Yeah that’s tough when you run into a wall like that. Maybe just reiterate that something seems up, and then if she refuses to admit that, you can at least expand on your observations and why you think something is up. Ultimately, if she still refuses to talk about things, you have a binary choice to make. Tolerate it, or walk away.

Ok, thanks for letting me know?

The reason this likely hasn’t been the case in the past was consoles generally had proprietary hardware that was extremely limited so games were made to squeeze every last drop out of hardware. Additionally the consoles were identical hardware so drivers didn’t need to be robust.

PC’s are myriad in their internal specs which makes drivers for GPU’S and solving bugs and conflicts gets way harder.

However, in recent history the consoles’ hardware have all basically converged to basically be PC’s anyway. Sony and MS are both running AMD platforms and DirectX. Of course Nintendo complicated the matter by switching from AMD in Wii to Nvidia for the switch, but there was never any chance Nintendo was going to care about PC anyway.

I mean I’m a pod person but, how about you literally just say all this to her instead? Ain’t nobody psychic. Assumptions are stupid, get the facts.

You are a drop in the bucket. LTT is at 16 million subs to GN’s 2.5 million. That story was investigated by a third party with no wrong doing found. LTT isn’t going anywhere.

It’s like none of them have seen Tommy Boy.

Lol, neurospicy, I like that, might need to use that myself

Well I sure don’t, for whatever that’s worth.

Probably futile to discuss the health or ethics of it without first figuring out if people in the discussion share similar beliefs on what the meaning/purpose of life is.

Cuz if you’re talking to a nihilist who thinks it’s all shadows and dust at the end of the day, you’ll get a very different discussion that someone who thinks family and procreation are the point of life.

I like using it to help get the ball rolling on stuff and organizing my thoughts. Then I do the finer tweaking on my own. Basically I kinda use a sliding scale of the longer it takes me to refine an AI output for smaller and smaller improvements is what determines when I switch to manual.

Plex server is running on my old Threadripper 1950X. Thing has been a champ. Due to rebuild it since I’ve got newer hardware to cycle into it but been dragging my heels on it. Not looking forward to it.

Pressure wash a few neighborhood walkways or houses, use income to buy drums.

I think they might also need to maybe leave work at a reasonable time.

Compassion fatigue is a thing. You can try for some Buddhist state of Nirvana that would likely take a lifetime to pursue… Or you can start curating your input. Stop doom scrolling, look for positive science news and the like. There’s plenty of positivity out there still, it’s just not algorithm friendly.

He curates his input and surrounds himself with sycophants to give him the skewed view of reality that he prefers.

Yeah, that may be true. Some people have their minds made up and they somehow think any further discussion is somehow a weakening of their position or something like that.

I like to think that any fear of discussion simply means you’re afraid your reasons aren’t sound and you don’t want to question the reality that you may be acting on emotions rather than reason. I think you can definitely have this discussion rationally and still end up supporting what happened.

I understand what you’re saying. The answer is yes, we choose when violence is justified.

Lemmy doesn’t do well with nuanced discussion. The communication dilemma present is the lack of the bridge between where one party in the discussion wants to continue narrowing the parameters of discussion until we are left with a binary choice (the quantum side of discussion) and the other party wants to keep the discussion broad and cognizant of all the variables (the general relativity side of discussion).

Both sides have valid reasons for existing. Usually you do have to narrow parameters in order to actually come up with a solution or action to implement. Similarly to how in a valid experiment you attempt to control all variables except what you’re testing. But you also have to be aware of all the variables in the first place to adequately control them.

No mortgage. My tenant said you’re a moron.

I rent out my upstairs. Should I kick them out? All of my tenants have loved me, I rarely raise rent, and include Internet and utilities. Nuance.
