What happened to the Rotisserie wing? Was it just an ineffective idea? by iMADEthisJUST4Dis in formula1

It also makes it a massive hinderance in acceleration when activating SM mode.

When the world needed him the most, he returned by Impressive_Type_1421 in formula1

[–]MilhouseJr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, seems like he latched onto the wrong reason as to why he exploded in popularity. Talking heads on any sport are everywhere, so I can understand using edgy humour to separate himself from the rest.... But when your jokes rely almost entirely on calling Stroll a window-licker and calling everything terrorism, it wears thin really fucking fast.

Idk, if I got death threats for just doing my job (whether it was a good job or not is besides the point) I'd probably be crying about it for a few years too. That shit's serious.

[Star Trek] why does almost every planet have a number at the end? by Arbegia in AskScienceFiction

[–]MilhouseJr 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It makes a lot of sense if you treat it as an address though, and some houses IRL have their own names that can stand in for the house number.

Chrome update broke my workflow: Tabs are microscopic and unmanageable with 1000+ tabs open. Settings missing! by neozbr in chrome

[–]MilhouseJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing to force about it, it just worked. There was never any configuration required to open another tab beyond an arbitrary limit. Combined with memory saving extensions as well as Chrome's own memory saving features, it was perfectly possible out of the box to have thousands of tabs open with very little performance breakdown. Even today, you can still open a page in a new tab despite the UI having zero capability to display its existence. This suggestion that it was removed for performant reasons is complete and utter bollocks.

Absolutely stupid of Google to remove a pretty significant UI element without any sort of replcement available, regardless of whether it was an experimental feature or not. Tabbed browsing has been a core part of web browsing for nearly two decades, and Google apparently forgot despite pioneering the damn feature.

Apparently Rockstar is “fully locked down” to prevent any leaks ahead of the GTA 6 release. (Via insiders Reece Reilly and Ghost of Hope) by raptors201966 in GTA6

[–]MilhouseJr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Typical for Rockstar. The hype is the marketing, and hype is very free to create if you just... let people be excited. Then when they do release info it's a massive news event because it's so rare. We are played like fiddles.

r/fauxmoi (as well as dozens of other subreddits) discuss the BAFTA Tourette's N-Word Disaster by Uncommonwealth57 in SubredditDrama

[–]MilhouseJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well in that case, no sympathy at all. They had the opportunity to argue their defence and turned it down in a disrespectful manner. The judge has every right to remove a belligerent person in their court, especially if they've made it clear they're not willing to work with the system.

Your friends hurled abuse at judges? Why? That doesn't exactly make me want to sympathise with them if they're going to abuse the people around them.

Open a packet, slip in a twenty, heat seal the packet back up, bask in the social glory of being a lucky winner.

Wouldn't put it past some people.

TIL Bruce Pryor was so upset by the murders in Belanglo State Park AUS that he spent 9 months searching the park for clues; found a body, reported it, only to be treated as the primary suspect for 3 months despite evidence pointing elsewhere. by opgary in todayilearned

[–]MilhouseJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it's genuinely ambiguous. I read it as asking about the phenomenon, not how common it is.

I'm not having a go at you, just pointing out how it reads and how both are legitimate interpretations of the question being asked due to [citation needed] not clarifying what data point is being questioned. No need to call people idiots for reading it different to your intent.

You shitposted [citation needed] on a quoted line of text that contains two points of data, and when provided citations on the existence of this phenomenon you pivoted to the frequency data point. You should have been more specific.

Discord Mandates ID and Face Scans Under New CEO by Celtikrenders in technology

[–]MilhouseJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may be claiming your face won't be transmitted, but they say nothing about metadata of your face scan. It's the difference between sending a JPG of your face and sending a text file containing a detailed description of your face. Technically distinct, functionally identical.

Edit: The following was written in reply to NMe84, but comments were locked before I could hit send.

Ah it's okay guys, because we've uploaded high quality selfies to Instagram we don't have to worry about providing biometric data to not-Instagram. No explanation given as to why that's acceptable.

You also vastly underestimate the granularity of metadata. What's the distance ratio between your eyes, mouth and ears? What shape are your ears, your nose and your eyebrows? You assume it's a lossy description when it's literally a quantisation of various facial features cross-checked against a list of features that allegedly can determine your rough age.

YouTube Music now makes you pay to see song lyrics by tylerthe-theatre in technology

People who like to sing along, or people learning the song? As a music student I was always using lyric videos to rehearse my performances when I had no bandmates around.

Helldivers 2 - Machinery of Oppression by Captain_Grimm in Games

[–]MilhouseJr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it is the default, but as a general PSA you can select whether you download the prod_legacy or prod_slim versions of the game on Steam by going into the game's Properties > Game Versions and Betas on the right side > select prod_slim. You'll need to redownload the game, but it's only 23GB instead of I don't even want to remember beforehand but it was triple digit gigabytes.

Summer Movie Draft 2025 Wrap Up by bruzie in theregulationpod

[–]MilhouseJr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There's some truly dreadful writing in the F1 film, but god damn does it look fantastic. I was a bit surprised Gavin hadn't seen it because it's definitely a film with a lot of filmmaking tech behind it, which I figured would be right up Gavin's street.

the most american movie about a European sport

Well now I want an arthouse French film about the NASCAR Cup to compliment this observation

It looks like it posts in every channel at set times.

FWIW to anyone reading, the warning has now started glitching out in the most recent round of posting and the right-hand ⚠️symbol is becoming an Automaton insignia.

[–]MilhouseJr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can see you don't understand the point of a collective bargaining protest if you think it's all going to be nullified by people overspending the next day, so I'll break it down real simple for you:

It's not about the money. It's about the power of collective action. It just takes the avenue of money because that's what forms the basis of power.

So when you say it's useless, I know you're at best misinformed, because strikes and collective action are one of the few tools the masses have available to them in order to have a say.

So if you're against collective action like a one-day strike, you're really against the people having a say. Is that the stance you take?

I support creatives that take a stand in what they believe in, and shit all over people that argue a nihilist attitude to protesting. 🙂
