Nowhere in the article does the author pin blame on individual employees. "Tech industry" obviously refers to corporations, not individual contributors. The title isn't clickbait.

I'd love to, but none of my friends use it unfortunately

Racism and lack of bipartisan support were likely huge factors as other commenters said. There was also division between Indigenous people regarding the efficacy of the Voice to Parliament. Some saw it as a great step forward, others saw it as toothless or symbolic, others still believed it would delegitimise their sovereignty over the land. The Opposition latched onto this for their own gains I believe. Together with Fair Australia (conservative lobbying group) they dealed in fear, misinformation and distrust. They absolutely dominated over social media and took control of the narrative very quickly. This became a lot easier for them due to the cost of living crisis. Take a White Australian in the outer suburbs or rural areas, tell them to care about this thing they don't understand instead of their rising mortgage payments and cost of groceries, when the Opposition is feeding into their latent ignorance and distrust of First Nations people that all Australians have, and you've lost them already.

Sorry man, but that's not racism. That's equity. Some kinds of people need certain kinds of privileges, because they've been disenfranchised by a racist system for years and years and years. Giving them a leg up is a reasonable and empathetic thing to do.

Right, I see what you mean, so there'd be a power imbalance there. From my perspective, if drivers buddy-buddied with each other to that degree, customers would just flock back to Uber and the business would tank pretty fast. It would be more beneficial for the drivers to treat their customers well.

Haha, how are those quotes relevant? This just reads like nonsense to me

The author's arguing that BG3 makes Starfield look like a shallow RPG by comparison. Their broader point is that Starfield is behind the times compared to most RPGs released in the last couple decades, even compared to something like Fallout 3.

What do you mean by that?

[-] phonyphanty@pawb.social 18 points 1 year ago

It's a term for a third gender used by some Native Americans :)

Curious about this, what makes it computationally expensive?
