Hard to say. It depends on what kind of programs/robots we were. It might be that certain percentage of us are our creaters, it might be that we got rid of our creators, it might be that there’s only one creator…

Too many possibilities.

1. Are you AI/bot?
2. Wall of text = incomprehensible, would not read/5.
3. It’s rarely about how good the devices are, but how much they cost + Apple’s two-faced moral model that makes people oppose/distrust it.

Yet your argument still ignores all nuance. (…)

There are no nuances needed to be acknowledged in this specific distinction. People playing in good faith, WILL try to overcome any obstacles according to their experience, skills and maturity. People who don’t, will invent problems and actively search for them rather than focus on solutions. Neither needs Session #0.

good group doesn’t need session zero and bad group isn’t helped by it

It’s absolutely wrong take on the dillema. GOOD group doesn’t have to play in good faith - they are good players, experienced veterans, that know the art of role playing well. But they don’t have to put all their skills into good outcome. They may, for many reasons try to undermine the experience, break the game, test the ruleset for weaknesses, focus on one singe aspect of the game (for example, on combat) rather than on the whole adventure. And the other way around - bad gamers, clueless and inexperienced might still try to save their game, make the best of it.

As you can see, what you’re discussing is wildly different to what I’ve been talking about.

Now you’re just doing some pedantic backpedaling, as though it changes the fact that your argument hinges on a false binary.

From where I sit - it’s you who didn’t think through your position and when asked about details became passively-aggressive. Usually a strong hint that you feel you’re/were wrong.

And it’s ironic that you simultaneously accuse me of lacking nuances and simultaneously of being “too nuanced”. 😬

“What are you doing?”

Explain.

The entire showerthought must be in the title

Your question belongs more to Ask Lemmy or No Stupid Questions I think.

In addition: what appeared earlier on this planet? Kids or cartoons?

I never said that individuals are “good/bad”. I said they approach the game with either good faith or bad faith, which is radically different to what you’re talking about.

time will tell

So we can agree that we’re discussing and juxtaposing against each other very vague things, that might as well turn out to be completely false?

Extinction event level but not really, (…)

Much like the predicted scenario of allegedly upcoming climate disaster, correct?

If the group consists of people who come there in good faith and are determined to have fun, no Session 0 is needed. Whatever problems will arise on the way, are going to be dealt with in mature way.

And if the group features bad faith actors, then no amount of discussion prior to the game will prevent a disaster from happening.

I never said Toba didn’t happen.

I never said you did.

We’re just debating the degree it affected the entire species

We’re not.

We’re on the way to acknowledge the fact that the mankind withstood “extinction level” events in the past.

Multiple times.

You should read the entire article.

I’m glad YOU did. This way you can learn that there were “extinction level” events in Mankind’s history.

And we survived it.

😉

I curse Death that she didn’t take me peacefully during the day.

I mean, the history of the planet involves mass extinction events when 95% of species died off so… not really?

And yet, life is still abundant, diverse and thriving. Isn’t it?

Such massive and old platform won’t lose its userbase just because it undergoes a wild evolution. Look at .tumblr, facebook…

Instead, ask what it takes for eXTwitter to stop being any important.

This is wrong. So very wrong. “Stop flying as much”? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn’t fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.

The lists misses more reasonable things:

• ditch whatever modern “high energy demand” fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
• spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
• vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
• vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
• as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
• do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
• don’t change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
• learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides

…and as usual, the Mankind survives, adjusting to new reality, be it its own mistakes, or natural disasters.

Life finds the way…

OneDrive is among the most unreliable pieces of software I’ve ever seen.

It behaves erratic and unpredictably. Its credential manager resembles a blind monkey with Down syndrome that snorts coke to wake up. Webclient is slow, with UI resembling times of Netscape Navigator.

tl;dr: I’d rather put all files on a thumbdrive and travel to wherever they are needed, than rely on Onedrive.

As for M365 - plenty of good applications there. Using them daily.

Headquarters! Mayday! This hit too close to our position!
