Games@lemmy.world•What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?English
1·1 month agoWhat puzzles you is the core of each campaign and highly depends on the layout of it.
You gotta try and if you fail, try a different approach.Saving the game from time to time helps avoiding catastrophic failures without having to start from the beginning.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was DeflatingEnglish
2·1 month agoI’m sorry to hear that.
Would you say that your experience was typical or was it especially bad for you (as in not designed for your needs) while other people were better off?

2·1 month agoYou hit the nail on the head.
The problem is the cost of education in the US.But not all of the world is such a capitalist hellscape as the US is, where people were embezzled of affordable living, healthcare and education.
That doesn’t make the concept of education a bad one. The framework in which it’s implemented is to blame and the people who created said framework.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else miss traditional forums?English
2·1 month agoWhat about https://www.kiaevforums.com/?
As you can see it’s a kind of niche forum for EV made by Kia, but there are several of these niche forums.
Most often they’re not very crowded, but I like them being more calm than some other places on the internet.I have some more of these, but they are really only helpful/interesting, if you fit into that niche and in that case you’ll find them easily through search engines.

6·1 month agoI still use them, because they’re awesome.
They’re not gone, although there are quite a bit fewer than some time ago.

31·1 month agoHeroes of Might and Magic III, although I don’t think the game is bad.
What’s bad is that there’s really nothing new to it and yet from time to time I sink lots of hours into a new campaign.
It’s a kind of time machine bringing me back to more innocent times…
For the same reasons I need to beat some computer opponents in Broodwar on Big Game Hunters every once in a while.

politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani’s Proposal For A Millionaire TaxEnglish
2·1 month agoOk, let’s call it ‘taxable income’ then to have a basis of what is going to be taxed (more).

politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani’s Proposal For A Millionaire TaxEnglish
3·1 month agoThis is not about wealth though, but income instead.
I doubt those income millionaires can just leave New York and be better off than paying an additional 2% income tax while staying in NY.
In all likeliness they’d have much more net loss from leaving NY than from additional measly 2% tax.

politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani’s Proposal For A Millionaire TaxEnglish
5·1 month agoFrankly said, whether they spend their money or not is their business. If they are involved in shenenigans like you described that needs to be regulated, because it sure looks like tax evasion.
And regarding the proposed tax (quoting the linked article): “The Millionaire Tax will impose an additional 2% income tax on the top 1% in NYC, who are earning over $1 million per year”.So this tax in no way designed to tax their wealth, but merely their income by another measly 2%.
Nobody will become poor because of this. Some income millionaires just become slightly slower even more rich than they already are.Have them move elsewhere and see whether they can keep their annual income in the millions there.
I, for one, am willing to call their bluff.And once that is done, implement a wealth tax for the people who own x million USD.
To keep them from freaking out, it can be as low as 5% annually, because that would still allow them to generate a net increase of their wealth.
If they complain, increase the tax and start draining their fortune.

7·1 month agoAnd even if some of them really move: is it worse them not paying taxes while not being there at all?
I don’t see the the core of their threat.

25·1 month agoFWIW this is by far less dangerous and aggressive than oxygen, which caused the first global mass extinction when it started to amass in earth’s atmosphere (and plays a major role in the corrosion of iron you mentioned).
And yet people tell you to breathe in and out…

Technology@lemmy.world•Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!English
2·2 months agoYou’re unfortunately right that a Linux phone wouldn’t solve these problems and I’m with you that devs who bend the knee to Google have no interest in providing a Linux phone version - at least for the foreseeable future.
Once there’s a considerable market share for Linux phones (which may never be the case…), those users are potential customers and the tides will shift.
Until then it would at least provide a portable computer that can do a lot of the things current smartphones are capable of, but without the restrictions created by Google and Apple.
