  I was going to say. It still works. They just couldn’t find a customer willing to pay the high price at the moment. Someone will make another model to do what it did.

  I suspect the current government just didn’t want the plebs to have access and put Pentagon Pete in more videos and it was a small price to pay for open AI to make them happy and make sure they are the only ones who get to make shitty AI tiktok slop.

  The gacha games just keep lowering the poly count until your waifu is 2d, so long as the loot boxes still open the customers won’t notice.

  I mean the marketing guys are doing their job which is to convince you that you are getting a video feed for your to do cool things with. The actual reason is free camera wearing automatons are cheaper than ones you have to pay for.

  It hurts to read “The original song dates back to the 20th century” in the Wikipedia article.

  It’s a hard life but I’m working through it with my therapist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cigs w/o u⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point in the late 90s or early 2000s they banned cigarette advertising.

  I didn’t think about it but at this point i don’t know any brands anymore. My father smoked players when I was young, and Benson and hedges used to sponsor some public events but otherwise I guess it worked.

  That or cigs got too expensive to smoke brand name. My grandfather, before he died of lung cancer was smoking big clear bags of cigs from the reserve.

  I have an 82 inch TV that is wall mounted.

  My girlfriend can’t lift one side of it so if I ever need to take it off the wall I gotta get a friend to come over to help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't tell me that you all don't have the same issue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just google the tv model number and find an image of the inputs, then I go by feel.

  That is what they are technically doing but they often don’t always consider the consequences and often react poorly when they realize that an Amazon (it whatever) comes along and contributes nothing and monetizes their work while dumping the support and maintenance on them.

  That is the name of the game though if you use an MIT license.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FADED. 🥴⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be both.

  Intelligence agencies love to gently nudge and provide support to someone who might do their dirty work for them.

  That said it’s way more likely they have kompramat on Trump and also that he is senile and thinks he is back in the 80s during the hostage crisis.

  Fighting sports and CTE addled domestic abusers, name a more iconic combo.

  It still is isn’t it? Or is it enforcer? Or is it “GET YOUR PARLAY IN NOW WITH BET365”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A modest proposal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah Vietnam was because there cold war was too cold and that’s not good for military industrial complex. 60k people is not really enough to make a huge difference in housing.

  My default view is past 6 hours which I think is nice. Missed it the first time though.

  Ok, but explain the calarts bean heads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make a note⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When consuming edible THC there is a time between when you have consumed the drug and when the drug kicks in. During this time you would wait and not consume more drugs because you will over consume and have a less pleasant experience.

  As a non FF player who played 8 and 9 I thought 13 was kinda bad.

  Lots of hallways when the previous games had more discovery to them.

  Have not really played one since as I wasn’t into MMOs and figured I would try the 7 remake when they finished which it looks like they never will.

  What? You didn’t want your portable document format to be Turing complete?

  “safe”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i mean⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right it’s just the system had very few games where the d pad was the obvious primary control device.

  What everyone here is really missing is the ahead of its time Golden eye 2 controller two stick setup. They knew where things were going the controller was just a little too soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol 1000 doesn’t even get you half way to a speed Queen. You just get the same low end shit except it’s got app or screen that with show you add eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m shitting in it.

  It’s slow, has a ton of advertising, causes CTE, wastes money at colleges that would be better spent elsewhere, covers up sex crimes etc.

  There are a ton of more interesting / exciting sports than American football.

  I’ll still attend a gathering today but only because I like food and socializing whether the game is on isn’t really relevant to me .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not generally making source code changes. It’s the dependencies.

  Mainly we’re talking about building very old versions of things like libpng. Making things like autoconf and configure and cmake all work is a pain in the ass as their versions slowly change.

  The business would be content to let it run on Ubuntu 12 until it’s a major problem so I can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly if part of their job is at all trying to get old shit to run on new operating systems AI is very useful for that task.

  Part of my job is keeping a 30 year old c++ application compiling and building on newer versions of Linux. LLMs have made this a far easier experience.
