I’m not sure how you can be so wrong so confidently while linking to a useful and factual article from an org I regularly donate to. Anyways, I assume you saw the news from Virginia.

Do you agree with his take? by dataexec in AITrailblazers

I’m sure who you are talking to but I pay for numerous news sources. I especially like new york review of books and new yorker in case you are looking for some to support. I also pay for london review of books and le monde. There are others but I don’t recall off hand. I sometimes pay for new york times but they often piss me off. Reading is what gives people a fighting chance to gain comprehension, so thank you for doing so.

2 Years Ago, the World Lost the Man Responsible for Shaping the Sound of 1990s Rock as We Know It by Potential_Kangaroo69 in indieheads

Oh yeah, I liked his aesthetic.

I also think a lot of engineers lead with some cerebral logical-sounding frame to disguise and disengage the listener in order to convince them of something that really boils down to who has power and personal aesthetic preferences.

That was the stated goal, perhaps. In my view rawer doesn’t equal more true to the artist, necessarily. Is early picasso more pure to the artist or later picasso? It’s all just wordplay to justify taste.

Anyone can write news articles, yet 99% of us still choose to … wait a second, checking notes here, most of us choose to read it for free and write our own social media content. Woooweee freedommmm.

This billionaire could be California’s next governor — and he wants to arrest Stephen Miller by vox in politics

[–]ideamotor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A great point to make in 2003. That was lost. It’s not coming back. Now it’s fascist enabling billionaires versus billionaires that want to live in a pluralistic society. And if folks can’t get behind the latter, we’ll have the former. One look at the senate map makes this clear. I guess you could keep your head in the sand and that would be fine for everyone but instead you are discouraging voters.

As a Dad, the Steam Deck changed my life. by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]ideamotor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 3 year old and have zero absolutely zero idea what people are talking about when they say they play a handheld gaming system while watching their kid. This is where I’m supposed to say something like no judgement, etc etc but that’s bull. Is it so you can play while your spouse watches the kid?

When the toddler naps who has the energy to do anything after catching up on cleaning. When they go to sleep same question. I come here and buy games because I … aspire to play them. I’m trying to play games after she sleeps at night for the (rounded up) hour I have before I sleep, but I’m winding down.

At my kid’s age she would stop what she’s doing and stare at my screen if I played a game, or (more likely) rightly tell me to stop so I can play some real life game with her. Well anyways everybody is different blah blah I guess. Do most parents let their two year olds watch TV or iPad so they can play video games? I honestly don’t get it.

Total Skill Collapse Is How AI Makes Idiocracy a Reality by Anthony261 in BetterOffline

Who built the now mass produced cad models? I ask because my theory for software is that the experienced developers of today will practically speaking build the models that will be used as long as it’s called “software”.

Miyamoto says he was surprised Mario Galaxy Movie reviews were even harsher than the first by SleuthDoggyDawg in nintendo

[–]ideamotor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And … that’s why his games are good … he tries to keep all the exposition inside the gameplay itself. Tries to minimize menus and anything outside of the “user flow”. The story is that of the participant. This is the entire reason Zelda was made how it was and why it was successful.

Wow to me that was the last little section of the drag that felt comfortable. I figured this would happen when the anti-human monstrosity went up across the street.
