  And even then they massively fucked up by ignoring all the ddosing for years. It gave us Northstar but it’s a paid fucking game, come on man.

  At least they kept some of the old ones, still kinda dumb that to access the old tags system you have to click search with an empty search field of all things. Also kinda weird that they killed old skins so fast, I don’t have anything against using SFP and patching in a new one but it’s gotta be really demotivating for skin creators.

  don’t piss off the customers

  Unless it’s their UI, they love to do pointless changes nowadays. On top of the stuff mentioned by other replies

  You could torrent the stuff that’s on there and decide if it’s worth your money beforehand

  The rule holds: never trust companies paying for YT sponsorships

  Yeah but tucking it all back down means it’s not gonna be perfect and that annoys me greatly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happens everytime⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If your headboard is big/fluffy enough so that it contacts the mattress it’s guaranteed to be a pain in the ass imo. Also a pain if you have a mattress protector or some other layer of different texture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happens everytime⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  nah, happens even if your sheets are custom made

  They’re so big on branding the logo shape is just a preset now. There’s a local energy drink that uses their orange shield lol

  I feel sorry for opel. They made the most out of what gm gave them, now they’re doing the same shit under psa.

  Wealth inequality isn’t going away anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean you can condemn the entire field of humanoid robots as useless/unreachable for the 99%. There’s probably going to be a point when a suzuki swift (geo metro for americans) equivalent of a robot will come along.

  yea it’s our fault quotation marks don’t work half the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robotics Company Builds Straight-Up Terminator⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To do what?

  Chores and other stuff we don’t/can’t do. This has been the dream for decades now, so many decade+ old encyclopedias with “future tech” chapters show robots caring for people, sometimes as caregivers (for old people, or blind etc), sometimes as entertainers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the “moneyless” part of the definition, aka if you have a currency you’re not communist. Which, to be fair, they didn’t call themselves as a country.

  Hey now, at least bitcoin has it’s uses. And if you have a farm for it I doubt you’re scamming on the side, that’s risky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They would then have to compete with google’s storefront, which is wild to think about. Unless they pull an EGS and promise a much better revenue split, but even then it’s gonna be ridiculously hard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But it would be stable, reliable, accessible…

  And have a 50% chance to be abandoned/unsupported in 2 years. In the real world they have zero reasons to release a standalone phone, (huge) maybe they could make a tablet for remote play.

  How do you know they’re not running a local model? Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it

  It’s possibly the most underrated type of jewelry, so much customization possible.

  Not as beautiful as his hair in that one video though Image
