  • I usually love even really dark jokes… but I can assure you, when I was in the hospital for cancer and currently bleeding out of all holes the body has (during the nadir, my thrombocytes were simply gone - and me too without receiving multiple blood donations) I would've not appreciated this in the slightest. Not like I would've had enough strength to complain, but I can see my family throwing fists in this special case. And helping me file a lawsuit.

    People in such situations all eventually have a suicidal thought (incl. just rejecting any further treatment, which can be absolute horror). Hope can make the difference between you and your body pushing through or giving up. That asshole isn't helping.

  • sigh Yeah sure, scientists surely said that like this…

    I keep wondering how those Journalists from Daily Mail, Fox News, Bild etc. can look into the mirror each morning without punching themselves.

  • And of course they're exploited workers in "third world" countries where poverty may be life-threatening (not talking about the US this time), so nobody can realistically fight back.

    Capitalism is a bitch.

  • I mean, what's the alternative aside from spinning up a MariaDB for your small local app? I can still remember the swamp of .ini files some older programs used for this or the totally overblown Windows Registry. Not a good time.

  • You should watch less Fox News.

    Thank you for your attention.

  • What you describe is being used by now. The permanent eye-tracking got low-level support on Snapdragon SoCs by 2023 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, "Sensing Hub"), the Honor Magic 6 phone advertised itself as able to "open apps by looking at them"; those desperate fucks really tried to sell this as a good thing to users. Though even this article eventually spilled the beans:

    "Content Personalization: Adapt news feeds based on the focus and duration of your gaze."

    They want you to think this is a good thing, but it's clearly dystopian. And already 3 years old, so by now they certainly found even more ways to make everyone miserable & manipulated.

    The Google Assistant famously still listened to the microphone and uploaded data even if you tried to stop it, so I genuinely always recommend everyone to either flash your phone with GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS or iodéOS immediately or throw it away. Modern mainline phones are a health hazard.

  • Nobody said you shouldn't act responsible within your abilities, just that the system won't be repaired by individuals consuming differently in any way (Big corpos would just adapt to extract your money in a new way). Consumers can't do jack shit about the greater economical structures at play except voting, and, well… apparently that also doesn't do enough.

    Blaming consumers and everyones habits is quite literally propaganda of oil companies.

  • That's not for sticking it in… you know what, go for it. Lemmy needs its own series of cursed stories.

  • I've never seen the tank being mounted this weirdly. Must be the landlord special in some old-ass building, probably in a teeny tiny bathroom?

  • As long as they're not routed through main commute hubs. Where I live (near a major german city, so there indeed is at least something) all the bus connections to the closest subway station of the city are routed over a small portion of a major street. That alone causes massive delays every morning and often also in the evening when everyone pours in- and out of the city in their gas guzzlers.

    I'm very much for having waaay more (semi-subway) trains even in rural areas. Even if it's just small ones that never exceed 50kmh or something, having a trustworthy schedule would be worth it. Connect every milk can! (After giving it 5G)

  • Exactly.

    Food, shelter, health, social interactions, mobility, now "intelligence" (well, a bad simulation of it). EVERYTHING has been capitalised. To believe anyone could change shit by just "consuming differently" is very much stuck in the same ideology that created this disaster.

  • Hard disagree. But feel free to tell me how your attempt of stopping to fund all of that goes, surely you know how to do that without joining the Amish and being on the run from your countries' tax agency.

    You can't even realistically avoid Nestlé and all its smaller brands (way too many). Stop blame the fucking people for the mess of the different power structures we were all born in, it's nobodies fault but those in charge of those systems. Which is not us, systemically. Nobody is "funding" this crap, everyone's forced into it. Welcome to fucking capitalism.

  • This reminds me why I love the NieR series so much. Ultimately throws away the concept of pre-defined "protagonist" and "antagonist" and screws over the player's emotions with the conflict itself instead.

    Ah damn, you're empathising with someone you're not supposed to? Everyone has understandable or even good reasons for their actions? Your "protagonist" reasons might not even the best of them?

    How's this even a novel concept in writing, I don't get it…

  • A healthy social / family system would distribute that burden to more people, but for some reason our broken western christian idea was to atomise society so everyone's far away from each other (and feels alone), then force the two parents to both have to work (if there are two) while also making commercial help (Nanny) unaffordable for most people. More than two of course is forbidden.

    There'd always be time for stuff if e.g. just three couples from a family lived under a roof / next to eath other (e.g. grandparents, parents, cousin). Just a garbage culture that builds shitty homes with zero incentive or help to live close together, shitty infrastructure and has shitty ideas about the "nuclear family". It's not the child.

  • I have a GameSir G4 and it's trash, utterly awful input lag and the connection never worked correctly with any device other than Android either. Basically unusable without a cable, I'd never recommend their stuff.

  • I think the money aspect is a big one with this. Someone with a Steam Deck and/or Switch doesn't see the need (well, Switch maybe unless it's jailbroken), but if you just want something and money is tight then a new 50€ controller and your existing phone gets you way further.

  • There are a few really good gamepads (or smartphone holders for e.g. Dualshock).

    Taking a premium phone from a few years ago and slapping a controller on it genuinely makes an awesome mobile console. And inbetween all the garbage there even are a few really good native games, such as the remastered GTA Trilogy.

  • The quality is good, I give that to them. But their pricing, ownership model and especially opinion about copyright is abysmal (weren't they the ones trying to patent relative motion?). Nintendo has some genuinely good artists and engineers who clearly love their job but they take the carrot-and-stick approach to the extreme and it's disgusting.
