These days you can do that on fucking arch (from the point of "have a usable DE with internet access" onwards ofc, which is the point most distros get you out of the box). Install steam, check the setting to show windows games with proton, and it just works. At most need GEProton sometimes but I doubt that's different on SteamOS.

No doubt SteamOS is the most optimized for that experience but there really isn't a lot of friction for gaming on steam in general these days.

Which is what ML is extremely good at. Humans too, but we can't process data quickly enough.

I think there'd be reasonable worry about false positives though. Imagine you just have some weird playstyle (maybe due to disability) that you got really good at, so the AI classifies you as abnormal and flags you as a cheater. Much less likely when you're looking for the software instead.

Also it's probably just way more expensive.

I still think the real solution to cheaters has to be to legally go after the cheat sellers. The one time I would like for laws to protect some capitalist interests (since cheaters definitely hurt the bottom line of mp game publishers) it's not happening.

Satire based on Israel's rhethoric I'm assuming.

And I'd bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn't mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.

The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.

Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It's gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn't have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).

Though there's a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.

I've come to realize that this is all stock markets. They are vibes-based, in their entirety. Often the vibes coincide with economic reality, sometimes you have a powerful person bullshitting enough people to make the value go up (or down) which at a certain point leads to even those that weren't fooled to join in because the price change is real.

Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.

And many of those emissions aren't something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.

It still hurts russia. Azerbaijan (or any other country proxying russian gas) will take a cut, and russia will almost certainly end up with less money for their gas than before. Strategically it's still not a terrible move. Long term we just need to phase out gas entirely, but that necessarily takes time.

Should've started a decade or two earlier, but you can't change the past.

This is quite literally the opposite of how you actually get people to support your cause. Ask any psychologist.

Shutting them out completely might work fine when they're a tiny minority, but when in some cases a quarter of the population agrees with them enough to vote for them, doing that is simply impossible. They *will* have reach.

I also still think we need people throwing their morals about manipulating people to the wind and starting to peddle left wing conspiracy theories just like the right wingers are doing. For example with how perfectly it fits there really should be an actual movement behind the whole trump=the biblical antichrist thing in the US, but I've only seen it as satire in spaces that are already left wing.

Lack of alcohol supply (a specific kind no less) is so far down the list of actual problems though. The majority of the population of the EU in every country seems to be on board with suffering a little in order to stick it to trump, so whiskey is really a weird thing to not import, especially given the potential impact it can have on the political opinion in affected regions.

As much as it sounds good, this is not an argument that will convince anyone who is against DEI (and honestly while DEI usually seems implemented quite well it's not any better of an argument than "North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, so they're a democracy").

The people that are against DEI mostly fall in 2 categories. One is flat out racists, which have no issues being against these values. The other are those that believe that the implementation of DEI is in some way bad and discriminatory. This is ime often based on sensationalized news about a few edge cases or stories that were twisted to a degree where they're basically made up. They don't need to be told that diversity, equity and inclusion are good values, they need to be informed about the fearmongering being just that.

Though with what trump is doing I suspect many of the latter category are already realizing that trumps version of "getting rid of DEI" is doing exactly the bad things they were told DEI does, so maybe we're already mostly left with the racists.

There's one in the garage of my apartment building. All i can think about when I see it is what a giant douche bag you have to be to buy something like that while living in a big city.
