  • some of us even doomscroll

    That would help prevent burn in.

    You’d have to have those pixels showing the same color for quite a long time, like months to years. We don’t typically have our phones on that long, and with more modern OS versions, there aren’t really that many things that stay on the screen anyway. What used to be burned in on phones were the navigation bar at the bottom. Gestures are default now. The icons at the top aren’t actually static for long. And phone screens turn off after a few minutes. Dark mode being popular is a big help because the brightness of the screen is a factor. All OLEDs can get burn in, we just don’t have as many of the things that lead to burn in as before, plus a few things here and there meant to help alleviate it.

    I’m away just let the screensaver save my screen?

    Yup.

    In that case why would anyone ever worry about burn it

    Ignorance and the fact that you mostly hear about the people with problems not the ones who just bought their monitors and carried along with their lives.

    Consider that almost everyone worrying about burn in has a phone with an OLED screen, that they’re not worried about. What happened with phones will happen with TVs if they ever get cheap enough to really compete with LCD.


  • But it would be an easy war of attrition no? How many died/almost died because Texas couldn’t handle a lil iced? How long could those states last without resources from outside? How much of their materials are usable raw?

    Do the “much guns” states actually have a decent bit of knowledgeable people? Being able to shoot a gun is fine and all but a war is far more than that.

    The biggest worry would probably be the ones already in the military who could/would easily sabotage any efforts. And yes, drones are easily beating rifles when it comes to depleting each other’s resources.

    I know fuck-all about guns and war but my armchair is warmed up.




  • How do you stay accountable when you don’t set limits in your own term?

    You don’t. Even if they’re in office, there’s nothing you can do. What do you think they’d do to Biden? Jail him? Fine him? You vote in people who align with what you want put in place, then have the separate parts of government check each other.

    I don’t mind long-term goals, we need them, but there should be milestones

    I addressed that in my previous comment. Nobody’s wasting time and resources. Such a limitation would cripple every president and make them damn near useless. They’d spend most of their time in office recalculating milestones, which would be incredibly small, at best, and impossible at worst.

    frankly I’m surprised it’s apparently an unpopular opinion.

    Because it kinda indicates that you haven’t really thought about this or you’re just not aware of how things happen in life. You’re coming off as management that’s never worked on the floor and have no idea about what’s actually feasible. It’s a good way to have everybody despise you.

    Using this as an example, let’s say it was done at the start of Biden’s 1st year, what percentage should he set per what time period, and do you really expect car manufacturers to recreate their vehicles each period?

    Manufacturers need time to meet targets. And the final percentage would be incredibly small, because it would be only four years. Whenever you see a product hit the market, development has starts years prior.




  • Finally, a sane response. Of course they’ll “sound similar” because they’re both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.

    I’m more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I’m assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.

    This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything

    Because then they’ll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it’ll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody’s going to want to work with them under a similar contract.

    Well, they get the snuff out competition and get to hold on to IPs. The thing is though: People are saying that there are good indie games, but I won’t ever hear shit about said games unless I specifically go looking for them, which will almost never happen nowadays.

    Even when I allow ads, game ads are pretty rare. AAA games were almost impossible to miss because there’s always enough buzz, positive or negative, for the big ones.




  • You are implying that you’re for the bans, or at the very least, that they’re reasonable because of some nuance. You literally do that again here in this comment:

    people that comment on this will probably have less information than necessary to make a reasonable argument.

    The default conclusion that most will have is that banning homeless people is a really shitty thing to do. What extra info do we need to reasonably come to the conclusion? Where’s the nuance? I even went and read the first half or so and skimmed the rest(because it seemed repetitive and is more lengthy than I wanted to read) but there’s nothing there that even attempted to change my mind.




  • I’d be thinking more about how they’d plan to do it. Trump does have the Secret Service.

    But good luck impeaching a man who can make his enemies disappear with a waive of his hand.

    Friend, that’s why you just sign something in your office with the doors closed and not make it public.

    Honestly, I didn’t even think enough about the whole thing enough to realize that the President could possibly get away with murder. Wouldn’t that make it an obvious ruling then? Could then appoint new judges to the Supreme Court. There would magically be a few openings all of a sudden after all. How is this ruling really something they’re actually considering?
