  Ok… but is the picture art??? I don’t think anyone would try to argue it is, even if a human drew it. Miyazaki was specifically talking about how no algorithm can produce art, and I agree.

  What makes this screenshot funny is the human element, the performance! It’s all ridiculous.

  I know right? Have any of these posters met a baby? They’re too short for this.

  In addition to the replies you got already, discord has screen sharing/streaming. An experience kind of like zoom (I don’t use it and dont see the appeal but maybe someone who does can elaborate more. My partner uses this feature sometimes).

  Its standard practice for math equations involving spectral densities and Fourier transforms to use the testicles character for the independent variable.

  Fourier analysis involves measuring the sampled strength of the signal at different points in time. Its also related to ARIMA models. Essentially, you’re inspecting how cyclical some data is, and the testies are points in time.

  By the way, there is an error in this meme, see the comment left by jjagaimo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About 75,000 US federal workers accept Trump administration buyout program⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When a federal worker takes this buyout, the 8 months pay still comes out of the budget of whatever office/department they were employed by. So many of our federal institutions are already cash strapped right now due to funding cuts and straight up DOGE sabotage.

  When these workers take the buyout, those facilities loose a worker and spend money for nothing out of their appropriated budgets.

  I’d bet most of these people that have taken the buyout already earned their pentions. This isn’t saving as much money as you think, it’s just meant to break shit and its working.

  There are no checks whatsoever, no email or phone number required, no verification options—it just hands you an account for a 99-year-old, with full access to all chat features. (It took maybe five clicks from having no account to being able to play Blood & Gore.)

  Come on now Kotaku. I was a kid once on the internet. I lied about my age once to sign up for Neopets, which had text forums, private messages and user-created pages. You could even use HTML and hotlink images. It really wasn’t a big deal because my parents paid attention to what I did online, and the audience of the website was just children or people who wanted to play a simple game.

  My mom ended up playing it, so she must have known I lied about my age to get access. She had hella neopoints.

  For content marked 17+, you do need to verify your age with documentation

  WHY IS THERE CONTENT FOR 17+ ON ROBLOX? Isn’t this the TRUE child safety problem? Why do this at all? Why attract people looking for 17+ content on a platform for children??? I read that Hindenburg report, the entire platform is a mess. This company deserves to fail and those investors deserve to be left holding the bag.
