Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a specific part of a video game that made you quit playing that game?

The entire premise is that the protagonist can turn back time, and make different decisions.
Except for cut-scenes. As soon as a cut-scene hits, suddenly its “You aren’t able to rewind time right now”, with no narrative explanation. Like, I get that you didn’t want to program that part, but the entire premise is about rewinding time, to try different decisions. Now I’m stuck having made an arbitrary decision, because I thought I was going to be able to go back and pick differently.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a book or film that you're glad you experienced, but would never recommend?
2·1 day agoI recently watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò%2C_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom
It was… interesting, but going for more “shock”, than actual substance.

2·1 day agoIt’s a fun movie, but it’s only for a selective taste. It’s also has a lot of very problematic scenes.

All the higher mammals learn by playing, by doing, by interacting. And indeed, the higher the mammal, the more of its life it spends in play to prepare itself for adulthood. So you can see, this active role of the mind is fundamental to the way we think. It’s wired into our brains.
It’s a really great speech, and a lot of it is about the failures of our educational system.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is the USA the only country that doesn’t use the metric system?

2·7 days agoI don’t think they were “surprised” by it. It seems like they thought it was a search result. Which is fair, IMO. If DDG didn’t want people to mistake that for a search result, then they shouldn’t put it in the spot where the search results go.

7·8 days agoI feel like I’m not really understanding the question, but here ya go: The people who are willing to pay for it.
Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.
I think you are starting off with an incorrect premise: In the US, the role of the cops is not to keep people, or society safe. It often also has very little to due with “the law”.
The role is to keep the rich and powerful, rich and powerful. They are meant to oppress people, and keep the slave-machine running. Cops shooting people, stealing from them, escalating situations, and not knowing the law is the intended situation.
In that sense, the cops are doing their job to great effect, and don’t need any more training.

1·1 month agoI’m pretty annoyed at how ollama has gone deep in the paint as basically being a tool for accessing cloud models.
Can you expound a little more on what you mean by this?
I like ollama, but I only really use it to load models and then hit the API. My current issue with them is that they don’t seem to support non-text base interaction very well.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Db admin, cloud admin, printers, more for $110k.
13·1 month agoAs a system administrator, I’ve done all of these to some extent. But at that pay range, it better be part-time.

Can I ask why? That’s where I gave up, but I keep having trouble articulating why.
