  • Exactly. That is why we need solid principles.

  • I agree 100%. In business, you have to prove your innocence when subject to a lawsuit. Same goes for lying imo.

    If you ran out of money to keep your promise, you will be able to prove that. Same goes for having to compromise to get some other benefit.

    The initial point I was trying to make is that we are so accustomed (imo) to being lied to that we don’t make people prove that they didn’t plan that from the beginning.

    For example: where I live, it is common practice to make food pictures for ads or menus that a) dont resemble the final product and b) are made with completely different, often inedible substances to look like a better version of the real deal. Something that an hones picture can never achieve. This needs to be illegal. This is not someone running out of money or compromising but premeditated lying.

  • Makes total sense! Thank you for mentioning it. I think we are often assuming malice when incompetence is more likely.

  • Interesting! Thanks for elaborating and the book suggestion. Will check it out!

  • Exactly. Brilliantly put.

  • Right in the feels! Ouch. But thanks for sharing. I know the feeling.

  • I agree. Thanks for explaining.

  • You are a wonderful person for explaining this imo. Thank you.

  • I don’t understand what you‘re trying to say. Would you mind elaborating?

  • I‘m not sure I understand what you‘re trying to say, sorry.

    In autistic people we call this mind blindness. I‘m gifted and for me, all people are gifted and are deliberately not getting what I get which frustrates the hell out of me.

    But I choose to leave them be. I wish they would do the same for me. :)

  • I have seen that recently. Thank you very much.

  • Okay. I agree that i was a bit far with my phrasing. I should have said „in city centers“. I live in a city and I don’t see a reason to use or even own a car 9/10 times (if the transit is good, which it isnt in my city).

    But I‘d like to address something else here. If we had no cars, we would take a lot longer to do things and become much less productive and less stressed, which is becoming a big problem rn.

    So, maybe a conpromise between both our ideas would be good. I‘d like to achive throwing a wrench in our capitalist steam machine turning our planet to a pile of shit.

  • I agree. But I also believe that we give up to easily because „thats the way it is“. My point is we should push more in the other direction and try to go binary (right/wrong) as much as possible. If something is morally wrong, it needs to be put into law asap nearly no matter the cost.

  • Probably. But i have been accused of doing this on purpose while i am neurologically unable to. This being anecdotal evidence I still think a lot of those we perceive as malignant are secretly unable.

  • Yes, of course. Still, nobody plays all of them and the number is growing massively thanks to steam deck. So people should consider it and make an informed decision.

  • This must be the nicest and most understanding and comforting thing someone ever commented on my posts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • Tell me about it… I researched a ton but the problems with nvidia and the emergence of better and better amd drivers (and I think now intel as well) for linux was pretty hard to get so I ended up with an nvidia gpu and I hate it a little bit. I mean, it works but I assume it would have been a lot easier. Lets hope nvidia gets the hint at some point (like microsoft did by making shit more repairable).

    Anyway, good for you. I just switched on my main and so far its pretty good, games wise. Tbf I run everything on steam rn. I haven’t tried the other stuff (blizzard stuff, far cry, etc). I am not opposed to „alternative means“ but I happen to be happy with the reduced price games on steam etc.

    I would absolutely try and dual boot for a bit at least. :)

  • Ban all cars. bus, tram and trains need to be so great that you can actually stand driving in them. But they’re only important for winter or when it rains mostly anyway. Otherwise you take the bike, ebike or scooter. We would need to find a solution for carrying lots of groceries obviously. Remember when people hat little trollies behind them when grocery shopping?

    (Obviously in summer a disabled person would still ride them. Not trying to be ableist here)

  • Please consider trying linux. Although I‘m having my fair share of issues using ubuntu desktop atm, I have a complex setup and am insanely thickheaded and entitled because I‘m a linux server admin. So, a windows user who switches to a clean linux mint install should be ok.

    Fun fact: a ton of games work wonderfully on linux now.

  • I sadly don’t know a lot about router setups but there is an !ubuntuserver@discuss.tchncs.de community you could crosspost to if you want to. :) good luck.
