I like me some tech discussion and freedom.
Thank the sky above for the 1st and 2nd amendments.
Reality is best seen as absurd.
Wow, finally, a doll for me!
Redistricting should be done by mathematics, because clearly people can’t be trusted for it.
Honestly, I have no real clue.
Twitch isn’t quite completely impervious to adblockers, with proxy extensions allowing us to skip ads still for now, but YouTube could do the exact same thing tomorrow if they wished. uBlock Origin wouldn’t save you, SponsorBlock wouldn’t save you, the only thing that could be done would be a black screen whenever an ad pops up.
Maybe YouTube doesn’t want to fall into the hole Twitch is in, with the proxy loophole, and they view fighting adblockers as a better choice than having to spend a massive amount of encoding expense to have the silver bullet in every country.
Man, that is an unfortunate wikipedia page this picture is on.
Elon Musk running a dating app sounds like the biggest dumpster fire in human history.
You know what, actually, go Elon! I wanna see the trainwreck play out.
Netanyahu quitting while there are rockets going into his country? Will never happen.
They didn’t behead babies!
They only use their own citizens as human shields and parade tourists around like war spoils before killing them. Such shining examples of humanity Hamas is.
Alright, Czech guy, are you gonna put your constituents’ money where your mouth is and help build up Europe’s defense force? Or are you not gonna change a thing because you know the US will continue to act as the world police?
I think you know which one you’ll choose.
Ban weed smoking too.
Things like edibles, sure let 'em have it, but we’ve only just gotten to the point where life doesn’t smell like nicotine anymore, we shouldn’t be replacing that with everything smelling like weed.
Do I pirate? Yes.
My philosophy? I don’t wanna pay for it.
Honestly, with the exception of abandonware that can’t legally be bought anywhere, piracy can’t be legitimately excused. If you do it, you do it because you want something that you should pay for, but don’t wanna. Which is a choice you can make, I won’t hate you for it, but own that instead of pretending that you have a logical moral argument to getting it.
It is bad for the consumer… but the alternative is instant cracks, as seen with a lot of games on r/Crackwatch that don’t have the DRM.
Denuvo is the first software in a long time that has been able to successfully stop the supposedly inevitable march to cracking. It’s a miracle that more AAA devs don’t use it, since it works so well. (EMPRESS aside)
You can hate me all you want for saying this, but the war against piracy, for the most part, has been won.
Fuck Elon, but dammit, Tesla cars look sleek, this guy is wrong.
And Superchargers >>>> Every other charger as of right now.
pfffffffffffffffff
I want to be sympathetic, but honestly, I’m just not.
Web3 was a mistake from the beginning.
Overall a good idea. Yeah, there are potential legal issues that could potentially come up if court cases go against the AI gen companies, but that’s the bridge that will get crossed if (not necessarily when) it comes to it.
One thing I don’t get though is the whole “guardrail” thing on live-gens. There is no system that is 100% preventable from someone getting it to say problematic stuff.
If Anthropic and OpenAI can’t screw it down all the way, how can some game company do it? In practice, this’ll mean that basically no game will come with a live service AI. This is like tying people saying stuff in voice chat to the company running the multiplayer servers.
Well-intentioned idea, but not gonna actually work.
