Well, but they involve themselves with mods quite a bit: https://www.beamng.com/resources/

Because Beamng runs their own mod repository which is even accessible ingame. This isnt about some random mod hosted on a randrom 3rd party site. This mod was released and distributed over servers and a services which Beamng as a company runs themselves. So reading a whole ass month after the incident my system and my passwords were potentially compromised fucking sucks. I’m not blaming them that the mod got uploaded. I’m blaming them that they made no attempts to publicly communicate: “yo, a mod containing malware got uploaded to our service and 3000 users downloaded it before we got informed that it was infected. If you happen to have downloaded the mod in x timeframe your system was likely compromised. Sorry yadda yadda”

I had the mod installed in the timeframe were it had the malware. Fuck me.

But what really pisses me off is that i read about it first here on lemmy. Not on the Beamng forums/repository, not in the game, not in the steam announcments of the game. Like you distributed malware over your platform and the policy of you fucks is just to stay silent? Meh.

okay who else was really confused because they only relate aeiou to that 14 year old moonbase alpha video on youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo johnmaddenjohnmaddenjohnmadden

tbh i dont care what theoretically is written in law. what i care about are the fuckers who light up the 200m infront of them with their led lights and with that burn up my corneas. everyday multiple times. dont get me wrong, led lights are awesome. i use them myself. but there are too much assholes who only think about them self. even if with 30km/h you certainly dont need the visibility of cars full bright.

am i overreacting? maybe. idk. but these fuckheads drive me mad everyday.

stop! badly adjusted way too bright bike lights are the most hated things in my life. i have nothing left but spite for them. i’m activily holding myself back right now. i could sputter nonsensical insults for hours because of them. One time i started to carry a stupid bright flash light with myself just to blind them fuckers back. since then i grown up. but awfafhasifhaoshfoahgoiahsdoigasddfafas asfdda fuck

true, if you’re in the driver seat these lights are awesome. I worked as a driver for a few years. Mostly in old shitboxes but sometimes i had the chance drive these modern marvels of technology. no doubt its way better for your eyes and concentration if you are in the driver seat. but for anybody else its just soooo bad. even if you steer a vehicle with fancy LEDs the other car with LEDs will blind you. but as a pedestrian, on a bicycle or in a shitbox they just straight up fuck up your cornea.

as a nerd who dabbled with photography in the past the diagonal shot of the interior is just sooooo good. damn

the lighting is near perfect.

no need to get personal.

i’m still amazed how these fucking lights got through regulation in germany. ‘everything’ is regulated here. but these blinding pieces of shit got through. i know the answer: money. as in cars, the crown jewel of the german economy. i hate them sooooooo much.

i’m still proud of myself that i got rid of the four different scart cables i had left in box a few years ago. one of them was even transparent blue. a real looker. it really hurt. but i live my best life since then

and thats why you fold over the end. with that you also realize you’ve become old and like your dad. but thats life i guess.

Nope.

Atleast from my perspective there isnt any hope left for the ‘big picture’. Everything is just utterly fucked. Nothing left to do but to live your best life. For me it still involves living by my ideals. Just for my sanity and because it feels right. But tbh were just fucked and i try not to think about the implication of the future anymore.

I was always a pessimist tbh. But jfc even with that in mind its all so fucked up rn.

As an european i feel flattered with that assesment. But that would be really bad handling of IT-security. I truly never want to get hold of the ‘recycled’ phone of high ranking politician.

holy moly, look how fucking crisp that old ass meme is. no dschiffpegg artifacts whatsoever. my eyeballs cut themself on the sharpness of the pixels.

anyway heres some goobicii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQQW-On0uY

Interesting take but i’d say the real issue here is that breaded meat shouldnt come in contact with sauce when receiving the meal on a plate. Its not about denying sauce for the sauce enjoyers. Its about choice. The sauce should be served seperatly in a saucière. With that approach you can have sauce and the breaded crunch too.

I always enjoyed browsing ‘new’. Both here and on that other site you might know of. Personally i dont like the bots here. They just clutter the timeline IMHO. I visit ‘social media’ for a feed which is pre-curated by humans. I’d rather use RSS if i wanted a constant stream of news articles without curation by others. The problem i see on lemmy is that in rare cases the bot posts still get user engagement which i miss out on if i just outright filter the bots out.

Its nothing i lose sleep over and the situation as is… is alright i guess. But if i had anything to say and had a choice i would outright ban them. But tbh i didnt think through the consquences.

I’d say its mostly sample size. Lemmy is still small. The ever so slightly off feeling interactions have a higher chance of getting noticed because they dont get buried under hundreds or even thousands of other posts most of the time. So its pretty easy to come across discussion threads which werent upvoted by the hivemind for beeing ‘normal’.

my evidence for it beeing ai: that sad bit of parsley in the top right. it would had never made it into the picture if this was real. considering how much effort would have gone into prepping up the meal perfectly.
