America didn't drop anything because they weren't saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren't the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.

1.it's a euphemism for "And You Are Lynching Negroes" - that's literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

lol who do you think was saying this, and how is "whataboutism" in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

You're right, nobody can ever know even remotely everything.

Luckily, the same device you used to post that comment can also be used to check if what you are about to say is actually true, so you can prevent yourself from spreading misinformation like this in the future.

I also take money from possible fascists because I need it to survive. It's called having a job.

Or, he just released it before the DNC because that was when it would have the most visibility. Especially when part of what was released was evidence of the DNC conspiring against Bernie Sanders.

Do you see that as pro-Republican just because it was anti-DNC? You could make the same argument that Bernie told him to release it then because it was so favorable to him.

Uh, if I was about to vote for a presidential candidate, and someone had evidence that person was involved in some kind of misconduct, then I'd certainly rather be aware of that before voting for them than after.

Would you not?

I think Wayland is at point now where I'd be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I'm on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.

To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu's reputation.

Losing good reputation or losing bad reputation?

Am I missing something in this article? I'm not defending either company, but it doesn't seem like they actually have any evidence to confirm either is doing this.

The world's top two AI startups are ignoring requests by media publishers to stop scraping their web content for free model training data, Business Insider has learned.

It claims this, but then they say this about the source of this info:

TollBit, a startup aiming to broker paid licensing deals between publishers and AI companies, found several AI companies are acting in this way and informed certain large publishers in a Friday letter, which was reported earlier by Reuters. The letter did not include the names of any of the AI companies accused of skirting the rule.

So their source doesn't actually say which companies are doing this, but then they jump straight into this:

AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are simply choosing to "bypass" robots.txt in order to retrieve or scrape all of the content from a given website or page.

So they're just concluding that based on nothing and reporting it as fact?

Pretty sure they're talking about generative AI created deepfakes being easier than manually cutting out someone's face and pasting it on a photo of a naked person, not comparing Adobe's AI to a different model.

As a communist neo-liberal myself, I think all women in video games and real life should look like straight dogshit.

The only one I can think of is that Source might still have some id code in it from the goldsrc days, but that was before it was open sourced.

I'm playing through Turbo Overkill right now which has the high-poly model and smooth animations but gritty low-res texture thing going on, and I like it. I'd take stylized textures that are visually interesting over boring photorealistic textures in most cases.

Nightdive's System Shock remake is probably my favorite example of that same aesthetic.

The one time I tried playing it the average age of everyone else seemed to be around 10-12, so you might be on to something there.

That I'm not sure of. My proxmox host is headless and none of my containers have a GUI so I haven't tried.

You can also pass the GPU to multiple LXCs that will share it vs it being tied to a single VM. I use VMs as little as possible in Proxmox these days.

How does Hi-Rez even still exist when they have never made a single decent game?

I remember when they tried releasing Global Agenda with a monthly paid subscription. It was shit and no one played it so they switched to no subscription within a year (here's when I got suckered into buying it), but it was still shit and no one played it so it went free to play within another year.

How do you exist as a company for this long with that as your foundation?

I've never heard of this happening before. What does the TV do?

Glad to hear this is being worked on, thanks for sharing this. I assumed it was related to my config and was putting off looking into it further.

lol I switched to CachyOS because it's Arch with less steps, at least as a user
