I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they’re pissed and silently fuming about it now.
The fundamental problem with this logic is that anyone dumb enough to have fallen for this in the first place (and to vote for Trump again in 2024) is more than dumb enough to fall victim to all the nonsense of the next election. There’s no way this momentary glimmer of rationality will survive an election campaign, and the utterly broken epistemology of these people is no closer to being fixed.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Most technologies continue to improve with innovation, like WiFi. What is a technology that was nearly perfect upon conception?
2·2 months agoI mean this thread is about tech that was perfect from it’s inception to the point where it didn’t or barely improved. Nothing could be further from the truth, transistor tech has had literally trillions of dollars and millions of smart people’s careers poured into it, and semiconductor IC manufacturing is now the most complicated single activity that our species does.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad?
81·2 months agoIt’s more than that dude. Antifa is the perfect boogeyman for the right because it’s left wing, but also not an organization. Who is the leader of antifa? Where are they based? Who do you have to kill to eliminate antifa leadership? How does someone become a member of antifa? These questions have no answers because antifa is not an organization.
Those are also questions that the right wing media machine works hard to get their audience to never ask. That way, by demonizing antifa, they can use force against anyone because anyone they don’t like can be declared antifa, because no one can disprove their membership, because “antifa membership” literally isn’t a thing.
It’s carte blanche to do whatever they want.
It’s honestly just another symptom of Fox News brain rot. Their audience is trained not to ask any relevant questions. It was always going to end badly.

Games@lemmy.world•There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more sapsEnglish
12·6 months agoThe project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.
It’s basically what happens when you have a project with overly understanding financiers, an overly ambitious creative head, and absolutely no concern whatsoever for avoiding scope creep.
Kind of amazing really. I can imagine in centuries past an architect becoming the personal favourite of a king so he just keeps making the palace he’s tasked to build more and more extravagant since the king keeps giving him more money endlessly.

13·6 months agoI have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly vibing around in a ship.
Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.
Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.
When someone bangs a member of the blue man group do you think they’re disappointed when his jizz isn’t blue?

Linux@lemmy.ml•matchctl: The First Dating App for Linux Users (Because You've Already Mounted /dev/sad)
10·7 months agoCongrats guys you found a way to make a dating app with an even more skewed sex ratio.
The Patagonia vest is what makes it since it indicates that it’s a (former) tech bro.
Those bananas look like they could be alcoholic at this point.
Private equity is salivating over the idea of
running his carefully built brand into the groundmaximizing value extraction from steam.The current meta here is that things like brand loyalty and reputation are not really worth preserving, and are only as good as whatever short-term gains you can squeeze out of them.
Had to be a sick ostrich.
Trump has no idea what signal is. He basically has no real concept of what this scandal is about.
You guys ever feel like everything should just be deprecated? Like fuck everything and start over?
An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.
I’m guessing the cheaper ones don’t have sine-wave inverters (they use a dressed up square wave which can be produced by purely digital electronics) so quality of the output waveform is bad. The power supply of the laptop (or PC) ends up having to work harder to cut out the extraneous bits of the waveform (that is it’s job) but all that extra crap is just turned into heat. Laptop PSUs are small , so have less heat dissipation and likely aren’t built for this. The ideal use case for these cheap inverters are purely resistive loads (like heaters) but even some less sophisticated electronics would probably be fine. Computer however, are generally designed for clean power.
If it’s a sine-wave inverters and the generator is working properly then idk why it would matter.
The sausage steering wheel is pure gold.


I mean it’s not like the kid killed a random person. In a sense he’s the only character doing any kind of root cause analysis.
