SWIFT is a European cooperative and its headquarters is located in Belgium! I don’t know where you even got the idea that this could be an American company.

Also, all of Europe is covered by Giro Payment. Credit cards do exist and are usually supported, but almost no one uses them domestically.

Edit: Another interesting note about ICANN. The US government has not had direct control over ICANN since 2016 due to its importance for global communications. The US government has no power to censor any of the namespace resolving outside its own borders and if they were to try, this would give a lot of states a very strong argument for the already existing calls to remove ICANN entirely from US jurisdiction.

While true, “we did fucking nothing” is also entirely true. The vast majority of humans don’t give a shit about the environment. No matter their wealth and power. It’s only a lot more noticable and harmful when Jeff Bezos flies to space. But let’s be real here. If average Joe White (43) had the means to fly to space, he would do so without a second thought of the environment!

We’re dealing with a pandemic of selfish assholes and one of its symptoms are selfish billionaires who destroy in seconds what a few thousand conservationists achieved in a year!

I am 14 and this is deep kind of shit…

They were talking about the downsides of treatment via 2000 °C.

Have you considered, that the vast majority of gamers are not COD kiddies? I’d love to play Elden Ring, Minecraft, Skyrim or Satisfactory on my TV, while cuddling with my gf.

And the best part? You get an arch install that doesn’t randomly break because you haven’t paid enough attention during the last pacman update! I seriously expect Valve to understand that pacnew files and mandatory forum readups are not a good concept for OS maintenance.

Writing this from my phone because the last update probably removed the encrypt hook from my initframes. God, I love using linux!

Lol, what are you talking about? Most of the german nuclear power plants were built before 1980 and would not have met modern safety and operational requirements. Only three can be considered “perfectly fine and working”, but tbh. even the owners don’t know whether they would have passed the mandatory inspections in 2019 and 2039.

One of those is not like the others. There’s no future for nuclear energy. It’s an outdated, expensive, fossile fuel just like coal and gas and Germany is doing well in phasing it out!

• Nuclear is the most expensive energy form
• It’s only green if you ignore several key factors like water usage for cooling, dirty mining operations and long transport routes
• Its a maintenance nightmare especially compared to distributed power production like solar and wind
• Nuclear fuel recycling is as big a lie as plastics recycling
• Fusion remains a pipe dream even after almost 100 years of continuous research and funding

Nuclear wins in one metric though: Space efficiency per kwh! Although it’s debatable how important that really is when we can use solar panels to provide shaded parking and place wind turbines on the open sea where there’s plenty of space…

In the civilised world (Aka everywhere but the US), it is!

Or Manjaro. Arch purist weeaboos hate it, but it’s made in Germany, is amazing for gaming and has very fast driver updates. Additionaly, the installation is super simple and fast.

I would love to play this game, but the lack of a FOV option makes it entirely unplayable. I tried several times and within minutes I’m at the point of almost throwing up. I’ve never encountered another game with a FOV this bad, it’s pathetic!

That entire statement is a lie. Antivaxers and other conspiracy nuts are just as tiny a minority as the Lemmy bubble. If you want to discredit the “normies”, at least use arguments that are actually true.

Another case of Lemmy users angrily downvoting because they don’t understand how the world works. These are exactly the questions that need to be asked.

Right now, I could slap the label “AI free” on my completely AI generated game and just claim that I interprete it as "the game doesn’t use gen AI while running.

The Boys gets worse with every season.

The Critical Role stuff has very little involvement on Amazons side.

Good Omens was actually good. No complaints there.

I completely disagree. Difficulty is not an accessibility option. It’s a cheap way out of fixing more complex problems, but ultimately easier difficulty just means that you won’t have to interact with the game as much to get through it. No problem if the parrying lacks clear indications when you can just take the very weak hits from the enemies instead of learning the parry system.

But for most games, it doesn’t really impact anyone if you add a difficulty slider, so game developers just do that instead of dealing with accessibility issues in their core systems.

And then there’s the souls games. These games would become objectively worse by adding a difficulty option. When overcoming impossible odds is the core principle of the game, then adding a slider to make the odds mildly inconvenient instead of impossible will actively jeopardize that very principle!

In fact there are countless stories of people with severe disabilities who found new hope in clawing through the souls games. They let go of their learned helplessness precisely because they realized that what their playing is hard and failing over and over again is an important part of the process.

That being said, the souls games do deserve some criticism in some aspects regarding accessibility. There’s a lot in the UI and feedback department that could be done to improve accessibility without having a negative impact on the game itself.

And as a last point, there are plenty of ways in which you can tweak several difficulty aspects of the souls games. Mavic is way easier than heavy strength builds which is way easier than dex builds. So, if you just want to go sight seeing, then why not use cheats and magic?

Especially the conveniently placed spike frames everywhere. I love it!

Yeah, a choice between being down due to cloudflare outage once a year or all the time due to DDOS attacks.

Gender reveal parties are weird. But what’s even weirder is people on the internet going mental because parents inform their loved ones of the child’s gender with 97% accuracy.

Finally, an arch distro where there’s a chance for some actual support and without a community that consists entirely of basement dwelling, self-righteous wankers, who have never learned social human interaction!

Seriously, Manjaro is kind of bad, but every time I’m tempted to install Arch, it takes minutes on the forums to convince me what a horrible idea that would be.

I guess Light No Fire has a good chance of becoming such a game. It’s gonna be No Mans Sky, but on one earth sized fantasy planet. I don’t think it will have large cities though. 🤔

Open source and source available are not and cannot be used interchangeably. They mean two extremely different things!
