The best damned band in the land

The leather link watch band is the most comfortable band I’ve ever used. Amazon still has them for 50$. half what I paid

Makes sense. I would have quit sooner if it was up to me.

He came so hard

In a sofa

It looked like, Diet Mountain Deeeeew

I’m not reading anymore of this thread, but go move to the EU and request all the data those companies you mentioned have on you. You will see a truly staggering amount of your day to day info from some of them. Facebook and google are just advertising companies trying to get their thumbs in every pie they can convince enough people to buy into. Part of that is designing their products to require phoning home. The issue isn’t signing in. Signing in is just the trojan horse to make sure every bit of data they pull from you is tied to the right advertising account ID. They shouldn’t be allowed to continue to do that, even if they have enough money to lobby for its legality. Even if every single company on earth was freely doing it to the same degree people should still push for a change.

The business world is truly a slippery slope. Google made unethical digital advertising into a major market, and now even if they close shop somebody else will come fill the gap. The only way to put the power back in people’s hands is to regulate them out of existence but that will never happen if most people don’t even know it’s happening because you can’t even fucking complain about it on the internet without a hundred reply thread jfc

Not separated enough for me. I know all the big companies are bad, but I won’t touch google/fb hardware.

What a coincidence, I just got into Tunnet the other day. It’s an amazing game. I can’t believe how smoothly it runs and my network’s at 180KB/s. IDK anything else in bevy though, I just heard of it through Tunnet.

Looting API keys makes way more sense. They must have been stuck using GPT2 to write that incoherent statement.

If you want to make a pie from scratch…

I’m sure there’s plenty of people that make their living (or maybe barely scrape by) off digital art that are affected by this so I can understand some touchiness. I mean why pay $100 for an account avatar or other small commissions when you can generate it yourself in one second. But also, why pay a scribe to copy an entire book by hand when a printing press does it faster? The only difference in these statements is that hand scribe wasn’t a widespread profession 5 years ago.

To me an artist is someone who uses tools to realize their vision. As technology progresses so do the tools. ComfyUI is leagues better of a tool than something like DallE will ever be, but no the entirety of “AI Generated Art” is a ~sin~ and must be attacked. Oh, not the corporate zeitgeist heisters, but instead the users of the community driven software.

I really don’t understand this. All these search engine companies give millions of users a single button to create the most soulless art you’ve ever seen, but instead of caring about that they attack the tool that most enables the user to have control over their generation. You can argue that unlimited competition is bad for commission artists, but this attack is not “Pro Art”.

Using creative cloud isn’t a sin, but helping maintain Adobes industry stranglehold should be.

I’m so happy my 4000 miles last year cost me upfront half of what they pay gradually over a year. And yet the roads are still mediocre.

In many different areas. This is the per year registration fees in Ohio. These fees are meant to compensate for road damage, which is calculated based on vehicle weight. Except Ohio just said “well batteries are heavy, charge them.”

A lifted diesel super duty getting 12mpg will run you 0 dollars and 0 cents whereas even a plug in hybrid runs 150$ per year. Completely independent from the weight of the vehicle.

Biden can do what he wants but conservative states will constantly delay the transition to EVs, slowing adoption, infrastructure and the publics willingness at every opportunity.

If anybody reading this is voting against Biden because of Palestine (effectively a vote for trump under fptp) these are trumps #1 fans and bill payers

Pro trump is not pro Palestine.

I missed most of it. I was busy in Kvatch all day. It’s a shame, I really could have used that speedwalking class

People hate on apple coming out with features later than other companies but then they usually blow the competition out of the water in terms of ux. It’s not marketing them better, it’s implementing better.

It’s like valve helping develop proton vs making another nvidia shield or windows handheld.

I forget where I read it but I think they’re pushing a republican rider with it to “outlaw foreign election money” or something. Which is funny since the biggest election interference I’ve seen was a “newspaper” I got last year, filled with disinfo and sent from Illinois. Probably from the Illinois republican billionaire that spent a boat load of money fighting weed/abortion in a state he doesn’t have any business being in.

You can, you’ll just have to come pile it up

Ah I should have looked at git. I checked this sub and didn’t see anything. Love the app, lookin forward to v2. Keep it up.

Maybe if you take it as written but it will always be enforced unequally. In my rural ass troop there was a very heavy christian implication from scout leaders, and my parents. They didn’t end up forcing me to say it, but it was a very uncomfortable day of adults I was supposed to be able to trust repeatedly pressuring me to publicly announce my belief and helplessness in the face of a fairy tale. Not the only day I was religiously pressured either.

So the iPad line mostly mimics the iPhone line again except the regular iPad and mini are left, unupdated, to become the SE line. the mini was literally all i was interested in seeing updated. I haven’t read much, was the price cut at least? *no it was not

I think I finally isolated my issue with the alarms. It’s CarPlay. It resets my alarm audio to 0% after I disconnect. I just set up an “audio level reset” shortcut that sets alarm volume to 80% and set it to run when CarPlay disconnects.

Payday 3 has online only lobbies. On launch nobody could play for weeks because they were entirely overrun. Truly a baffling decision after the steam deck launch, probably made because they had some deal with their server provider. All while also competing with payday 2.

Just checked and payday 2 is sitting at 20k current players while 3 is still <300.

For comparison helldivers launched several months later, also had always online with launch server capacity issues, at a much higher scale, and fixed them within a week. That’s with Sony resources backing them, but still. Payday was out for weeks before it was playable for most.

Just checked for laughs and helldivers 1 has more players than payday 3 right now.

Payday 3 worked fine for me before the full release overloaded the always online servers for weeks. It’s a funner game than payday 2 but always online is ridiculous. I don’t want developers to just get away with that in the future.

Acknowledgment of reality is leagues beyond what 95% of the gop is capable of.

Nobody tell Terrance Howard.

One party in particular benefits more from making those non issues into dog and pony shows. The bullshit asymmetry principle.

Sorry, we can’t enforce any insurrection charges. Ohios AG Dave Yost is too busy restarting the death penalty and going after 10 year olds for getting abortions.

As an American, the churches here are pooling resources to buy politicians and hospitals in low income areas to enforce their views on abortion and gender healthcare. The church is a business and religion is the advertisement that keeps that evil funded.

I’ve never seen the amount of pro religion comments as I’ve seen in this thread. And they’re all so… coughGPTcough ….verbose.

When Haley drops there will absolutely be unallocated repubs angry with trump.

The guy chose to commit the crime. The republicans are looking for anything that sticks in their idiot bases brain and “Biden chooses to pardon anti trump criminal” will be on the fox or oan scroll until it’s burned into their eyes. Pardoning is Biden’s option, but if he does, that helps trump with his base in a tight race. Obviously he wouldn’t pardon.

Trump and his base already conflate his many court cases catching up to him as the DOJ sent to stop a political rival. If Biden just pardoned the person who “stole” Trumps taxes, we’d hear about it nonstop til November.

There’s still notepad, but Windows 11 office suite is already subscription only. They’re only taking wordpad out so people who don’t know better are pushed to buy in to the racket.

You know the kind of guy who does nothing but browse the internet and then wonders why his life sucks? One by one I’m gonna make up for all the grass I didn’t touch.

I feel like Jumper or limitless could do something interesting with time loops

A man of culture I see. This was my first controller, complete with years of grime. I think I had an old Logitech DualShock clone next.

It works but it was so much better on 3D Touch. You could 3D Touch the entire keyboard and swipe.

RIP

Judging from what they said, it took a year to come to fruition and a week to poison the apple. The current kindergarteners are gonna be grown and graduated by the time the red tape lets way for another vote on the matter. Why not just make bills strictly about the thing they are proposing?

desaturates you
