  • damn, your description reminded me of my experience with laptops running off a 5k rpm hdd using windows 8. sorry for assuming.

  • Americans, your Social Credit system is on its way, which is the perfect tool for fascism to crush dissidents.

    I am truly sorry for you if you cannot mount effective resistance against this monstrosity.

  • try to get a ssd from somewhere, that gives devices like yours a second life (and if you switch to linux it gets even smoother - sorry i couldn't resist)

  • Please get an appointment with an psychiatrist and start looking out for an therapist before the ruminations (that's what that is called) turn darker. A partner will not help with this more than in the short term, I speak from long years of experience.

    There are multiple probable causes for ruminations: depression, trauma and personality disorders are the most common ones. only a psychiatrist can get you an correct diagnosis, which will help pinpoint where the ruminations come from, but the way out is always therapy.

    But you can be sure that you are not bad or gross or something like that - your mind is just fixated on bad thoughts and experiences. Others will have a completely different picture of you. Knowing how my mind works when caught in my "loop", you don't believe one word of that, but it still needed to be said :-)

  • IIRC that was caused by a buffer underflow, his probability to try to go nuclear was set to literally zero, which was stored in an unsigned int, and in-game policies reduced it further, causing a nuke-maxing ghandi

  • That whole pamphlet is creepy as fuck.

    • The President looks like she would praise the lord while you get punished for "being not faithful enough" or some shit
    • The Mum in the Mother/Daughter photo smiles like a shark before a good meal
    • The adult man in the first box of the comic strip has the look of a predator fixated on Ronny
    • The face of the child in front of the PC says "let me out of this crazy cult which put a tie on me for home school"
    • In the description of the 4 elements of the "Reading Enhancement Program" the word "drill" is used a total of 8 times.
    • During the "Service Adventure" (something like a int'l exchange program to help/proselytize to the poor unwashed masses in mexico) the person from Thailand said that he learned survival skills like eating new tastes of food and drinks, sleeping on the floor and learning carpentry and sewing (the last two things are at least useful)
    • The most important thing for impoverished children around the world isn't food, water, a safe place to sleep and education, but... the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
  • Austria also has a few ice hockey clubs, had a few years where i was pretty often going to the matches. it's been a few years, but playoffs got around 4k visitors in vienna around 2010. Slovenia also has a few.

  • and one of the few where withdrawal can actually kill you. So if you wanna stop, please consult an NGO or clinic specializing in withdrawal!

  • when disney wins there will be nothing left to sue, with the result that now the entertainment industry, which has the available training data, will also have the AI technology, and the only one who profits is disney - because in this situation all open source GenAI is fucked.

  • If the penalty is a fine, then for most it's just the cost of doing business. I agree that the 50% is probably a bit harsh, but executive boards and CEOs must start facing real consequences like jail time or painful fines that make it impossible to just ignore it - so it has to be based of a percentage of revenue at least in the double digits, not profits or a fixed amount.

  • It's a distant cousin of mine!

  • in the "supporting information" is a video of all 5 study participants btw

  • I understand completely. When you are done with that pawn, please get some cleaning materials and remove the shit from the table.

  • Valve will not change at least as long as Gaben is in command, and since it's a money printing machine for the owner I'm pretty sure it will stay consumer friendly for quite a bit longer than Gaben. Enshittification is a direct consequence of a company being beholden to shareholders more than anything else, and in this case there are none.

  • Yup, i do this too - my personal highlight was crying at ... Wall-e, when he thinks that Eve died.

    I'm over 40, and this started 10 or 15 years ago, when i started to go to therapy a lot more.

    But i think it's great to be able to live and feel with imaginary characters, and a sign of empathy.

  • Premium Lite does not include access to YouTube Music - or else the ads on music videos wouldn't be seen. (That's the only thing i can understand on this bastardized version of a premium service)

  • I am not a native speaker, but my knowledge of the english language is better than most people i know, having no issues reading scientific papers and similar complex documents. Some wikipedia article intros, especially in the mathematics, are not comprehensible for anyone but mathematicians, and therefore fail the objective to give the average person an overview of the material.

    It's fine for me if i am not able to grasp the details of the article because of missing prerequisite knowledge (and i know how to work with integrals and complex numbers!), but the intro should at least not leave me wondering what the article is about.

  • Yeah, they get open sourced by publishing them over the usual channels during disputes on the War Thunder discord server.
