Reminder: steam deck verified has to do with the game launching and having gamepad support. Performance doesn’t matter that much. Wait until you see benchmarks before you make decisions, the game can still run like shit on steam deck

Well as an American, I only feel comfortable discussing our problems. I fully believe other countries have their share of idiots

did everyone just forget

Yes. The American populace has very low political IQ, a short memory, and is very emotional. 2001 was 23 years ago, entire people were conceived, raised, and voted in that time. You have to understand that the majority of control of this country is decided on whims, opinions, and gas prices

Why aren’t the conversations beginning anew?

America doesn’t know how to discuss politics. We understand sports and can talk about politics as if they were sports, but we won’t learn a lesson until there are opposing troops on our doorstep (and honestly, I don’t think we will then)

I’m not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad

Pretty famously the Affordable Care Act polls pretty well with both parties whereas Obamacare polls very poorly with Republicans. One would find that odd considering those are two different names for the same thing

I don’t know who this is for but one of us clearly misplaced it:

The known liars with a 12% error rate? I don’t know why you wouldn’t believe them

Clearly you aren’t familiar with the Calvins Twins and their horse boxing empire

I don’t know if it’s exactly what you want but A Las Vegas boy sang gospel songs for 3 hours straight until his kidnappers brought him back back in 2014

Yeah defund the checks notes private non-profit organization run on donations! Oh that’s not what defunding means? He knows that and is watering down the word? He’s doing it so when he slashes funding from the regulatory agencies built to keep shit heads like him in line the MAGA chuds will cheer for him?

It’s sad because it’s obvious what he’s doing, and yet it’s going to work anyway

Personally I find 90% of the spam is AI slop anyway. I just hide every AI community I see and my all feed is like 8% porn. Easy enough to hide with my subscribed/local feeds

Founder’s Day. That movie fucking sucks. To quote Community “if you conspire with everyone then there’s no conspiracy, you’re just helping people.” Everyone seems to be betraying everyone for no discernable gain, none of the actors seem to be aware that they’re in the same genre as their costars, and it’s never clear whose side your on. Finally the mastermind of this scheme has what I call “the Palpatine problem.” If you’re capable of manipulating every side of a conflict in such a way that they all die and you’re left in power… aren’t you already effectively in control of everything? And isn’t it smarter to rule behind the scenes where you don’t have a target on your back AND you aren’t responsible for a bunch of serious crimes AND is it really important to you to explain your grand plans to a teenager? What do you gain from setting these events in motion? It’s a stupid ass movie, and I watch a lot of movies

Calling electric cars part of a hype cycle feels a little disingenuous to me. Either we get rid of cars, society ends, or all cars go electric. Considering that option 1 causes option 2 unless there’s a revolutionary tech breakthrough, I think it’s safe to assume electric cars are the future. Also I don’t forsee a peak in hype for them, there’s generally a lot of resistance to electric cars

Aside from the random dig at electric cars, I largely agree with this article. I don’t think the chicken coop machine learning example is quite clear to non-technical people, but I think it’s probably appropriate for the lemmy userbase

This is what 100k in cash looks like:

It’s not that tricky to fit all that in an ATM. ATMs are built to be difficult to remove and get open but with the right tools anything that can be closed can also be opened. The trick is to do that without damaging the bills inside, which I imagine the news wouldn’t report on

I mean this as politely as possible but you thought a man name Goku, who won martial arts tournaments through deceptive techniques, had a monkey tail, transformed into an ape, used a magic cloud as transportation, and had an extending pole as a weapon was unrelated to Journey to the West?

That sentence does not inspire hope

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.

• Donald Trump, July 26th 2024

You have far more hope than I do. Republicans are dogs chasing cars, they know what they want, they just don’t know what happens after. They want a permanent Christo-fascist government and we just handed them all the power to make it happen. People keep saying “there’s rules about this, there’s procedures, we have safeguards” as if that impeded him at all in his first term. The only hope I have is that they’re too stupid and incompetent to pull it off

It’s cute that the Democrats think they’re going to be allowed to run in 2028 or that there will be an election at all

You couldn’t make You’ve Got Mail today. Dating someone over email without sending pictures would be so weird that it would detract from the whole story
