A lot of it isn’t an “insistence” per se as much as it’s company founders who did have some kind of connection with the product the company makes dying or retiring and getting replaced with people who don’t.

Ironically, the MBA was originally created as a way for people with degrees in more “boots on the ground” positions to learn about business so they could more easily move into management positions. What it’s morphed into is unfortunate.

Unironically could be great for Linux tablet users…is there any?

The teachers union is most likely part of the opposition to the current regime, which hates both education and unions

They were there before all that, and network effect.

I really don’t think that the prude left is as un-prevalent as this comment wants to portray. They get what they want quite a bit in the UK and Australia (often by finding allies with the prude right tbf,) and even outside of that, they’re not particularly hard to find, and perception matters. And to someone with no strong political convictions, they could easily see a ton of leftists advocating censorship of some boobs in some game and take that at face value as “leftists are prudes.” I can’t even say it’s unjustified, Trump has tons of policies that I was told not to worry about because they were fringe. They’re more serious than boobs in video games, but the principle still applies.

And to be honest, I really do think a visible amount of people on the left really are uncomfortable with depictions of sexuality and even just romance appealing to straight men. It’s like, a sizeable amount of people on the left have this strong fear of anything giving men “unrealistic expectations.” And sometimes it’s not ecchi booby gags, sometimes it’s shit like “women having common interests with you,” as if not being heteropessimistic is now misogynistic.

And you can say “block anything related to that,” but I don’t want to stop hearing about it entirely. Just not the only topics.

And even on the few active subs that aren’t Trump or Linux, there’s a lot of commenters that can’t shut up about Trump or Linux, particularly ones that think you’re a bad person if you ever stop talking about Trump.

I feel like people’s perception of what “open world” means has drifted. I see people claim that GTA isn’t open world because it has linear progression, or games where the world isn’t particularly big aren’t open world. Like, they think BOTW defines what “open world” means.

Do you have a seamless, interconnected world that is the primary place the game takes place? Open world.

I would bluntly state that Metroidvanias are open world, and also aren’t the only open world games that have been around since the NES.

For me, music production is my reason for being on Windows. Gaming I could do on Linux, but there’s nothing to drum up the interest in in fixing music prod on Linux that there was for gaming.

I know Quake was originally planned as an RPG, and became an FPS because they had to ship “something” and they knew how to do FPS

Minecraft is something that had proven to be perennial by the time the movie was announced at least (it was in development hell too.) Labubus are blatantly a fad.

I just did a new build with DDR4 because I was panicked about rising costs, and I don’t think the Ryzen 7 5800X counts as low end, or at least it didn’t when it was new. You’re probably right about it being old stock though, and none of this is relevant to laptops.

Just give me DDR4 then.

You seem to think that having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but I strongly disagree.

In terms of population I don’t think having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but “adversary” is a geopolitical term.

On the stage of geopolitics, the current US government acts in favor of Russia.

Is Russia even a US adversary anymore?

My personal answer is that people, particularly left-of-center folk from other Western countries, want us to feel like it’s our fault. The way they talk about us.

I don’t truly believe it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t internalize it.

The average Lemmite is the kind of person that thinks you shouldn’t be allowed to ignore politics

Most of Lemmy is the left wing equivalent of this guy.

As someone who’s in a similar position…I like the technology and the idea of booting tech billionaires. I don’t like how the userbase here is so monolithic, and this comment section makes me think people here like that this platform is a circlejerk.

Same thing that happened to the 2 dollar bill right? Still usable as currency but no longer made.

do you think this post is serious
