Some people think you can use it as a replacement for therapy or to fight loneliness. Turns out, simply reading fiction is better.

Oh good. So my account is already long gone. Phew!

Nope, and it's actually pretty clever what happened. The judge in the case basically let him go (which is what Trump wanted) but in such a way that the DoJ can't ever relitigate it (something Trump didn't want).

Justice was denied, imo, but under the circumstances, the judge managed to thread the needle and keep Trump from being able to blackmail him into doing his bidding.

Teasing. Could also be a form of flirting. It really depends upon context.

So gifted! So capable! Such a deep understanding of the technology!

In a sense, he kinda does have a deep understanding. He knows how the grift works and knows how to trick people into giving him money for a little acting.

Sometimes, I wonder what my life would have been like had even just dabbled in Bitcoin at the beginning, but then I remember that I would have to have been rubbing elbows with these weirdos.

I like the cut of your jib.

So the Switch is essentially for rent. You can play it, as long as Nintendo decides you're in its good graces.

You don't own something to which somebody else has the master off-switch. And with their continued abuse of their own fans and other game developers through the courts, it's a testament to FOMO and fandom that they are still in business.

Vote with your wallets, y'all. This kind of behavior only makes you the loser.

No.

It's unfortunately not. Go ask your (general) parents or grandparents what it is and what it means. Ask them if they think it's happening right now and to what extent.

I bet their answers will be surprising to a lot of people.

They're also currently working on new ways to litigate Palworld and it's devs into oblivion, so fuck Nintendo and their anti-gamer attitude.

Vote with your wallet.

Fwiw, I almost always get some amount of buyer's remorse when I make a purchase, usually on expensive items. There's some hidden cost or feature that isn't quite what I'd hoped for.

Not so with the Steam Deck. It has been virtually everything I hoped for, and not once have I felt like it did or had something I didn't want. When you pull the trigger, I hope you get the same experience.

Experts assume that Unitree H1 was in a state of falling, because of which the autocorrection was triggered.

This is how robots try to regain their balance when falling.

Bullshit headline. Even the video just looks like a robot blindly flailing. Nothing to see here except a test gone awry.

When was the last time you heard about a vibe coder with unfettered access to government systems getting hacked? Probably never, because the government used to try its best to ensure security policy was followed. But Trump and Elon come along, and all of a sudden, secure info is leaked everywhere.

I understand your desire to remain skeptical and demand evidence, I do, but I think you're just throwing your pearls before swine at the end of the day in doing so.

It's how the US got Trump. The "Trump Train" was a meme, first.

I understand your desire to be charitable or tempered, but this isn't some random schmuck who made an oopsie and reused a password from a previous database hack.

This idiot has his dumb fingers in vital government systems, and the fact that he didn't clean up his security profile before wreaking havoc says a lot about his ability to do his job safely. Thus, I think it is justified to point out the fact that he's stupid and can't get his security together, and your charitability is wasted on someone like him.

We don't have to be monsters in kind. The American prison system is monstrous all on its own.

This. Stop buying their shit due to FOMO, and make them work for your money.

Friendica exists, and it's part of the Fediverse. It's not going anywhere.

Bethesda gave the Skyblivion team free Steam keys for the Remastered version. While I agree that we should apply skepticism, actions seem to demonstrate that Bethesda itself is cool with them, so I think it's probably appropriate for any one team member to speak on their behalf as a whole in this regard.

Consent? Ethics? How about fuck you! —those "researchers," probably
