemed to ultimately drop the total COVID rate down and we seem to catch some variant of it similar to the flu once a year now. My sister works in healthcare and she usually knows when COVID is making the rounds. I don't find myself leaning antivaxx. I am skeptical of the Trump and Biden administrations both though in the USA. It's all too odd how willing people are to put their faith into the vaccine with literally zero doubts.

  • I find all this "bog down your system" answers to be a crock of shit. Go run ESET nod32 and put it in interactive mode. Yes, you'll get a lot of prompts but damn you'll learn so much about what's going on in your computer and the networks it's reaching out to. If you're on windows run glass wire or OSX run little snitch. I used to know a Linux alternative for those but the point stands that you should have tools that you can use in a desktop setting to really understand what is running, and what it's connecting to. You should have a program running that can check against a database of hashes of files for signature matches. It seems though like there's not strong enough AV. And I suspect that's on purpose so state actors can easily get into our systems in all nations.

  • Fuuuuck dude I loved that game. I didn’t know it got yeeted off my games list.

    I don’t care if afterwards people come out with strong political opinions people especially in a large organization will find ways to surprise you. I do care though about the product I own not getting a rug pull. It’s just more susceptible to it in an all digital market.

  • I didn’t I had just done my own google image search. He’s definitely transphobic just scrolling those comics. From A quick cursory scroll I can’t tell if he’s racist with the George Floyd thing or opinionated. It’s the mass opinion that he was suffocated.

    Usually people use coded language to hide racism though. That EA Games director for the black panther game said she doesn’t hire white people and was like overt about it for example. I’d have to dig through and scrutinize the comic artist and honestly when it comes to racist pieces of shit I don’t really want to devote my time to that, lol.

    Thanks for the link, cited really clear examples though and directly put the comics after the claims.

  • Eh I just googled it and looked in images when I did my search, and saw things that were politically conplex but the first two or three rows were not like obvious. You’d have to read and extract a knee jerk reaction to them which I’m assuming is what is happening here. Some overzealous mod on your board deleted my comment anyways.

  • Haha I guess not. Idk every game including in my opinion steam is all just a live service.

    I want to buy void train and enshrouded but with the way games get deleted off steam later I’ve kinda stopped buying games from steam now. What was that one recently? The one that looked like Days gone? The frontier cycle? Stuff like that. Indie games that seems interesting but their devs said it costs too much to run so they go offline and you bought into it.

  • Can someone tell me how decentralized money became the enemy? It is decentralized currency that is like everything we stand for literally using mastodon protocol here.

    it’s not the creators fault that the first thing the userbase did was centralize it onto these marketplaces lol. I’m reminding people that this is conceptually great but terrible implementation, across the board.

  • A friend and I subscribed to the Ubisoft plus and the game was actually fun up until level 8-9 which takes about 4-5 days of semi casual playing then taps out. Mobs at the very pinnacle are level 13. If you are level 9-10 you easily dumpster everyone. The game is worth $15 every 90 days when new content releases but not worth a box cover price because it’s a mini pirate ship mmo.

  • I've tried so many different social media platforms and every single one has been an echo chamber for their little slice of hell.

    Lemmy just happens to be FOSS tech and liberal stuff. They're all echo chambers for sure.

  • When you go just ask if there's cars or models without the car itself having a SIM card but that still has carplay. People love to drum this stuff up but they still make dumb cars. There's usually like 3 variations maybe 4 of each model. Go lower on the model to get less features but still the right amount of them.

  • Having my lights turn off from a voice control is really useful when I want to take a nap but I found that it was weird having all this shit tied into a strangers cloud (google, amazon, apple, whatever). If its hosted at home its usually just fine. As long as ET doesn't phone home.
