What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I'm not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don't see what the intent behind it is.

I have it, I started it for maybe an hour, I have no idea how the rest of it is.

There's nothing stopping me from downloading it again and continuing the campaign.

What are people's favourite first person single player campaigns, no third person games??

[-] Lengsel@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, some people move the goalposts when their statements get defeated, I am talking about, or asking, why do people need protection and silencing from some who makes a statement those goes against what they believe in?

There's no reason to react so strongly. Simply don't engage, ignore it, and continue on with life.

Beliefs and opinions have never hurt anyone, only action hurts someone. A person can only offend you if you allowthem and give them the power to offend. If you think someone's statement is repulsive and forget about what you read, they can't do anything to bother you.

In a true debate, I expect humility and dignity, and anything less than that is only them trying to win, it's not a conservational debate to challege each other so iron can sharpen iron.

Trolls are everywhere, all a person can do is ignore them and leave. When someone is clearly trolling in the sense of being insulting, any reaction only freeds

What I am referancing is when someone states a personal view that does invoke a reaction, there's no intellectual curiousity to see where that comes from, it's easier to ban them or try to get them suspended, which only proves how weak they are as a person because because it shows that they need to be protected from any belief they can't defend against.

What is your issue with libertarians, and what type of libertarian are you talking about? There are libertarians that I am strongly for, and libertarians that I despise everything they believe, but each ofthose are different types. It would be a misnomer or a mistake to simply lump all of them as being libertarian.

For example I believe left libertarians can cause damage because they want zero social restrictions, and right libertarians understand better about self control or self restraint and humility.

I strongly agree and support everything you said.

For example, I'm religious, and strict at that, but when I talk to an athiest, their atheism has no affect on my religious devotion. I can still talk to them about music groups, shows, current events, games, internet things, and leave God out of the conversation so we can connect as 2 people, show care for each other, and avoid mentioning subjects that we are on opposite ends.

SimpleX (lemmy.ca)
submitted 1 year ago by Lengsel@lemmy.ca to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

Disagreements (lemmy.ca)

Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can't people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

News postings (lemmy.ca)

Why are all of the news postings in here from government funded source, and no independent media?

Zero. I do not tip anywhere, regardless of good service which is their job to do, and for bad service I do not go back again.

Censorship (lemmy.ca)
submitted 1 year ago by Lengsel@lemmy.ca to c/mastodon@lemmy.ml

Why does Mastodon censor people worse than Twitter over hurt feelings? It seems multiple servers or instances prefer to ban account for using a bad word, rather than be an adult and let each person decide if they want to engage or not. Even going so far as ban an entire instance from other servers for not being nice.

Twitter users can block someone to not seem them anymore but accounts are not auto deleted because they used a word on a auto ban naughty list.

I personally condemn insulting other people, but in the real world when someone goes outside, nothing can be done about getting mocked or insulted and people have to continue on with their lives. How are people so scared of words and always run away rather than have the confidence to stand up for themself and punch a bully?

Mastodon will continue to stay wholly irrelevant and pointless until people can handle bad words and insults is unavoidable part of everyday life, unless their too scared to ever go outside again and are even scared to read certain words on a screen.

It could also be that with nVidia making billions from AI computing, it doesn't hurt them if graphics cards don't sell because they own the market anyways, it doesn't matter. If Radeon sales increase but they still make billions from the enterprise, it still doesn't matter. And Intel doesn't exist in that space.

Given that nVidia is a trillion dollar company even with Ada Lovelace not selling, the company is not being affected. Why sell an $800 card when they can sell a $5000 card?

Gamers need to accept that if gaming GPU's don't sell yet the company has billions of dollars coming in, they have no reason to listen or care about gamers. I strongly condemn nVidia's corporatist attitude, but gamers have to either pay nVidia prices or buy from a different company while nVidia continues to get richer without gamers.

Remember when the 1080 Ti was $700?

der8auer only saw a minor decrease on PCI-E 3.0 board. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=uU5jYCgnT7s

One upside, the 4060 is the new $250 1060, I would call the 4060 a good buy. In today's money, the 1060 is $316 USD so a $300 4060 seems like a good buy.

4060 Ti (lemmy.ca)
submitted 1 year ago by Lengsel@lemmy.ca to c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Why are the majority of peoppe so hostile to the 4060 Ti release? Is it only because of the price and people think it should only be $350?

I suspect the internet outrage is more about people either addicted to anger, or outrage for the sake of fitting in with other people's outrage. Similar to everybody's outrage of Ampere, 30 series unavailable, but now there's graphics cards and nothing is selling.

I'm interested to buy the 4070, but at 50% more money than the 4060 Ti but only 25 to 30% more performance than the 4060 Ti, the 4070 is not worth the money. Now I'm thinking to buy a regular 4060 and upgrade to 6000 or 60 series.

I only single play campaigns exclusively, zero multiplayer, and I don't buy games every year because not many games have a campaign I want to play over again. It's been maybe 40 years since I bought new, the free Epic games help.
