Very much agreed, though I'm not looking to switch back. Reddit had gradually turned into a homogenous slurry of astroturf and toxic groupthink. Lemmy lacks the critical mass for both of these to become a problem.

I still find Lemmy a better alternative, because at least I can see opinions that differ from mine. I'll gladly throwdown and get my opinions challenged rather than feel that I don't need to contribute to a discussion.

In the announcement they're showing a character that's still a work in progress.

You're saying they should push back the release of a fully functional game because they're gonna get 1 more character ready somewhere near the beginning of March?

Based on what was shown, they're fully redoing the mocap of a character with a 100+ moveset. This is a lot of work.

DLC is entirely sound when your goal is to support the game post-launch for years. This income justifies a slew of balance patches, large esports event funding as well as the addition of more characters.

You could argue that the Day 1 DLC of golden suit skins is a cashgrab or the retro t-shirts. This would be more valid, as they indeed are repackaging ready content as DLC. However, it's just a golden suit and should be considered a tip to the developers.

Do you have articles on Gates' work causing harm on the food sector? I'd love to learn more.

He had some valid reasoning behind preventing an open source covid vaccine. Whether it was the right call is up for debate.

The most prominent reason that stuck in my mind was to ensure the vaccines were of high quality and made using proper equipment. This is reasonable as a bad one could've drastically reduced trust among the general population.

I work in an AI company. 99% of our tech relies on tried and true standard computer vision solutions instead of machine-learning based. It's just that unreliable when production use requires pixel precision.

We might throw a gradient descent here or there, but not for any learning ops.

She's an optional boss. You don't need to beat her to finish the game.

Samsungs have this built in natively. Press record. Press pause to pause. Press record for more. Press stop to finish.

If you want the exact UX, then I dunno.

Isn't this a photoshop? Boring Dystopia is a lot more poignant when the content it shows has some reality to it.

While the point the image is trying to make does have quite a bit of reality behind it, the shopping is to its detriment.

It's probably US-bought goods they're using to fire. Return customers are good for business.

Agreed. We've been safe from all the bullshit here. Looks like those days might soon be over.

Ei mikään helpoin ongelma ratkoa. Saamelaisilla on ehdottomasti oikeus äänestää edustajansa. Vähemmistönä heille on tärkeää, että heidän asiaansa ajavat ihmiset, joille saamelaisten etu on ensisijainen. Katsoin erään dokumentin saamelaisten perspektiivistä jokin aika sitten, jossa korostui myös tärkeys siinä, ettei ulkopuoliset tule heikentämään heidän oikeuksiaan sisältäpäin.

Silti on hyvin tärkeää tiedostaa, ettei ole mahdollista loputtomiin rajoittaa saamelaisuutta alati pienenevälle puhdasrotuisten ryhmälle. Ironisesti tällä tavoin lopulta luodaan ongelmallinen vallan rakenne, jossa vähemmistö saa päättää enemmistön asioista.

Oma raadollinen näkemykseni on, että saamelaisten tulee sopeutua globaaliin yhteiskuntaan. Ei ole mahdollista selvitä ilman myönnytyksiä ja yhteistyötä. Sulkeutuneisuus ei kannata. Perinteistä voi ja tulee pitää kiinni, mutta ei yhteisön kustannuksella.

The more things are added in the continuity, Obi-wan becomes a weirder character.

Episode 5's retcon of Anakin Skywalker turns him into a liar. 6's retcon of Leia makes him into an even greater liar. Maybe he had his reasons to lie that hard, but yeesh.

Then we get to the prequels. He is warned that the senate is led by a sith lord. Pretty much ignores it. Our dude also trains space Hitler despite initial protests on picking up "another pathetic lifeform".

Episode 3: He is given the chance to kill him, can't do it. Yet in episode 5 and 6 Obi is egging Luke on to kill his own father.

With the Obi-wan series we are given even more meat to this with him once more backing out from killing a defenseless Anakin/Vader.

With all that said, Obi remains my favorite. There is some dissonance in the story, but I like to think that we are viewing the history of Star Wars through several accounts, which lends to different perspectives.

Pretty sure the standard option would remain as well.

However, given that almost everyone is on a smartphone here and hopped up on a cheap unlimited data plan, it's pretty accessible for 99%.
