This reference is so old, that Johnny 5 must be dead by now.

Today I learned I’m a fabulous dish!

This is absolutely right. It’s reductive of me to say that recycling is bad for the environment; intentionally reductive.

People generally have a very hard time absorbing the fact that plastic recycling is a scam, so it’s hard to start nuanced to actually get the point across.

But you definitely nailed it. I would argue that if it was reduce, reuse, revolt, the environment would be in a much better place.

Sort of. It’s less a guard down thing as a fraudulent hoax thing.

Recycling was actively brought forward as a solution by the oil companies to push the blame of plastic use onto consumers.

So while recycling rare metals is always valuable, plastic is definitely not. Almost all plastic gets buried in landfills, and the only way to make this not happen is to not make products with plastics.

By creating and marketing plastic recycling as a solution that the consumers must take onto themselves, it allowed them to rake in profits by moving everything to cheap plastic alternatives.

We are now literally made of microplastics as a result.

I’m fond of saying that recycling is almost exclusively bad for the planet. It’s true and people don’t like hearing it.

As the London devs even said, they are really excited for this new content and performance update, and they asked you to put down your pitchforks.

This is going to be a setback for the modding that has been done, for sure. That is the contract the mod community understands when they build their creations. It’s very evident at every step of the way that you are not using consumer grade products with ABI guarantees.

But Bethesda has publicly stated they went out of their way to try to reduce breakage of mods this time compared to the skyrim anniversary version. So we have to wait and see what that means.

But if you want to hold back performance improvements for everyone because a small niche within the modding scene will have to update their mods to work, that’s not a reasonable ask.

I can almost guarantee that more people care about the free next gen update of Fallout 4 than will ever play the Fallout London mod.

I’m legitimately excited for the Fallout London Mod, so this isn’t meant to minimize it, but modding, even in Bethesda games, is a much smaller niche than people on here seem to think.

Bethesda is legitimately doing something good for the game, for free, and they announced it two years in advance.

The only upsetting part of this is that they recently announced a launch date and it is coincidentally close to when Fallout London was planning to release.

If that one coincidence wasn’t happening, then nobody would be complaining about this pretty cool free update.

At least not until after it releases.

Aww a catapult, I wanted a peanut!

Good thing that didn’t happen here, then?

…

Can I go now?

I always feel like I’m taking crazy pills when the subject of Apple comes up on lemmy.

That’s good!

So it’s good faith to say that when Apple does something good that they are bad and it’s typical of them to be bad?

By allowing emulators on the app store… Apple Bad?

But they said I wouldn’t have to tip if they got rid of the humans!

I haven’t tried LLMs myself, but even completely made up garbage would be better than today’s search engine results.

You either get advertisements for things that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to find or you get privacy preserving links to sites that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to find.

This is true. I asked my LLM.

How the car is going to buzz into my building, take the elevator, and deliver to my front door is beyond me. Technology is amazing!
