The disturbing online misogyny of Gamergate has returned – if it ever went away
  • Defensive much? I find myself being very suspicious of this opposing narrative. I'm not up to speed on this these days, but I remember Keza MacDonald being generally outstanding in her betrayal portrayal of events in video games culture.

  • "Say John from Texas is dying of hunger. He asks me for food, but I refuse. If John dies, is it my fault? Arguably, I merely allowed him to die, which while not exactly benevolent, isn’t exactly murder either. Now imagine that John doesn’t ask for food, but goes off to the market, where he’ll find plenty of people willing to exchange their goods for work that he can do in return. This time though, I hire a couple of heavily armed baddies to block his way. John dies of starvation a few days later. Can I still claim innocence?"

  • You know that immigration is a net positive for every western nation right? People coming to a country wanting to make a new life contribute to a its society and economy. They also help populations keep growing as birthrates are falling. It would be nice to see these sorts of arguments made more though, if that's what you mean?

  • What is the scariest/creepiest theory you know about?
  • This doesn't solve the problem. If the universe is indeed infinite then there are infinite cases of our evaluation and infinite identical yous out there. If the Boltzmann brain hypothesis is true though, there are vastly "more" of those. It's a larger infinity, making it much more lively you are a Bultzmann brain than a full physical person.

  • What is the scariest/creepiest theory you know about?
  • The Boltzmann brain

    The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it might be more likely for a single brain to spontaneously form in a void, complete with a memory of having existed in our universe, rather than for the entire universe to come about in the manner cosmologists think it actually did.

  • free: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on epic
  • It's highly likely, but the getting there is definitely worth it. The game is half the story though. It feels like it stops in the middle, albeit after a significant enough plot point to give you some satisfaction. The game is incredible though and I'd definitely take that version over nothing at all.

  • suspend-then-hibernate not working when hibernate does

    Does anyone know why suspend-then-hibernate might not work with an "unrecognised verb" error (on ubuntu 23.04) when hibernate works?

    Foundation vs Dune
  • Or is Dune about the folly of different types of dictatorship; sadistic, benevolent, religious or machiavellian? Taking only the first book (because that's as far as I've read) every leader is thwarted or confined by the consequences or weakness of their own style of leadership.
