Once upon a time, humans liked to read articles written by other humans. Since these human writers were capable of doing more than just predicting the next token, they were able to maintain a sense of coherency and continuity through their articles and could write lists that referenced other items, especially when they were closely related, instead of each item just following an intro, brief description, conclusion format that gets quite repetitive. But then text predictors got good enough to predict coherent sentences that are often even accurate and can follow a given theme or topic and websites thought no one would care since it was mostly marketing and propaganda by then anyways and dropped the human writers into active volcanoes.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that as a puzzle before.
Actually looks like a pretty good (difficult) puzzle, what with how prevalent the blue is. I just did one that has a similar amount of dark purple and it was a nice challenge (paired with a rule against examining pieces and the picture at the same time, as doing that trivialized the puzzle I did before that one).


Yeah, personally, I’ve noticed that I notice and appreciate very high quality streams when they are there but don’t notice lower quality ones in a bad way (where “lower quality” is still like 1080p, 720p is more noticeable).
Like 4k looks great but 1080p still looks normal.

So shave your face with some mace in the dark


Or ask if round earth is a massive conspiracy, what’s the angle? How does getting people to believe in a flat earth rather than a round one serve an agenda to the point where even a simple test that could prove the flatness always “goes wrong”? And if they say that the experimenters get threatened or something, why do they generally remain as confused flat earthers afterwards? If they were going to be threatened, why half-ass it and let them continue pushing flat earth instead of making them change sides?

That is what rich people are talking about when they refer to cuff links. They are fancy jewelry that keeps your sleeves closed after you cut a slot in them to fit your beefy hands through but don’t use elastics or wizard sleeves.
Yeah, those gen Z folks probably didn’t develop those vapes and didn’t set the stage for the legal changes.
I still have one of those somewhere. Pretty sure it’s all clogged to shit.
My first weed vape looked like an asthma puffer lol. A couple more recent ones looked like zippo lighters (for 510 carts).


What an entitled and dumb twat. I guess he didn’t think it through that the guy maintaining it now doesn’t have some magical ability to tell who would be a good new owner and “handing over the mainline” to any one person could screw people more than any AI changes because that new person might be malicious or neglectful.
Forks need to earn trust and it’s best that that step isn’t skipped by some inheritance. Not that there even is any obligation to hand it off no matter how many people rely on it or complain.
And the comparison with ms or Google was dumb because I didn’t expect them to do it the way I wanted and stopped using what I could to get away from where they were going and any expectation that they hand over their projects to someone else would be ridiculous (and Google open source projects have been forked).


Have you mentioned yet that anyone can do that second one by making their own fork? And that no one is required to give a fuck about how they think it should be done?


Or just do it like reddit did, where you can delete your post content and remove your username from it, but the thread and comments remain.
Though with how the fediverse works, it’s possible to spin up a custom instance that highlights deleted content instead of deleting it, meaning the attempt to get rid of it can be what brings it more attention if anyone has decided to do it. Just like with vote identities, they aren’t anonymous and there are instances/sites that just show who voted for what.
WoW had it for intercity travel. Maybe it still does, feels weird that that game is still around lol.


I’m still undecided about their own text (deleting comments or post text disrupts the conversation but there’s valid reasons), but I don’t think the OP of a thread should have any control over the existence of that full comment thread.


Frankly, I don’t think users should have that power.
I wouldn’t say “never”. Eventually, some of them will get old and understand it firsthand.
Though the worst part is how perception of time is inversely proportional to enjoyment of said time.


Any specific issues though? Yeah, it’s a large change and I’d be more surprised if it didn’t have issues, but are there any specific issues with the updates that have been found so far?
Skyrim came out closer to 9/11 than to today.
That’s for functional. If you want to test optimized, can you run Crysis?
