i’m mainly paying to not sell my digital soul to google

gotta love how every time there is a woman voiceing an opinion thats critizising men just in the slightest, the comments are filled makeing sure we know “bUT Not aLL MeN”

hot take: if you feel the need to defend yourself from such takes, maybe its time for some self-reflection (:

but the people are already kicked… Look if bob works at “bob studios” and i love his work and want to support him, i can buy his game. but if bob got fired long ago, he wont get the money i give to “bob studios”. You are supporting a buisness construct and not the artist in this case here. almost all workers in the game dev field loose their job post project anyway, so you are not even helping them. So i stand by point that this is capitalist propaganda. Its sad but videogame artists get abused by the scene a whole lot. i think it makes sense to show support witht the individuals who make the games you love, rather than the legal steuctures trying to milk them.

other people got paid already. they most likely wont loose money or portfolio if you boycott. its rare that lower level devs and artists are getting any percent of the sales numbers. This talking point from you is coming straigt from bigger publishers all the way to stockholders that have nothing to do with the product.

to be fair, this is the image the center parties have and upkeep. I, as a farly left person, already question if this seperation to right extremism will still be upheld in 4 years. Our Center-right partie CDU falls more and more for populist rethoric, which reminds me of the republicans or the toris.

So what you have been told is not wrong per se. But there is a significant amount of people in the country and politicans in the parlaiment, that argue the seperation between right exremism and center parties did already collaps behind the scenes.

it kinda is. but its a reference to the modern reboot of she-ra where: (huge spoilers for the show, dont click if you plan on watching)

what a weird hill to die on

well the understanding of the world was, that everything has a soul like attribute. and they are in a hirachy from close to god to far from god. so gold was inherantly a very close to god metal and therefore inherantly more worth than lead which was somewhat far from good.

So based on that world view of fixed values based on the christian god, they had no reason to belive the economy might suffer.

which nation?

also again, that was very much not my point. you can engage with my argument while rejecting everything regarding cops. i think my argument stands if i went ahead and delete every sentence with police in it.

well id suggest you read it again if that was your only take from the comment. also does, or does not, police reduce crime at a big festival, or at a demonstration or any other gathering of people? Do police regulating traffic reduce traffic accidents by enforcing traffic laws?

Ever heard of gang ruled areas? those can exist because of underfounded police. id say those have higher crime than police controlled cities.

Also again, not at all the essense of my comment, but rather a supporting point.

well does police being founded stop a crime from happening? does haveing a car mechanic around prevent your car from breaking down? its the same with firefighters. they do prevent these events to an extend. regular car check ups keep the engine going, police presents keeps areas safer and firefighters overviewing critical situations helps detect and extinguis fires early.

But all of those jobs have also a reactionary nature. sure its best to never need fire fighters, but you cant undercut it. because founding them after the fire is too late. Cutting their budget shows low insight and thats what the post makes fun of.

AAA movies were called that by haveing A-class actors A-class musicans and A-class production company. this correlates to nothing in Videogames. Its mostly a marketing term. I agree with most that initial budget plays the biggest role.

imo thats the only feature kdenlive is missing in comparison to other software

front faceing stan doesnt exist. he cant hurt you.

Front faceing stan:

Well i am non binary but we best fit the lesbian lable. doesnt matter at all, i just wanna do my part to prevent lemmy to become heteronormative. we already had that on reddit to an annoying amount ^^

But thats what i assume her thoughts were based of the speechless reaction xD

my now wife is american. i learned uk english. one day we and some friends sat in a team speak voice chat. my now wife asks where XY is. i tell them, that they left to smoke a fag (which is uk söang for smokeing a cigerette). She was very concerned to say the least.

not really. he withdrew because if he gets the positon a moral report on his person would become public. he saw the report and withdrew. wow i wonder what it says

Really depends on what you do and value. I use lots of kde software, so kde distros are my go to. then one big diffrence between distros is how they get updated. do you want the latest updates asap on the costs of stability, or do you want an effing never crashing distro but lag behind in updates a few months/years, or a middleground.

These are the two points i considered when i choose.
