Right-wing economic politics are completely incompatible with a world where AI/Robots start taking vast swathes of jobs. In the face of this, right-wingers either have to admit they were wrong or double down on mental gymnastics.

Given most people drawn to right wing ideology have fragile egos, it's nearly always going to be the latter and so what they say is going to appear increasingly absurd and contradictory

Being comfortable with algebra is kinda essential, however you probably won't make much use of calculus unless you go into certain parts of the industry such as game development.

Practice makes perfect though, you may suck at maths today, but there's nothing stopping you from getting better at it if you work at it

I disagree, Europe needs to never cede Ukraine at any cost—anything else is rewarding the warmonger

This is related to my personal peeve with some Taxi drivers.

Why are you out there silently driving with the radio off? It's awkward as hell when the loudest noise in the car is breathing

Once again, Orban says exactly what Putin wants him to say

At some point it becomes malicious to even print what he says

If a country is actively invading another we usually don't permit them in international sporting events.

The fans should never have been there, they should never have been welcome until the war is over.

Ikr, people clearly have short memories.

I'm sorry that people don't like it, but it is what it is; denial of this only helps the fuckos using it that way

I've just replied to you elsewhere, but dude

This is not censorship

This is one regular person telling another regular person that they might accidentally be doing something racists do as a shibboleth

I didn't come up with this, they did

I would love this to not be the case, but it's just naïve to ignore the reality of the shitheads that are out there

Their whole thing is existing in the grey area between harmony and incongruity

The big win for GeForce NOW was you could fire up games from your steam library—you didn't need to directly invest in a service which might die for your ownership of a game

This breaks many games

I don't think Nazis are actively using every acronym, c'mon you know that's silly.

They use this one though.

It's like saying 1844 isn't a bad number, because numbers aren't bad—unfortunately more often than not, when you see it, it's not used innocently.

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.

Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.

Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.

 

UPDATES BELOW

So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.

One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:

Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.

Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.

I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to come up with something a bit more sophisticated than an array of communities. I'll update this post if I ever change my mind on that

Update

So I guess I wasn't happy with leaving it alone:

Here it is on greasyfork https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/474756-lemmy-mlmym-community-bar-customisation

I added localStorage and a simple config GUI to configure the list of favourites now, no reordering yet (without just removing and re-adding in a different order), but I imagine I'll end up adding that in time

Update 2

And another update:

I've just updated GreasyFork with 0.3

  • Added reordering
  • Added background fade and background click to close
  • Added favourite/unfavourite button to the community sidebar
