You must gather your congregation before venturing forth!

It’s colossally stupid.

Don’t pull it too far, though, or else it’ll flip on its back and go nowhere.

That’s hilarious. I just love how AI is basically like a 6-year-old who weaves his favorite new expressions into everything without fully understanding what they mean.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

They should just run with it and branch out into other types of bewildered animal pastries.

Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO. Based on the visuals, I was expecting early 2000s Opeth, and I got late 2010s Opeth instead.

Very happy to see that, thanks for the pointer!

To my knowledge, the problem is the same in the EU, but there are legal initiatives by some NGOs (NOYB) that argue that having only these two options (pay for subscription or consent to personal information being sold) should be illegal, and that newspapers should be required to offer a third option (pay only the amount your information would be sold for, which is only a few cents, without the subscription).

Congrats, just added another wishlisting! Maybe this was answered somewhere else already, but do you have any details yet on how well it will be playable on Steam Deck?

I’ve never had Mountain Dew, but I always imagined it would taste like shower gel or shampoo. The scents/flavors even have similar names.

Coincidentally, this is also what the French smelled like centuries ago.

Based on this dumpster fire of a headline, I think the take-away can only be that Siemens and other train manufacturers have to start calling their trains “OMEGA RAIL” and “CHUNGUS 3000” or shit like that so it’s worth a news article.

Look, I also left Reddit because it got worse, but this just reads like “I said something racist and people got mad” to me.

Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I’ve seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven’t always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?

Historians will at some point look at this comic strip as a representation of “cringe” that predates the word that later came to describe it.

I agree with some of what you say, but I think the center-left would probably be seen as more left-leaning if they weren’t constantly forced to govern with a neoliberal ankle bracelet on. The popularity of the Greens would also be higher if Conservatives hadn’t declared them as their “main adversary” while there are literal fascists sitting in parliament.

Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with “In conclusion, …” followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.

English isn’t my first language. What does “tossing one’s hair” mean?

I like the position held by NOYB: Providers of websites that show either a restricted ad-supported version or an unrestricted subscription-based version of the site should be required to offer a third option that is restricted and ad-free for a fee that equals the market value of the information sold to advertisers (usually a few cents per month and per user).
