I dunno, man. It seems apples to oranges.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 1 week ago:
I am a 4x year old father that voted for Kamala l, and my 11 year old son does a lot for various charities without me asking him too. He’s been choosing a charity to help children, LGBTQ, immigrants/refugees, etc for the past few years by selling lemonade during the summer with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity. I am involved with groups dedicated to opposing ICE and authoritarian groups in the USA.
I may be White and male, but not all of us are monsters or want this.
- Comment on People that go commando have pee and poo on their pants 1 week ago:
Bruh, your underwear makes direct contact with your skin. Whether it’s pants or a layer in between, the result is the same that the barrier carries your pee and poo and it’s in contact with your skin.

I’m admittedly ignorant of all of this, but I’ll post my thoughts anyway:
If the AI is trained on their voice and that AI is available to other studios, the one time payment for that actor’s work is a very very shit deal. They’re out of a job in multiple places or for multiple works now since it can be reused for many things.
I doubt that the contract says it’s only used for that one singular project. Companies are sneaky. However, I have not read said contracts so it’s a magical guess on my part.

When Lemmy was in its infancy, there were beans. Now they’re back, a more magical than ever.

For a good time. For a good time, call!
- Comment on Creative workers on the affects of AI on their jobs 5 weeks ago:
Mmm, maybe. Affects also works as it means to influence. It’s subtle and context matters, but if AI is still changing things with their job then affects is the verb you want. If AI has changed their job and nothing further is happening then effect is the noun you want.

- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 2 months ago:
I see where you’re coming from.
I personally read it differently. I read it as not everyone lives in a city, or wants to, and so people shouldn’t pressure others to do that (for mass transit) just so we can get rid of cars.

Do you not have apartment complexes where you live? You can easily hit that number in your building ALONE depending on how many units there are. Then you have buildings around you because apartments aren’t just a one off.
Let’s say you live on a city block with 8 houses on each side and there’s an average of 2 people living in each house, that’s still 32 people.

Holy fucking shit, I totally forgot about this!
I award you, stranger! 🏅
- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 2 months ago:
In the original Warcraft games (not World Of Warcraft), repeatedly clicking units would initiate irritation voice lines.
Humans would say something like, “why do you keep touching me?”
An elf said something like, “you never touch other elves like that!”
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
Totally! I didn’t downvote you btw. No idea what that is about.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
Ah. Yes, I get it. I was thinking you were serious that they weren’t Android. 😆
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
Ooh. Ok, so can you elaborate on this?
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
when it launched
Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted on like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.
I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
Yeah, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and Safari is freezing or just not even allowing me to close windows until I restart the app.
I haven’t tried turning it off yet, but my suspicion is the Liquid Glass and all the stuff it needs to do is taking priority.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
The answer you’re looking for is, “Of course it does!”
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 months ago:
Switch a while ago. It’s pretty damn great.
- Comment on When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? 2 months ago:
Or the side quest of the rocket that didn’t blow up and you do all of this grabbing parts, set up, fight Order forces and you finally get to launch the missile which developed a bond with humans but didn’t want to be a dud. They end up being fireworks instead of an actual missile.

His job, canonically, has been freelance photographer. I think fashion probably beats that.

Ah shit. Gamers are delicious. They’re so salty from all the crying that they make for a nice savory snack!
On a serious note—I thought I changed it, but autocorrect wins. I’m leaving it.

Yes, this is spot on. There are definitely ways to cook it that can help ease home of that gamer-ness. I had alligator nuggets in Florida and really enjoyed them.
