Exactly! Who the fuck is "Friday Everyday"? I tried to look up the web site on Wikipedia, and it doesn't exist. All I saw was their own self-description here:

FRIDAYEVERYDAY is the online arm of Friday Culture Ltd, a group of friends from Hong Kong who want to present our beloved city and country through the eyes of people who live here.

ROFL, wow, okay. Actual Chinese propaganda.

This is a defeatist and authoritarian position that the rich and powerful want you to have. They want to feel like you can't win, so that they vote behind you while you sit at home. Until eventually, they just dismantle democracy altogether and we go back to fiefdoms.

There is clearly one party that is more in line with the goals of fighting climate change than the other. Vote for that group. Vote for that group twice a year.

Medium.com. Shitty blog opinions. Name a more iconic duo!

Crowbcat (not Crowbar) specializes in highlighting these problems in games in a detailed way that no other review can. Yeah, it mostly just a montage of clips, but each set proves the main point more than just say "Well, this game is bad, blah, blah, blah" and talking for five minutes. Show, don't tell.

For example, his Back 4 Blood video proved his main point directly and pretty definitively with 30 minutes of evidence. Everybody else talked about how it was a bad game and sure that's fine. If you want a more traditional review, then go watch those. But, it's also useful to catalogue these instances as directly as possible in a comparative way. It was a single point, and it wasn't supposed to be some grand review of the game, but the point was backed up with evidence, which is more than I can say about some of these shitty bloggers that call themselves game journalists.

Is it insincere? No. The insincere thing to do is sit back and allow game companies to shit all over the consumer when they put out a half-baked product. There is nothing wrong with calling out their shit. Let me repeat that more directly:

There is nothing wrong with being outraged at a company trying to fuck over the consumer!

Frankly, I try to stay away from AAA gaming, because of shit like this. But, just because I don't play a lot of AAA games doesn't mean I'm going to write some shitty blog article that calls fighting the good fight "outrage journalism".

Exactly. This has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with UBI.

But, the rich and plebes alike will push AI as the Boogeyman as a distraction from the real enemy.

This is... a very specific kink.

Perhaps Lemmy should stop showing me old ass posts then. I hate "Active".

Level 5 cannot have geofencing like this system has.

What does he think he's going to solve with this AMA? The Reddit community has proven time and time again that they can smell bullshit a mile away, and have buried most admin posts with downvotes.

Why walk directly into a shitshow like this?

Can't believe this Russian plant is still on the forefront of British politics.

I'm really really surprised nobody else has hunkered down to learn how to crack Denuvo just to give this toxic shit the middle-finger. I mean, piracy groups are full of autistic weapons, and nobody has taken up the challenge?

If people knew how fucking easy it was to create different perfume/cologne scents and the markup for each scent, there would be riots in the streets. They can't even be regulated to put their ingredients on their bottles, because it would reveal the secret.

You don't need "rare whale vomit" to make a goddamn perfume.
