I love the movement etc. in Prototype 2! 100%ed it more than once, it’s just too fun. Surely we’ll get the sequel any day now 🥲

A lion does not concern himself with the opinions of sheep.

So please don’t be mean, sheep, or the lion will start crying.

Weird question to ask through radio, over.

AI could be useful if it could orchestrate more complex tasks that the relevant apps don’t natively support. But of course that’s not what we’re getting.

I use lots and lots of timers every day to structure my chores and work. For example, I’d sometimes love to be able to start one timer, and have another one set to automatically start as soon as I stop the ringing from the first (which might take a few minutes).

Very simple requirements, but specialized enough that I’d have to write it myself. But I can’t see phone AIs supporting something like this in this decade.

That’s good! But I’d still prefer if I and the other 44% could at least say “please stop producing and sending us trash”.

They should really make mailed advertisements opt-in, but of course the industry won’t do that. And this what makes it cancerous IMO: they never give up trying to inject ads into people’s lives.

OTOH, it seems like ~44% of junk mail gets thrown away without ever being opened: https://zerojunkmail.org/environmental-impact

That’s a bunch of environmental destruction and personal annoyances caused, so the label “cancer” seems fair to me.

Yes, it’s pretty common knowledge that this is how many fashion trends were set. Unless you’re educated in the field and know that pop sci is wrong on this, there are less condescending ways to ask this.

It’s cool that you enjoyed it! But there’s no need to pretend that this is a binary choice. Guardians of the Galaxy is also capeshit with a stoic woman, yet IMO Gamorra is a much more interesting character than Captain Marvel.

I also liked many parts of the movie, but some other parts were big enough misses that I’m not really interested in rewatching.

A good alternative is to find ways to make people smile instead :)

Yes, and since that’s the wrong place I kept looking, and found the link I just sent you

I’m guessing it’s this? https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/js/src/builtin/Array.cpp

That’s a different kind of array (Float32Array etc.), not the “normal” kind.

Ah yes, sorry, I forgot we’re deliberately ignoring all nuance. So I agree: no matter from which perspective we look at it, there’s literally zero reason for the politicians to show a stronger reaction towards completely losing their own power to the fascist regime.

Of course they do if they don’t want an open confrontation with the state’s own forces.

The economic angle is already obvious, but even if we leave that aside: the more people see a film, the more people will see her likeness used without her consent.

You’re trolling, right? I can’t imagine why I’d have to explain this otherwise.

Laws aren’t magical spells that change reality. If Republicans introduce a law saying “you must have a passport to vote”, people can still vote without a passport as long as nobody prevents them from doing so. Republicans can send ICE to polling stations in blue states to prevent people from voting without a passport.

Seems pretty important to me.

Oh yeah, because it’s simply impossible for them to send ICE into blue states to “secure the elections”

Seems pretty freaking important, given how residuals work?

Yeah, I find it hard to believe this wasn’t their goal, especially considering they found this bug in testing and still released the update: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47994193
