    It's been a lifesaver gaming wise. Nice to know most games do and can run on linux, it's usually the ones with some sort of online anti-cheat that don't run.

  • In what way does capitalism "dampen" selfishness?

  • The US led on nuclear fusion for decades. Now China is in position to win the race
  • I read an article that China, while yes they are the outspending US in fusion research, also have exponentially more PhD's working on the research as well.

  • Just get a PC? Parts prices are low right now and they are far more useful than a console that has a "planned expiration" every 5-10 years.

  • But it's also hard to know what contemporary economists are arguing without reading those foundational writers

  • Hachette v. Internet Archive is out: 2nd Circuit rejects controlled digital lending theory; IA's use is not transformative; all four fair use factors favor the publishers
  • I'll share what a Harvard professor and copyright lawyer sent me in an email:

    I write with a gloomy update for the Hachette v. Internet Archive appeal in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: The court affirmed the lower court's decision about CDL, and ruled that Internet Archive's Open Libraires program was NOT a fair use.

    One shining moment though, was that the court ruled that a "Donate Now" button does not indicate "commercial use" for purposes of the fair use argument. (Phew!)

    There is more to unpack here, but we will be hosting a series of CFR talks in the coming weeks to discuss the decision and it's implications.

  • Trump campaign strategy pivots to praying he wins September debate
  • she strikes me as the sort of person who listens to constructive feedback.> Is there a particular event or thing I can look up that she did to give you that impression?

  • Ten years on, Alien Isolation’s biggest problem is its runtime
  • Such a great game regardless! Romulus took some cues from the game and it definitely shows.

  • But if Gizbak stops maintaining his Summoning Circle tomes, the whole world of magic will fall apart
  • Or giant megacorporations each hire 200,000+ of them to create products for the non-magic folk to consume.

    After a few decades, the idea of being a wizard is synonymous with working 8+ hours a day on magic that no wizard really wants and there is so little new spells and magic being created in the world that everyone wishes there wasn't any.

    Then leaks come out that the products these megacorporations create have been slowly killing the planet and they've known for decades. But since they have so much power and money, nothing can stop them until the world dies.

  • I disagree. Trump surviving the asassination gave him a huge publicly. It should also be mentioned that Biden resigned shortly after, so this event really shook up the overall trajectory of the election.

  • Parents had one of these and we all collectively hated it. But it stood the test of time for 20+ years. This post brings back memories lol

  • Same! I find that things like listening to music way more fun. Oddly enough the songs feel like they last longer too

  • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
  • Not trying to troll or anything, but what can Chrome do that Firefox cannot?

    I've always felt like Firefox has more useful features like screenshotting, etc.

  • How to get started with pirating music (mp3s)?
  • FLAC is best if space is no concern. But when your collection starts getting very big, there are better options like AAC (which I use). It's a lot less space than FLAC and mp3, and higher quality than mp3 as well.

    Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?
  • I'm on the fence between Harris or to abstain. My opinion is that the Democrats are not listening to the people, and by holding hands with the international criminals in Israel, they are alienating progressives massively (no doubt her VP pick is an attempt to win them over). 76 years of pro-Israel policy, and what has it done?

    When it comes to economy, Harris is a neoliberal, and rather conservative economically, which I disagree with.
