I just can’t see you changing any minds or naturally fostering a materialist understanding in this manner

They aren’t trying to do either, they want to rage bait people into debating them so they can le epically SMASH them with facts and logic.

The highest rated comment has an answer in the reply and they’re both older than your comment?

Weird forced flex but I guess it tracks

Mistakes are fine, it’s how you handle them. Instead of saying, “huh, I’m not sure if you’re right or not; let’s look it up, or just move on” he decided to adamantly defend his (incorrect) position.

Kinda like what you’re doing! Hahey!

“The only red flag was the red flag”

I get that these are “sticking it to the AI companies”, but aren’t we also supposed to be freaking out about how much energy these things consume and pollution caused by them?

They’re mad at #2 because #1 gives them all the money they need to do #3. So why do they need my money too?

This isn’t a name and shame situation. You don’t know that the game devs did anything wrong, so “naming and shaming” them would only exacerbate their problem if the negative reviews are unwarranted.

Ahhhh. That makes sense. Thanks

I don’t see what you’re talking about, zip tie or poorly parked SUV

Close, I DM’ed a short-lived DnD campaign a year ago.

I remember having a thought one day as a young kid while interacting with a DVD main menu (the kind that had clips from the movie playing in the background, and would play a specific clip depending on what menu you went in to).

“This is basically how video games work, there’s a bunch of options you can choose from and depending on what you do it shows you something. Videogames are just DVD menus with way more options.”

I grew up to not be a programmer.

Can’t you just check your bank account?

I have “saved” a lot of money over the years … yet my bank account doesn’t reflect that.

What the hell was the point of your original question 😂

For real. I opened Lemmy the other day and had to block someone for the first time because they’d spammed the shit post community with pages of them within a few minutes. Like I enjoy viral memes as much as the next guy, but one person completely overran my entire feed from dozens of communities by posting what amounts to the same thing over 100 times in 2 minutes. I genuinely don’t get why people are trying to convince everyone they think it’s funny or enjoyable.

It doesn’t really. It’s a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.

The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don’t think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.

They’re building a school near where I live and they’ve got these things all around the site. Problem is, there’s an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you’re halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn’t barreling towards you at 30MPH.

God, I used to bike around here.

I don’t think we’re really getting anywhere with this, but that’s kinda my point.

Take a large pan and set it off-center on the smallest burner on your stove top. The entire pan will get warm, yes, but the part directly over the flame is going to get the hottest.

The cpu is the flame, the pan is the phone. If you have to wrap the pan in some sort of protective coat, but want to effectively dissipate heat with the smallest hole possible, the smartest design would be to place the opening over the source of the heat, not the center of heat sink.

If the cpu is in the top corner of the phone, the top corner of the phone is going to get significantly warmer than the rest of the phone (in terms of thermal dissipation). Putting a vent hole in the center where there’s less heat while having the warm part covered makes no sense.

More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they’re the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.

If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that’d be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.

Lots of phones use the aluminum body as a heat sink, so it kind of is how it works.
