Keep in mind these kids are as young as 8. I don’t know any 8 year olds that have 100 bucks to spent on a phone. Also their parents would find out immediately.

The bad guys in Brother from 1997 aren’t white I guess.

How did ya get your save file from your DS onto an emulator?

Socialism is a mode of production and distribution where public ownership is the principal aspect of the economy, and the working classes control the state. The latter was decided in 1949 with the completion of the revolution.

I’m sorry comrade they must have forgotten to invite me to this meeting. Glad you made it and can now report to us!

Jokes aside, how is this different than than a large public sector? Is Belgium only singled out because it doesn’t have a “proletarian” gouvernment? You have not definied what that even is. Just because his party doesn’t call itself Belgian Workers Party or something like that is Bart De Wever less proletarian than Xi Jinping or Li Keqiang? His parents were shop owners and railway workers. Xi and Li are both high ranking bureaucrats who are the children of other high ranking bureaucrats. Not one of them, nor their parents for that matter, were democratically elected.

If socialism is indeed as you say large public involvement in the economy and the working classes controlling the state Belgium is far more socialist than the PRC. They even have trade unions, so direct worker representation with considerable political power which China does not have. China has one trade union for everyone and it’s part of/controlled by the gouvernment. You don’t have to be a genius or even a socialist to come to the conclusion that this is a bad idea.

The CPC is overwhelmingly proletarian.

It’s so proletarian it’s largely made up of chinese buisnessmen like Jacky Ma.

Using China as an example for socialism is either very far removed from reality or cynical.

They can even make Pokemon games fun to play as an adult.

This is laughable, Belgium has a larger public sector than China (percentage not total).

You are literally agreeing that socialism is “when gouvrmint does (owns) stuff”.

It is also run by a proletarian, communist party.

Oh my bad Carry on commrade, hopfully one day in the future you will be able to visit the workers paradise that is China. 共产党万岁！

It will be 79%

I like this quote from Timnit Gebru (who has written 3 books on the subject):

“Can a bridge decide to collapse?” The whole “Oh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy? There are permits you have to acquire. There are supposed to be tests. When you ask about the bridge collapsing itself, you’ve lost the thread.

Fair enough. I guess whichever game came out when you were 12-16 is going to be peak for you, so D3 for me, D1 for others and for some even D4.

Real “dad came back with the milk” moment 🥲

But seriously, the game was never really dead. The community is quite active still, the subreddit has loads of monthly active users and it takes less than a minute to find games. Small balance changes and Updates still happen almost every month.

Blizzard has stopped supporting the pro scene years ago but that never stopped casual players from enjoying the game.

The game is still quite active, takes less than a minute to find a ranked game.

I like Diablo and unlike the old heads who don’t actually play the game, I think 3 was peak.

Sure, it wasn’t super difficult dark fantasy dungeon crawling like D2 but shit was fun, well designed and had good variety. It’s a good power fantasy of you being overpowered and killing hundreds of mobs and still getting nice power spikes in the form of rare items that actually make a difference unlike in 4.

Last expansion was this year (I had to look it up). Didn’t even remember it coming out.

In my book I write, “Can a bridge decide to collapse?” The whole “Oh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy? There are permits you have to acquire. There are supposed to be tests. When you ask about the bridge collapsing itself, you’ve lost the thread.

Quite a good quote.

I also like her observations about lawmakers reacting to media coverage of AI breakthroughs and not listening to people from the fields where the supposed breakthroughs have happend (like with the maths problem recently).

Cheers!

That’s great actually!

The thing is: I would get them too if I could afford it.

For the headphone stuff which is quite cool tech actually, I don’t like wearing in ear headphones and they basically work as headphones without going into your ears. The Ai stuff seems honestly creepy but I’m sure they legally can’t force you to use it in Europe and the camera stuff seems okay.

I miss playing in Arcades.

Wait no, not like that!

Firefox is the only browser I have installed and it’s been my default for years.

It’s a known issue. It’s been reported on google play but I guess they haven’t fixed it yet.
