People who hide behind those covers are corrosive. IMO.

Edit: oh wait, I spelt that wrong. It should have been “hypocrisy”.

42·7 hours agoMy pet sociological theory is that irony has poisoned society in such a pervasive way that it opened the doors to our current cultural and political climate.
I think it started in the early 90s. But it’s a progressive thing, so it has seeds earlier than that, for sure. But it really took off in the 90s.
When people grow up in a society filled with irony and people holding things at a distance with irony, it really fucks up social development.
And now here we are. Post satire and post irony.

News@lemmy.world•65, single, seeking a roommate: More seniors are being priced out of living aloneEnglish
72·7 hours agoIt’s a complex topic that the person you replied to only introduced briefly.
We have a loneliness epidemic and it’s expensive to live in isolation. There is a middle ground between the two that would fit both your pov and the one the person you are replying to is scratching the surface of.
It’s undeniable that some people just get progressively unhealthy when they live alone. But that’s not true for everyone, for sure. But we did evolve to live in tribes and support each other.
No one is attacking the idea of living alone. They are just saying that it’s worth further examination.
This person is likely not participating a conspiracy to force you into communal housing or to have babies.

2·10 hours agoThat’s an N dash. They are named that way because of how wide they are.
So your assessment is wrong. Since everyone knows M dash is the one only AI uses, and AI didn’t learn to do that from humans who do. Nope.

1·2 days agoMod support backs devs into corners. And it’s unreasonable to expect all game devs to take the extra time.
If all users stopped bitching about breaking changes, we would have different story here.
And if users didn’t expect to have full freedom to mod multiplayer games (exploits) the whole story would be different too.

1·2 days agoDevelopers can do this if they choose to right now.
Most devs would turn off the feature if Steam was just indexing every release and letting people switch to old ones. This is because it will lead to users complaining about old versions for any number of dumb reasons.

Wow. I wonder how they would even keep such a thing under wraps.
