That part I understand, its the “put future projects on haitus” I’m commenting about. Although I guess I gave more detail in my other comment than I did this one so fair play

I’m talking about Kyle Gass here, was it him or Kathy Griffin that did the effigy? That’s a lot more than making a joke about a possible president thats more than likely going to fuck up the entire world hadnt dodged a bullet, but again, if it wasnt, and were just talking about a joke, Once again its not inappropriate enough to end an entire lifetime relationship over, especially after he apologized and owned up to it being inappropriate
Are you guys playing a bit or is someone gonna link the youtuber for those interested?
edit: I’m an idiot, ignore me
I get that its a heavily inappropriate thing to say right now, but at the end of the day it’s an edgy joke, and while ending the tour because of security concerns (and pr concerns) makes sense, cutting all professional ties with the guy seems a bit extreme, especially since he’s already apologized
I really hope this is just PR shit and Jack Black isnt ending a friendship with a longterm friend over an edgy joke, cause like man, I know he’s a celebrity, but I had a lot of respect for him up until this point
It really is mind boggling that they are attempting to compete first mover bonus with inferior products (I’m aware GPD was doing this for YEARS before Steam moved in, but Steam is like apple moving into a product category)
Oh yeah, Steam’s software is amazing in its own right, but MAN, all of these competitors are failing right out of the gate by only giving us thumbsticks to emulate mouses with
NONE of them have touchpads either. I dont understand why these high end computer companies are trying to sell a laptop that doesnt have even a single touchpad
NONE of them have the dual touchpads the steamdeck has either. Fucking seriously… Even if having to deal with windows wasnt a dealbreaker for me, having only thumbsticks to control a computer with is a hard pass for me
Pretty sure social norms are better now than they were back when Luddites got their name associated with being against technological progress
Yeah, but the dot com bubble didnt kill the internet entirely, and the video game bubble that prompted nintendo to create its own quality seal of approval didnt kill video games entirely. This fad, when it dies, already has useful applications and when the bubble pops, those applications will survive
So, do textiles machines not exist anymore? It doesnt sound like them burning down factories stopped the textile factories in the long run
How does using free software to play dress up with anime characters bankrupt me financially?
Which is why the term Luddite has never been more accurate than since it first started getting associated with being behind on technological progress
I fail to see what part of my comment is optimistic? xD
Yeah, I know, thats why I’m finding lemmy not for me. This new rage bait every week is tiring and not adding anything to my life except stress, and once I started looking at who the moderaters were when Lemmy’d find a new thing to rave about, I found that often there was 1-3 actual moderators, which, fuck that. With reddit, the shit subs were the exception, here it feels like they ALL (FEEL being a key word here) have a tendency to dive face first into rage bait
Edit: Most of the reddit migration happened because Reddit fucked over their moderators, a lot of us were happy with well moderated discussions, and if we didnt care to have moderators, we could have just stayed with reddit after the moderators were pushed away
Ah yes, more bait articles rising to the top of Lemmy. The guy was arrested for grooming, he was sending these images to a minor. Outside of Digg, anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to Lemmy and Reddit? Lemmy’s moderation quality is shit, I think I’m starting to figure out where I lean on the success of my experimental stay with Lemmy
Edit: Oh god, I actually checked digg out after posting this and the site design makes it look like you’re actually scrolling through all of the ads at the bottom of a bulshit clickbait article
It does seem to be that way. Is the internet getting more extreme and reactionary? Or are we just noticing it more?
Man, I’m starting to get real tired of Lemmy’s extreme black and white way of talking about issues
If you think another Trump presidency isnt going to seriously have a negative effect on the world, I do not have the energy to engage with you on this
