Supposedly, I am a human, who does very human things.
You know exactly what nuance that “90%” means. I’m sure you’re willing to dismiss many popular multiplayer games as all “not being worth it” but not most people. Thats of course on top of the other reasons people have.
Has nothing to do with my GPU. That’s irrelevant to the points made.
Ha ha, andrew bad, I agree, but…
You can do research and find a bunch more sources than even the wikipedia article lists, but in essence, if you are at all sexually active as an adult, you almost certainly already have herpes.
Just reality.
The stigma shouldn’t be there for something this mundane.
This is stupid though. IP addresses in many homes rotate, so IP ban lists are utterly ineffective and could very well ban the wrong people.
Also fuck giving saudi arabia money. Sometimes its unavoidable, but this is a video game. There are other video games, but there is no regime worse than the saudi regime.
“bUt ThEy DoNt OwN tHeM yEt”
The price has been settled on, so any success from here on out absolutely does directly benefit the saudis.
The point of note, is that if we didn’t have so many freeloaders, rich or middling do nothing jobs, we would have plenty more time to explore our passions.
Meh, I’m not too bothered. I need more time standing anyways.
It really is an absurd set of choices to me.
If people can’t rely on your products working well for typical lengths of ownership from launch, even without the super strength, radioactive mammoth in the room of NVidia, its going to be a hard sell to sell your products.
I just refuse to believe development costs enough for this to be a rational decision for them.
Maybe they think people will see this, and then think nothing of it when they go to buy their next GPU? I mean to play devils advocate from their POV, many people don’t look deeply into companies and just buy based on a quick look at benchmarks.
The thing is, many buy off of even less than that, and if their enthusiast friends are telling them that AMD is not a brand to trust with GPUs, then theres going to be a big reputation problem. A reputation problem they’re already struggling with from years of being known for bad drivers, that they only recently shook.
when they stop support on windows you can always move to Linux and continue to get support for your AMD cards for likely years to come
You know this is not applicable for the vast majority of people lets be honest. Most GPU buyers either have some multiplayer games with “incompatible” anti cheat that they want to play, or simply don’t want the extra hassle (that linux enthusiasts would like you to believe does not exist), of switching to a new OS both from the inertia of already knowing a prior OS and from the reality that there are simply more hitches in a linux experience for a normal person due to less development support both from app makers and distro maintainers (purely due to less money and people).
To me, this seems like pretty much what they were expecting to do in the first place, and a classic case of pushing too far on purpose, just to back track to pretty much where they wanted to be. A plan that is a classic among big corporations.
I don’t think this is good enough, because it still would make future customers wary of buying their products, just to have support for new features dropped, in some cases, just days after they buy the product.
Some could argue that they don’t “owe” anyone that, but this is how the tech industry has worked for a while with its fast moving software pace. If NVidia, their only major rival, and even Intel, both continue to offer full fledged support for far longer than AMD, this continues to really dampen the reasons one would go for an AMD card.
Now AMD cards will have:
Shorter prioritized driver support
Less game support from devs (due to their lack of market share)
Fewer games covered by their game specific features (FSR4 Suite) than their main competitor (NVidia with DLSS and FG)
Trailing feature development (on average) when compared to their main rival NVidia
And users will be expected to accept this, all for a discount of typically just 50 dollars for GPUs of similar raw performance.
That seems like a very raw deal to me, and that is very unfortunate given the already greater than 90% market share NVidia commands in gaming and even higher market share in enterprise compute (AI included).
LMAO indicates something a person actually does, whereas ROFL isn’t really a thing people do, so its more of a meme than it is useful.
That’s my guess anyways. Like the latter is less mature because of that and so people use it less.
The rhetoric in here…
People, third parties will kill your chances. That is a fact. This is true in all first past the post/winner takes all systems, but especially the US one where the parties can just sandbag each other and do nothing, meaning the conservatives win.
Secondly, you may like to make some guillotine memes, but lets be real. You’re not that guy. You aren’t planning some secret spec ops assassination of the crew behind trump. You didn’t do it for any of the lead up, and you won’t do it now.
Thirdly, if your progressive sweetheart (and believe me, I’d prefer them too), got into the white house, you very same people would quickly get angry at them and say they aren’t doing enough because you completely fail to understand your own system and this very next point.
If you actually want to see a turn around, it will be long, boring, slow and unfun. You will not get big results in 1, 2, or even 3 terms. It doesn’t work that way.
You not only have to keep democrats winning, but also have to slowly flip enough seats to progressive politicians within said party that they significantly change the parties voting patterns and leadership. Its not just that either, you have to get enough of the population to vote for people, a lot of whom you will hate, that they get a super majority in the senate, at the same time as they have a simple majority in the house, and at the same time as they have a president. Only when all 3 of those things happen simultaneously could you possibly even hope to have the types of changes we all want to see implemented implemented.
There is no other way within this system. Its built to be slow and has more inertia than you can imagine. You’re not about to uproot that system, so you have to understand it, even if you don’t like it.
All the more reason to point out at every opportunity when they have 2 different things they’d love people to treat as one.
You realize this is referring to email?
If everyone was idealistic about every aspect of life, we’d all commit suicide very rapidly.
You might think this is super important, but to someone else, the reach of mainstream social media might be worth it for they care about an issue they feel is more important than yours that needs attention, or just straight up focus on other things.
You a vegan? You have solar panels? You buy clothes that you are absolutely 100% sure comes from fairly paid people the whole way down the line? You buy a fairphone? You using a linux pinephone? You… Its never ending.
Purity dramatics like that of your comment arent actually helpful and just demoralize people who are likely there with you 99% of the way generally.
If you wanted to know why you post was removed, you should have asked the original and try to work with them.
You clearly do not understand how reddit moderation works. Unless mods actively choose to be known, your message goes to a general queue one of any number of mods can read, respond to, and hide from the other mods. Worse still, you have no idea which mod took action, and in this case it was an auto or AI mod first.
With comments like yours, I’m sure they’ll soon be disillusioned with Lemmy too.
Turns out while other problems certainly exist, the biggest problem with social media is the social part.
You’ve gotten it all wrong. That’s the plausible deniability lie.
The truth is they’d rather be hurt to see marginalized people hurt worse than see improvements to everyone quality of life.
Alternatively, these feelings about this post are falling prey to fascist tactics. Freedom of Speech is a concept of the past and they will keep “joking” about it as they clamp down more and more till criticism is silenced out. The whole time, these feelings will have been unwillingly supporting it by dismissing the carefully orchestrated circus show of smoke, rights violations and mirrors as merely being the mirrors, circus and smoke.
Just 1 part of the misunderstandings. Both can go to either area even if they are typically found in their respective ones.
Further, most who have herpes, even in the crotch region, will still show no recognizable symptoms and be difficult to test for.
Again, especially considering that condoms are not practically effective for preventing spread, and the results are typically not the horrendous cases you’ll have remembered, the stigma still isn’t worth it.
I mean, I suppose you could osculate and perform cunnilingus with dental damns, fellatio with condoms and no contact, and copulate and or engage in anal coitus in full body latex, but let’s be real, because you won’t be doing that, and most people who have it wont know they do, its the stigma that’s the biggest problem; the same fear that drives knee-jerk reactions.
