You just convinced me to buy a Mac.

It’s literally one of the top 10 most trafficked websites.

White Mexicans are a thing. It’s kinda why they speak Spanish.

Journalists have no clue what AI even is. Nearly every article about AI is written by somebody who couldn’t tell you the difference between an LLM and an AGI, and should be dismissed as spam.

They’re usually put in the game’s credits. The promotional material is part of the game even if it isn’t on the disc, it isn’t some separate project that exists in a vacuum.

The author says “think about it”, but clearly he didn’t.

Now why would an account created 1 hour ago be asking something like this?

I’m gonna be honest, Mastodon is kinda trash, on its own. It’s clunky, ugly, and feels like a platform from 2010 (but not in a good way). I think getting people onboard with a Misskey/Sharkey instance is going to be much better. The feature set is a lot closer to Twitter, and it does literally everything Mastodon does, but better.

Don’t forget, the US has nukes. We’re everybody’s problem.

Can you imagine giving a shit?

I’m a big Phendrana Drifts fan, myself.

Ocarina of Time’s shop theme.

Spez has been trying to emulate Elon as much as possible, sucking up to him whenever he can. He sees Twitter as the goal for Reddit to reach.

You’re going to see the same thing happen on just about every major corporate social platform real soon. Meta’s platforms, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch… They’re all hurting for cash now that they’ve mostly dried up all their VC funding from the 2010s and are 100% going to appeal to the Right, who have promised to give businesses more rights and legal protections than ever before.

Huh, I know I used to watch Mr Rogers when I was real little, but I have few memories from that far back. But I also, to this day, get uncomfortable putting my fingers or toes near drains.

I need to hear this song. Maybe it’ll trigger some latent memory and unlock some long-forgotten trauma.

Edit: Found it, no memories unlocked. :(

Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.

There might be. We don’t know what the patents actually say yet. Without a proper translation of the patents from somebody who understands Japanese legislative texts, all we have to go off of is the machine-translation, which I’m sure is not capturing all the details of the patent.

I wonder if it’s a licensing thing. I know a few of these games had heavy use of licensed music, like Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxy. At least, the original versions did, I’m not sure if that’s the case for the Steam ports.

Man, I’m an idiot. I dunno why I forgot for a moment that other drains exist lol. That makes sense, thanks!

Yeah, they only have a finite number of servers that they can run VMs on, and are pretty consistently at max capacity. That said, there’s also limits on individual stream times, so after a certain amount of time you have to reconnect to continue playing (which, if you’re playing in a busy time, means re-queueing). So this at least keeps the line moving, in a way.

I haven’t tried it in a year or so, but when I played it last, I didn’t have very long lines; a minute at most, even at peak hours, on a free (deprioritized) account. Not the end of the world, but definitely an inconvenience.

they have to reinvest most of them into the company and it’s employees.

In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla’s case, “reinvesting into its employees” means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you’d see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn’t change anything in any significant way, imo.

I’ve been saying for years that Mozilla is a profit-driven corp, just like any other. If they operated at Google’s scale, they’d be evil at Google’s scale, as well. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this, and likely won’t be the last.

How are fats, oils, and grease getting into the sewer system, though? Are there enough of those materials left in our poop to conglomerate like that? Or are those from industrial users on the sewer system?
