Gonna catch'em all!

You don't inherit a lease to a house your parents rented.

Not that I'm happy with "buying" a game actually being "getting a license" instead of actually owning it. Gamepass and the like should be the renting model, not when you pay a game full price.

Appeasement or having Ukraine bleed Russia slowly rather than decisively kick them out. The US would rather keep Russia busy and weakened than back to their usual shenanigans. Sadly it's the Ukrainians who have to pay the heftier price of this.

It's sadly more boring than that. Not lizard people, just sociopaths.

I was trying to find a word for a government ruled by sociopaths but I guess "fascism" fits fine.

And good is way better than Trump/Republican/conservative's bad.

I get it Americans, Biden sucks but Trump is horrific, no contest.

Since a decade or more? Machine learning-based text translation is the reason we get such fantastic automatic translations these days.

It's not an LLM. LLM is AI but not all AI is LLM.

I kind of hate how machine learning and LLM and a whole bunch of other things are thrown together into "AI" to leverage the hype cycle but that's tech life.

"What is that horrible creature!?! Look at those terrible claws!"

There's AI and there's AI. I really like that Firefox has local models for translating content. Them adding AI that describes images for visually impaired people is pretty cool.

The article's author was the Editor-in-chief of Vice's Motherboard as stated in his bio.

Let's not forget the grooming or at very least his very young partners.

Nukes need high explosives. The most modern ones use extremely stable explosives but some of the Cold War era accidents in the US often did go boom but not BOOOOOOOM.

Still bad exploding weapons-grade radioactive material. Thankfully not as bad as a nuclear explosion.

I have serious doubts about how "clean" even a modern nuke is but modern weapons are supposedly more efficient and therefore cleaner than WW2 equivalents. The other factor is where the bomb is detonated.

At ground level, it irradiates and throws up more material than if it is detonated high up in the air in an air burst configuration.

In any case, any kind of nuke crosses a diplomatic line that would bring a world of hurt against Putin which is not worth the tactical win. His nukes are way more useful as a saber to rattle to scare off Western countries from supporting Ukraine too effectively out of fear of escalation.

I could only see Putin use nukes in a desperate last-ditch defense against invaders at Moscow's gates.

Thanks you! Fixed.

I feel you. I'm a left winger and target shooting is one my hobbies so I have a lot of respect for firearm safety.

It hurts watching firearms handling in movies, watching people doing potentially lethal stupid things with them when more. There a just a handful of very sensible rules to follow and they are designed so that following at least a couple of them at the same time can prevent a tragedy. Yet people want to look cool and ignore every single one and inevitably blood is spilled.

All the knowledge in the world at our fingertips and this is how some choose to use the Internet. It's heartbreaking.

It's worse than you could imagine. There's a trend of people filming themselves repeatedly pulling the slack off their trigger with fully loaded Glocks. Pointed at their dick !

The Darwin Awards competition is tough.

Edit: grammar

"Jesus loves sinners" but that's about it and a bit of a Catch-22 at it.

Well, the best way to stop a bad guy with an avocado is a good guy with an avocado.

The whole point of TST is to shed light on conservative hypocrisy.

Sony hurting itself in confusion as it often does.

Making great games is supposed to be the hard part yep they keep fumbling the delivery.
