I honestly thought this was some kind of AI generated bike.

There’s the camp of those who say that inheritance is synonymous with OOP. I’m not in that camp, but I’d like to see you duke it out with them.

Pac-man was made specifically to appeal to women, a demographic that was rarely targeted with video games at that time. Its core design came right out of the idea that “women like to eat”.

Is this feminist-misogynist sandwich political enough for you?

Free games on Gog are hardly one click, since you have to go into the notification settings in your account to turn the marketing emails back off after they were turned on because you claimed a free game.

Don’t act like YouTube won’t crack down on those as well. YouTube getting more aggressive about ads is bad for everyone.

I don’t entirely get what’s going on in the comments here but I just love how one responder pointed out how SpaceX is not the same as Tesla when no one prior had mentioned either.

That’d still be exploitable. You could just run 3 of your own instances. Coming up with a system to stop malicious users that can’t be gamed would be tricky.

Extra spicy take: The Luddites were right. They were really always about opposing unethical use of technology, people who use their name as an insult were always all about “progress over people”, and you should never feel bad for being called a Luddite.

I use voyager and it straight up doesn’t display any avatars. Other apps might not either. But don’t take this to mean that I’d like to switch, this is far from a deal breaker for me.

The old Reddit interface also didn’t display avatars, either, even once Reddit introduced them.

My 2DS is my retro handheld.

I can see why you’d look at it that way, but it just says it can extract confessions, not that those confessions are truthful.

Ooo, old school AI 😍

In our current cultural consciousness, I’m not sure that even qualifies as AI anymore. It’s all about neutral networks and machine learning nowadays.

I don’t know if it’s actually related but I’ve definitely seen far fewer posts from 196 since then. It used to be all over all my feeds. Now I barely see it even on my subscribed view.

Pizza Tower is genuinely amazing.

Cassette Beasts also surprised me in how good it was.

4chan was never based.

Being able to black list, downplay or uplift specific sources is awesome

I’ve never heard of Kagi, but yeah, those features sound like a godsend. I’d love it if you could have that on a search engine that isn’t pay to use.

As much as I’ve come to loathe Google, I think even that is a bit unfair to them. Search engine optimization is a result of the existence of search engines, because being at the top of the results is always worth good money.

Back before Google was the top dog, there were numerous search engines, and I’m pretty sure people shared tips on how to get further up on the results even then, they just didn’t use the term SEO yet.

Google became the dominant search engine because it gave better results than anyone else, because it wasn’t so easy to manipulate your ranking on the results. But there were always sites that wanted to be on top even when they shouldn’t be. Google stayed ahead of their game for some decades, but now it looks like they can’t or won’t keep it up anymore.

Would be nice if we could start at not demonizing peaceful protests. Nowadays any protest is seen as a massive misguided problem of you so much as block a street.

Hm yeah, competing with such loss leader printers would be difficult. But how come I’ve never heard of anyone making things such as bootleg printer ink? Or does the police barge into the doors of anyone who tries?

I suppose you’re right, though that’s quite involved when all I want is to host an image.
