  I’ve never seen convincing arguments for that. However, if you think about it, Google wants you to stay scrolling through it forever. The more sponsored links and ads they can show, the more money they make. They didn’t need to make it worse for AI, they made it worse for profit

  I would but I’m allergic 😭 to the shrimp, not the cesium just to be clear

  Eh, the odds of actually colliding with anything is low enough. Plus the night sky would probably be even more breathtaking. I’m in

  This feels like Halo Infinite all over again.

  Oh, you have identical specs and built at the exact same time? Yeah, half of you are going to randomly have issues and half won’t. Enjoy head casing about that.

  That’s probably not the cause of the issues here though. Denuvo impacts game performance but not as badly as Borderlands 4 is seeing. The engine they chose has issues even on non denuvo games. It’s an unoptimized mess and then gearbox didn’t optimize any further themselves.

  Getting a new credit card can heavily impact your credit score and impact financial decisions for years. It isn’t something that should be done if you can help it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many don’t have a choice, especially in the US. Without playing the credit game you end up paying significantly more in loan interest for things like a house or car or can’t even get a loan. One of the easiest ways to keep a good credit score is to have a credit card you’ve had forever and that you consistently use and pay off.

  It’s a goodbye screwed up system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people either forget or don’t carefully track the money as spent when it’s still in their back account so they spend it again. It’s just generally a hassle and more work vs just having a habit of paying off as you go and being able to see exactly what’s still in your bank account.

  I just had that with Expedition 33. Every twist had me going “what?” And getting those perfect dodges was chef’s kiss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conundrum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With new water heaters yes, do your maintenance. Old water heater that came with the place and hasn’t been touched in years? Yeah, the advice is to actually not flush it because you don’t know what cracks that gunk might be blocking up and it will be more likely to fail on you sooner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Horned Demon and Marco Polo jokes aside, I say run with it. As much as millennials get crapped on for choosing weird names they’ve at least suck to it and I’d hope it would make room for more names. It has meaning to you, go for it.

  Every kid will get picked on for their name at some point.

  I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.

  1. Feeling of Endless Hell
  2. Waiting for it to be over
  3. Everyone dying or in pain, in some cases at the hands of their own stupidity
  4. Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
  5. Swamp
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a treat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the salt mostly. Especially with indoor cats who often don’t get wet food and so are on the under hydrated side of things as they tend to not drink as much as they should.

  Technically any without garlic or onion is safe for them to have a tiny bit as a treat but it’s so incredibly easy to overdo that it’s just safer to not give it to them.

  Too much nitrates or nitrites is bad for cats yes, but they’d have to eat an excessive amount for it to be a concern and again the excess salt would be a bigger issue first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Informative review ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wires racks. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They’d wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.

  Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn’t split from condensation or something before you got home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Informative review ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re talking about bubble foam tea. Sure that was a thing but at least in any part of America I’ve been in, boba tea and bubble tea from the start was the tapioca pearl drink.

  Some people get this purist notion that things can only ever be one thing and screech if someone uses a term differently.

  Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.

  We need more good AMD options dangit, not just NVIDIA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily. Two objects can still have friction in a vacuum together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a vacuum

  Sorry, I need that in dishwashers or ping pong balls

  Codeberg was running Anubis. Apparently several bots have started just solving Anubis and scraping away again.

  A lot of the forums I’m seeing talked about where more technical or objective kinds. Like in a car forum there’d be repair manuals or parts lists, fountain pen forums would have loads of images comparing inks side by side for different shades and hues. Those are the sorts of knowledge centers being discussed and reminisced about a lot here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet kind of sucks right now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s currently being argued in the courts. There’s a lot that goes into it from right to distribution, to proving that although the AI bot can’t reproduce everything even though it normally doesn’t. [arstechnica.com/…/study-metas-llama-3-1-can-recal…](A very real example of reproducibility)

  There’s also arguments about how they accessed large amounts of content. The law doesn’t just recognize whether you can access something or not, but what you access it for. There’s laws about accessing things with the sole purpose of using it to develop a commercial product. All of it is a tangled mess that there’s no current clear answer to (legally, morally I think there is but that’s very opinionated)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet kind of sucks right now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s a lot of solid arguments against letting AI steal everything, but with the scraping there’s an even more immediate problem. They don’t rate limit or do it in an intelligent method. It becomes a full blown ddos that has take down entire sites and slowed many more to the point of near uselessness.

  They’re in a very literal sense crashing large chunks of the Internet and causing havoc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet kind of sucks right now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t really solve the AI scraping or the silo problem and as Code erg found out recently, solving the AI scraping DDOS is never ending
