- Comment on After killing Ali Khamenei why doesn’t the US attack Mojtaba Khamenei? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t believe the US knows his location. Mojtaba hasn’t been seen publicly since he was appointed.
Ali was (according to current public information) only successfully targeted due to CIA assets inside Iran tracking him and confirming a time where he would be in a building vulnerable to a strike.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 2 weeks ago:
Anger does drive up engagement, but the point of engagement farming is supposed to be so that you keep coming back to the content (YT videos, articles, whatever) and therefore it gets more exposure so that the attached ads get more exposure.
The ads themselves designed to make you angry at them doesn’t seem to make sense, at least as a default practice. There’s really only hyperspecific niche scenarios where the ad itself making you angry at the ad is beneficial to the people paying for it.

That’s the craziest part isn’t it? All of this data collection so they can build profiles of us, and then they just don’t apply any of it to ads.
I don’t like watching ads, but it would at least be slightly more tolerable if I got ads for things I actually wanted. On my TV I watch YT unfortunately not adblocked, an never once have I seen an ad for anything that appeal to me.

I think with The Matrix specifically it has to do with the physicality. Late 90s Will Smith was in shape and could do big, bombastic action, but I can’t imagine him doing precise martial arts moves without it looking like a comedy.

It is crazy how I always think of that movie as “early career Will Smith before he became famous quippy superstar” but it released between Men In Black and Wild Wild West.

I imagine him throwing some Bad Boys type energy into the lobby shootout.

It’s just an infinite number of Will Smith’s eating an infinite amount of spaghetti.

- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 5 weeks ago:
I guess I’m still not following how if I’m using say the nvidia geforce screen recording software which is capturing the display of my screen how the browser knows. Since the browsers has already gotten the image and displayed it and the recorder is recording the display instead of, intercepting (I suppose is the best word) the data before it is displayed.

Netflix being an application that is running on a TV seems like a very different situation than a video playing inside of a browser. How exactly would YouTube know or be able to stop screen recording short of forcing me to actively run a program?

Maybe I’m not following but this seems to be talking about applications communicating with hardware designed to be authorized to play.
How would a video playing on a browser like YouTube on my existing, old hardware be able to parse what’s authorized? Short of making YouTube a program on my computer, how does it on a browser know what else I’m running?

I already just use screen capture recording to take videos in my desktop playing YouTube on a browser. Could they even stop that?
- Comment on Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? 5 weeks ago:
Am I going to have to sit through an unreasonable amount of jiggling tits?
No not at all. The only boob jiggle type moment I can think of happens many episodes in and lasts about 5 seconds. Default throughout the show you aren’t getting constant creepshot angles or focus on fanservice. The show or, more or less, of a wholesome tone that sometimes dips into some series moments. There is a catgirl later on, but she’s actually like cat-girl with an emphasis on cat like behavior and is a good character who is dressed slightly lighter than everyone else but nothing you’d think twice of seeing.

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing Dagger Directive, which isn’t an old game but you wouldn’t know that by looking at it. It’s an intentional throwback to the original Delta Force games. I bought it on some sort of early sale, but even full price it’s only $20.
If you like the original Delta Force or Ghost Recon games, this has a similar vibe with missions where you can select the time of day to start, and are then dropped in wide open maps. I’ve been having a lot of fun turning the HUD off and playing night missions. The game takes into account how night vision goggles interfere with looking down sights, which in turn makes things like IR lasers and dedicated night vision scopes useful. I’ve seen community complaints (some of them more recent than the newest AI update) that suppressors don’t do anything regarding enemy AI, but I’ve had a lot of success with them and think people might be having wrong expectations on how silent the guns are going to be and/or how oblivious enemies are going to be.
The weapon selection is fairly good and getting expanded with updates. The scope system gets some flack, but it is an intentional recreation of the Delta Force scope system.
For the most part I’m ambivalent about it, although now that red dots have been added to the equipment they use the same picture-in-picture window that magnified scopes do, which makes red dots actually kind of useless for close range fast paced fighting (which is the entire IRL point of them), and I’d actually recommend using no attachments or using an IR laser with night vision instead of using a red dot in the game.
The sound design sneaks up on you. Things will be quiet and boring one second, and then your audio is filled with terrifying cracks and whistles of gunfire as an enemy machinegun ambushes you the next.
