Technology@lemmy.world•An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’English
5·7 days agoThese people think they’re in the end times because the world is in a garbage fire state, that they probably helped cause, and now they want out instead of doing literally anything else, including just not making it worse.

Technology@lemmy.world•The People’s Answer to ICE: Crowdsourcing Community DefenseEnglish
2·8 days ago“The 3.5% participation metric may be useful as a rule of thumb in most cases; however, other factors—momentum, organization, strategic leadership, and sustainability—are likely as important as large-scale participation in achieving movement success and are often precursors to achieving 3.5% participation.”
I feel like this needs to be underlined. Leadership figureheads, especially ones who can delegate or inspire others to act as sub-commanders, would be huge.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to communicate and organize hierarchy in the climate we’re in now.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Some of The Sims 4's biggest content creators have just stepped down from EA's creator network in the wake of the $55B Saudi-backed buyout: 'This situation is a nightmare for our community'English
1·8 days agoMaybe those content creators should put their heads together and come up with their own Sims. With blackjack! And hookers!
Unfortunate there’s not a good substitute for MyAnimeList, I’m really not a fan of the website design.

3·11 days agoI do play Pathfinder!
Bravo!

I could be wrong but I think people underestimate how pleasant it is to see someone just having a good time. It always brings a smile to my face to see people doing things like this, or dancing, or some other joyful activity.

5·14 days agoI mean, yeah, that’s generally more the response, but I don’t mind explaining things a bit if they’re interested enough to inquire.

9·14 days agoI used to do that, but these days I just say I play “tabletop games.” And then one of three things happens: “Huh? What do you mean?” In which case I can clarify a bit, and usually wrap up with “Games similar to D&D.” “Oh okay.” Obvious disinterest, no need to elaborate further. “What system do you play?” Ah, a fellow player identified!
Seconding the thread of folks being like, “I gotta do the training anyway so fuck it,” BUT I did think it was very funny that frequently after sending out a phishing test or whatever, this would be followed up with an email requesting the security training, and invariably a bunch of people would report THAT.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"English
27·16 days agoAnecdotally, I was tinkering with it earlier this year and finally stopped being lazy and flipped my main PC over. After I talked about it enough in my friend chat, three more friends followed suit and a fourth is going to soon. It’s not just the end of supporting Windows 10, it’s all of the repeated bugs, glitches, and AI garbage Microsoft has been pushing everywhere so aggressively. People who would likely only rate themselves as “mildly” tech savvy are sick of it and willing to make a move, I feel.

8·16 days agoThe laundry room monitor in my building went down lol… (The monitor being the thing that lets you check a website to see if any of the machines are free or when they’re done, etc.)
Set up Zipline to share bigger files with my friends.












The hovertext of this one is “Ironically, I had to censor this due to running ads, but… one day…”
