Possible I suppose, but if that worked, not sure why they couldn't just provide a diff patch that worked on the user's existing binary...

What is the DMCA argument here? Does anyone know what was alleged by Sony?

It would need to be either using copyrighted code or circumventing copy protection. Neither seems likely for a frame rate mod.

Nah, all good - it's your page, do it how you want, just trying to help by giving a perspective. Thanks for doing it.

I've been waiting for journalists to link the executive orders to specific Project 2025 items, so this is great.

If I have one suggestion, it's actually to either tone down or move the editorializing (the site's opening text box content).

It seems strange to say this - I frequently call out the slow-motion trainwreck that is our descent into fascism - but the large type "FASCISM" references on the tracker page may be counterproductive to this being a widely-used resource. To some, they will close the page thinking it's another conspiracy theorist manifesto or something. The people who need to see and trust this probably first need to trust that these are facts with or without an agenda.

You could also move it to a "why did I start this project" page to not distract from the tracker.

The implementation of Project 2025 is terrifying enough, or at least should be. But journalism is failing to track it. This is great work.

What gets measured gets improved. The inverse is also true - what doesn't get (or can't be) measured deteriorates.

Google had a uniquely employee-friendly culture and probably the highest morale amongst the FAANG companies. But Sundar apparently couldn't assign a value to that like he could quarterly balance sheet improvements, and at some point it appears to have disappeared from his decision tree entirely.

So it's no surprise they discarded their entire company culture and are so concerned with the same Wall Street-pleasing nonsense efficiency metrics as a typical company. Google is no longer special in any way.

Murkowski and Collins are going to furrow their brows sooo hard this time, while they wait for Thune to confirm there are enough yes votes to confirm him, so they can vote no.

It's opposite decade in the US.

Would you do us a public service and just keep this counter going in random comments? I could really use some indication that time is actually passing and not just looping.

They'll never publicly sell him out, because he's already attained mythical status to his base.

He is a cult leader, and those around him want that for themselves. They know he's old and just all want to be the one he hands the cult over to.

I used to think that this kind of statement would make people trust Trump less. But no, this is actually going to continue to convince more people that DEI is bad.

I've learned that a huge amount of people seem incapable of seeing pathological lying. To them, Trump's comments don't lower the dignity of the presidency, they simply gained the credibility of the presidency.

It's so backwards, it's hard to even admit to myself that that is how this is all working, but it's exactly as people with dark triad mental disorders wish it, when being manipulative like Trump - their methods in fact work. And the fact that "DEI" and "crash" were used in the same sentence means that it is going to reinforce a lot of prejudices that DEI is somehow making us less safe.

So this is digging us deeper, and oof, it's not even February 2025 and it's physically hard to keep watching. It's also hard to imagine the amount of effort it will take to dig out of this hole, when we have four years of digging us deeper to still watch.

The articles have been confusing - I guess they're announcing a physical location, but also it's a digital archive you can access on a website. Don't know why they have a landing page that doesn't clearly link to it: https://archive.gamehistory.org/

They may just have taken down the link because it's getting hugged to death.

It's an incredible resource - here's hoping the publishers don't kill it.

It doesn't set any binding legal precedent, but it does send a message that has similar practical effects.

Wired did not name the two individuals out of sensitivity to their ages.

I'm sorry, what? These are people who are going to be significantly affecting OPM activities and procedure. They work for taxpayers and are adults. What journalistic rule overrules the public interest in knowing who they are?

Well, conservatives got their immigration final solution. Just treat abused asylum seekers and potential immigrants like sub-human trash that we stuff into a memory hole. Certainly making America great, aren't we.

I can't seem to imagine that or indeed anything not immediately happening to me this moment.

Can you get me an invite? It sounds like a great party apart from the face-eating, and it's not like that's gonna happen again lol!

Oh, wow...I let my guard down for one second. Ugh.

Edit: I've gone back and looked at it very closely. I still don't think it's AI, on balance. This seems like a still from a video clip that has compression artifacts. My clues:

Against AI:

• The fine details like whiskers have enough random but consistent imperfection that it doesn't match what AI normally outputs (either consistent perfection, or inconsistent imperfection - too-perfect whiskers or whiskers that blend into each other is what I'd expect from AI). There is some whisker-blending, but that seems more consistent with video compression blur than AI.
• The couch seems to have post-compression remnants of hairs that aren't likely from AI.
• The eyes are one area where AI is very inconsistent, but the irises (for dilated eyes) are very consistent. Though there is heterochromia, I'd expect to see some AI mess around the eyes.

For AI:

• I agree the chew toy looks off. I don't know that that counteracts the above.
• It could be cropped and compressed explicitly to obscure AI giveaway details.

I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect it's real.

Edit 2: As others have noted, it's real. My AI detector isn't obsolete, for a few more months/weeks/days at least.

It's 2025, misinformation is rampant. And here you're all acting like we can just trust that this is Windows 3.11 and not XP running a VM. Wake up sheeple!

Edit: /s needed?

Without hyperbole, this is actually the cutest kitten I've ever seen.
