Look, human conversations are full of context deduction and inference. In this case "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" states my random desire, a possible solution and the question all in one context. None of these sentences make sense in isolation as you point out, but within the same frame they absolutely give you everything you need to answer the question of find alternatives if needed.

Sorry for the random online stranger diagnosis but this is just such an excelent example of neurodivergent need for extreme clarity I couldn't help myself.

Mentioning the car wash and washing the car plus the possibility of driving the car in the same context pretty much eliminates any ambiguity. All of the puzzle pieces are there already.

I guess this is an uninteded autism test as well if this is not enough context for someone to understand the question.

Not trying to defend the idiotic argument, but feels like more often than not the human output is not what I would call coherent, capable and well functioning.

I believe we already established that they are making the ram incompatible with the systems of the poor.

Those balls don't care about your supposed clean hands. You could be using those mice with a robot arm and they would still gunk up.

You'd be surprised 🙄

This is lovely but I imagine to make this truly available for everyone everywhere you would need the tracks to look about the same as the fibre wires left by drones in Ukraine.

I think the US is so morally and socially bankrupt that a large percentage of the population basically worships money and by extension the people that have it. So trump being a literal slug man with no humanity but mega rich is a great example of how this works.

I hear complaints about UX and usability but I will give it a try. Thanks!

That's why IRC isn't and never will be a replacement for Discord. Most people don't care to accept comprimises and friction and people developing the alternatives can not impose compromises on their users and expect general market adoption.

I really wish there was some real alternative that actually worked like lemmy communities for example where you wouldn't need to self host but be able to use a server someone else made available to be able to create a community there. And search engine indexing, that would be a must imo.

No voice/video calling, no screen sharing, no persistent chat history.

I think I know which country they are talking about. I wouldn't call it over capacity, but at capacity which still means metro every 3 minutes and every train is full. The experience of so many hundreds of people moving in and out can definitely be overwhelming. Combined with the noise, the heat in the summer and the smell, even if it's on the better side of the scale world wide is still far from ideal.

 

I think what's difficult to grasp is how easy they kidnapped Maduro. If it's as easy as a few months of training, simulation and intelligence and then just do it, how is it possible that none of the other much worse world leaders have not had this happen to them until now? Has this ever even happened in recent history?

You're telling me the US had the capability to eliminate any of the worst ones in much more problematic countries and chose not to because there was no oil in it for them? That's a grim thought.

 

Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It's true they've always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I was a kid and I had all the time in the world.

These days I'm not a kid anymore and so when I game I tend to look more for memorable experiences instead of mindless grinding. Obviously I remember Valve as the experts in creating memorable experiences and I would like them to keep fully exploring those talents. They don't have that many employees, but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it's just their developers and artists and a vision. But then they use all that and create this. An Overwatch looking moba shooter, really? I'm sure people will like and play it, but is this the results of the vision and ambition of a company like Valve?

It doesn't have to be Half-Life. I remember them saying that they dont want to do another one in the series because they are looking to innovate and make something truly original. My body is ready, give me anything. I can't imagine a moba shooter really fits with this description. I'm wondering how such a low hanging concept even becomes a real product at a company as ambitious as Valve.

I hear people are having fun with the new game and I'm happy for them. I am no longer the target audience and I wish them good luck with it. In the mean time let me hear your thoughts on it. Would you like to see another single player experience from Valve?

 

I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
