What comes to my mind is Battlefront 2, which is sold by Steam. I think I paid $5 for it since I boycotted it back when it first came out to due to loot crates... anyway, I regularly see the n-word used in this game every. single. night. It's used specifically to denigrate people of color, in violent and extremely racist ways.

I don't understand how players with maxed out accounts are able to keep them when they are saying this stuff. How is that not flagged for immediate review? EA is a trash company, and Steam may want to stop selling their games if they can't do the BARE MINIMUM to combat this sort of behavior.

Is it, though? If only the selfish, egotistical, wealthy assholes make it off, I'd argue that I could care less about our "species" surviving. Fuck these people.

I see him as the shitty candidate nobody wanted under Obama, who the democrats used to push out Bernie.

I think he's trash.

Oh that's a good point, I don't know (or care) if Boost is open source. I was more referring to Lemmy.

It's not, though. It's a big reason why I'm here, in fact. Boost for Android is awesome!

This isn't just Gen Z. Yes, it's happening to them, but it's also happening to the rest of us. It's impacting low to middle income folks the most, because we can't afford the rising costs of, well, everything.

Job security is also extremely hard to find these days, and Healthcare costs have been getting worse ever since Obama left office.

I assume it was Israel.

It's not a laughing matter. The poors will pay, and the rich people won't notice.

"how much can one banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?"

It was worth a shot!

The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.

I strongly dislike democrats, for the record. I'm independent, and I really think democrats are shit. But I voted for Kamala.

Giving your life for $2k/month... Jesus. That's less than minimum wage where I live. And they don't even get most of it, or perhaps any of it. That's... Wow.

The fact we're still on Windows should tell you something about Linux.

 

For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.

I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.

 

I hope it's alright to ask a question here, because I'm very curious about an important facet of this instance:

I noticed this morning that when I visit some of the communities hosted on other instances, I'm seeing an incorrect vote count, and few to no comments. Is this due to the recent breach, and does it relate to defederating from other instances temporarily?
