Not sure about Father Ted, but Minecraft and Harry Potter were made by bigots. This user is trying to "erase" their creators' involvement, by attributing it to our lady and saviour Hatsune Miku, may she be forever blessed.
If you were already producing watering cans, yeah, kinda. They're pivoting for pure profit right now, and when the bubble bursts, they'll just go back to selling 2000€ "consumer" GPUs. Maybe they'll sit on some inventory, but the sheer profits at the moment will cover for that.
Then it's probably not a good idea to be on Lemmy. It's written in Rust, which is a programming language funded by a lot of unapologetically evil big tech companies, like Microsoft and Google. It was also initially created by Mozilla, a company with heavy associations with Google and which has even become quite pro-AI.
I'd say using tools funded by evil counts as "loosely associated".
This is basically the reverse of how the regular gaming communities treat Linux. Take a best case for "your team", a worst case for the other, and then pretend it's always that way.
There's a lot of good ways to explain what makes Windows bad without being disingenuous :3
Both celebrate industrialization and the exploitation of the natural world as heroic undertakings without any regard to the value of nature.
They really don't. Satisfactory, as has been explained already, is more direct, however Factorio isn't glorifying itself either if you look even half a Millimeter below the surface.
Have you ever listened to the soundtrack for instance? It is not grand or glorious, especially on Nauvis it mostly sounds slightly ominous. Also the way factories develop, intentionally or not, often resembles the way cancer spreads. And of course enemies attack you because of pollution and the plants around you die because of it. That even harms you because that means more pollution going towards enemies.
It doesn't have a Glados inspired voice constantly making fun of you and telling you to be a good corporate doggy, but it absolutely doesn't display itself as heroic in any way.
Over the last one or two years I feel like Rust haters have gotten even louder than the Rust evangelists. For every person who declares "Rewrite it in Rust!" I see two or three people saying how they hate Rust or how pointless it is and so on.
I'd encourage use of StreetComplete, you can walk around your local area and get lots of points to survey with data on street widths or businesses' opening times. Imagine if all the people who were busy with Pokemon Go used that, OpenStreetMap would be nigh perfect in terms of data.
When I see a product I already use being promoted by YouTubers in sponsored segments, I immediately question if I should be using it, even if I'd have happily continued had I never seen that sponsorship.
Sorry, I should've checked before posting
A quick reverse image search suggests it's from the Webtoon "Monsters and Girls" made by Idolmantises
Are you male or female?
My dad is male and my mom is female, so basically, I'm mixed
I bought an HP Envy, one of these convertible laptop thingies, when I didn't know any better. The hinge broke about a month after the warranty expired. Repair costs (at a local repair shop, but still) were like 200€ because apparently I had to buy a whole new top cover for the damn repair to work
Anyways, I'm gonna buy a Framework laptop next because fuck going through that again
It is shocking how well-designed the Affinity apps feel on the iPad. I'm not entirely fond of everything being stuffed away in menus, but I see why they did it, and overall I've rarely felt so positively surprised about pleasant UX.
Now if only they hadn't been bought by Canva… well, at least I still have my old Affinity 2 Suite.
