Exactly right, Joe.

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it’s not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you’re all good, you can be more assured it’s just bees, but nothing’s 100% certain until you aggravate insects with a stick and test.

I dunno. Todd could be exaggerating…

Yep, Todd probably was entertained.

I go a step further and block them in DDG. This includes any “article” I have to scroll through to find the answer.

So memes; not Shitposts.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of meme communities here. Just type “meme” into search and start hitting that +. I’d also recommend blocking shitpost communities if you don’t like them, especially as it seems you’re viewing an uncurated “All”. Hope that helps :)

The shitpost should be less shitposty?

It’d still work, but that’s against the whole point. I mean, you’re just proving it worked as designed. That’s quality shitposting.

The issue is similar to using other people’s data for profit. It’s easy to not feel that’s the case because “it’s the AI that does that, not me.”

There’s a lot of concerns around it. Mine is that we have longer periods of style with minimal variety because of artist stagnation due to lack of financial backing. Though, this is for all gen AI as it depends on humans for progression, else it stagnates. People are already getting AI art fatigue because it feels like that old 2005–2015 Adobe Illustrato vector art everyone was doing, because it is. It was an incredibly popular and overused style back then, so itt’ brimming with it in comparison to other art styles it got from the internet. It already looks dated, but acceptable because it’s familiar to most. It depends on more artists progressing our art to be able to do the same. But it won’t do that as fast if art culture is slowed due to lack of support.

Because then artists aren’t getting paid but you’re still using their art. The AI isn’t making art for you just because you typed a prompt in. It got everything it needs to do that from artists.

I’ve done this with three friends, moving a couch from one part of the city to another, around 7pm at night. At first carrying seemed easy, but it soon got awkward and tiring. Then we ended up being able to very easily put it on our heads while arms kept it balanced and made excellent progress.

Cops pulled up next to us around halfway, “Sorry guys, I have to ask. What the fuck are you doing?”

“We’re moving this couch from one friend’s place to the other.”

“Yep, thought it’d be something like that, but I had to ask. Be careful crossing streets.”

Near the end, middle guy was resting it on his head too much, it burst through the fabric and he was temporarily couchhead.

Lace it with LSD and it’ll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.

When games are paused, this is just the timeline.

If you truly want the game to pause, you would sit at the loading screen every time you unpaused, as you just stopped everything and it now needs to cache back in to where it was. Once it is all loaded back in, your CPU and memory loaded back up, the game can unpause. The game also has things running to prevent crashes, frame issues, memory management, etc. This is why you get a fair bit on the CPU and RAM even on the opening cinematic, it’s loaded up with all that extra stuff for environment.

Obviously that’s not a pause feature, rather essentially what happens when you save and then load the save.

I’ve never watched it apart from trying a couple episodes and not liking it at all. I don’t even like the memes.

Yeah I said it! Watchya gonna do?! prepares to run

Oof, that was good.

To be fair, it is loading and handling a lot of assets. Lots of little mechanics attached to lots of little objects, all the while simulating.

After Amazon said there’d be more ads recently, yep, more ads tonight. Done with it. My living room is not a marketing platform. It’s finally time to go back to the convenience and ease of piracy.

The new model is based around pirating Clarkson’s Farm and donating to farmers. That’s the point anyway. No need to bring Jeff into it.
