- Comment on AI bot swarms threaten to undermine democracy 1 week ago:
The old guard of human operated propaganda farms feel threatened by having their playing field leveled. They’re scared that non-capitalists may now have the means to have their voices heard over the cacophonous noise of the billionaire owned media and government sponsored troll farms.

The text doesn’t matter if its not enforced, so no, not at the moment. Changing the text won’t help though if the people we elect to enforce the rules continue to do crime instead.
- Comment on Reddit overtakes TikTok in UK thanks to search algorithms and gen z 5 weeks ago:
Another contributing factor is the TikTok website just doesn’t fucking work half the time and the only support they offer is a misconfigured AI prone to getting stuck in loops.
- Comment on If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is it considered a hostage situation? 1 month ago:
Patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) frequently report episodes of interidentity amnesia, that is amnesia for events experienced by other identities. The goal of the present experiment was to test the implicit transfer of trauma-related information between identities in DID. We hypothesized that whereas declarative information may transfer from one identity to another, the emotional connotation of the memory may be dissociated, especially in the case of negative, trauma-related emotional valence. An evaluative conditioning procedure was combined with an affective priming procedure, both performed by different identities. In the evaluative conditioning procedure, previously neutral stimuli come to refer to a negative or positive connotation. The affective priming procedure was used to test the transfer of this acquired valence to an identity reporting interidentity amnesia. Results indicated activation of stimulus valence in the affective priming task, that is transfer of emotional material between identities. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Never. I won’t buy a game until I’ve tried it. If no demo is available, I’ll pirate it first, and then buy it later if its good.

“fishy” = bacterial vaginosis
The common scent element in cis women is “tangy”.
Estrogen causes the vaginal walls to secrete glycogen, which gets eaten by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid.
Lack of tanginess can be caused by low estrogen levels. It tells us about your current endocrine ecology, not your gender identity.

- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon. The data center build out is a years long process, and even after they get built, their owners will want to use the initially installed hardware for as long as possible before upgrading.
Expect demand for new RAM to remain higher than it was before the AI datacenter build out began. Maybe not as high as it is right now, but some degree of increased demand will be permanent due to the increased count of datacenters that will eventually want to replace their obsolete, worn out hardware.
There might eventually be a larger supply of used RAM on the market, but a lot of it might not be compatible with mid-shelf consumer grade motherboards.

- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 2 months ago:
Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you’ve mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

- Comment on There should be a "last used combination" faucet handle for sinks so you don't have to balance hot and cold everytime during winter 2 months ago:
I’ve never seen one. We’ve got on-demand water heaters that feed entire homes, but the electric versions are notorious for breaking a lot. The trend is toward heat pump hot water storage tanks that cool the air around them and put that heat into the water tank.
- Comment on What is the point of posting on the fediverse if it is going to be moderated similarly to Reddit? 2 months ago:
I left for the opposite reason. Reddit does not have enough moderation, and they gave me a temp ban for reporting someone advocating political violence.

Its Orwellian double-speak. It implements restrictions on how people in Montana are allowed to use their personal property (computers) where no restrictions existed before.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 months ago:
Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.
There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.
5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.
For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20
In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter’s attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).
All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.

Weakness to Magic stacks exponentially with itself when it comes from 2 different spells.
For example, lets say you have 2 spells with Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds: Spell 1, and Spell 2.
Spell 1: target becomes 100% weak to magic
Spell 2: target becomes 2100% = 200% weak to magic recast Spell 1: target becomes 2200% = 400% weak to magic recast Spell 2: target becomes 2*400% = 800% weak to magicAnd so on. After a few stacks of that debuff, and you can 1-hit-kill any foe with a spell that deals damage.
Weakness to Magic also works on the player character and it will amplify the effect of buffs. Stacking it before casting your buff spells lets you walk around with millions of health, stamina, and mana for short periods of time.
