Stoat desktop feels like it was just put in the oven, especially on Linux. It may get there someday, but I cannot recommend Stoat in good faith.

So it ended up better than before.

Not sure what’s up with the surge of dbz memes but I am 100% on board.

Probably has the same legal “protections” as Ship of Harkinian and the like - it requires you to own the ROM, and they are not profiting off of this work (at least not openly and brazenly). They are not bypassing any encryption using proprietary keys, and they are not redistributing any copywrited assets.

Nintendo is going to have a rough time of it in US court.

Imagine living in a world where “your” “rights” involve somebody else. In no universe do rights involve another person.

Makes it a massive pain in the ass to find them on watch/read tracking websites, especially when they have those ~ and 《》in the title (or subtitle). As an avid Manga reader, I have started skipping those series because, more often than not, they are just as uncreative as their titles. SEO or not, a good story will be spread by word of mouth. These writers are just screaming they don’t have confidence in what they are creating.

Note that it was likely staged, just like the other attempts.

With less than 1/10 of the money.

I am responsible for gathering information on AI to determine whether we should use it for our next project. The ask was to use it for a critical process task. Immediately in my head I was like “no, we are not using AI at all”, but I obviously need quantifiable data. This is just another thing to add to my list of why using AI for core processes is one of the stupidest things you could ever do.

Then we had the 30% who had that ONE issue they couldn’t accept Harris for and decided not to vote which implies they are fine with Trump or with their mental gymnastics think they have the moral high ground by not voting for either.

He doesn’t have the authority to do a lot of things, but nobody is going to stop him.

The fun part is when you need to talk to HR you go to their website and it says “if you need to contact us reach out to your HR partner.” and doesn’t even give you a phone number or email.

Banks are hilarious. They use YOUR money to invest and make more money, then they have the audacity to give you paltry interest. Meanwhile they charge a percentage of a sale for processing that has a flat constant amount of processing power used. It costs them the same to process a $1 transaction and a $10,000,000, but they have the gall to charge 1.5% for both. Sure you can argue that the 1.5% is to cover overdrafts and nonpayment, but if you pay the bill in full you should be refunded the extra.

The US music industry has always been bullshit, going all the way back to record labels. I would feel bad for the artists, but I don’t give two shits about the distributor who acts like they own the music and feels entitled to all monetary rewards for someone else’s work.

Starcraft 2 is super fun as a randomizer in the RTS format, but I do want to see more done with that IP. The problem is, like you, I will never give Blizzard a single penny ever again.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

The cost of a 2 bedroom apartment has doubled over the last decade. Groceries are up 50% and I have found that the food I buy is spoiling way before the best by date, as if stores are not properly handling their merchandise due to cut regulations.

Despite getting small yearly raises my spending power has not increased at all.

Im fairly quick to block, especially if the person is clearly acting with bad intent. Id rather have slow and steady high quality content than mediocre garbage every few seconds. Social media does not consume my life and I lived in the era of forums. I am used to waiting for good content.

Thanks for reminding me i have a craptop in storage thst i can use for a server.
