if it’s a computer, it can be hacked

if it’s connected to the internet, it doubly can be hacked!

that’s right! she can simply turn off her phone, and go to school where the boys oh no they’re the same boys aren’t they. oh well, good things school aren’t known for harassment, bullying, and girls not being taken seriously by staff!

any socialist society will be inherently disadvantaged by the fact that the global hegemon, the USA, is hellbent on destroying them. so, given that, maybe the soviet union? china? they certainly aren’t perfect, soviet union especially, but any future socialist project can (and should) learn from their successes and mistakes

it’s almost like she’s a woman and not a man and she sees things from the woman’s perspective.

yeah right, how dare she!!! the audacity of females these days, talking about their problems. unbelievable!!!

you’re no better than the shitheads this article is about. fuck you and your “both sides” nonsense.

educating men and boys, and actually moderating misogyny (and other bigotries) would be a good start, how many reports of horrific posts end up with “after careful examination by our moderation team, we have found that this post does not violate our community guidelines…”

holy shit these comments

lemmy users stop being individualist-brained, victim-blaming misogynists challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

you don’t stop misogyny by just ignoring it you twats, and hot take, mainstream social media being filled with nothing but privileged assholes being bigots (because all the good people were told to just go somewhere else 😇) is not good, actually!

good thing these men don’t exist outside of social media! whew, we dodged a big one there…

and i sure hope this school girl doesn’t go to any place regularly where she sees these teenage boys, oh wouldn’t that be unfortunate???

the fact that they picked a woman of color to be the new lead of xbox lmao. least obvious glass cliff

anyways play cassette beasts instead

everything about this release is ridiculous

20$ is way too expensive for what it is, it should honestly be 10/15$ at most
why just fire red/leaf green? why not other pokémon games? ruby, sapphire, emerald, these have never been rereleased!
why are all language versions separate purchases??? you couldn’t be arsed to bundle them?
the only new feature of this release, and really the only reason one might want to use this version instead of emulating on another platform, pokémon home compatibility, is not available at launch and will be added later. come on.

be gay do crime etc etc

it may even be a selling point depending on how you look at it

a phone that’s painful to use is a phone that you won’t feel incentivized to doomscroll on 😁👍

j’vois pas tellement l’intérêt, honnêtement

le P est iconique et compris par à peu près tout le monde, et remplacer des panneaux ça peut coûter cher, alors pour si peu franchement c’est une perte de temps et d’argent

on aurait peut-être dû utiliser un S au lieu du P au début (ou encore mieux, utiliser un symbole qui peut être compris peu importe quelle langue tu parles) mais ast’heure c’est trop tard je trouve

they fixed this in today’s snapshot, baby zombies can once again fit through 1 block gaps lol

fedora KDE has been pretty painless for me, and if you want something that’s still ubuntu based, kubuntu looks good too

i didn’t have any paywall, maybe it’s a regional thing? here’s a version that shouldn’t have it.

anyways, here’s a screenshot of the Relooted review i talked about. if you check the game’s negative reviews and sort by most pertinent, it’s the 3rd one. it was here yesterday, and despite me reporting it, it’s still here today, and in fact has been here since february 11th. as time of writing, it has 373 people who found it useful, and 115 who found it funny. some of the comments under that review are critical, but most just say “based” and the like.

it’s an anecdotal evidence, but as you said, “you can find articles and reddit posts claiming this same exact thing going back years”, doesn’t that mean it’s a recurring problem?

as the article mentions, if you’d bothered to read it, steam rarely enforces their guidelines, which is the problem here

for a more recent example, the negative reviews under Relooted are fucking sickening. one of the top ones is a joke making fun of George Floyd’s death.

what does steam do? nothing. valve is one of the most profitable companies per employee out there, and they have no pressure from investors to botch their work, they could absolutely moderate.

they actively choose not to, because despite what bootlickers on lemmy would have you believe, gabe newell is a libertarian dipshit who values “free speech” over the safety of marginalized people.

i disagree with you on the ethicalness of emulating current gen games, personally i think there’s nothing wrong with it, but regardless:

emulators for retro hardware often get their start while the console is still in production. for example, gamecube games nowadays are pretty expensive, so if you want to play them without breaking bank you’ll have to use an emulator, and the most mature by far is dolphin.

dolphin started being developed in 2003, while the gamecube was still the most recent nintendo console, and it grew from there. if dolphin started development in 2017, when nintendo discontinued the last console that could play wii & GC games natively, it would no doubt be far less capable today.

same goes for 3DS emulators like azahar, who descend from citra, which started development when the 3DS was recent.

nintendo here is not going after pirates, or even people who play legally backed up games, they’re going after emulator developers. even if it was unethical to emulate the switch now, stopping switch emulator development will ensure that switch emulation won’t be as good as it could be when it would stop being unethical.

in other words, it’s killing game preservation, or at least hampering it. that’s not good, even if you think piracy is unethical.

i get not wanting to call x by its old name (because people who do that sometimes do it to ignore what it has become), but don’t call this “deadnaming” please. it trivializes deadnaming and what it does.

corporations are not people, they don’t get to have deadnames.
