You're missing the point. Spiderman and assassins creed have already been made too. And people are tired of buying 'that game you played last year but shinier and laggier and with 500 more meaningless fetch quests and collectibles to find'. Game companies will likely continue to refuse to realize this and actually innovate though, and will continue to throw more money and more people at their dying IPs with increasingly diminishing returns.

Yeah and Minecraft is one of the games people have put the most hours into. People want a game that is fun and continues to be fun. That doesn't require 600 people to do. It requires caring, intention, and understanding of what games actually provide for people. Not just a desire to sell more loot boxes or whatever.

I literally never said don't do the small acts, I think they're great. I think the meme stating that doing just small acts is 'enough' is fucking stupid, of you really want to get into it. Yes absolutely small acts of kindness are amazing and need to be performed far more often. But patting yourself on the back because you held a door for someone or helped an old lady carry her groceries and thinking to yourself 'i made a difference, now I don't have to worry or think about anything else' is a fucking toxic mentality. I wasn't gonna get this deep on this post but you pushed me. Small acts of kindness are absolutely essentially but they are definitively, 100% not ENOUGH.

And the state of the world seems like 'enough' to you right now? It's not the acts of kindness I have issue with it's the assertion that that's all that's needed.

Hasnt done much yet. Unfortunately for every small kind act you do there's someone out there with more power and influence doing a thousand evil ones.

People who are used to doing actual research and who understand the necessity of things like a peer review process understand how dangerous it is to have something that's straight up confidently wrong 20% of the time, and yet have people who treat it like the ultimate authority on things. These people have likely seen AI be stunningly stupid in fields they know about and can extrapolate from there that it's probably stunningly stupid about most things.

I have an issue with my laptop on my school's network, which is likely an issue with the way the network is configured, because I've never had the issue on other computers or networks elsewhere, but sometimes my laptop(Linux Mint ThinkPad T490) will stay connected to the network, but say 'authentication required' and have no internet access until I reconnect. It also sometimes pops up a password box and asks me to reauthenticate to the network which I do, still using the same saved password. This gets annoying while writing tests that use browser window monitoring software. Like I said, it's probably an issue with the network but none of the windows or Mac users seem to have this issue so maybe someone has come across something similar or knows how to fix it.

I recommend Connect to everyone. Free, no ads at all, Canadian developer who is super active and has responded to every issue I've raised right away and usually fixed it by the next day, tons of customization options, all around the best Lemmy app I've used for a number of different reasons.

I've pretty much seen the opposite. Windows fanboys love to come up with excuses for why they COULDNT POSSIBLY switch to Linux but most of the Linux users I've seen are constantly trying to convince people that it's NOT that intimidating and that you DON'T need to be a super genius or nerd to use it.
