  1. Who are they talking about?
  2. I hope they never get a partner because who know where their lips have been too

  (Thinking through that last one they probably want a “pure” virgin)

  But part of the point of the piracy is not just to get it for free, but to send a message that you’re not paying the publishers or IP owners

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Read what you preach, jackass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it still works since a camel (the animal) wouldn’t fit anyway. And can be interpreted as a possession.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was the original control for cable TV. And if you bribed the install guy with cash he would set it to give you premium channels you didn't pay for⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when cable was analog, channels you didn’t pay for were blocked with a frequency filter. let’s say channels 13-60 were 425-475Hz (purely an example) there would be a little device connected to your coax that would filter it out. The thing was though, they did this in the cable box usually in your yard. So all you had to do was go out at night, pop the box open (wasn’t hard) and remove the filter to get free channels.

  Then they moved to digital and all things changed.

  This is what I was telling people when they were saying “well it’s against the GPDR!” and I was responding that functionally they’d have to go after every single federated instance, including those outside of the jurisdiction and deal with hundreds of other countries. And I got downvoted for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’ve been on both sides of this equation. I had a rich friend growing up and they would give me random gifts like game consoles and tickets to concerts that we’d go with them. It was “pocket change” to them. As I got older, I came in to money young and started to do the same thing with my friends, and I realized why they did it and why I did it.

  It’s nothing about power dynamics or holding it over others, but wanting to share in your joys and successes. I would buy dinner for friends at nice places because I wanted to enjoy something and I wanted them to also. They were my friends, I have money, why wouldn’t I want to share it? I hate when people are selfish and hoard money, so why not use it for everyone to enjoy.

  Just north of Antarctica

  I like my women like I like my syrup: thick and rich.

  Yup. I think it was after he gave her the goblet which signified a proposal for her.

  The left lane is for active passing. It’s not a long distance cruising lane. If you have someone behind you, be courteous and let them pass. It’s not that hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not a restaurant⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is funny because there’s a Velvet Taco (food) chain in Texas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it didn’t, you can bet your IT department would have a GPO or policy preventing its installation. Why do you think that you can bring and hook up a piece of unapproved hardware that may do more than what it says without the company (who owns the device) vets it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recession indicator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof. I feel this. Or when a position has been posted on LinkedIn for only 2-3 hours and already has over 100 applications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Teach a brother how? I swear I couldn’t find it anywhere in the account settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So effectively, they don’t do what GOG is doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really had trouble getting in to that game. May try it again but it seemed a bit too… generic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any fans of the source material?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless I’m missing something, Steam only does code to email 2FA, not an actual TOTP app

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any fans of the source material?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I frequent ani.social quite often too. I’ve watched too many shows I stopped counting and guess what…. I prefer dubs gasp! So they’re not for children. It’s just a matter of preference and I love how the localizations are getting better rather than just rote translation (more gasps!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any fans of the source material?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a dub for it if you don’t like reading subs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now when will Steam do this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To vintage’s point. The way I view it is there is no chance for AGI via the current method of hopped up LLM/ML but that doesn’t mean we won’t uncover a method in the future. Bio-engineering with an attempt to recreate a neural network for example, or extraction of neurons via stem cells with some sort of electrical interface. My initial point was that it’s way off, not that it’s impossible. One day someone will go “well, that’s interesting” and we’ll have a whole new paradigm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why AGI is way off and any publicly trained models will ultimately fail. Where you’ll see AI actually be useful will be tightly controlled, in house or privately developed models. But they’re gonna be expensive and highly specialized as a result.

  Everyone remember how janky and ugly the OG XBox was? The controller that was too big for anyone but Andre the Giant?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not that many since I carefully curate my list and generally only listen to local artists or international that I’m familiar with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one service I pay for and never had had to worry about ads. I can skip around, download and work it just like my offline music with no differences

  What? It’s the 50th anniversary present of a cult classic. What in the world does that have to do with Minecraft?
