Hey look, yet another GQP talking point that boils down to not understanding (or willfully dismissing) the idea of consent. Rapists one and all.

on Meta agrees to pay up to $17.1bn to settle claims its platforms harm children in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
35% to the lawyers
15% to court, state, lawyer administrative costs
40% to Governor’s cousin’s LLC established since last Tuesday specializing in child online safety issues according to their website which goes on to read “would you like me to create promotional flyers and other materials in addition to the website”?
15% nobody can trace where it went - but did you know BOYS are playing GIRL sports?!
25% to a program that passively encourages risky online behavior
20% to pro-business tax breaks
That’s right taxpayer, you’re gonna need to chip in for the extra 50%.

“up to” over 10 years, which means they’ll pay 1.8B this year, a massive 3% of annual income, for now and find a way to get out of this before the decade is up

on The Witcher III: Wild Hunt Remastered - Reveal Trailer | gamescom 2026 in c/games@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
Meanwhile, at Bethesda, “We’re gonna release a Skyrim patch that’s disappointing for console players and a pointless nuisance for pc players! TES6 is never coming out! Our best game is maintained by the community and nearly everyone agrees it’s better that way! mwah hahahahahah!!!”
Witcher 3 is on sale on GOG right now. The same GOG that just released one click installation of Tamriel Rebuilt and Openmw for Morrowind.

on Flock CEO calls for ‘compromise’ as surveillance company faces growing backlash | TechCrunch in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
I agree. Our starting position is all flock cameras should be taken down and then shoved up Garrett Langley’s ass. Every single one of them.
Now let us come to the table and find a compromise.

on Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
We need politicians with actionable plans worth voting for

on U.S. preparing to force Netherlands to ban ASML from selling to China in c/technology@lemmy.world · 21 Aug 2026
Yes, biding time and running a pincher strategy of sending out some people to kiss the ring and sending significantly more to the watch groups, industry partners, and courts. Though we’ve also lost as many people to foreign institutions in the last two years as in the previous twenty.
The GOP courted the anti-intellectual vote because their ideology no longer had popular support. It was a deal with the devil and now the devil has come to collect. It’s unlikely they can wind back that deal. The only hope is that more voters wake up and start to understand the impacts of putting morons in charge.

Great context. Though you should probably change all that talk of the US funding research to the past tense, or the in-freefall-collapse-as-budgets-are-slashed-and-political-goons-replace-science-advisors tense, which is rarely used but the current situation fits.

on I can't use Linux! It's too hard! in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
This is one of those situations where I’d have to write an essay to dive into everything wrong. I’m not going to do all that just to have you say “nu uh”. Here’s one example:
The title is “I can’t use Linux! It’s too hard!” yet the crying bell curve person in the middle is literally using Linux.
Did you mean for the title to say “the terminal”? That would change things. But that’s sort of my point, everything has this one off LLM vibe.

I didn’t say people there were satisfied with the status quo. I said they had fantasy-based thinking instead of actionable plans and, for some reason, are letting the GOP sane-wash itself so long as they blame what they did on Trump. Both of those actions are quite anti-status quo. They’re also really, really stupid.

This is 100% the wrongminded mentality we are talking about. We need systemic change to how we vote. We need politicians with actionable plans worth voting for. We need people who understand how voting ACTUALLY works in this country. But nah, man, just fucking vote! That’s the solution!!1!

Did AI write this? It has that weird detachment from understanding the meme format, what the people are saying, and the point of everything that LLMs tend to get just right.

I tried Bluesky. I noticed two overwhelming trends that led to my hasty departure:
Wishful thinking left-wing politics. Encouraging people to pretend like how things ought to be is how things are, and to act accordingly. This is lazy and disastrous thinking, both because it overlooks the real systemic change that needs to happen to get to where you want to be. Though, in fairness, there is quite a bit of this on Lemmy too.
Extremely popular poster who spent their entire careers making the Trump presidency a certainly trying to back pedal on Trump specifically. No mention of their awful ideas they still keep and spread that lead to such an outcome. Lots of thumbs up and people saying “see, they get it” while also not connecting the dots, as if Project 2025 fell from the sky and wasn’t the product of decades of effort.
It’s an idiot convention.

on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
Do you have to fail a test on how time works to be a CEO? Is that why movies are always set waaaaaaaay too soon in the future to make any damn sense?

on New sodium-ion battery skips mechanical cooling with 97.9% efficiency in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
While I get that this is the narrative, people are overstating this case. High end sodium batteries have a similar energy density range to lower end lithium batteries (~150-175 wh/kg). This idea that people wouldn’t buy a battery that is cheaper, safer, and has a much longer cycle life if it weighs a bit more or only runs 80% as long between the faster charges is puzzling at best.
I hope he never has another moment of peace in his entire life until Flock is abolished. Even then…
