Also capitalists for some reason: Without the threat of unemployment or a pay incentive noone would ever be motivated to wash their dishes

Efficiency should correlate with leisure

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

ReallyKinda ,

i are, I generally have to make about the corrections per message in order for it to even be legible

(left it in all its glory for you guys)

ReallyKinda ,

I agree, re-instate native governments.

ReallyKinda ,

I made a flow chart to work out my thoughts

ReallyKinda ,

Wtf, breaches aside why would a health care company be working with advert companies?

ReallyKinda ,

I haven’t played around with them, are the new models able to actually reason rather than just predictive text on steroids?

ReallyKinda ,

the crochet(?) veggies are adorable

Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts (www.nbcnews.com)

Data from two research firms and figures published by Musk and X suggest a deteriorating situation for X by some metrics. Musk has marketed it as the world’s “town square,” but in number of users it continues to lag far behind social media rivals that focus on video, such as Instagram and TikTok. ...

Oh no, how will people know if their opinions are right or wrong without our top most social ethicists?

ReallyKinda ,

At my first full time job my supervisor specified that I could hang up on anyone who brought up their lawyer, used abusive language, or brought up the BBB.

ReallyKinda OP ,

My hypothesis that democrats immediately leap to russian conspiracy rather than looking for actual reasons?

ReallyKinda OP ,

If anyone is interested in the actual reasons people give, you’re mostly out of luck because there is precious little research, neither of the major parties seem to care about this demographic, and neither do pollsters for the most part. Here’re the results of some research following the 2020 presidential (based on a fairly small sample).

Spoiler: It’s not because they don’t have time.

ReallyKinda OP ,

I made a meme claiming democrats call anyone who says they don’t vote a russian conspiracist, you gave a bunch of (likely incorrect, based on the real data) guesses about why people might not vote.

ReallyKinda OP ,

I think you’re arguing with ghosts, I’m honestly confused about what you’re trying to say and can’t keep track of all the assumptions you’re putting on the very little I said… I was truly trying to critique the fact that democrats specifically seem to jump to ‘Russian conspiracy’ very quickly when someone mentions they don’t believe in voting despite the fact that a large fraction of the population abstains from voting on a regular basis. You would think one would expect to run into a lot of true nonvoters given the statistics.

ReallyKinda OP ,

I’m on kbin so I only see upvotes:)

You can make fresh spinach last longer if you layer in some napkins/paper towels (something something moisture, I don’t really know the science).

This reminds me of when genetic researchers found that the human genome contains less genes than a tomato

ReallyKinda ,

I don’t like U2 either

This version is canon now

Our collective toilet thoughts are going to fuel the future of robot rhetoric guys

ReallyKinda ,

I already click right back out of websites that don’t make it easy to reject cookies or ask for an email. I certainly won’t be registering anywhere and will find other ways to get the information I need. At this point I am immediately turned off by anything that relies heavily on ad-revenue to exist anyway.

ReallyKinda ,

I do—I support a handful of creators (including some web content creators) directly via patreon, and donate to the important guys like wiki and craigslist. I don’t support any news organizations and am not sure how they’ll pivot.

ReallyKinda ,

That sounds about right to me, maybe throw in government supported and nonprofits

ReallyKinda OP ,

Anarchism isn’t a cohesive project (though most agree on some basic tenets) so it’s actually cool google gave that rather accurate response.

One reason I hear quite a bit is that most democratic political systems (theoretically at least) are designed so that voting gives a mandate to rulers. A sort of signal of consent and support of its actions. Here’s a paper on it if you’re bored and interested:

ReallyKinda OP ,

If you felt like being a bit more charitable then you might assume a stance such as mine doesn’t derive from losing 10 minutes—kind of a weird assumption given the content of the image?

What about the fact that this particular state project can draw a continuous line to one of the most brutal forms of slavery in recorded history which still largely determines the distribution of wealth and power (through inheritance and lobbyist groups), it may have singlehandedly destroyed the environment for all of humanity in less than 300 years, it wiped out an entire continent of cultures and continues to fund genocides and other conquests (with your money/labour) today. At what point would you put your foot down? I must have a lower threshold than that.

ReallyKinda ,

I make loose leaf tea in a nespresso, what am I?

ReallyKinda OP ,

Conquest of bread predates the USSR but I suspect Kropotkin wouldn’t be a fan

ReallyKinda OP ,

Is there an ending that doesn’t involve people starving? Maybe a post-food-scarcity one?

Ideas for setting up a media server compatible with xbox viewing? (kbin.social)

I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software) and have been ingesting TV shows, games, and movies primarily from an xbox using various paid streaming apps for like 15 years. As streaming costs go up I’ve wanted to set up a media server compatible with playing stuff from the xbox and have had some friends suggest Plex so...

ReallyKinda OP ,

The only part I feel confident with right now is safely obtaining the media. I’m fine with that step being manual.

ReallyKinda ,

I mean I have not researched but I tried pretty hard to jump off the ground and will myself up so I could fly like my dreams and I think that counts.

EDIT: Fake screenshot about some facts from the Palworld development, very loosely based on a really interesting blog post from the dev that's linked in the post body. (programming.dev)

UPDATE: So, apparently it's mostly fake, taken from this article [translation] (where they even mention some kind of VCS)....

ReallyKinda ,

As a craftopia player palworld definitely feels like a bit of a reskin, but one that gives players a lot of what they wanted (mainly being able to explore freely in multiplayer mode which is severely limited in craftopia).

One element palworld leaves out is being able to create your own automated processes (like automating a farm with a series of conveyer belts, chests, and various machines). They say they’re still planning to develop craftopia so I am pretty excited to get the elegance of the pal world pets (which craftopia had too, but not as shiny) and the fun of automating your own homestead instead of setting up prefab stations.

ReallyKinda ,

Idk craftopia has a pretty committed fan base and combined with being free on gamepass I’m not surprised at the buzz. Very curious to know the gamepass player #’s compared to steam. I wouldn’t be surprised if microsoft has done some promotional stuff for free though (to promote gamepass).

ReallyKinda ,

I am much more comfortable using self checkout
