"Review bomb" aka getting bad reviews.

Who's ignoring hallucinations? It gets brought up in basically every conversation about LLMs.

Conversely low res audio clearly sounds like trash.

Loss leader to buy market share. It was never going to be profitable at those rates.

IMHO, worthless though it is, I don't get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG's. They have lots of A and no RP. (They are Gs tho.)

Because in 1996 experience points, leveling up, character attributes, and magical loot were all closely associated with RPGs. Over the intervening roughly 30 years those mechanics have been adopted by games all over the spectrum. However the genre-name for Diablo-like games stuck due to convention.

Also Diablo being called an ARPG predates Dark Souls by 10 to 15 years.

Are they not providing the hardware and software for this? If so she should just use what they provide for work.

Are you shocked that bad software can crash multiple operating systems or something?

I do the same but I use years instead.

It's kind of an inversion of "don't look back", which is thousands of years old.

Yeah, I'm thinking of circa 2000 MP3s. 128k was the good stuff and lower was still common.

Yeah, I had to do a security cert last year and it had a bunch of made up sounding crap like that.

WorkReform represented how I felt more than AntiWork ever did. That interview just made it really obvious to everyone.

I think that sounds like a cool use case. If it runs locally what's not to like?

I'm sure their custom database will be easy to find people to support and maintain

This wouldn't apply to that criticism. An ini is a configuration file, not really source code.

Buy your own domain name and put it in front of someone else's service. This is going to be a ton of work to do correctly and you're unlikely to be able to host it out of your house.

Also, something you're running off a Raspberry Pi in your house is not going to meet most definitions of 'reliable'.

That page starts by complaining that alternative medicine is represented negatively. Going to skip the rest of the blog lol

It actually has an interesting portrayal of post-war Japan. Not just a monster movie

Primary candidates don't usually select a running mate before the primary anyways.

He means the namesake, not the web service from the last 20 years.

Another Lemmy "hot take"

Well, other than roads, what have the Romans ever done for us?

"Be yourself" is terrible advice. What they really mean is "Be the best version of yourself that makes you a great friendly person that people want to hang out with". This might mean trying to change yourself to be whatever you think the coolest version of you is. This is fine because it's a form of self-improvement.

Agreed, the original was a stupid design. This is much more realistic looking and looks 'fine'. Though it doesn't look like it's worth 3 grand either...

Machinima wasn't really a thing in the early 90s. Closest I can think of is Reboot but that started in 94 (what I'd call mid 90s...).

Should just start referring to them as part time jobs. How much work can they be if he's supposedly doing multiple at once?

Is this about emarkers? It's just advertising cable speeds and power capacities for charging.

I don't think we have those in the US at all.

Anyways it's probably like that because it's eye-catching. Eg it's an ad

What makes you think it's not safe?

I mean disaster planning is about finding ways to mitigate things like power or internet going down to minimize or eliminate their impact. That said, accepting the risk of downtime because alternatives are too expensive is a perfectly valid decision as long as it's an intentional one.

There are no actual numbers. There are gross payroll numbers and number of employees per high level department, but no indication of how that's distributed or if it includes things like benefits. Basically useless info in a vacuum

I think this is just an excuse to delay it. I don't think there's that many big releases coming up this year.

Not everything needs a change management procedure, calm down there Satan.

Telemetry is important for prioritizing feature development and support for the silent majority of users that don't disable it and then complain about ALSA support being dropped.

You can already do that. How does federation help?

When all of your factory tooling and off the shelf parts are in imperial, you use that. :shrug:

Yep, no one claimed otherwise.
