The enjoyment of going to parties typically relies on the attendees of the party and how much you like or dislike them. This specific party is full of people who bought monkey JPEGs and turned them into their entire personality. So, presumably, I would not like this party.
- Comment on Capcom is worried that mods “offensive to public order and morals” will ‘tarnish’ the rep of their PC games 1 year ago:
Why are you intentionally leaving out the rest of that sentence?
it’s apparently nevertheless a concern that some mods might be deemed offensive in a way that requires tighter controls on modding.
They are specifically talking about restricting modding.

This sounds like a load of corporate bullshit that they’re going to use to justify preventing modding of their games.

This is a terrible idea. What stops me from uploading a broken piece of shit fork that puts others at risk while I’m driving?

I’m still not sure I would believe it at that point.

You can still think Disney is a shitty company while acknowledging that this is a stupid article/headline. They’re not mutually exclusive.

You’re not a business whose sole purpose is to sell/license images. If you read the article, it explains that their models are trained using only images from their library, which seems like a sensible approach to avoiding copyright issues.

Read the fucking article, man. It’s not a stock image of a character, it’s the spiral clock background.
- Comment on [Survey] Can you tell which images are AI generated? 1 year ago:
I also got 10/20. The second one is fairly obvious, though, in my opinion. Look at the shape of the glasses – the lenses are uneven and don’t match.
- Comment on Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times' 1 year ago:
I mostly agree with this. I really enjoyed the more insightful, introspective Johnny and there wasn’t enough of it. With that being said, I’m a few hours into Phantom Liberty and it seems that we get a lot more of the meaningful conversations with Johnny.
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 1 year ago:
That seems high to me as well. Obviously this is anecdotal, but I’ve introduced probably 20 friends/family members to VR and none of them have had issues with motion sickness.

What the fuck are you talking about?
- Comment on Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts? 1 year ago:
I haven’t and likely can’t think of a good solution to handling the scenarios you’re talking about. They are good questions that someone smarter than me should address. However, to use those scenarios to completely admonish advertising platforms for blatantly obvious scams is asinine. “Well, what if a legitimate business starts scamming people?” should have little relevancy to the question of “Should we accept this ad from a user advertising that they’re going to double your money if you give them access to your financial accounts?”
I’m not saying it’s simple or quick to solve, but there is very obvious low-hanging fruit that could be dealt with but is somehow not because these platforms aren’t held accountable whatsoever. It has to start somewhere.

Uhhh maybe they should find the time to do that then? How is “we don’t have the time” a valid excuse? Either hire more staff to do so, or sell fewer ads.

Oh yeah. Marlboro Reds and black coffee got me through some rough fucking mornings in my early 20s.

uBlock Origin doesn’t, but there is an add-on called ClearURLs which does something similar.
- Comment on What does cigarette smoking do for people? 1 year ago:
It makes food taste like shit and by extension you want to eat less. At least, that was my experience with smoking for years. When I quit I gained like 40 lbs.

Fair enough. I do admit, I went through a number of USB cables in a previous car that didn’t have wireless. However, I don’t really see how restricting access to AA would solve your maps issue. So, rather than not being able to use your phone to look up a detour (which I have done, by unplugging my phone, selecting a new router, then plugging it back in, which isn’t great), you now just look up a detour on your phone and then what? Don’t use the cars navigation, but rather your phone?

Yeah but I also already pay for a phone and am tired of being nickel and dimed at every opportunity. The price of the service isn’t necessarily the issue – it’s the fact that there is a price to begin with.

I have wireless AA on my Civic and I literally get in the car, turn it on, and my phone connects automatically. It’s very convenient. What issues have you run into?

I’m not the target audience for this to begin with, but I refuse to own a car ever again that doesn’t have Android Auto. What a bunch of anti-consumer bullshit. What are the odds GM starts charging a subscription fee to access apps on these vehicles?
