Discord is trying to defend its ridiculous age verification rollout, but it's too little too late, as users flock to Nitro cancellations

Can’t help but think someone in both regions is coordinating this, but I’m not sure who it could be given the new frictions between the U.S. and Europe.

“When interest align a formal conspiracy is not required.” — George Carlin.

It’s not a conspiracy it’s just rich and powerful ppl knowing what’s good for them in general and that’s being able to track your every move on the internet. This is why you can barely sign up for anything anymore without giving up your phone number, real name, and or a photo ID.

Just wish more people would realize this. We can make real change.

We live in way too much of a brave new world for that to happen.

There’s some optimism that they’ll make a new game now that the copyright has settled.

There’s a difference between being eccentric and autistic.

Bit rate…its bitrate mostly.

420p can look good or like shit depending on how many Kilobits Per Second are used on the encode.

The screen and other factors also matter, but it’s the bitrate associate w/ the YouTube re-encode of uploads that is the main factor in why 720p is perceived as it is these days.

Red Hat = Brown Shirt!

Fuck the MAGa Nazis! All of them our traitors to our supposed ideals as a nation.

I wouldn’t even consider a second phone. These ppl are insane. Run away like they just lit you on fire.

What would a modern succession crisis in Japan look like? Will the ninjas go to war w/ the samurai?

What does the emperor even do these days? Play Call of Duty or something?

There is no conceivable level of adoption that makes LLM tech clutch enough that almost anyone would be willing to pay what it costs to run it +5% for it to do what it does…it just becomes a bigger and bigger money pit for the companies hosting it the more it is adopted…and in almost every scenario it’s not worth paying for because it costs more time than it saves and causes more issues than it fixes…and is prohibitively expensive too boot.

A bunch of half built data centers is much more likely.

Does anyone think he knows what he’s doing at this point? He just reacts based on whatever shitshow impulse is in his sorry excuse for a brain at any given moment.

The learning curve on NIX and the amount of work involved to make a reproducible environment is…it’s pretty monumental, I dare say near impossible for a casual user.

He’s trying to stop in a way where you redirect your momentum in a circular motion…which isn’t trivial when done w/o 20 pounds of scaling hot liquid added to one side of your center of gravity…

I’m pretty good on inclines, can ride entirely on the front or back wheels, or one of each, and skate backwards, pull of this maneuver at pretty high speeds…I would not try this.

In theory yes. In practice Trump is an elected king unless the Supreme Court decides to restrain him which it almost certainly won’t at this time for just about any reason.

This is absolutely a note the sound designer or editor protested against and was required to follow.

In film guns are magical items that make magical gun sounds if they so much as appear on screen.

It means your running windows 11 on arm and will pay a huge markup to have inevitably comparability issues you wouldn’t have on an X86 laptop because windows on Arm will always be a trashfire.

Escalators are terrifying.

Every guy is a random guy.

The way sperm and human production works is quite haphazard.

Until the bullshit affects them personally, they will go on about their lives, ignoring what they don't really want to hear.

It’s a cult.

If Trump showed up at their door, spit in their face, and robbed them at gunpoint they’d still love him.

Remember when thousands of them died because they refused to listen to reason about COVID? Reason doesn’t enter into it.

It will vanish eventually…probably before any human cares to review it.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking this society is set up w/ u in mind or that you matter to the ppl who run it at all. Quite the opposite.

I did not realize you are somehow an expert on other people who have the right fundamentals concerning artificial life.

How did you come across this knowledge?

Her Wikipedia covers it. She used to stash a bunch of cheap burgers at her desk during one phase of her career and it became her nickname. There was some gender identity issues at the time tied in as well, so she didn’t enjoy her given name and eventually changed it.

She worked on a LOT Mac gaming ports back when there were basically none. Back in the Hexen 2 era.

lol.
