And so I can slap their butts and call them thiccaroni with cheese

Such a good movie!

Fucking Gaius

Literally beat Bayle on my first try, but Gaius took me at least 30 tries (according to my boiled crab)

This kind of decision is not made by marketing.

Workers: "our bosses are inept"

You: "the gays are making their lives worse!"

This is what Fox News does to people's brains. Truly sickening.

It's not just greedy, at this point it's blatant. The release itself was already bonkers, but they could have saved things by working hard on the base game and releasing additional free content. But this? How many "sowwy we fucked up, we promise to do better, buy our new 132 DLCs" will they pull before people stop giving them the benefit of the doubt?

These kinds of companies would have sold data about jewish people in the population to the Nazis.

Protest against genocide? Straight to genocide. Be against genocide? Believe it or not, straight to genocide.

But he's also president of one of the richest companies in the industry because he always said this.

And while your point is valid for smaller studios, it feels like it's usually used by the big ones that do have the resources, but would rather give more money to investors.

Somebody approaching you, even though you're trying to move away and telling them to stop, is not a "mild annoyance". It's dangerous because weapons are so freely available. It would be better if they weren't, but while they are, you shouldn't do something like this.

They're gonna prioritise companies again and make it impossible for normal people to get it, right?

I like "orphanize" - one of those things that shouldn't be a word, but is!

Funny they should say that, considering that Bing is deeply integrated into Windows, and users have literally no choice of another search engine.

I don't think we should take any lessons from what CEOs say. If studies show that too much remote work indeed makes for worse results, I'm fine with it. If a CEO says it? Most likely a lie.

Crysis was built by a company specialising in building a high fidelity engine. It was, by all accounts, meant primarily as a tech demo. This is absolutely not the case with Starfield - first, the game doesn't look nearly good enough for that compared to Crysis, and second it's built on an engine that simply can't do a lot of the advanced stuff.

The game could be playable on max settings on many modern computers if it was optimised properly. It isn't.

I had to run experiments that generate a lot of data (think hundreds of megabytes per minute). Our laptops had very little internal storage. I wasn't allowed to use an external drive, or my own NAS, or the company share - instead they said "can't you just delete the older experiments?"... Sure, why would I need the experiment data I'm generating? Might as well /dev/null it!

You think most Republicans could graduate cum laude with a BA in International Relations and Economics?

Get a second dog which you pet before the other one?

I hate it, makes me look much less like a hacker while installing pre-built software from other people

I accidentally bought Wilds instead of Worlds. The best accident I've had!

In a way, I try to live my life so that if some kind of higher power existed, they'd think I am a good person. Not as a gambit to get into heaven or whatever, I don't believe in that. But trying to imagine an objective arbiter of morality makes it easier to take myself out of the equation, which means I'm more likely to treat others as I want to be treated.

You're probably right, especially considering this sentence:

It's difficult to see in advance that removing game assets from the game will result in the unavailability of said assets in game.

I've seen this kind of defense meant honestly before, so I'm not 100% sure, but by god - I hope you're right.

They also had great success with Sekiro, which was (and still is) very different from their other titles.

sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd && sudo apt-mark hold snapd

Typically, tech firms don't mind red numbers as long as their user base is enormous.

They didn't while it was cheap to borrow money. Since interest rates have risen, you can't make these kinds of investments anymore without having some immediate pay off.

I'm not following Vaush actively, but I've never heard any transphobic remarks from him, and the "pedo" stuff has been pretty thoroughly debunked. Do you have specific examples you could share?

That's... Surprising. If you're doing things right, double quotes should be no trouble at all:

• HTTP requests have simple, automatic encoding
• SQL queries with prepared statements don't need any special handling for double quotes
• Rendering the data should happen with proper escaping etc.

They are usually only trouble if you're doing SQL queries wrong (concatenation etc.) or if you're not escaping your output.

Even more weird: Version 3 was released in 2011. In the same timespan we went from 2 -> 3 we went from 3 -> 6!

It depends. I really liked Mozillas initiative for local translation - much better for data privacy than remote services. But conversational/generative AI, no thank you.

Does this imply showering is evil?

It actually seems to be the opposite - Altman focussing on commercialization, whereas the board wants to continue the non-commercial focus.

I really hope this is the case.

Are there any predators smart enough to strategize like this? I know that some use water holes as hunting grounds, but that's probably more instinctive than actual strategy.

Kuno:

who the fuck decided rendezvous would be pronounced like that

You:

Poor monolinguals. They can't seem to understand that other languages besides English exist

Kuno:

what the fuck did you just call me

Kunoesse:

He called you Mongolian

The "Erfurter Latrinensturz" is a great candidate:

The Erfurt latrine disaster occurred on 26 July 1184, when Henry VI, King of Germany (later Holy Roman Emperor), held a Hoftag (informal assembly) in the Petersberg Citadel in Erfurt. On the morning of 26 July, the combined weight of the assembled nobles caused the wooden second story floor of the building to collapse and most of them fell through into the latrine cesspit below the ground floor, where about 60 of them drowned in liquid excrement. This event is called the Erfurter Latrinensturz (lit. 'Erfurt latrine fall') in several German sources.

Because Toyota invested a lot into hydrogen instead of EV, and they need to recuperate at least some of it.

Having a vacation away from your home isn't required to rest, while groceries are required to not die. Yes, vacations away from home shouldn't be a luxury only for the rich, but there's still a fundamental difference.

We should be so lucky that a fascist police state could be overthrown by 200 disorganized unarmed people walking into the capitol.

It wasn't just 200 disorganised unarmed people, it was 200 partially-organised partially-armed people with explicit support from the sitting president trying to disturb the proceedings, so the president could carry out his plan to use "alternate electors".

Why do people like you always act like the republicans weren't hoping to capitalise on what happened?

Guess I'm not a programmer, because this feature has been a real god-send in my recent projects.

Everyone has to think like them. Everyone has to act like them. Any deviation from what they consider the norm is bad and evil and must be avoided.
