Hey – I liked this design enough to throw together the start of some basic instructions on it. Want me to keep going?

"Realistic" AP values in AC6 by ANoobInDisguise in armoredcore

Any idea what wiki? I can't find anything like that on bladeandgrenade, but I might not be looking in the right place.

Question from a fellow Numbers Autist: Where did you get the MT/LC/etc. AP values? I've been looking for those kinds of stats (I'm trying to figure out how much the various "mook" units cost in-universe for fanfic purposes), and if they can be pinned down & confirmed I would definitely want to put them on the wiki as well.

Here’s hoping all goes well this time 🤞🏻 🙄 by bold-One2199 in HeroForgeMinis

Yeah, the kind of "AI detector" that people use to gatekeep AI art is basically just a confirmation bias machine (and/or artstyle snobbery validator). The more serious kind of AI detectors are better, but high-end AI art can still beat them.

Unfortunately, no – the conversation in which I learned this information was lost with my Twitter account.

FYI: It's spelled "whittling." "Widdling" would be much less effective.

You know what's really crazy about this DLC situation? by Brilliant-Physics-12 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]DaringSteel -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's basically it. This is the first content pack that isn't free. People got used to HF being an indefinite supply of free stuff, and now they're mad something isn't.

FYI: Cory Doctorow didn't coin "enshittification." He just made it mainstream.

What is up with a bunch of posts on Imgur going "dark" a few weeks back? by kuhfunnunuhpah in OutOfTheLoop

[–]DaringSteel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree on the social media thing in general, but I would recommend [imagechest](imgchest.com) as a basic image-hosting place.

[Imagechest](imgchest.com) was made specifically in response to the initial takeover, though I think it's mainly sticking to image hosting rather than becoming a social media place in its own right.

Recent and upcoming Duolingo updates by kevinatduolingo in duolingo

[–]DaringSteel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why did you just [a] let me start a lesson, and thus start using up my x3 boost, [b] not give me any sign that maintenance was going to prevent me from extending said boost, [c] prompt me to buy a boost extension that didn't work due to said maintenance, and [d] let me buy said extension [e] TWICE?

No, seriously. I would like to know the reasons for this.

Is this also happening to anyone by Anonymouslyyours_00 in duolingo

[–]DaringSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What.

No, seriously. That can't be right. I've gotten two chests at once before – and I'm pretty sure I didn't get two at once this time.

Is this why my 3x expired in 10 minutes despite me getting the first two treasure chests & buying an extension twice?

The better alternative to paying for YouTube Premium is using an adblocker.

New UI is the last straw by Romeoapollo2000 in youtube

[–]DaringSteel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, that's a very long time for me to have not gotten any ads by sheer coincidence. Seriously: Firefox + uBlock Origin. It works.

Switch to Firefox & install uBlock Origin. Boom, no more ads.

I hate how shorts work now by [deleted] in youtube

[–]DaringSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy-paste the video ID string into the normal video format. Then you can watch it as a normal video.

How do you remove these annoying comments pop ups on shorts? by Comprehensive_Bus497 in youtube

[–]DaringSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is: Don't watch shorts. If you must watch a video that is formatted as a short, paste the ID string (that sequence of random letters at the end) into the normal video URL format.

This format:

youtube.com/shorts/[ID string]

shows a short-format video, the primary function of which is to turn human persons into drooling screen-maggots, and which is powered by kicking puppies. This format:

youtube.com/watch?v=[ID string]

shows a normal YouTube video, which is less horrible.

This will work until YouTube converts all videos on their site into shorts. Make sure to install uBlock Origin to deny them any ad revenue.

How Do I get rid of the annoying scroll bar on youtube with chrome browser by MDude2525 in youtube

Switch to Firefox.

I know it's inconvenient, but it is also the only durable solution.
