TheFriar@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•The Last of Us Complete hits PS5 today, physical Collector’s Edition coming JulyEnglish7·4 days agolol what’s not good about the last of us 2? It’s an excellent story, really engaging gameplay, great storytelling, it’s evocative, gorgeous, gruesome, poignant, sad as hell, has tons of depth, great characters, cohesive and interesting themes, great sound, voice acting…you really can’t ask for much more from a game.
TheFriar@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•World must act with urgency to save Palestinians in Gaza, top UN officials sayEnglish101·4 days agoOh well I didn’t know the UN was antisemitic!
(This has been an ironic display of the absurdity of such arguments used against people who speak out for the lives of innocent Palestinians. Currently these tactics are being used by countries and organizations across the imperial world.)
TheFriar@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Black Mirror’s pessimism porn won’t lead us to a better future | Louis AnslowEnglish10·5 days agoThat’s a relatively new phenomenon. All tech media was positive and the stuff of dreams until around the 2010s. Because we were seeing a steady and noticeable shift in the power dynamics. We were being pulled deeper under a capitalist nightmare instead of flying in a techno futuristic dreamscape. We couldn’t see anything but the piling negative aspects of our technology: it’s killing us, it’s enslaving us, its being used to spy on us, we’re being told it’s a wonder but we keep finding out it’s a horror. This isn’t on us for not being enlightened enough to see asimov’s words. We’re too aware of the active manipulation and torture. They made us the product, and they made the things we bought spy machines and tools of manipulation and deception.
We need to create better, freer tech, free from the oligarchs currently wringing us all dry while they build their multimillion dollar doomsday bunkers with the money they’re stealing from us if we are going to build the better world in which the better half of humanity succeeds. Art imitates life. And currently they’re outsourcing art to the oligarchs machines that are 10000x worse for the planet and the power dynamics.

TheFriar@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Trump raises tariffs on China to 125% but announces 90-day pause for other countries – business liveEnglish3·6 days agoTo add to that chaos, the announcement that there was a 90 day pause was not even true. It was tweeted by Steven Bloomberg or something and markets rebounded because it spread all over Twitter and outlets started reporting it, but he never said it so they sank. Did he actually end up announcing a 90 day pause now? So now they’re back up? The fuck?

TheFriar@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of powerEnglish161·16 days agoIf you don’t mind my asking, how do you not have a moral objection to using AI? With everything we know about it, the theft, the benefit to the technocrats, the environmental toll, I could not bring myself to wave away those issues. Not to mention the power imbalance of this tech being controlled by the ruling class, looking to eliminate people’s livelihoods for the sake of profit. What do you use it for? I feel like we should be boycotting them en masse.
TheFriar@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk sells X to his own xAI for $33 billion in all-stock dealEnglish15·17 days agoHe’s an egotist and a man child, while also being the richest man in the world. All he has to do is say he wants something and people have to do it. He doesn’t have to “do” anything to be fully influencing what happens. Look at Twitter, look at the federal government. Sycophants surround these assholes and basically have to bend the knee and do what they say. When capital equals power, this is what happens. Just like when blood line meant power, the kings didn’t “do” anything. But the people who took their orders from them did.
TheFriar@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•'Admit you're Hamas or we'll send a drone to kill your family'English11·18 days agoIf that’s what you think, extend the thought experiment. Say you get what you want, Israel stops existing tomorrow. What happens to everyone there?
TheFriar@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•'Admit you're Hamas or we'll send a drone to kill your family'English23·18 days agoTheoretically, of course I agree with you.
But saying an existing country has no right to exist, while discussing the very real problems of said country, while said country does, in fact, exist, is treading on incredibly dangerous, straight up genocidal ground.
How can you guys not see the problems inherent in that, while half of the people are arguing against the existence of fucking nuance? You all can’t be that dense.
