Kyrgizion , to World News in Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month

“This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years!”

Ferdinand Foch, 1921

Kyrgizion , to No Stupid Questions in Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

Conversely, there are many other people from his time that definitely did exist and verifiably so. I have a bronze coin minted in Judea by Pontius Pilatus. I can look at it, I can touch it, it's real. Even as an avowed agnostic, I see no reason why Jesus couldn't have been a real person (minus the miracles that were almost certainly later additions).

Kyrgizion , to Ask Lemmy in What do you think the Great Filter is?

I do agree that in the grand scale of things we're actually very early. That alone would explain a lot.

Kyrgizion , to Ask Lemmy in What do you think the Great Filter is?

Unfortunately we've pretty much used up all easily available resources. Anyone 'starting over' would have a much harder time getting the things they need to really get the ball rolling again.

When humans first discovered gold they practically only had to scoop it out of rivers. You'll be hard pressed to find any streams with such appreciable production anywhere in the world today.

Kyrgizion , to Ask Lemmy in What do you think the Great Filter is?

Nah, I'm willing to bet there is actual physical life in our very own solar system (apart from all life on Earth, of course).
Europa's oceans for example have a decently high probability of hosting microbial life.

Of course, discovering primitive life all around us would be a bad sign the great filter is still ahead of us instead of behind us...

Kyrgizion , to Ask Lemmy in What do you think the Great Filter is?

The most boring one: most species off themselves before they fully get off their starting planet. We will go the same way. Take your pick from climate change, war, pandemic, ... or even a combination of several!

Kyrgizion , to Technology in HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware

since this battery update was forced on laptops originally released in 2020, this issue has also bricked hardware outside of the warranty window, when previously users could simply send in the laptop for a free repair.

I hope HP aren't surprised when they get accosted with bricked laptops through their execs' windshields at random intervals...

Don't care, hug kitty!

Kyrgizion , to Ask Lemmy in How do you cope with, life and the decaying world around you?

Alcohol and drugs. Lots of them.

Kyrgizion , to World News in Biden slams ICC prosecutor’s ‘outrageous’ request for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders

This fuckery is going to cost him the election end this year, and we'll ALL pay for that for many years if not decades to come.

So, thank you Biden, in a roundabout way, you're really just as bad as Trump is. Still wouldn't vote for him, but dammit If can't understand protest voters.

Kyrgizion , to Games in Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

Oh absolutely. I'm not conceited enough to imagine Valve is developing games for me or that I'm entitled to anything. Just venting my personal disappointment with their choice. I still consider them the cream of the crop in game and hardware development.

Kyrgizion , to Games in Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

Whatever it ends up being, I'm not interested. Never cared for competitive gaming. Sad that Valve has decided to use part of their enormous talent pool for, well, this while almost any genre would've been better.

Also, this is already a highly saturated niche. I don't doubt Valve's technical prowess and knowhow to develop a game that can surpass all the other ones in quality, but a gilded turd is still a turd under that gold leaf, even if it's technically the best turd in the world.

Kyrgizion , to Technology in OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts

I didn't delete my comments before nuking my account, but I'm pretty sure the grand majority were shitposts containing ample amounts of smut, gore and other ridiculous over the top shit. So I consider this a win.

So that's what the latest Royal portrait of Charles was based on...

Kyrgizion , to Not The Onion in JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

Interesting. When I was around 4 years old I suffered from debilitating nightmares to the point of refusing to go to sleep. Coincidentally, this was also when I came into contact with my first games (Amiga 500 at the time, I'm ancient) and somehow that "taught" my mind that you can fight back against the baddies and win. Never suffered from nightmares ever after that point.
