Everybody’s dead, Dave…

Si. We’re about to see how the iron dome stands against it. Maybe Iran has figured out a way to bypass Israeli defences…

It’s taking away right of ownership. A direct license of ownership, a copy or copies, defines the parameters of which the user is allowed to operate.

Running locally with access to installer that can be archived allows for more individualistic control. Having access to a Steam library is one thing, but having a local Steam backup is also possible.

However, if a game relies on online functionality it could be frustratingly because it was a “live service”, “online only” or subscription based. In either of these cases, you’re being deprived of value, of control. It vests all the power in the distributor over the contents value at any given point and time, with control over scarcity and accessibility.

As such live services and subscriptions should be disparaged, because it only makes you subservient. Laws should be put in place to guarantee access to games executable and for them to be stored and run locally.

I say this because I think people at large are getting swindled right now and it’s so saddening.

I.e being more reliant upon Google Play services so you’ll have to accept their predatory EULA.

Now if they released a new driver update system independent of Google Play, that would be better.

Funny how a bunch of non-governmental institutions uphold colonialism and anyone who wants to partake has to play ball… it’s like as if there’s an empire, an empire with flags from China, workers from Mexico and intellectual property made by Indians… but I can’t quite put my hamburger on it…

If you subscribe to play video games, you’re an idiot. Musicians want to exit streaming now, while game publishers sees prime real estate for exploitation.

What? There are plenty of communist Lemmy subs you can ask in. I just think you haven’t tried hard enough.

To answer your question tho, no - because there would be no need. Communism does want mandatory participation, but if checked and balanced correctly everyone would work within their limits and not be relegated to a lower class of living - because that’s sort of the point of communism. You’d work within your means until there was time to retire without being limited in access to services and goods. Theoretically, under a functioning communist system, there would be no manufactured scarcity.

Tbh I believe both communism and our current form of capitalism centralises power and ownership way too much. Social-capitalism, or even libertarian socialism, might be the ticket. It would undo at least 200 years of psy-ops and gamed laws designed to favour the rich and vesting power in them, which is the issue of centralised power that we’re facing today - in what some call “late-stage capitalism” - or what I call the breaking point of society under a predatory, exploitative and imperialistic form of capitalism that seems more like the privatisation of the aristocracy than the supposed liberalisation of economy. Transparency, accountability and consequences for people in power and wealth is what’s sorely needed.

PS: New public management is a con-job disguised as decentralisation meant to encumber governments under the guise of checking and balancing them, being effectively a psy-op in of itself to make people hate public services and taxes. As per usual, goddamn liberals - and I include socially conservative liberals in that polifical grouping. Dems and pubs are the same, want the same institutions and promote US imperialism - not fiscal independence, no matter what justification and mental gymnastics they put in the form of spreadsheets.

PPS: Also, additionally, commodification of the housing market was a mistake. It will always be stupid and harmful towards society.

I’m assuming this may be a Flatpak issue. Have you turned on fractional scaling?

Sun Microsystems was once the great hope of the computing world, and technically the JVM was first to normalise the use of VM’s, albeit from a containerised perspective. It was Docker before docker, in some sense.

This coupled with Solaris and the SPARC systems that were Java-native (whatever that means) enabled this type of containerisation from a hardware level, which again: was a huge thing.

But, Sun turned for the worse once the JVM hit browsers and server stacks. That’s when their SaaS model was envisioned, that was the precursor to the acquisition by Oracle.

So it started nicely, but hit the enshitification velocity somewhere in the early 2000s.

haha java is terrible, mostly because of who owns it.

Think of those poor data brokers… I mean “poor” in the figurative sense…

If you or your loved ones suffer from NFTs, order your inside garden tray so that they can have therapy at home by increasing the likelihood that they tou h grass.

“Oh no, real competiton, in green energy no less!”

Bitch, are you for real?

I came to bask and sunbathe in the radiance of that title. It shall nourish me.

haha the US government is internally the most bitch made country in the west. When asked, an artist will depict a congressman straddling the average citizen, and the congressman is in turn being straddled by an executive.

Even foreign interests discuss the odd “fuckable” or “breedable” US politician, in how far they would bend over backwards for money. Photos of certain congressman photoshopped over a Japanese maids body have been circulating the UN.

“…daughter dearest.”

“Wow, this guy programs.”

That’s what people always say about my life.

I think it was an attempt at a joke… basically that the user introduces a faulty juxtaposition that doesn’t make sense. One is a CSS framework specifically tailored to SPA’s (or heaven forbid MPA’s) by providing many generic classes that can be re-used, where as the other 3 are CSS pre-processors designed to simplify writing CSS, though technically speaking tailwind also does pre-processing, since it provides a boilerplate css reset, use of variables, functions, concatenation and compressing them together and oh god I’m the joke… I’m the joke here. I’ve served the punchline, which is a copypasta in of itself.

Well done, @[email protected]. Well done.

I was supposed to come here and write “Lemmy Lemmy Lemmy when lemmy. Lemmy? Lemmy.”

I have no idea what that is code for, but my brother is lying in hospital with a brain aneurysm because of you sick and twisted people. He keeps saying “when it tueahday” over and over.

I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY!!! YOU ARE ALL SICK!!!

Just look at that lineup. Plasma 6 is absolutely awesome.
