How do Americans win their country back? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It is the limitation of democracy and why it is the worst (except all the others) - because it allows this.

How to fix this? These would be a good start: don't polarize the society like this and create us vs. them mentality. In place of power hungry populists have people in charge who want the best for the country. Don't enable fascists - they never should make it this far. Respect other people. Invest in education so people understand these basics.

And this is not just about US. It's scary that this is wherr us got because they are such a big player on the world stage

"Windows Intelligence": Microsoft may drop Copilot in major AI rebranding in c/technology@lemmy.world

Agreed, Copilot was one of if not the best named AI I think. Why they would want to rebrand it to something so bland so quickly is beyond me

Anyone checking out Brighter Shores? in c/games@lemmy.world

Doesn't look like my type of MMO but will try it anyway. Would be interested on what you think about it once you play

Take it up with Winston Churchil - I was just paraphrasing his quote.

The point is democracy is terrible, but we don't have anything better.

Now that americans elected a fascist as their leader is it ok to insult all americans? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

All Americans? As in every single individual? I don't think so. There are many who will suffer under Trump regime I'm sure.

The generalized Americans? Hell yeah. And I bet majority of the individuals I mentioned above would back it up

In the context of the leaked Warcraft II remake, do you still trust Blizzard to produce good games? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Well yeah - they recorded the MP3s as lossless audio, clearly

Democracy really is the worst form of government, just not as bad as all the others...

Unfortunately in such polarized times like now, even though majority wants this, the ammount of people for which this is unacceptable is only slightly less than "the majority". And besides, I believe a big part of "the majority" is just gullible enough to be persuaded they want this while it actually goes against their interests

I think it was a sweet pizza (not sure why it's not just called cake at that point), but only heard about people mentioning it so not sure

Christmas is coming up, what are some good gifts ideas for family and friends? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] illi@lemm.ee 20 points 5 days ago

This is the way, but also be vigilant - if they really wanted the thing, they might've gotten it themselves. If possible, double check this.

Which is to say, in essence, pelmeni are a type of pierogi

Wayfinder Early Access Showcase (www.twitch.tv)

Anybody else unreasonably excited for this one?

Looks like a really fun MMO-lite with potential and plans to lean more heavily into MMO elements. Pretty much looks like fantasy Warframe with cream on top. Monetization looks fair as it is published by the same guys that did Warframe and I think they have a good reputation for how they do their monetization.

No wipe after EA ends so this is pretty much early launch, though it will eventually be F2P after official launch.

Actual showcase starts at around 00:30 mark.

Didn't watch it all yet, but looks like Fantasy Sims MMO. Thoughts? Anybody excited? Doesn't seem like my cup of tea, butlooks interesting enough for me to at least try it.

How safe is open source software? What are the general benefits? (lemm.ee)

So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn't it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I'd have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to get my passwords somehow than if I use something not open source? Do I just not understand how software works in general?

And what are other benefits that may be not so obvious to someone not so knowledgable about this?

Edit: thank you all for really insightful answers! Among other things I also learned just how much I don't know :)

I'm having some issues with subscription list view when it wouldn't load for me at all moat of the time, I got "null check operator used on null check value" message with a reload option that doesn't do anything? Anybody else having this issue? Any way to fix? I have two accounts logged in if that makes any difference.
