Lemmy has cut out my doomscrolling more than I estimated. I knew it would decrease, but usually I don't scroll for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time, and it never interrupts me doing anything else. Makes me look back and realize how unhealthy those algorithms really are.
I often grab a pirated copy to see if I like it first, and if I do, I'll buy it. If I play it once or twice and don't really get much out of it, I'm not out anything but some download time.
Bad thing about the shire is, in the books particularly, I get the feeling that the Hobbits are super judgy and talk shit about each other constantly behind their backs.
Which, given that the shire is so small and insular, checks out. What else are they talking about after they finish up about the weather or wondering when Gandalf will show up with fireworks again.
“By partnering with the Cfx.re team, we will help them find new ways to support this incredible community and improve the services they provide to their developers and players.”
Allow me to translate:
“By partnering with the Cfx.re team, we will help them find new ways to bleed the community's wallets dry and force servers to pay a cut of their monetization revenue and offer nothing substantial in return.”
We're quickly approaching a world in which the smartest machines are more intelligent than the dumbest humans, which causes a problem for capcha creators.
I only eat one real meal a day and supplement with light snacks and plenty of fluids. As long as that one meal is something of substance and not say, a ramen packet or something like that, I feel pretty good. There are people that do one meal a day with no other food intake at all, too, but that's a bit low for me.
I enforce ISO 8601 for the shared storage in my office. Before I got there, files were kinda stored in all kinds of formats, but mostly month first.
I tell the person under me she can store her files in her user any way she wants, but if it goes into shared storage, it's ISO 8601. I even have a folder in there called !Date format: YYYY-MM-DD Description to help anyone else remember.
My coworker has a friend that works for a company that sends her to Dubai fairly often. She gets paid a metric ton of money for it, apparently, but outside of work spends most of her time in her hotel room.
Well, according to the proposal, it doesn't send it to websites. It sends all your data to an attestation server, AKA Google probably, and the attestation server sends stuff to the website.
Sounds like my buddy configuring like 300 Skyrim mods over the course of a week until the game is thoroughly unplayable without a crash for longer than 5-15 minutes, then he'll play it for a couple days and do something else.
Probably about as many as ever, I think. They might have more instant feedback than previously on how popular their works are, but there are plenty of pre-internet creatives who pursued their art and had nothing to show for it even into their deaths. Many of the same self-justifications they used then can still apply now, even with the Internet around giving them feedback.
One argument that might be made is that inconsistencies at the quantum level create an element of randomness that, while miniscule, could create massive cascading butterfly effects over the course of a large enough timespan. Whether those inconsistencies are enough to make more than a minimal difference in a single given lifespan is debatable at best, and the entire idea could be debunked if quantum physics was proven to be deterministic.
However, as it stands, we don't have accurate methods of predicting quantum behavior.
The article suggests that platforms could implement tools to obtain consent from strangers before posting content featuring them.
That's more terrifying than being randomly featured in something. Getting a notification that some rando filmed me asking for my consent would be way too much.
They did cite the original article from the EPA. The chemistry section that has details about the chemical itself reads like an SCP article. Anything of substance in it has been redacted, some entire pages are redacted.
I don't think the author knows what it is, either.

I always found the tracking chip conspiracy stuff to be particularly funny. Unfortunately, I never personally met any whackos that believed it.
The best method for very accurately tracking them was the thing they likely used to post about the COVID vaccine tracking you.
