Again, fair enough and thanks for the response. I put a lot more thought into this and realized I’m being very short sighted and, dare I say pessimistic. Modern Capitalism is absolutely fucked and I think ultimately we’re on the same page… I don’t believe police or capitalism are an inherent force of nature. Maybe some virus has indeed come up on us.
It’s really hard for me not to be a pessimist in today’s climate, figuratively and literally. My apologies. I appreciate your points
The balls would just roll right off the cliff in every direction lol
Sorry- yeah I meant the dongles, not the docks. And yeah, no passthrough power on the puck either.
I’ve had similar experiences as you with the docks, lol.
I am so sorry. Comcast is truly a scourge
I was gonna say, Dell makes a ton of crap but their dongles are solid. I’ve been using the DA310 “puck” for over half a decade and it still works like new. I think they’re like 50 quid.
The other thing is to just avoid those no-name Amazon ones like the fucking plague. I’ve worked IT long enough to know that they pretty much all die within a year, that is if they function at all.
Thanks for the interesting Chairman Mao write up, Chairman Meow.
Fair enough - a societal virus that’s been a part of our species since as far back as the stone age. Hoard the resources and kill the other tribes that pose a potential threat to you and yours. Our species has probably had wars for resources for hundreds of thousands of years.
We haven’t had the ability or capacity to start majorly affecting the planet’s ecosystems and atmosphere until, what, the last couple hundred years?
If only we could pick these alien’s brains on how we might go about solving the basic curse of human greed… Reminds me of this comic:
Stupid children clearly don’t understand that trump is more important than my family
On holiday and I almost collapsed while ordering a doner kebab in Helsinki yesterday because I forgot to eat after walking around the city for 5 hours straight lol. This meme resonated hard
I would seriously confront this dude if you haven’t already and assuming you have a chance to. This type of thing drives me nuts.
Burn it down. Wait, no, that would contribute to climate change
Preach, dude… I’m sadly guilty of this and need to reestablish a good local collection of music again like back in the iPod days.
I get your stance, I do, but you don’t think humans are seriously fucking the planet?
I put a lot of thought into your comment today and I’d honestly love to respectfully debate you on this subject. I think immediately labelling people who are worried about over population as “eco-fascists” is really quite odd and makes me a bit worried.
Yes, the main problem is corporations and greed but doesn’t it all still come down to our species? What would aliens say? Oh sorry, you’re good, it’s those other ones in your species that are the bad ones… ?
I don’t specifically have an anti-overpopulation stance myself for the record, I just find your terminology rather … jaded.
By the tone of your comment you’re clearly quite hostile so I’m not sure I should even be engaging, but I felt that I had to. I’d really be happy to debate though, maybe I would learn something.
Lemmy always in with the super grim takes. Jeez guys can’t I just open Lemmy for a sec and look at a meme without getting terribly depressed? Mostly sarcasm but also on the real
Wait, you can’t fabricate liver sausage from nothing?
Your brain acclimates to being in VR the more you play so the headaches should disappear after a few sessions.
I’d say the issue these days is there aren’t enough fresh VR titles coming out.
