I still want to see an “anything goes” category. Let’s see what the most engineered human is capable of doing. I don’t care what their base or biology was.

Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6

I irrationally hate the term “web3” (or maybe it’s rational). It feels like someone tried to force a paradigm rather than the natural evolution.

So why hasn’t anyone said much about Apple Intelligence? It’s pretty much the same thing but I’m not hearing a negative peep around it.

Had been. But we’re in a post-accountability era for corporations so most likely nothing will happen.

I want to see them come out with a literal flying whale mount for $999 and see who buys it.

Kamala called him on it and the media got up in arms over it. Really tells you what you need to know. Vote people! These facists are.

Usually what I’ll do is I’ll recombine the folders into an iso file using mkisofs and then keep the ISO as it keeps all the menus and everything in tact. Later if you want, you can run that ISO through MakeMKV and just rip out an MKV of the main title through. But since I have enough disc space I just rip all my DVDs and BDs to straight ISOs to keep all the menus and extras in tact for later.

Surprised they’re going for 1:1 and not 16:9. I know a lot of people who use tablets and devices in the kitchen and watch videos while cooking. Granted you can do it on a square but you’re gonna be letterboxed at a smaller resolution

You just proved what I was saying though. The thought doesn’t have to be binary. You have a multitude of choices. But the moment you make an action, that is binary. You either do that specific action or not.

That’s an interesting thought. Thinking doesn’t have to be binary, but ultimately an action is: you either do it or you don’t. There could be 5 possible actions (including inaction) but whichever one you choose is a binary action (you either do it, or you don’t)

So places not to be during the zombie apocalypse.

Can we do the same thing for people who don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom? (I think there was a far side comic with that)

I would love to see someone say straight to his face “I’d buy you” “you can’t” “why not? You’re black” and watch him try to reconcile that. Idiot

Cool cool, now realistically, do you have the time, resources and know how to find and contact every owner of every federated instance these comments have made to? Would you be able to deal with the legal resources of any number of jurisdictions to truly test whether that is actually enforceable?

My point basically is that it’s functionally impossible regardless of what the law says, and you should treat your comments and personal information as such that they won’t ever be able to be deleted or scrubbed.

Except that only applies to federated servers that exist in the EU. If your data gets federated out to a country outside of the EU, they don’t have to listen to your whines of GDPR as it’s not enforceable. And given that you could be federated with hundreds of instances across the world, good luck.

I said the same thing with AI scraping. All someone needs is to add their own instance that federates with everyone else and they can scrape data for AI training till their heart’s content.

Just a PSA, early voting starts October 21st (this coming Monday)!

It is if the garden is enclosed and they can’t get out

I don’t think the US recognizes the ICC, so (unfortunately) it stands to reason they wouldn’t care what they rule.

Realistically they probably thought he was “weird” and just went about their day after that. Not even close enough to tip the scales
