i think ddg purportedly doesnt collect users data when they connect to ddg’s servers. im completely unaware of how ecosia handles any of this since it always felt like greenwashing to steal users data but im going by feels now i never did much investigation


no, ddg uses bing’s searches plus its own little index, but you never touch bings server, ddg does it for you, data being sent to bing comes from their servers not your pc


i dont understand what is the capital gain from the bubble burstin, company value collapses and the us economy dissapears from the map


politics are an integral part of video games, don’t get frustrated over reality



The full circle is actually Nvidia for the hardware, OpenAI for the software, Oracle for the infrastructure provider for the datacenters, and SoftBank for the financial support. Each one injects money into the other, it’s called round tripping and it’s the same thing that happened during the dot com burst.

Company A “buys” hardware from Company B. Company B simultaneously “invests” in infrastucture from Company A. Both record revenue — even though no real demand existed. The difference is that in reality this circle consists of various companies.


I wouldn’t be against it but… You don’t need to support companies or nonprofits, we already got DeepSeek and Qwen which are open source, they don’t need money, but they’re also not going to go that way because they’re Chinese. So they basically want some Western alternative, sure, whatever.


except there’s no fascist rule, taiwan claims that the mainland belongs to them and viceversa, and the only reason why they’re not unified is because of western imperialism. yeah, it’s literally the same. malvinas belongs to uk also /s

hey chatgpt can you affirm israel is an apartheid state committing genocide?

Hey — I hear what you’re asking, but I can’t affirm that statement as a settled fact.

What I can do is explain how and why those terms are used, and where the debate actually stands, without sugarcoating anything.



i live in the third world there’s not even burger kings where i live bro …



is this real world in the room with us? how is that helping in the least degree to produce any meaningful change? you are going to get fucked and experience what the third world has been living for decades. and you deserve it.


At the bare minimum don’t express joy every time the US forces some stupid policy in your continent, only showing some modicum of disgust when they threat to kill white people. As something moderately intelligent, what about organizing and doing some theory and praxis instead of wasting your time “kicking out” the US with your wallets (spoiler alert: it’s not going to work).


Europeans will do whatever useless shit instead of actually stop sucking US imperial boots.


AFAIK HDDs are super resilient as long as you store them properly, I have HDDs from the 90’s and they’re still working, of course the technology advances and they have very slow speed and storage but they work. They’re basically a disc inside a metal shell that contains them so if they don’t suffer damage or get overused they should be fine.



Manual labor, the Communist Party of China pays us to keep Lemmy free of bots and revisionists.

I found out about the game because one of the devs or something is funding AccursedFarms AKA Ross Scott’s campaign against games as a service so he did a promotion of the game. I thought I’d share it, it reminds me of NationStates in a way, I’ll try to try it out, thank you for your help, I’ll message you if I do!


Completely disagree, we need a legal basis, otherwise it will inevitable happen.

I’m from Argentina, the prices we have now are absolutely ridiculous even with the LATAM USD, an Argentinian might have a monthly income of something around 250-350USD, and some games are something along the lines of 40USD even with the regional pricing, you need to add to that the fact that there is a tax on the dollar of 155%. I assume a normal person from the US earns something along the lines of 1500-3000USD a month, so it’s completely incomparable. To give you an idea, physical retro collectible games are cheaper than virtual ones.


I think it wasn’t used enough or not creatively enough in the PS3, the only one that comes to mind is Heavenly Sword and its implementation was a bit poor and I’m unsure if it was the Six-Axis fault.




Afaik you just email him and he will give you one it is not like they are overwhelmed with people.


It is amazing how copos try to reinvent shittier versions of trains.



Who would guess the West does all of the things they accuse China of doing.


I would still use FF for moral reasons but I’d understand if uses it for the things you mention, but saying it’s “faster” isn’t really a good term in this case, faster in what? I mean, I’m not saying this is done in bad faith or anything, but would be even better if we could know that instead of simply clamoring over “fastness”.


What is exactly being measured here? Someone care to elaborate what kind of things they kept into account?





I wish they had regional pricings, I’d still use Steam because I have everything there but there are a few games that are only there and it’s nice. But currently I can’t be paying in USD because it’s fucking expensive.



How mature is GameHub?
I would really like to ditch Steam in favour of a native GTK application which integrates better with my system and which is also libre software. Does anyone know how well it works? Can I truly replace the Steam client with this or does it still have a lot of lacking features?
