Epic signed a contract with the union stating that they would bargain (and then willfully violated it).

And the ACLU helped block the legislation to ban it in California.

Intentional misunderstanding for comedic purposes. “Sub” doesn’t have meaning on Lemmy, any more than it would on an old school phpBB forum. It’s a reddit naming convention.

I always find it fascinating that people get mad at those that couldn’t stomach genocide, rather than getting mad at the people with the power, the money and the platform who chose genocide and money over fighting fascism.

Do you get mad at a mountain lion for killing an elk? Or ivy for strangling a tree? It’s just what they do. Same with the corrupt elite and bourgeoisie. They’re corrupt and fed their own selfish desires because they are fundamentally broken, antisocial people. When one claims to be an ally but refuses to act like one in the most important and meaningful ways, it feels like betrayal and that hits differently than known malignancies acting malicious.

I did vote against Trump, but I also voted against Harris. I did that because, unlike you, I didn’t want genocide or fascism.

No, you did not. You engaged in a purely performative action with no statistical chance of a positive outcome against fascism or genocide, so that you could brag about your moral purity while offering up the rest of us to fascists, including your SO, apparently, to feed your ego.

You can lie to others and you can lie to yourself but, the math doesn’t lie. FPTP system with established parties (one of them openly fascist, that already attempted a coup) meant that there were, mathematically, two options (not a false dichotomy but a real one): voting for a candidate with a statistical chance of winning against the fascists, or letting fascists win. You chose the latter and, if we survive this, that’s something that you’ll have to come to terms with and take responsibility for.

With the video game industry’s history of unfair labor practices, the burden of proof for credibility that this did not violate contract is on Epic.

My argument is that the LLM is just a tool. It’s up to the person that used that tool to check for copyright infringement. Not the maker of the tool.

Build an inkjet printer exclusively out of stolen parts from HP, Brother, and Epson and marketed as being so good that experts can’t differentiate what they print from legal currency (except sometimes it adds cartoonish moustaches). Start selling it in retail stores alongside them. They would battery be announced, much less stocked on the shelves before C&D letters and/or arrest warrants arrived.

So glad that you held the country, and especially vulnerable populations like LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, immigrants, and disabled people, not to mention the Palestinian and Ukrainian people, hostage while demanding that Dems do things that have zero historical evidence of them agreeing to. I can’t speak for all of us but, I bet the others are also glad that you were able to keep your moral high-ground and didn’t feel at all betrayed and upset about it. /s

Some people online do that too. Arguing for a dopamine rush, whilst saying the same thing as the arguee.

If you stand still and pivot clockwise, what side of your body are you turning towards?

I remember reading an article from a few years ago a cop brought a handgun into the room after ignoring staff warnings… Then, hit the quench button.

EDIT: it was last year. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-officer-lost-gun-in-mri-machine-during-mistargeted-raid-report-says/

There’s a comm on lemmynsfw, if you’re interested in subs.

Use the modulo operator? Nah. Need to import the isEven library and a ton of other unnecessary sub-50 LOC libraries “maintained” by a single dev to make their CV look more impressive. /s

Seasoned Linux users i don’t even recommend it unless they have basic programming skills.

I’ve been using Linux about a decade and a half, and programming for almost twice that. I really just don’t like the Nix language (or DSLs altogether). I also had a poor experience with my first test of NixOS, by the docs, having not configured my networking stack, in making it impossible to fix without booting back to the live USB.

For people that do like the syntax and don’t mind DSLs, it’s pretty great and it’s excellent that the ideas have been propagating elsewhere. I love the concepts but not the implementation.

I think I understand my feelings most of the time

I thought I did too but just had trouble communicating them. It turned out that I had overestimated my comprehension. Practice has helped me a lot.

but I do have difficulty controlling them.

Something that I’d caution is that framing altogether. Emotion is part of our experience as humans and an integral part of our consciousness. Controlling our emotions (with exception of those with conditions like Bipolar PD that need help with emotional stability) is not the best goal. Emotions are important, involuntary, and frequently serve evolutionary purposes.

The more healthy way to look at it is addressing how we react when we experience our emotions. That is something that we do have control over. Those of us with ADHD often have trouble with emotional dysregulation (kind of a misnomer, IMO, as it is more about managing reaction to experienced emotions), which makes it more of a challenge. It is still possible though with practice (and accepting that failure is part of the process).

Thanks for the very comprehensive answer internet stranger, I appreciate it.

You’re very welcome. If I’ve helped yourself or anyone else in the slightest, I am delighted.

This is true. It can be done but would require functionality not included in stock Ansible.

I’d say, from my experience with Ansible, that it can absolutely do all of that. Might be able to use a single task for the package install, if the distro supports the generic package module. There’s also a pamd module that would likely cover your needs there. If not, it would still be possible with a custom module or some Xinfile fuckery (if it can be fine programmatically, it can be done in Ansible, more niche things may require writing code, however).

It would not be as terse though. Really wish there was a good middle ground.

Terrible. Unless you like Haskell, DSLs, and the like.

That said, America didn’t seem to always been fucked - surely there was a post war period up until the late 70s were for most things were pretty good (certainly as a kid I used to look up to that America), though with the caveat that it was only true if one wasn’t an Afro-American.

About that…after WWII, the US fought two major proxy wars with the USSR, including the Vietnam War, which had the “bonus” of being partly motivated by France being unable to secure colonial rule, as well as other “bonuses” like heavily documented crimes against humanity and, domestically, events like the May 4th, 1970 Kent State Massacre, where national guardsmen were dispatched to disperse a 2000 student peaceful protest, leading to the murder of 4 unarmed students and injury of 9 more, when they began firing indiscriminately into the crowd. Extra “double-bonus” of charges against the 8 indicted being dismissed by a judge and none of the victims or their families receiving anything in the way of meaningful compensation (civil damages were ultimately reduced to legal costs, despite the finding that the killings were unjustified and illegal).

And that’s just the tinniest slice of this shithole’s history that has been largely papered over with propaganda boosting the myth of the US being the “shining city on a hill” and champion of democracy. Don’t even get me started on the US treatment of South and Central America throughout its history.

Was just a strangled joke based on the game engine name :P
