I'm sorry, maybe its just my bad mood, but is this post insinuating that having empathy and wanting justice are "autistic quirks?"

Shouldn't we all be feeling like things are unjust, or is it 'neurotypical' to be a heartless, selfish human being :(

    I feel like there are unwritten societal rules, and one of those rules is "don't punch a guy in the balls," cuz we can usually empathize that getting hit there fucking hurts. I dunno what the punishment should be, but I hope they all get locked up in stocks with their balls out for the public to kick at their liesure. Actually pisses me off how these "masculine men" are bigger pussies than their mother's vagina

    Wait fr, data centers are the biggest scam to date. They're using profits from people's data (that they didn't consent to give) to build ai models (that use stolen data) that act as chat bots, ai bots, and general slop generators (tainting the data they're using to keep training the models), as well as killing the planet for little gains (there won't be a population to survey if we run out resources to survey that population, aka water and electricity. Not entirely sure about the electricity part, but we're certainly running out of freshwater globally)

    From the bottom to the top, it seems more like a sunk cost fallacy than an actual investment towards a profitable invention. How short sighted are those in power that they don't realize 100$ now means 0$ later since we've killed all plant life from global warming, and we can't make cash because we can't make paper. Hell, we might be using water bottles as currency before 2050, if that even scares anyone

    For how often I see articles talking about the dangers of tech, I'm surprised at the lack of mention for watch_dogs. Sure, its just a silly little Ubisoft game series, but this game series predicted so much of today's world. The 2nd game is basically propoganda against corporations hoarding so much data, exploring how each of them exploit the world they inhabit. If you haven't played the game, I highly recommend checking it out just for the intro alone. It might not be real world events or actual statistics, but it sure broke down some of the major problems in the industry into something my 13 year old brain could comprehend when I first played the game.

    Wii Games? (lemmy.world)
     

    So I recently bought an old wii, specifically for the purpose of homebrewing. I'm able to understand so far as to what needs downloaded on the Wii and how to backup, but I can't find any sites with games. I noticed Vimms Lair wasn't an option anymore, and other sites I look through use ROMs for emulators. (Unless, those do work on the console). I think you need .wbfs files, and I'd really appreciate if I was pointed in the right direction

     

    So I've recently started to replay Watch_Dogs (digital version) on PS5 and oddly enough, it's the only game that won't suspend in rest mode. The console itself has to tell me it won't keep the game open and it'll close in 30 seconds. I've played both PS4/5 and use both digital and physical copies between my library. Anyone have an explanation?
