probably harvested from reddit and repost here. which is fine, I do that myself for some comms sometimes, but inevitably it will get comments like yours

I was hoping that when Apple released thr iPhone 17 with a horizontal island it would end the wobble on a lot of phones, as others tend to copy Apple.

Unbelievably and fucking annoyingly, the iPhone 17 still has one of it’s fucking camera lens jut out enough to fucking wobble still. Which fucking engineer okayed this fucking shit.

I still want a google pixel for the visor, but last year I bought a S24 Ultra as it was cheaper and I don’t like the performance of the Pixle 9 overall. (I always buy the previous gen of current year, when I need to). Oh well, after my S24U breaks maybe when pixel 14 or 15 comes around I’ll get a pixel. Or some other phone with a visor camera island like it.

Me being on the family computer running XP and finding porn for the first time around high school age. Learned a lot of things immediately after.

Got caught and lectured.

1. So I learned to wipe history and cookies.
2. I honestly don’t remember anymore how adblockers work back then or it exists. Probably does. But fuck all the fake Download buttons and X to close buttons.
3. I learned how and where from to torrent safely eventually.
4. became the tech support cleaning all the stupid toolbars. FML

Dilution of buzzwords like roguelike and roguelite. I’m waiting for soulslite to pop up soon.

Although metroidvania I somehow have no qualms with, since pretty much any that I’ve seen is pretty faithful.

I have. Good reminder, I best watch it again, again.

This is indeed not shared enough. I’d compare his face to gollum but I’m sure gollum would eat my face in disgust for my travesty comparing piece of shit Mush with gollum.

It’s weird how the Hollywood versions of this is “humanity is bad therefore kill humanity” instead of “the oligarchs are bad therefore kill the rich to save the rest of humanity”.

It will never not be morbidly funny time that the creepy fucked up rich people pedophile ring did not want Elon Mush around.

I guess we have to make that post their top post now

If I’m on the receiving end of that, I’d flip a coin or roll a dice for a decision. If I don’t like it, I pick the other (two choices, coin flip), or reroll (more than two, dice roll). IDK where I heard this tip before but I really like it. Of course I only mostly do this for trivial stuff like where/what to eat, where to hang out at, etc.

Someone else that remembers /r/subsimulatorgpt2. It was fun seeing the bots posting nonsense until they have to shut it down.

Now, not so much…

I remember there was a subreddit that’s dedicated to bots using gpt posting nonsense. No non bots are allowed to post there, and sometimes when there’s gold we post it on a sister sub to comment on them. IIRC the way it works is there’s a bunch of bots that scan some top something subreddits and post in the gpt sub. So for example there would be a /r/worldnews_bot, /r/aww_bot, etc. you get the idea.

In English class (am not from English speaking country) and exams, I always pick the fiction essay category. The school here (back 20 years ago, dunno how they do it now) has formatted essays (like writing a (in)formal letter, or a report) choice for easy marks. I don’t like writing those. For what it’s worth, I got on average A’s on my English exams. There’s a minimum word count to reach for free essays, and I used to get comments from my teacher to cut it short and not go past double the word count lol. Sadly I don’t remember what that word count was. I am very thankful for my teacher for encouraging my class to read and practice writing English so much. I even have a pocket thesaurus/dictionary I carry everywhere back then alongside whatever novel I was reading that time.

Point is, idk what my point is lol. Just sharing.

Edit: so okay maybe a point can be said about interest of the topic in writing (essays). I did bad on any other topic essays (geography, history, not science though I scored those essays).

oh hey, I just installed swiff last night, and another well timed (at least as far as I encounter it) Bryant article about it. 🤩

Yeah that’s weird. Quite a few of the smaller refurb shops here (south East Asia) just pirate Windows and Office suite.

Only the most ardent AI worshippers believe these aren’t PR stunts.

I remember this day. Was a wee lad. We were on vacation. The TV was on and apparently it was the news. I don’t remember if it’s breaking news but it might not be, since we’re 12 ish hours different time zones, and I remember seeing it at day time.

Well, back then I thought it was a movie…

And the eerie part was that my dad had just gotten back home from a business trip there just a few days before.

Highly likely

first thing came to my mind are the tachikomas from ghost in the shell for some reason
