Sounds like the plot from a Cronenberg movie.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What was the internet like before Y2K happened ?
11·10 days agoI don’t feel like it’s new users not knowing etiquette that’s the problem. I think it’s corporate greed and enshittification.
The internet has been dumbed down to a handful of high-traffic sites, and those are trying to make a buck of us. You ran a server/website for your own benefit, not to make a dollar. It’s corpo greed, I tell ya…

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
12·27 days agoSubnautica
I already played it through once, but with a Phenom quadcore (and a gtx 970, but heavily bottlenecked). The difference is refreshing: from around 720p 20ish fps I went to 1080p 60.
A great crafting game, but I won’t waste words on a 10 year old fan-favorite, unless prompted (and then I can gush!).
Keep at it! I lucked out on my first run as well, then I had to figure out which cards and relics have some synergy.
I have about 550 hours in the game, and beat the boss at lvl 20 with both the ironclad and the defect. The latter was gruelling. I started an ascension with the silent as well, but unfortunately StS2 came out in early access, and that bad boy has multiplayer!
Original Slay the Spire is off 75% (for around €6). Great game.

Pretty sure it’s so that he doesn’t overheat. And good luck on the ‘þ’ crusade.

Great, now I have Weezer playing my head :/
Great article, thanks for sharing!
I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host’s website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!
Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.

19·3 months agoI wasn’t patient this time around, so it’s Slay the Spire 2, early access.
It runs really well on my two core third gen ryzen laptop, and I will gladly recommend it to anyone who likes deckbuilders.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any easy ways and methods for actually studying socialist theory and such?
2·4 months agoSorry, not really. I could only point you towards my wayward comment mentioning Weber and Dürkheim.
Sociology really wouldn’t be a bad place to start, you can see how the words are derived from the same base. I don’t know any modern thinkers, I flunked out pretty early from that uni.
If you try the inward out method (by observing social transactions, peer pressures), you would still be well off to pick up some literature, so you can get some framing for it.

2·4 months agoSorry if came through as judgy in my first comment. What territory of sociology interests you? Why do you want to learn more on the topic?
In the school where I was taught, one of the major directions was statistics. Harm reduction and drug policy also go under the umbrella. I really enjoyed the idea of mental maps, but that might’ve been the cultural anthropology class (which kinda bleeds over into the subject).

11·4 months agoEasy way? What do you mean by that? Sociology doesn’t even have a basic axiom, it’s such an elusive thing.
Either be attentive and critical to the social constructs that surround you (if possible, it’s really hard to just observe, because many things we thing are natural, like inhereting your father’s name, not your mother’s), or start reading Max Weber, Karl Marx & Emile Dürkheim’s writings to get started.
