i prefer to give them things, like food or water than outright giving them money.

It’s just a windows PC in handheld format that has a new Xbox app that turns off a bunch of windows functions that use up perform despite having no benefit for gaming. But it is a windows pc, you can hook it up with a dock, and use it as your daily PC.

My comment was in favor of this pricing because of that and gaming laptops are generally more expensive than this despite being less convenient for the primary purpose. A lot of people forget these things are actually quite capable desktop PCs when paired with a dock + monitor.

How much does a gaming laptop cost again? Because this is that essentially.

I said this elsewhere Orwell applies just as well to any type of ideology because they all ask you to accept the agenda and to walk in lockstep with everyone else in the “movement”. So when right wing podcasters use it they are as correct as when left wingers do. Failure to see this means being completely consumed by ideology.

Whatever we gained by losing these, it was not worth it.

Existence is entropy. Everything you love will be dust one day. That is natural and good.

I know people are morons and I’m a contrarian so I will almost always assume the least popular thing is better, but less convenient somehow

The founders sold it, it’s not like they were put a gun to their heads to sell.

I mean. Why exactly does this website need so many employees? You could probably run the website with less than a 100

PermabanQuestion (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ve been permabanned from Reddit for harassment. I was fucking with some guys that liked anime in a non anime subreddit, I simply called them Chinese cartoons and they got mad, bigly. Anyways I trolled too much using that account so apparently they figured it was better to cut me off the website entirely. I would like to use Reddit still, but every account gets banned as soon as I make it. It tells me I can appeal but I can’t actually because that was more than a year ago.

If I delete that account and all associated accounts, and make new account not associated with them (new email), will it get banned too? I know reddit bans are not just IP bans but also use device ID and all that shit. Will I have to buy a new computer exclusively for Reddit? Or does my device becomes unflagged the moment I delete the banned account?

I need help with this shit. I like lemmy but there’s just not enough people here.

Why are we not banning algorithms? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Since Meta announced they would stop moderating posts much of the mainstream discussion surrounding social media has been centered on whether a platform has a responsibility or not for the content being posted on their service. Which I think is a fair discussion though I favor the side of less moderation in almost every instance.

But as I think about it the problem is not moderation at all: we had very little moderation in the early days of the internet and social media and yet people didn’t believe the nonsense they saw online, unlike nowadays were even official news platforms have reported on outright bullshit being made up on social media. To me the problem is the godamn algorithm that pushes people into bubbles that reinforce their correct or incorrect views; and I think anyone with two brain cells and an iota of understanding of how engagement algorithms works can see this. So why is the discussion about moderation and not about banning algorithms?
