If it’s emblematic of anything it would be something about attention-seeking behavior.

robolemmy@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•MMO Hype Train: Dune Awakening stumbles, trips, and sometimes sprints in its early experienceEnglish7·2 months agoI haven’t bought the game and probably never will, since I don’t like the Dune-iverse at all. I have friends who play it and it’s a 100% online game. I’m sure you could pretend to play solo but you’re still connected to a remote server.

robolemmy@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•Alternatively: finding out the playlist you've been listening to is AI.English5·3 months agoMost or all of the GMO crops will both pollinate and germinate. The requirement to buy new seed is legally enforced, rather than a biological necessity.
There have been cases already where pollen and/or seeds have blown into neighboring fields and hybridized with non-GMO crops. At least one grower has been sued by Monsanto for harvesting and selling Roundup-ready soybeans that were hybridized that way.

In the vast majority of people, the body quickly metabolizes excess phenylalanine. The only genuinely well-documented danger is for people with phenylketonuria, because they have a genetic variation that breaks that ability to metabolize.
Last I checked, which was admittedly years ago, the studies that showed direct harms were flawed, not statistically significant, or have not been repeatable. The early studies that led to its ban in the EU used absolutely massive doses of aspartame, well beyond what you could possibly ingest in a day.
I’m not saying it’s safe for sure but it’s safer than obesity or massive doses of sugar on a regular basis.

There are economic concerns because the business model is to patent (copyright?) the GMO stuff and force growers to buy seed every year, instead of saving seed from each harvest. There’s also some concern that really successful GMO crops, such as Roundup-ready corn, will dominate planting and become a monocrop which could lead to massive crop loss if a blight or other disease evolves to target that particular strain.
The other things in the picture vary between probably-but-maybe-not-harmless (aspartame), definitely harmless (MSG), to actually helpful (fluoride and Prozac).
Bottom line: the meme, when interpreted correctly, implies that pop songs are generally good but somewhat artificially manipulated.

The scumbag known as Marc Andreessen is a right-wing accelerationist. He and his cronies, including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, want to destabilize and eventually destroy nation-states so that everyone lives in corporatocratic city-states. These are the people who think late stage capitalism is a step in the right direction.
I don’t have a race in this fight.
As far as I know, input-remapper will handle any mouse, regardless of how many buttons it has, since they just show up as human interface devices.
I use, and really like, the razer naga v2 hyperspeed mmo mouse, but it’s about $100 USD. I’ve never tried them, but the Redragon mice are inexpensive and generally get good reviews.
All of them should work just fine with Linux, though any rgb bullshit might not be adjustable with anything that isn’t razer.
