Explain that to the average car buyer who sees the lower number and rules it out.

It’s like he wrote an already weird sex scene description, then right clicked every word and chose the last synonym on the list.

Holy shit, that’s a good burn.

I managed to graduate having taken no chemistry classes lol.

Thanks for explaining this simply. Somehow I never learned this in school.

This kind of thing didn’t used to bother me at all before it very much bothered me and now I’m somewhere in the middle. I think cartridges/discs for consoles should not require an Internet connection to play them. That said, this isn’t the PS2 era anymore. Many games release with patches day 1 and most will have at least some updates post launch. A lot of games kept offline end up missing out on a ton. Keeping a physical copy of a game is only preserving a portion of the game for a future without the servers to supply the final version, which is my main concern when it comes to physical vs digital media. We still have to rely on hacked consoles running custom firmware or emulation to properly preserve games.

Vindictus?

That poster art is at least a pretty sick classic movie throwback.

All the WW2 movies and nobody in Hollywood thought to produce a shark-themed survival horror true story?

Doesn’t matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.

This also set a huge precedent for legal cases around AI image generation, didn’t it? Since that also falls under “works not created by a human” and are therefore not copyrightable. We could have been dealing with a much bleaker AI art law situation than we have today because of this funny monkey photo case.

How long until the majority of the Internet is inaccessible to non-Chromium browsers because the pages “don’t support them”?

This is Microsoft, an American corporation, actively developing the things the Internet spazzes out about China probably doing. How happy this makes China? Buddy, imagine how happy this makes every marketing company in the world, your local police department, and your own government, all of which have a much more vested interest in everything you do on your computer and are considerably more of a threat to you than the ruling party of a country on the other side of the planet. Seriously, y’all need to get your fucking priorities in order. It’s borderline satire how fast your average Lemmy user slaps the China Panic button as soon as a privacy-related issue hits their front page.

There should be no reason not to transcode onboard, right? Modern mobile devices could probably process video no problem and then the upload would be smaller and quicker than sending the original. Only issue might be long videos, but I think there’s a case to be made that these types of platforms should have a firm duration cap of only a few minutes tops.

Incredible. Their “AI” is just a bunch of people watching cameras in India.

That’s not communism, that’s just a worker co-op.

It worked for Netflix. It’s easy to scoff at the clearly customer-antagonistic policies these services are turning towards, inevitably accompanied by the “well, they lost me as a subscriber” flood of comments. But the unfortunate truth is the vast majority of people just shut up and pay, resulting in big net income for the corporations that enact these policies.

Linux users are what everyone says vegans are.

Meanwhile I’m thinking “ey, sounds like they’re getting enough money, now maybe they can leave me the fuck alone.”

Does it open Firefox instead, then?
