‘I Know I’m Not a Young Man’: Biden Confronts Doubts During Forceful Rally
  • We all do, Joe. That doesn't really change anything.

  • Trump–Biden Debate Conspiracies Have Already Flooded the Internet
  • Event happens.

    Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.

    News reports that there are conspiracies about Event.

    Rinse and repeat. "Event" can be virtually anything of public note.

  • ‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’
  • The problem with that isn't Bernie. The problem is Trump. Bernie splitting the Dem vote is a more sure-fire way to get Trump than Biden running as it is.

  • ‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’
  • Remember when a huge coalition of people wanted RBG to retire? And then she didn't, and those people took it as courage or some such other virtue?

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • Aha, I didn't know that. Thanks for the explanation! I'm going to edit my comment above to point to it.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • Ad supported = not free. Please better understand the world you live in.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • I'm a bit confused. Do deaf people listen to music? Lyrics are generally freely available via Google.

    Edit: see reply for a good explanation.

  • DC Campaign to Submit Over 40K Signatures for Open Primaries, Ranked Choice Voting
  • some people here on Lemmy get upset at any mention of Ranked Choice Voting and respond that, in their opinion, it's not perfect

    To those people, I say: do not let perfection be the enemy of progress.

    Also, it's absurd, because it's clearly better than what we have now. I suspect many of those people are trolls.

  • Oklahoma schools head Ryan Walters: Teachers who won't teach Bible could lose license
  • I'd love to see parents flabbergasted by their children refusing the shellfish daddy worked hard to buy, and making sure their clothes don't use mixed fabrics.

  • 7900XTX (Playstation 2 for scale)
  • I've been using one of these 4U server chassis. Of course it is in a rack with some other equipment. I've been quite happy with it; lots of space.

  • Oh Joe...
  • I thought Biden did alright

    He just didn't. In any other previous cycle, it would not have been considered acceptable. The bar has gotten very low.

    Biden looked senile, and Trump looked like regular, crazy Trump. The senility will do more for voters than Trump being Trump.

  • 7900XTX (Playstation 2 for scale)
  • I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.

  • Jury rules NFL must pay more than $4 billion to 'Sunday Ticket' subscribers
  • Right, so if my team is on TNF, then I can't watch it on network TV like the claim says

  • Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete
  • It's almost like all these CEOs and MBAs are just shooting in the dark because of the $$$ in their eyes, but the fact remains that the market is no longer responding favorably to their absolute need for year-over-year growth.

  • Jury rules NFL must pay more than $4 billion to 'Sunday Ticket' subscribers
  • our media distribution strategy, which features all NFL games broadcast on free over-the-air television in the markets of the participating teams and national distribution of our most popular games,

    I don't even understand this. I missed at least one game last year because it was exclusive to Prime. Maybe I'm misreading it.

  • FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phones
  • I have not bought a phone through my carrier for probably around 10 years. I always buy something factory unlocked, often a LatAm model, and drop my SIM in. GSM was designed with that kind of freedom in mind.

    It doesn't surprise me how much hardware costs are tied to (and inflated by) subscription plans in the US, though.

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • ...I don't think we disagree, and it doesn't really matter about the filter. All points valid.

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • Regardless of the filters used in photographs, taking over a narrative like this is one of the oldest tricks in the book. If every photo has AI in it, then everyone is already complacent and should support the rich pushing more and more AI.

    Easter totally isn't named after Ēostre, it's the day Jesus rose from the dead.

  • Out of everything, I really want to see my helmet in first person

    I know a lot of people hate this kind of feature, but there are significant reasons why I think it would make Starfield better.

    If I'm not wearing one and I leave my ship, I start taking damage if the planet is dangerous. The only way around that is to be in 3rd person while in the ship (aside from the workaround below). There isn't any indication anywhere as to whether or not you are in a spacesuit, besides your menu and 3rd person view. There is no way to know while maintaining immersion.

    Bethesda's workaround is to auto-hide spacesuits and helmets in atmo. This sucks, because I personally like tailoring the look of my character to the environment. But more importantly, I want to know that I am wearing a pressure suit if I'm out in a dangerous environment. I don't want it to feel like I'm a freecam wandering around -- I want to feel like I'm slogging along in a freaking spacesuit.

    What's really strange is: if you put on the broken Constellation helmet, you can see the tape piece from the inside. It has an overlay! Sadly this works for no other helmet. Did they just abandon making the textures?

    A similar annoyance with a related system: the quick menu does not unequip items. This would make it super easy to change between a spacesuit and regular outfit and not deal with more menus.

    I figure there will be a mod at least for helmet overlays eventually, but damn is it frustrating that they definitely thought about it and only implemented it for a piece of masking tape.
