Or we could just vote third party and convince conservatives to vote third party as well?

Most everyone here is opposed to genocide.
Most everyone here is also voting for the Democrats, instead of agreeing to vote for a third party who is opposed to genocide

The elections will always be between "boring corporatist and 100% concentrated evil". Every election feels like it's the most important one. You just gotta suck it up and vote third party regardless.

No, they got what they wanted by bringing third party candidates to the discussion table so more people would vote third party in future elections.
One day we might even be able to elect a candidate who isn't the "lesser evil"

Yes it's the fault of people who voted for a third party. Not the people who didn't vote. Not Trump. Not Clinton. It's the people who voted for a third party candidate.
The duopoly got us here. Third party or bust.

There is nothing about MV3 that stops you from improving things.
... Yes there is? That's the point? MV3 doesn't allow dynamic list filtering, that's why those features don't exist on UBO

My friend has stage 3 cancer.
Her chemo killed her white blood cells.
If she gets sick, she dies.
She can't get a flu shot. She depends on people around her getting flu shots.
Please get the flu shot 🦆

We likely live in a simulation.
Assuming it's possible to create a simulation, the odds of us being in a simulation is 50%
But if you can create one simulation, maybe you can create 1 million. Or maybe you can create nested simulations.
So even if the chance of creating a simulation is 1%, but the creation of one simulation means millions are created, the odds of us living in a simulation are above 99.99%.
Another theory is the Boltzmann Brain. Basically the idea that a brain can spontaneously appear in space:
By one calculation, a Boltzmann brain would appear as a quantum fluctuation in the vacuum after a time interval of 10^10^50 years.
Which means if the universe lasts forever, but has already reached a point where worlds can't form, there's infinite time for something as complex as a brain to suddenly spawn. Which also means it's more likely that you don't exist and are just a brain that will last for a nanosecond before disappearing, and none of this is real. In fact, in a universe that lasts forever, the fact you are a brain that will disappear in a nanosecond is more likely than you being a human with a real past.

To further emphasize this, I had an assembly course in university. During my first lab, the instructor told us to add a comment explaining what every line of assembly code did, because if we didn't, we would forget what we wrote.
I listened to his advice, but one day I was in a rush, so I didn't leave comments. I swear, I looked away from the computer for like 2 minutes, looked back, and had no idea what I wrote. I basically had to redo my work.
It is not that much better than reading 1s and 0s. In fact in that course, we spent a lot of time converting 1s and 0s (by hand) to assembly and back. Got pretty good at it, would never even think of writing a game. I would literally rather create my own compiler and programming language than write a game in assembly.

I last logged into Reddit in 2022.
There's a lot of things missing - especially niche communities - but there's enough people to get into silly debates with and enough memes for me to scroll each day.

Hey blind folks on Lemmy! I'm an ex-mobile game dev, and noticed while searching today there's about 45 million fully blind people in the world, but I couldn't find much about games targeting blind folks. It seems like there's mods on existing games to assist blind people, but in my quick search there's no dedicated groups to making games for blind people as their top priority. I have a few questions: First, do you think lots of blind people would be interested in playing games? Think for like an hour or two a day. Second, what sort of games would be good for blind people? Are there any games you think would be fun if someone made it for you? Third, how would blind people like to play games? Would they prefer a phone with like one big button (i.e jump) with haptic feedback and sound, or would they prefer something like on a laptop and a screen reader? Forth, right now I'm thinking about making a competitive math game; you have one minute to answer as many questions as possible. I was planning on using audio/screen reader to output the question, but similar to the third question, I'm curious on what's the easiest way to input the answer.
Besides IdleOn, does anyone know of any?
Finally got around to it and been playing Godot for an hour. I've been following Brackey's [How to make a Video Game - Godot Beginner Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhfqjmasi0) and I'm about ~40 minutes in. First impressions: * Jesus christ that downloaded fast * Holy crap that opened fast * I love right out the gate it let me pick what renderer I want to use (alongside the pros and cons) UI: * The UI is a little bit confusing. Having the Script and 2D window be something at the top, but [to the right](https://i.imgur.com/83382Mz.png) of your traditional window dropdowns - is very jarring * Mousewheel is a weird default: Control-scroll moves up and down, while regular scroll zooms in and out. I believe this is the opposite of most programs * Modifying the collision points on TileSets was weird - I would modify one, then any new tile I click would get the new collision points, so I kept accidentally overwriting the collision points on tiles when I just wanted to select. But then I also couldn't copy a previous collision point.. so I had to like carefully plan out which tiles would have the same collision points because I couldn't copy them... I didn't want to get too specific on something minor, but that was frustrating. * Overall, the UI is still less cluttered than Unity, so despite being a bit unintuitive and having some frustrations, it's worse but not a showstopper "Let me make a game!" vibe: * For reference, my base point here is Flash, with ActionScript. The dead simplicity of that framework let developers pump out awesome games in under a week * Godot seems to have better support for 2D games than Unity. 2D feels "first class", and I'm not getting weird collider issues on corners like Unity does * When following a tutorial (that is only 4 months old), I already ran into cases of UI changes and deprecated features. That's a big issue with Unity, and not something I look forwards to in Godot * As far as vibe check goes, this one is also on par or slightly better than Unity ***** Overall Rating: Good enough My world has not been shaken - but I'll use Godot for my next game. First impressions have Godot's editor on-par with Unity, but the real win is it comes without the clown show that is Unity Technologies itself. For the first time in a while I'm excited to get back into making games, I just need to make the time 🙃
Been trying to play Factorio with my gf and cousin, who both use ARM Macbooks. Via [bitsearch](https://bitsearch.to/) I was able to find a couple Factorio torrents that include MacOS, but despite allegedly having seeders, I wasn't able to get the download to work (even with DHT enabled). Does anyone know where I can find a working download link? To be clear, every torrent I found didn't actually have seeders when I put it into the torrent client. At least a few years ago, I was able to a cracked Factorio MacOS version. (Windows version via Wine works on Linux, but not MacOS (even via Whisky). Installing Asahi is not an option, but an idea I entertained).
My main motivation was that it's the same director for `Crash Landing on You`, which is a drama that sits on a pedestal way ahead of 2nd or 3rd place. Pros: * Like `Flower of Evil`, you're forced to root for the bad guy * Some strong heart-string pulling scenes * Strong personality on the actors Cons: * Not depressing enough (Still cried, but it's not `Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo`) * OST has a lot of English lyrics * Can we have a good drama that's not about Chaebols? Neutral: * Plot was decent; not as good as Flower of Evil, but fun to follow along. The "seeds" in the plot were seldom deeply rooted, and often just seeding for one episode in advance at a time Verdict: If you like KDramas, I would recommend it. If you're not into KDramas and just want something to watch, in case its unclear, I'm a shill for [Crash Landing on You](https://www.google.com/search?q=dramacool+crash+landing+on+you+episode+1)
