Right wing media convinces their viewers that any media which conflicts with their viewpoint is fake news. This perspective is super alarming because it makes it super hard to construct an argument when every set of proof is considered a lie and propaganda.

No they usually abuse them so they wanna keep that under wraps, like the Catholic priests they kept moving from church to church instead of sending to the cops.

Problem with their logic is that, as stated in the article, goods such as preserved books are already used for recreation. Your idea that a catalogue of old media would prevent consumption of new media is provably false by example. People read old books and it doesn’t stop them from reading new ones. Can you imagine saying this exact same thing about music? People’s tastes change over time and they like new things- old things don’t stop us from consuming the new things. All the copyright lobbyists are doing is preventing the public from enjoying old games that can no longer be played because the hardware is dated or there are no viable copies left.

I imagine that- like their size- they wouldn’t want you to know

If you have examples, maybe you can report it on their issue tracker? I wish the browser had built-in ways to report problems like how amd’s bug reporter works

That’s wild that it wasn’t full time. IRS now defines 30 as full-time thankfully

With a 2 min search I found a cyberpowerpc prebuilt for $700 that included a r7 5700 and rx 6700. And yes, you can absolutely get 60 fps at 1080p on some aaa titles; I don’t know where you get that idea you can’t, especially if you can tweak graphics settings (for the record, most pc gamers don’t even use ultra- high and medium presets are the most reasonable settings). I’m sure a title like Diablo 4 doesn’t require tuning at 1080p at all.

I think a big problem we don’t want to address is now that we’re so interconnected, internet access is a necessity that should be classified as a utility. You can’t just cut off someone’s electricity without notification or process because they did something bad with it and it should apply here too

IMO the problem is not that you can’t block them but tooling. It is true that with the appropriate tools and work you can farm the data yourself and get everyone’s votes, but realistically most people aren’t going to go out of their way to do that. I see no reason why this would make lemmy better and instead just gives ammunition to bad actors. The poster above you is asking why we need to do more things to avoid bad actors as an effect of the change instead of avoiding that outcome. We know there will be bad actors, but we don’t need to make things easy for them. Maybe you were never gonna stop the guy willing to make an instance and look through all your votes, but you’d stop all the ones who wouldn’t be willing to put in the effort.

It is genuinely amazing the lengths this man will go to deny his level of impropriety as if it’s some grand conspiracy and not heavily documented; I am happy others are open to making his existence as miserable as he makes ours.

Honestly I’d that the lives saved from transitioning to EVs quicker is worth the trade. Eventually the car manufacturers will have to compete even if it means they stop making huge cars no one needs and start making smaller ones that travel further. I’m not going to pretend us manufacturers don’t abuse the fuck out of Mexico, India, and China when it comes to sourcing parts and labor, but the environment is a global win we desperately need.
