Their bird population never recovered because even migratory birds have their fixed routes and when you exterminate thousands upon thousands of swarms that have settled there for countless generations it breaks the cycle. I guess environmental pollution also doesn’t help. It‘s not like bird populations are doing great anywhere these days but with that history it‘s extra hard for them.

I’ve seen it a while ago and immediately knew this is exactly what’s going on. Didn’t know it was this wide spread though.

It’s the perfect weapon to spy on other countries for them because any bird would stick out like a sour thumb in China so it can’t be used against them. Meanwhile in other countries it wouldn’t even be looked at.

What fine? I thought this new law allows it. Or is it one of those instances where training your AI on copyrighted material and distributing it is fine but actually sourcing it isn‘t so you can‘t legally create a model but also nobody can do anything if you have and use it? That sounds legally very messy.

Sorry Bill but it’s too late and not enough. I still want to eat the rich and that includes you.

Although I‘ll admit if all billionaires did this instead of - oh you know - investing in fascism and actively dismembering democracy globally I might feel different about this. But as things stand I am done with billionaires. We cannot coexist. Simple as that.

There are plenty handhelds in all shapes and sizes in that price range for exactly this. How many more do we need?

I‘ll still buy their controller because you can‘t sue Chinese companies either so what‘s the difference? However I‘ll use it for PC gaming. No way I‘m going back to their ecosystem. Those days are gone.

So this is it? The internet is done and finished. Killed by bots.

Anyone who is mad enough to visit the US for attending a sports game in this day and age almost deserves that treatment. Like, are you ok?

Sounds like Minecraft or more recent Zelda titles but for what’s worth there is still a lot of untapped potential there.

Quite often they openly refer to Xitter posts as a source for simple game mechanics when the game has come out already. They don‘t even play the games they report on anymore.

Would‘ve played the hell out of a new Team Fortress but I‘m completely burned out from MOBAs personally. Invite-Only is also something I deeply reject as a concept no matter the reason.

You see, this community just really hates PvP for some reason. Apparently playing games with other people rather than with yourself is an inconceivable concept to some. Unless it‘s coop that is. And I too love a good coop experience but PvP is quite literally the mother of all game types so it‘s strange to see how much hate it gets in this particular corner of the internet.

So will they give back the most anticipated game 2025 award now or how does this work? Lol

We had that situation in 1930s Germany and it was decided to address issues instead of banning Hitler’s Party even when they could.

Because the theater of all mediums is known to be entirely run by greed from top to bottom? No passion for the arts. You rather they don’t get paid for their labor? What’s your angle here?

I think you’d be surprised what some Chinese officials would do for a Green Card. Their economy isn’t exactly stable either and they’re at constant risk of becoming a scape goat for someone higher up the ladder and being thrown into a ditch. They would have to look over their shoulder every time they go outside for the rest of their life but they do that already.

It’s interesting they call it a lie when it can’t even think but when any person is caught lying media will talk about “untruths” or “inconsistencies”.

Haven’t heard of that and will look into that. Thank you.

I fear communities are lacking resources and structure to handle the masses. It‘s something corporations already struggle with but they house like 10000 times more active users. One way to go around that was mentioned above and suggested that new users may keep creating new instances and communities so a few places don‘t just explode in size. But from my experience, if a community already covers a topic, there won‘t be much competition and we end up with a power mod environment (Reddit) at best and instances going dark from overload (hug of death) at worst.

But I don‘t want to sound too bleak about all of this. In the end these are challenges that someone might already work on.
