At this point I scowel at any game with higher minimum hardware requirements than fallout 4. Like, come on, did you really need all that shit?

These companies are controlled almost entirely by people who only really care about what the stock price will be sometime in the next few years or so.

Oh my God 2019 is almost 7 years ago. That’s insane.

Anyway, my point was ever since you uploaded it, it has been on the Internet for anyone to grab. Even before this, anyone competent enough to train an AI or host a competing music service would have been able to download it in the same way that these people did. The only difference is that now there’s a copy being preserved that’s not under the control of an evil corporation.

You have the right to feel any way you want about that, and you’re entirely justified in being uncomfortable with how carelessly it may seem your hard work is being spread around and copied, but personally I think it’s a good thing with very little drawback since it just makes it easier to do something that was already well within the abilities of the entities you’re worried about.

Oh wow, thanks for going and checking for me. Good luck out there friend.

I don’t think it was a good idea to upload it to Spotify then.

We’re making the frickin aliens trans

Huh, weird. Where can I find the writings?

C’mon you gotta say why im curious

I tried to run this so many times and it just gave me a blank screen. Can anyone confirm that they got it running?

I browse with invidious and just download whatever videos I want to watch with yt-dlp

82 + 12 is 94

Wowie.

My argument is that summer is relatively terrible specifically in our current circumstances. For most of history, I would absolutely agree with you. But now we have all kinds of heaters and blankets and clothes designed with incredibly complicated materials to insulate us. There’s like 62 million ways keep warm, like 3 ways to keep cold (air conditionerand, touch cold thing, or take off clothes) then factor in global warming and obesity rates rising. It’s almost enough to forget that for most of history winter is when people starved and froze to death meanwhile summer was a time of wonderful abundance.

I think the best solution would be to have general instances that are vulnerable to bots, and then also instances with stricter measures just like we have right now. Before you take someone seriously, look at their instance to see if they may be a bot. If the instance is reputable, you can be safe in taking them seriously. It’s like blue check marks used to be.

sigh

I’ve found the equation that can calculate anything in the universe. A = f(x), where f(x) is the equation for the specific thing you want to calculate, you just have to put it in.

For-profit will never be for you.

It’s absolutely true that China’s economic growth and the effectiveness of the government’s COVID response is a factor, but my point was that the government has an enormous ability to influence the population. Of course the government you live under is going to have an advantage when it comes to having your approval. I’ve tried to make a point that being almost universally approved by the people that live under it is not an objective measure of morality or the amount of good it does, just popularity, and popular things aren’t always moral or good. I would also add that these numbers could simply be fudged, but I don’t know enough about the source to say that for certain and I knew you definitely wouldn’t believe it if it was true anyway.

But from how these responses are worded, I’m guessing that no matter what I say you’re just gonna stick with this narrative and let your brain decide that any information you take in is either in support of what you believe or a lie. I’m gonna go now.

Edit: after re-reading your earlier comment im actually curious about where you got that image of a graph. I know you said where it was from, but you never provided a link or the name of what it was from. That’s kind of bad form, you gotta properly cite your sources. Can you reply with it because I’m actually trying to learn more about China (cause, yk, they’re becoming kinda important) and also I think it would be funny if you were lying about the data and refused to link it

Are you going to address my actual point or just accuse me of not understanding kindergarten level math?

What a country thinks of its own government is not a good metric for how that government is actually doing. Quite a bit of disapproval shows significant cracks in unity, but significant approval just shows that people believe in their government. National pride was also pretty high when the United States was (it still is but I’m referring to when national pride was high) going around committing war crimes against any small nation that leaned communist and domestic terrorism against its own people in the 20th century.

And almost half of America approves of trump, what’s your point?
