  • yeah, I'm in the last 1/3 of the game and it's been really good. Getting used to the medieval script in dialogue bubbles took some time, but it's definitely worth it.

  • Oh man, I know what I'm reading tonight.

  • Haha thanks. It's definitely a lot. It's really sad that this kind of thing is what is necessary for smooth interoperability.

  • Can we not use popular racist and fascist slogans for stuff like this?

  • When I was using Windows, I used Adobe Lightroom with the Negative Lab Pro plugin to digitize my film negatives. I've played around with Darktable, and it does the job, but it's a lot more fiddly, and it discourages me from processing film.

  • A Verizon rep told me the other day that their cellular home internet is just as good as my symmetric gigabit fiber service. Fuck these companies.

  • As long as people keep buying this slop and as long as game studios don't have strong unions, things will continue to degrade.

  • My partner and I make just over $100k pretax. There is no way we can afford kids. Rent + bills is roughly $4000/month and we have a combined $130k in student loan debt. The cheapest home we could buy in my area is $450k.

  • Are you asking about System Updates, the GrapheneOS App Store, Google Play Store, Aurora Store, F-Droid, or something else?

    Edit: Didn't check to see what community this was posted in. My bad. It doesn't auto-update for me either.

  • I know that. I mean why are they not part of this agreement with the Internet Archive.

  • Why the hell aren't UT2004 and UT3 in there as well?

  • different service ;)

  • They're funded by a parent organization with a crypto coin, and they explicitly state hosting AI models as one of their main goals. No thanks.

  • There are, however, also those who simply defer to the powerful — that assume that "this much money can't be wrong," even if said money has been wrong repeatedly to the point that there's an entire website about it. They are the people that look at the current crop of powerful tech companies that have failed to deliver any truly meaningful innovation in years and coo like newborn babes. Look at the coverage of Sam Altman from the last year — you know, the guy who has spent years lying about what artificial intelligence can do — and tell me why every single thought he has must be uncritically cataloged, his every decision applauded, his every claim trumpeted as certain, his brittle company's obvious problems apologized for and readers reassured of his obvious victory.

    Nowhere is this more obvious right now than in The Guardian's nonsensical decision to abandon Twitter, decrying how "X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse" mere weeks after printing, bereft of context, Elon Musk's ridiculous lies about his plans for cybertaxis. There is little moral quality to leaving X if your outlet continues to act as a stenographer for its leader, and this in fact suggests a lack of any real interest in change or progress, just the paper tiger of norms and values that will only end up depriving people of good journalism.

  • as a warning shot and for publicity. it's a good tactic.

  • My body, my life, my choice. Get over it, mom.
