I can see how it can be confusing. There probably are better ways to label this.

But basically, the lines are not axes. They are quadrant “dividers”. So the line labelled “Economic” divides the Left and the Right half. So your position is further left economically than the Greens.

The owls have been a constant source of smiles round here. This requires near-zero effort, so it’s literally the least we could do to give back!

Ooh. Sites. I was tired and actually read it as another word that starts and ends with “s”.

And the headline still made sense… “Of course he does. Him and many of his supporters.”

If you eat them with the skin on, you’ll have so much testosterone that people will elect you to lead your country.

the latter I do not trust.

Am I reading the article wrong? Is it not a good thing that they refused to comply with the hostile anti-encryption law?

Aussie here. We keep corner spiders too. In fact, Bazza is looking at me right now from his cozy corner in the loo.

We try to keep the huntsmen (the huntswomen and huntschildren too) outside, as they freak our city-dwelling friends out.

The user figures are strongly impacted by the closing of Microsoft’s acquisition of gaming giant Activision Blizzard

I was sceptical of the 500m figure for Xbox (even if we include Xbox on Windows); but it makes sense if they include Battle.net figures I guess…

My impression from looking at how the likes of Temu and Shein are raking in billions is that, people are perfectly happy with cheap leas-than-mediocre slop.

Forza Horizon, on the other hand, are actually quite fun.

I had some fun with Bing AI…

Draw me an illustration of the following. A lady with pink, long flowy hair holding up a blank sign. She is wearing an off-white silky gown. The background are some pastel coloured pink lilies, and sky in the colour of pastel blue, yellow, and green.

Sign should be above her head. The lady has Caucasian features.

She should have a face that looks angry and determined to right a wrong. Also, use some bold outlines.

Sure, it doesn’t exactly have character like the one in the OP.

But I also put almost no effort in prompting (less than a minute). And Bing (Dall-E) isn’t exactly the pinnacle of image generation AI. And the whole tech will only get better by time.

The problem is that it doesn’t even have to be “very good”; the majority of people are entirely happy with “good enough”. It’s not hard to imagine how the whole thing will threaten and disrupt so many industries.

just worlds to run around in

Which, ironically, was why I only played the main quest in Starfield vanilla. Running around empty, boring planets, with copy-pasted dungeons (there’s only, what, 10 varieties?), felt like nothing but a colossal waste of time.

So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

Most clients can show split votes. So a 0 upvote is different to 1up 1down.

On that note, not a single person downvoted your comment 🥲

where the policy is, what the policy is.

And most of all, why the policy is.

Well the open source crowd is probably one of the most diverse communities in so many ways.

Everything from wife-killers, toenail-eaters, to geniuses that rolled a one in social skills. From Mexico, to Israel, to Indonesia. From a kid in the library who can’t afford a computer, to millionaires running a data centre in their basement.

Diversity is one-third of DEI, which currently is public enemy number one. So here we are…

Mexico is still part of North America. So Gulf of America is a better, more inclusive name.

Wait… Inclusion is one-third of DEI. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT! We need to change it back!

Omg I have a photo of my toddler making that exact face. This pic will go right next to it and straight to the printer!

PS. Obligatory thank you for keeping the community alive. I been on and off Lemmy for a while (over a few accounts) and this space has been a constant. One of the very few places that shine a light in this bleak world.

They repeated it multiple times throughout the article. Not to mention that they also misspelt Strömmer. It’s 2025, there’s no excuse for it.

I just checked and nearly choked. I’ve played every single Civ game ever made. As much as I love the series, there’s no way in hell I’m paying AU$160 for a base game.
