Sometimes you just gotta check shit out

Honestly one of the more relatable things he’s done

I mean… most industrial machines have a stop button present on them (though not on the controller). I’m not sure that the sub having a “stop imploding” button on the inside of the hull would have done much good though

The controller is not a life support device. It’s an input device. It is designed with the express purpose as being an input device.

Again, any one million dollar “special submarine input device” they could have manufactured would be less tested and more prone to failure than a simple controller already subject to decades of research and both hands on and automated testing.

I’m not trying to be mean to you and I hope you don’t take it as such, it’s just really standard practice.

I mean. Yeah. It does. The controller didn’t fail during the submarines trip lol. It was perfectly fine the whole time.

Trying to over engineer a specific entirely new device when incredibly developed options already exist is kind of an engineering mindset failure that would only lead to more problems.

This post makes a sweeping assumption Linux users would have women flirt with them.

Yeah I know, it’s actually the same one I use on my CNC machine. The OP just said PlayStation as kind of a general purpose term

Just as a fun fact, it’s actually quite common for industrial machinery and the like to be controlled with a gaming controller. Like, a hundred things wrong with the submarine trip - but the PlayStation controller is genuinely one of the more legitimate aspects.

They’re simply made well, easy to use, and typically extremely durable and long lasting.

Well, true for some words. OP checking out how to spell “consistently” and me trying to figure out effect/affect for a specific case…. Probably less so.

Perplexing, but nice to see!

It’s a really great and faithful remake - but I feel like I heard so little about it that I’m so confused to see new endings and player characters come out for it now months later.

Hoping it has some second wind with the general gaming crowd. Seems like it got overshadowed by RE4 and the latest Zelda game and never hit it off with that kind of TikTok, game of the month crowd

Yeah, it’s advertising. They want to be able to sell you clothes you’ll probably actually wear, video games you’ll actually play, etc. They probably don’t care about your google spell checks as much as they care about what posts you’re liking on your Instagram reels.

On one hand, it sucks to not really have that privacy. On the other hand, people act like if you don’t use a VPN for every single online service today that in 5 years data brokers will sell your exact address to the Islamic Jihad for ten dollars.

It’s interesting that DF has been around for just year and years and whenever I think it’s fully faded out some YouTuber makes a video about it and back it goes.

It’s like a cycle. People play dwarf fortress, people make a video on it. Then they forget. And then a new, young audience is around and another video comes out about Dwarf fortress and they watch it and get into it.

I only act with the information you have given me.

Maybe this is simply a problem of world experience. You seem to have a view of religious scholars that does not align with reality, including not being able to comprehend why someone would want to receive a degree in religious studies.

It’s a lack of empathy and experience that drives you on this issue. Try to have a conversation with some of these individuals before indulging yourself

You lost track of where the conversation went. I am talking specifically about religious academics

Ok. That’s fine. Perhaps instead of viewing them entirely in ways that allow you to look down your nose at them you could instead try to understand them and find out what systems lead to religious beliefs - including religious belief in people who are objectively smarter than you are.

You don’t help anyone by treating them entirely in this sneering, beneath you way. It might make you feel better about yourself, but it doesn’t actually help any of the people you profess to actually care about.

I guess so. It’s still a bizarrely reductive and self serving viewpoint, but whatever helps you.

No. Many of them aren’t. I get the jab, but I think reducing everyone who has strange or perplexing, even illogical views to just being “an idiot or a grifter” isn’t productive.

Without getting too /r/atheism, it is funny to see the lengths many Christian scholars will go to try and justify that line.

“Oh, well they were probably actually referring to this giant arch that might have once been translated as “the eye of the needle”, meaning that they were saying it’s really easy to get into heaven”

Like what the fuck? What do you guys think is the point of the passage then?

And these aren’t like yokels and grifters. They’re like PhDs in Christian Theology. The religion at a point is just almost entirely concerned with making up translations and it literally always has been

A software developer!? On Lemmy!? Say it ain’t so
