Correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(franchise)

A media franchise, also known as a multimedia franchise, is a collection of related media in which several derivative works have been produced from an original creative work of fiction, such as a film, a work of literature, a television program, or a video game. Bob Iger, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, defined the word franchise as “something that creates value across multiple businesses and across multiple territories over a long period of time.”[1]

They really are trying to milk everything out of that franchise and doing a terrible job at doing so.

Same. I couldn’t tell you what the notification sounds of any apps sound like.

Don’t like this? Sign the EU petition Stop Killing Games.

Sounds like fun! Do it!

*asks question*

“OMG stop spreading falsehoods”

*thanks for adding source*

“oMg So iRonIc aMiRite???”

they should be posting sources

“jUsT dO a ReVersE iMagE seArCh!!!11!1”

🙄 yes sir, you have been such a voice of reason in this discussion.

The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Brandolini’s law

Put simply, I or anybody else can generate a bunch of fake images, give them a titles e.g “Pyramids were launchpads for aliens” and it takes way longer for you to disprove it than for me to create more disinformation. I could be posting another picture about “the first human skull was found in Australia 10,000 years ago” while you’re debating whether pyramids really are launchpads for alien spaceships. This entire discussion could’ve been avoid by @PugJesus@lemmy.world adding a source to the image from the onset. Then all I’d have to do is click on it and verify that the webpage is trustworthy.

The alternative is Hitchen’s razor

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

I could say “@PugJesus@lemmy.world asserted that this image is true, but provided no evidence, therefore I can dismiss it”.

I would encourage you to look up the difficulties of debunking myths and why misinformation is so pervasive online. We shouldn’t be normalising unsourced claims, otherwise we will have more people sharing images and texts without thinking just because they can get reactions.

The name of the community is “History Porn”. It does sound memey, but that doesn’t mean we should put users at risk of believing or sharing false information.

Why put the burden on the reader, not the poster?

Thanks. Maybe there should be a rule to provide a source for the image. We do live in post-truth world.

That doesn’t look like something from 1911-1914. Is the dude wearing polyester and reebok shoes?

If she can’t define it, how should we. Maybe you should just spam her with scientific articles and links to ground news.

This is what happens when you opensource stuff. Some dude will make it work on Linux 🤣 . Amazing.

Awesome, thank you!

Oh shit, really? Do you have a source for that?

I wish they worked with opensource projects like Heroic to provide an easy and fast way to run their games on Linux like in Steam. And if they provided a donation option or something to fund that work.

LMAO, that person is delusional and has no idea what human trafficking is.

Human trafficking is the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation.

wikipedia

Sure, it was possibly dangerous, but human trafficking it was not. Although, if they forced you to eat a salade nicoise, that’s torture and should’ve been reported.

Nice! Looking forward to the release. I’m sure there’s a gamedev community on lemmy where you can talk about the development of the game and announce when it has been released and where!

Will you only publish it on steam? It would be great to have games available on other platforms like GoG too.

They could also join peertube. I sent an email info@linusmediagroup.com to ask them if they would. They aren’t on the fediverse either.
