politics @lemmy.world•Republicans urge the ignorant to ‘just say no’ to scienceEnglish
2·3 years agoIt can certainly be interpreted in a number of ways, but I think you’re missing a key element of the story. Humans gaining ‘knowledge of good and evil’ is the process of humans becoming self-aware. Rather than simply unselfconscously being what we are without judgement, we sort our behaviors into good and evil. Suddenly they know they’re naked, and the question they’re faced with isn’t ‘why do you care that you’re naked?’ but ‘who told you that you’re naked?’. Animals are naked too, but they’re not aware of it because they’re not hung up on the mortality of their own actions.
It’s not so much, to my reading, that there’s an active decision being made to kick them out as that they’re no longer capable of benefiting from it. Their self-consciousness itself prevents them from being able to continue to enjoy that primordial state of being before the need to second guess themselves.
It represents the loss of human innocence. It’s not that they did wrong and were punished, it’s that they came to view the world in a way that’s harsher.
Damn right, because I don’t pick up.

“I hate talking on the phone and won’t pick up, text me.” also often works.

2·3 years agoLol, no it isn’t. It’s some extremely niche shit that 90% of people know very little about.

4·3 years agoIt’s not reactionary to say that capitalism is bad. Capitalism is literally terrible. Not commerce, capitalism. Buying and selling things isn’t wrong, but extracting and consolidating surplus labor from the working class is.

Technology@lemmy.world•No love lost: AppLovin helpfully releases tool to switch from Unity to Godot or UnrealEnglish
1·3 years agoUnreal is safe now, but there are no guarantees under capitalism. A FOSS license does guarantee that enshittification won’t be a factor because it literally can’t become the exclusive property of some company with a greedy executive board. Unreal doesn’t have that protection, Godot does.
Could Godot be compromised some how? Sure. Can it be enshittified? Not really.

2·3 years agoThe thing is, this could change at any time. The problem with enshittification is that it spreads. A company that’s doing great work today could be bought out by corporate profiteers and leeched of its actual value at any point in the future. We’ve had plenty of companies that started out with a vision and a set of strong principles who’ve been reduced to predatory business practices that are bad for everyone. You can’t assume that because a company seems to have integrity now, that integrity will remain.
Remember Elon Musk 15 years ago? Wasn’t quite the same, was it?
To me, sitting in a position of getting started in game development, that makes me want to sink my time and effort into an engine that I know can’t be enshittified because it can’t be bought out. I want to know that in a few years I’m not going to completely scrub every asset and mechanic that I make for the engine because somebody’s pulled some Darth Vader shit.
Th s is hila ious. Wait, w t’ ap e i g? c n’t ead y r p st!

7·3 years agoBottom of the lake is pretty cheap iirc.
Are you here to repeat that nonsense about file transfer being lossy?
Literally every seeder is part of that archive. You can look at individual trackers in the microcosm as individual archives and indices, but it’s the culture of piracy that causes the wide scale collection and preservation of media.
We’re actually at this kind of interesting cross-generational point of guerilla archival where it’s become easier to find certain obscure pieces of media history. I suspect this is in large part due to things like bounties, where suddenly a forgotten VHS of a 35 year old HBO special that aired once or twice could be a step toward a higher rank and greater access to a wider range of media.
Modern piracy has a strong incentive toward finding lost material that’s no longer readily available. Zero day content is great, but have you seen the RADAR pilot or both seasons of AfterMASH?
They belong in a museum. Indie would be proud, even if Harrison wouldn’t. Not that I know his perspective on piracy.
Piracy is a pretty great backup system for everyone. You’re welcome.
I don’t really even trust Unreal until Unity takes a legal hit for this. What’s to stop Epic doing the same thing?
Considering how locked into an engine a project can get, why risk a corporate engine unless you absolutely have to?
The bucket is also increasingly full of bots and astroturfers. I think they’re doing a half decent job of hiding the impact when it comes to numbers, but the drop in quality sheds a little more light.


Literally just button remapping support for my MX Ergo.
And for the fool who always comes into these threads to tell me again that I must not have tried in several years, I tried last month. Talked to the Solaar dev, tried to reach out to Logitech, literally nothing to be done.
