"Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action.

The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."

”The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. … The takeover and dismantling of USAID is a test case for whether Musk and the Trump regime can destroy a part of government without legal or political resistance. So far, the answer seems to be yes.”

I deeply regret to inform you: renewed. You're stuck with me for another year.


Interesting perspectives on the microbiome here.

I always had the somewhat quaint idea that our guts are full of friendly microbes, but what if the microbiome is largely parasitic, at least in the long run?

No worries, I agree it's an interesting topic, and I wanted to read it to contribute to your thoughtful thread.

Clearly they decided that the whole license bait-and-switch extravaganza has been forgotten and forgiven.

Monster Hunter Wilds looks unplayable on Steam Deck but good on Desktop Linux gamingonlinux.com/2025/02/mons…

in reply to Richard Devine

@richdevine i don't know what it is as i'm dumdum, but i swear the low-end settings of games have just gotten steadily worse really quickly
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

@richdevine I might be taking out of my unqualified arse here, but I suspect a large part of it has to do with the recent move away from fixed or heavily pre-baked environments where much of the load could be pre calculated anf shared between tiers, to more real time calculations like global illumination or grass physics.

Granted Wild's performance to be suffering terrible in PB1, I have to check PB2 though.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

The skeptic in me blames upscaling tech and frame gen for everything. Devs can just make badly optimized games and rely on AMD/Intel/NVIDIA to do the work to make them better.

That's good news. This game is on my list for a long time already. Figure this is one unique game play really distinct from other stuff that's around.

Since it's #valve (I don´t know which engine? Source2?) I wonder if it's worth to consider #VR... if there is such an option?
