Taylor S. influence has grown.

Steam’s UI is tolerable, but inconsistent. In a SteamDeck, OK, but in a phone? Idk.

I get that this isn’t meant that seriously.

It’s not about software. Program, PROGRAM were just placeholders for content. I know you can think more abstract and argue in better faith than this.

Hero stories reinforce that “honour, justice and even civilisation itself” (as a placeholder for vaguely progressive ideas) would need to be installed by powerful individuals aka Great Man theory fiction.

Why do hero stories need to be told?

It’s quite useful for stuff like PROGRAM and Program in the same directory where PROGRAM is the program itself and Program is some unrelated files about the program. Bad example, but the case stands.

Some external habits work for me, like setting an alarm that reminds of something; this only works well with repeating stuff or when I’m not stressed when I set the alarm.

Bad faith: “Are you really transporting those products back and forth to test?”

Good Better faith: Seeing and testing furniture doesn’t imply not using shipping.

Speculation: For many, use value of products seem less important compared to short-term novelty value, i.e. owning over using. Celebrating ownership might require immediate access regardless of location, showing ability to HAUL the products then displays further power.

IKEA started as a furniture shipping company (thus the flat packages and the warehouse aesthetic) and many furniture companies like IKEA still ship to your doorstep or beyond often for a similar or better price compared to what individual transport costs.

Bravo, you solved it. Solution-oriented. Climate breakdown averted.

It’s like one those corporate carriages at pride marches; the pride part is super wholesome, the corporate part is a bit strange. Well, riding (in) trains is endorsable - but passenger transport could also be public.

Also, steamy and trains…

I’d wink their carriage anyways.

Oh no, disagreement on lemmy! Quick, call them tankie while ignoring actual tankies!

Posting climate denial without context is still climate denial and those dictatorships have to deal with the reality of climate change mid-term as well.

Framing opposition to climate denial as red-auth is naive.

We actually have only have 0.5 billion years left before the earth becomes uninhabitable for life.

I think this is relevant, because evolution thus doesn’t have that much time left. Sure, 0.5 billion years ago there were no real land-dwellers, but still. As a layperson, I’m sceptical that evolution could create a spacefaring species in that timespan again.

Short term yes

Are you sure decoupling (alone) has the desired effect here? Given the ‘Suburban Dream’, society might sprawl even better, because there would be less constraints then.

In my understanding, suburbia might become cultural (ie. people don’t arrange themselves with the sprawl longer, they embrace and dream of it) once a certain threshold of sprawl or its countermeasures is achieved.

Catch-22, don’t build Suburbia (aka don’t live in and pay for it) AND drive less. On a positive note, using public transit and sharing space has the opposite effect.

Why is it so hard to tolerate cute, not-yet-dangerous beings, lol…? I mean this chonk looks like it could just chew that leg off aah
