  • I think there are dynamics at play her but to keep it short. I admire your steadfast disappointment towards gambling or playing with odds. However, for a game like balatro being completely free to continue playing after the initial purchase. As far as I can tell, there are no micro transactions or push for players to sink their wallets into the game. The entire game is basically a simulation. All randomizations are predetermined based on a seed. You can set it or you can figure it out if you are smart enough in math and cryptography. However, ratings are more annoyance than being a real guard against the real problems happening right now.

    There are many more dissatisfying things. I doubt we should fight over the rating. Instead we should be in agreement that gambling and other pay to play odds like loot boxes is bad and stricter regulations.

    Yeah, I quickly realize that while I don’t care about the word and don’t really care if it does get deleted and censored. It just reminds me of why I practice privacy and don’t really keep or create accounts. I realize why I don’t express myself. I sometimes wonder if I should delete my Lemmy account. I barely use it. I only did it to stick it to reddit at first but now I have no idea why. I don’t even know why I made this post.

    It always is benefiting some rich guy and at some point I will get censored or whatever because freedom of speech is non-existent on the internet. AI now being used to censor negative views or posts highlighting darker aspects of humanity. Even more words or combination of words are banned on other platforms. They only want to make everything look great and never want it to be negative unless it makes them more money, which they will wait until later to retroactively remove them or only keep some in case people notice their old posts are deleted. Have to make it confusing as ever cause that is a money maker.








  • Windows 11 “out of box experience” has been made specifically to further control and limit options in favor of value added options. Such as making online services more integrated into an ever bloated OS. The only option I know about setting up the first account as local was to disable the internet connectivity check they are enforcing now using a command prompt that required going well out of my way to get and even I saw how much they pressure you into going along with their demands/instructions instead of allowing freedom/open use of anything you wish to use.

    It’s so odd because even though it is possible to do more advanced or finer tuned control, Microsoft is intentionally ignoring talking about it and therefore not even offering those options.

    Given the fact it looks like something that looks to be something that was real but edited to be fake is a big compliment. Sure we could focus on the fake looks but you can tell it really did make decent progress on improving realistic features. Though simple everyday stuff that is not major photoshoots with heavily edited/stylized photos but rather look like it was real is still something that is not close to being possible. Many times is just because it looks clean, shiny, smooth and plastic. As art it does pretty well. Of course the hands are lacking in form but that is easily fixable.
