Technology@lemmy.ml•The Pentagon Wants to Use AI to Create Deepfake Internet Users
3·2 years agoMore likely, they’ve been doing this for many years and it is basically obsolete, so they are spilling the beans now.
Or not and we really are doomed.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do some people defend the billionaires and capitalism?
1·2 years agoStrong example!
I’m curious if we would call this time period socialism or capitalism being held in check.
The era of high taxes on high income was definitely beneficial to more Americans than today’s low tax structure.

Please cite, with examples from reality, better systems.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do some people defend the billionaires and capitalism?
56·2 years agoRegarding capitalism, in reality, it is the best system we’ve seen so far.
Yes, theoretically other systems could be better for the general public. But in reality, they never have been.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?
3·2 years agoI’d expend your tldr just a bit to include.
- users are stupid
- software is designed to work for both Tom Tecnowizard and Paul Pebkac
- finally, ads ruin everything they touch
Ignorance is bliss in respect to this question.
Random streamer that is popular. That’s it. Ignore and move one.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?
101·2 years agoI’ve used both for years. iPhone is simply the better device compared to any Android phone I’ve tried, including Pixel and other high end phones.
iOS is a better OS for me. I’m a software eng, and so I’m able to do all sorts of things to androids, and some things to iOS, but at the end of the day I want my phone to work and that’s it. I don’t tinker in my free time because I tinker all day at work.
As others have mentioned, the Apple ecosystem is pretty fantastic.
Finally, I’d rather buy hardware/software from a hardware/software company than an advertising company.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you separate the artist as a person from the music?
52·2 years agoYes, always.
So many musicians and other artists are not only complete assholes, but also complete morons. But, I don’t listen to their music for their antics or their intelligence, I listen for the music.
I still listen to Johnny Craig and the Lost Prophets even though I know how horrible they are in real life. Because to me, the music is about the feeling that it elicits in me, not about the creator. I don’t care who made a thing, I care about the thing.
Edit: that said, I’ve not purchased music by those two, and instead pirated it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which games that were reviewed poorly did you actually like?
1·3 years agoBracing for impact… The new Suicide Squad game.
I had a ton of fun with it. It probably isn’t worth $70 yet, but there’s a good foundation of a game there. The combat is a ton of fun, it just needs more content.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What media sources have you outgrown, when, and why?
6·3 years agoEverything that is ad-supported.
Media funded by ads has a different objective than other media. I simply reject advertising in total.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Positive ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ User Reviews Split Unusually From Critics
1·3 years agoThe tutorial takes longer than an hour, but I understand and agree with your point. The game needs more endgame content.
The repetitive missions would be fine if there were also additional difficult goal type activities. It’s a fun core game that needs a solid progression loop.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Positive ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ User Reviews Split Unusually From Critics
818·3 years agoHot take: it is a really good game that is a ton of fun. It got really bad press from “professional” gamers because they can’t play it 10 hours a day for the next year.
The main deficiency with the game is the lack of end game content. The story was fun, the end game is fun, but there isn’t enough of it.

Don’t you love when others prove your point for you? Those downvotes are quite petty.
