How many people have pushed back on the goons terrorizing your streets using assault rifles? How many are willing to actually carry weapons against their oppressive leadership?

Well no I don't and I agree but the problem with the great filter theory is that currently the only way to prove it is real is to confirm it through human extinction which is paradoxical for us as a species.

Technically a great filter would assume the species is extinct before it goes intergalactic, but if billionaires can somehow survive on their own on a wasteland planet and achieve long range travel and leave a detectable mark on the universe, then the filter did not in fact apply even with a fraction of the population remaining. The great filter doesn't care if the working class gets to be the one to leave the mark, only that the species overall does. Also the marks left can just be endless capitalistic destruction and ruin.

We may be inteligent as a species but we are not wise. Since we exist already as a species in this universe, adding just one attribute doesn't seem that outlandish to obtain a better more successful version of us that can avoid the filter. Even for us, we don't yet know if the filter is real and if it will apply to us or we will only cause it to other unfortunate species that share the same planet as us.

On one hand supporting a product with parts only for 6 months after it's discontinued is unacceptable. On the other hand, most manufactures don't even do this or offer parts at all. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when it comes to right to repair.

I've tried this many times over the years but when the walls are already heated up and the temperature outside stays high during the night it makes very little difference to confort levels. The heat just radiates from the walls and heats the inside air all night. Until I got proper air conditioning installed I just suffered during the summer.

When it's 40°C outside during the day and 27°C during the night the apartment doesn't get the chance to cool down and fans only move hot air around. Portable air conditioners keep the dead alive with their noise while also cooling about as well as a wet rag. I totally understand the desperation of just sleeping outside during the night.

Keeping your head down, worrying only about your own problems is exactly what the Epstein class wants out of you. Don't ask, don't question, don't push, just lie down and take it.

Every little thing in the car has a computer and they have kilometers of wire connecting it all. You would need hundreds of Raspberry PIs with CAN and LIN communication capabilities.

While developing a new car each of those computers has a team of developers and testers working for two or more years on that single thing, so in total a few thousand people have touched just the electronics in that car. Even if they cared about your privacy no single person would ever be able to know for sure what software is running on what hardware in every corner of that car.

The only way you'd get a feasible DIY car is with 1950s or 60s technology which is illegal to sell in most developed economies.

Was checking this out recently but everyone in this thread will be dead of old age by then, it's not expected to be a fast transition.

Same hour and temperature in my area but this was outside. We are fucked.

Yes, I would like new games please. Not necessarily console related, just I don't want to be stuck in the past, I would like to have new good experiences in my favorite medium thank you very much.

 

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!
