„Enshittified“ implies it was ever not shit.

Stop blaming Christian fundamentalist fascism on gay people.

There wasn’t really much of anything broken at launch. The updates added a couple of QOL changes but the gameplay was much the same. The „insta-fail“ stealth sections were trivial, not really instantly failable and low consequence but I get that the broader market doesn’t really want stealth games with any real consequences (there were similar complaints with a trivial stealth section in FFXIV).

Light bounces. If there’s a white/light coloured or reflective surface behind the camera, it will bounce the colour of the ambient light onto the dress, especially as overexposed as the photo is. What confuses me is where people who see the dress as white think the blue tint is coming from. Shadows don’t work like that.

They often do that for large conventions in Germany in general. At least at a city level.

I left Spotify when they paid Rogan a shitload of money to peddle his crap while making efforts to reduce the share of streaming revenue that independent artists received. Guess we all have our tipping points but I’m surprised it has taken some this long while claiming to care about artists.

This is misdirection. Thiel literally bought a NZ citizenship and is trying to build a bunker there.

It was galling to see „Your Party“ (still a stupid name) fall in line with every other British party on trans issues right from its launch. Talk about missing the point. I found out recently that I technically have British citizenship but I will never exercise it.

Finding out that he did a photo op tearing down homeless camps definitely vindicated my initial bad vibes.

It’s amazing how Rockstar has gotten away with the same linear quest design with rigid boundaries for generations, thrown in a bunch of edgy boomer humour, and is the biggest media property of all time. No accounting for taste.

Following? Make no mistake, TERF island has been pioneering this. The American Right has been funding TERF groups there as a test bed. It’s spilling over into the former territories like NZ too - a few days ago the coalition government there voted through a first reading of a „definition of man and woman“ bill (bills go through three readings before becoming law)

Oh no Jonkler, don’t tell me.

I feel like if you want an evil villager, some villages will just give you theirs for free.

If it were that easy, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Education wouldn’t be under attack, social media wouldn’t be flooded with bots. LLM detection is incredibly unreliable and anyone saying they’ve cracked it is selling snake oil. There are techniques for image diffusion that are holding up currently but text is another story.

Checking a checkbox again relies on these chucklefucks being honest and decent and respectful people which they fundamentally aren’t.

Why do you think the kind of obnoxious cunt who uses an LLM to spam a Linux mailing list would voluntarily use another? AI-bros, as a rule, do not respect others.

I’m beginning to think Daily Beast and the like is a ploy to stop people in the US engaging in direct action. It’s all fire and brimstone tabloid-esque headlines without any follow through.

If agentic LLMs are the prize, I’d be fine with losing.

Where is this idea that game developers are all rich coming from? Artists in the industry don’t get paid much better than a retail wage and programmers could double their salary outside it.

Germany and New Zealand both have a Mixed Member Proportional voting system but centre right coalition governments with a strong far-right influence currently hold the majority in both those countries. Things would undoubtedly be worse with FPTP, but proportional voting is not a magic bullet either.

One of my coworkers told me he doesn’t like hearing the same song twice after I was talking about alternatives to Spotify. I was just baffled.
