They are pointing out that there's loads of good games on Steam that don't cost $80, given the prevalence of such good games there really isn't justification for that price point.

The picture shows that a game that is yet to be released (I actually thought it was already out but apparently not) is only £35 ($45) If you want the bundle which gives you two games it's only an extra £1

Personally I'm not that interested in snow runners it just seems like an infuriating game, but the fact that you can get it for virtually nothing is interesting.

You know all of the promises that Boris Johnson the enormously deceitful individual gave. How he'd be able to negotiate all our own trade deals with India and Australia and suddenly those countries would randomly want to trade with us. Where did those trade deals go?

How are we better out of the EU than we are in it if our biggest trading partner remains the EU and therefore all of our policies and business practises have to be in line with EU requirements in order for them to accept our goods. What we seem to have voted for is to still be under EU rules but to have lost any ability to have an input on them.

You appear to be defining success according to your own definition so you can claim victory where none was achieved. You are defining success as it was done, yeah we left but we got zero benefit out of it.

Yeah but we're not exactly living in the utopian society that we were promised. If anything brexit has proven to be as disastrous as everyone who opposed it predicted.

The brexit voters are utterly unprepared to accept they made a mistake so they are casting around to find reasons to blame everyone but themselves. Clearly somebody did something wrong clearly there was some evil cabal intent on ruining it for them.

That just seems to be how it goes in this country.

It starts with the Tories being out of power and Labour being in power, Labour do a bunch of things that piss people off and eventually this results in them losing power and the Tories gaining it, then you have about 10 or 15 years of the Tories utterly devastating everything because they're a bunch of incompetent and corrupt politicians, everyone gets sick of that, votes them out and Labour back in. Labour remain in power until they've pissed off enough people again and everyone's forgotten how bad the last conservative government was. Repeat.

The point is though if you actually look at the data, things do improve under Labour for all of the other bad things they do, they are better at politics than the conservatives.

I think it might take a little longer to get everything back up and running than you're anticipating. Also what library haven't they all closed down now?

It's all right, Trump will redirect the solar flare by drawing a new line on a chart. Plasma is very accommodating as everybody is well aware.

I'm pretty sure that the licence also requires that you link to the source code. You can't just have it up "somewhere" and just expect people to find it.

But you're prepared to allow people to have a second home when you realise that most people can't even afford the first. That's generous I don't think I'd be that generous.

Does that mean it can't run on the steam deck then?

I don't think there is one I think the only way to do that would be to wander around with a bunch of .iso files and install what is needed where. At that point I think I'd rather just deal with Microsoft.

Not sure how they really expected any other outcome.

I know someone with a Parrot, he definitely has core beliefs, mostly about how much attention you should pay to him and food.

Why would it? You already have your own import documents to inspire you, and no one's doing anything

Most countries have been engaging in cyber warfare for a while now. I'm sure Japan already was doing this.

Now it's legal apparently. So that's nice.

Bet it just appended a string onto the end of all prompts

Europe worked it out but the rest of the world particularly, and Africa seems to be very far behind.

Of course the United States insistence on claiming that communism was the same thing as Nazism certainly didn't help.

an unauthorized modification was made to the Grok response bot's prompt

Oh yeah happens all the time accidentally modifying your AI, anyone has access, I bet it was the janitor.

Believe it or not his father is even more stupid than he is. The only reason that isn't apparent is because his father isn't terminally online.

That whole family is just a big pile of apples right beneath the tree.

Placeholder art should go in the place folder art folder. Then just before release you delete the placeholder folder.

It's surprising how few people at the top you need to change in order to change a company culture. One of the companies that I regularly work with has gone from being a nightmare because we could never get information out of them, to a nightmare because of how whiny and demanding they've become. That was the result of the CEO changing, that's it one person and it results in a totally different corporate personality.
