It’s supposed to be in the game but in the main menu instead of the pause menu. They’ve had main menu popups for dlc for years, not sure if I’ve seen ads for other games before.

Yeah, not sure why it feels the need to mimic the appearance of social media when replaying an old joke. Does it make it appear more spontaneous?

Most honey wouldn’t be vegan but perhaps an abandoned hive could be harvested. Or infertile eggs from an abandoned nest? Bits of sheep’s wool collected from a spiky bush?

You’ve forgotten the sauce and haven’t toasted the bread, 4/10

It would probably taste alright and is reasonably nutritious, but it’s not right.

Why are you hating on poor people? Do you think punching down makes good comedy?

And yet very few people actually get to launch nukes these days. One rule for them and another for us.

It’s all human readable abstractions for 0s and 1s, isn’t it? Unless you’re working with quantum computers.

We want to draw the line somewhere, so my mum on FB doesn’t call herself a programmer for creating a post, but it’s not very clear where to put that line. I think it has to depend on the context, you could tell your hairdresser you’re a programmer to avoid the unnecessary details, but wouldn’t describe it as such in a job interview.

I’d like to assume the compliance plan involves that - or at least moving it to a safer orbit - but it’s probably more likely the plan is just saying “we won’t do it again”.

You got me. I’ll try harder.

I lost pretty quickly on my first attempt, but I’m feeling confident about my second run! I’d let you know how it gets on, but…

I’ll believe it when they execute one

If they’re stealing it from people, I think I’d do something. But corporations aren’t people.

The bot compresses an article about how AI are good at compression… how deep does this go?

Interesting, I was taught you used a rolling boil for pasta so it wouldn’t stick together. Maybe there’s a halfway where it rolls for a few minutes then gets turned down as the pieces soften and become vulnerable to tearing.

The closest I found to a non social media site is the patreon https://www.patreon.com/eastcoastitnotes Not much for free though

Disagree, I played some last month. Different boys I guess but it felt the same.

Why is it neutral evil to have a monitor without a face?

It’s called a bindle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bindle?wprov=sfla1

That page certainly implies it was used in the real world, but it’s far more common in media and there aren’t any citations to support it’s use.

Well they weren’t going to admit it…

I guess you assume it would allow user submissions to reduce costs? If it was curated or first party content only I can’t see how that would happen. But I’m sure the profits are worth spreading and enabling csam.

Obviously this is not competitive, because the mainstream has decided the cheapest route is worth the consequences. Unless there’s regulation I don’t see it changing.
