Bravo. Such profound conversation. Go pet yourself on the back

except that I am three times that age, having spend at least last twelve years looking exactly at how emotion and intellect work and how to make all this play well
and what I see on lemmy is this: every time someone shows well-deserved anger at idiots who made this terror happen(make no mistake, just because we can sit relatively comfortable and just argue on internet, many people experience their lives getting torn apart), there comes someone with the you-cant-just-blame-them attitude, and all that does it "don't be mad at them, chill"
Well, no. How they came to be this way? Exactly this is how: they. came. to be this way. Same way neither of us did: making choices. Now is not the time to sit and think of how education and whatnot should have been. Now is the time to act.
And the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Are we now playing "quote some nonsense"?
So what now, they bear no responsibility just due to being brainwashed? Then I have a bridge to sell you: there are no criminals, everyone is innocent. Why? Because most of the time our brain makes a decision before we even become conscious of it. So mr. judge, I did not kill an old lady, it's just my brain. Surely you can't give me a sentence for something I did not do willfully?
Nah, you are just trying to shift the responsibility. If my brain gets washed with indoctrination, it is my responsibility. You want what, just go "these millions of human individuals actually supporting evil bastards are innocent and ignorant, only those bastards are to blame"? Fuck this shit, this is not how it works
Lol, go on, yell me how decisions in the game do not matter. Before you start, be aware I have complete like seven or more full playthroughs just to explore all the things I could do, were it all real (so, excluding things like killing everyone or being a complete shit just for giggles)
But what I do want from them is an actual damn city. Walking through a megapolis chromed to the teeth and not being able to break into random house or apartment is damn frustrating
But how big is it (resolution/physical size) ?
I feel like I will never go for more than present 4k with around 80cm width (but it is curved, so screen surface is enough), because if I try to stuff more windows visible at the same time, it becomes more info than I can process. So, unless I start building something like personal dashboard, this is my limit: finally see enough, do not get overwhelmed
Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.
But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.
GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look
You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.
Got me a hundred percent 🙂. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics
Ah. Yeah, TVs can be really large. Thank you for taking the time to explain
Games: nope. Same as someone above, I've got Cyberpunk on Linux
Office/Adobe... may be a fair point for some Nvidia card: nope, works fine
HDR: did not even bother to learn what is. Can be a fair point
Fractional scaling - genuine question: who the hell ever needs this? I have gone from 1K resolution (standard laptop) to 2K to 2.5K to ~~3~~4K with curved monitor and never ever ever did I think "hey, this big screen? I want everything bigger/smaller on it". What do people use fractional scaling for?
Wow. I never saw this type of player, with cassette partially sticking out. Now I will look for something like this, thank you for the photo! 🙂

Ah, now comes the best part: assuming what I did not say and answering that. Because what can someone with silly 12-year-old worldview know, right?
And now more to the point
Spoilers: one can say that ignorance is main source of all trouble, but that gets us nowhere right now. We got here by not making people capable of handling life in all its depth. Without people who are developed and balanced no amount of fancy laws, traditions and whatnot will keep things from progressing in ugly directions
And what if I do not think that? Part of reason being that even if today I drop dead all those filthy-ignorant-idiots (and I am so bright and righteous, of course. Sarcasm, obviously), tomorrow same idiotic things will be done by other people
Short answer of a tired man: please, quote me doing so.
Longer answer of someone still caring about at least something: I am advocating against "oh, poor things, they got brainwashed/caught in information bubbles/whatever, things are more complicated blah-blah". Things are complicated well beyond anyone's imagination (I am talking in general here. try finding someone who understands a blade of grass totally, on all levels and in all transactions it is being a part of). First things first: fix the damn thing. Again - no, I am not saying "You, people I have never met, go against armed men and die because I say you should". I am saying "do what best you can, leave all this things-are-complicated horseshit. It never ends"
