The actual “story” is that photoshoots for stock photos do a lot of random scenarios at once with given actors.
There’s photos of the two women getting together and conspiring against the guy. There’s also photos where he’s visibly in a relationship with the other girl instead.
If anyone wants to break ChatGTP the easiest way, right now it’s to ask it to do riddles until it gets stuck in the fire or water riddles. They’re extremely similar, and extremely typical of a generic riddle format, and ChatGTP… Mixes up the two all the time.
No one. This is just a thread for terminally online religious fanatic teenagers who forgot to pick a religion. That’s why they care so much and use 4chan-loanes words like Janny.
Normal people will take a look, hear about how people want to fuck simba, and just move on.
I’m kinda new to dota, but i noticed that if a player leaves then teammates gets the money instead of him. In these cases almost always the team with the leaver wins....
I’ve seen absurd scenarios where a 2 vs 4 is won by the 2, but generally, the team with the more people wins.
Let’s talk value. You can generate more money by making a single last hit per minute than a leaver gives you passively (25 gold per minute for a single leaver), in fact, a leaver is comparable to the money aura one of the neutral rats has, which is unanimously agreed to be the worst passive skill Doom can copy in the jungle. In fact a teammate can even generate you more gold by being present, all they have to do is stack the jungle once every 3 minutes and done, they’re far more valuable than a leaver.
But a leaver means you lost a teammate which means one less source of stuns and whatnot. You have less actionable manpower in return for that marginal amount of money. And that’s just not comparable. Even an item-less Sven can stun your enemy core and buy you 3 seconds of free hits on them. You have to pay 6000 gold and use up a slot and lose the timed-opportunity to buy something else for that effect with items.
With more and more leavers, this becomes more complicated. Yes, each of you individually gets more gold. 66 gpm with two leavers. But, if you’re at 3 and below players a problem occurs: The map becomes too big and wide for all of you. You don’t have enough manpower. You become susceptible to ganks and splitpushes.
Allow me to elaborate: Dota is a game with three primary driving tactics in roughly a rock paper scissors disposition. Splitpushing beats Grouping Up, Grouping Up beats Ganking and Ganking beats Splitpushes. With 3 and less players you largely lose access to anything other than grouping up and pushing. Because if one person is told to defend or farm alone, they get ganked. If you try to push, you get enemies forming distractions elsewhere that you can’t respond to without losing firepower.
Let’s push as 3. You can still win a 3 vs 5. Enough items and spells to go around and maybe you blow someone up and make it a 3 vs 4. Easy win! Okay, but what about… You can win a 3 vs 4 + a splitpusher. But are you faster at winning a fight AND pushing than someone pushing solo unimpeded tho? And you can win a 3vs3 and push… before losing two towers against individual splitpusher solos either. You’re now entering the realm of trading towers at a loss. But worse - the solos can even split a tower AND cut your wave behind you. Basically, they waste your time and take value, and next time, they’ll do it better.
So, just tp someone back to deal with it? Or blink backwards? Congrats, now it’s a 2vs4, or gasp a 3vs1. Kill them near your base? Your tp is on cooldown and you have to walk back to push with your other allies - oh oops, they’ll revive in time to defend. No progress. How do they even know where you’ve been moving? Oh, right. They have 2 supports that can afford to ward and give vision instead of focusing hard on objectives.
The longer it goes, the worse for you. Take rosh? Lose a tower. Chase with two top into the jungle? Yeah they were in your triangle and top jungle taking turns shoving the other waves and are now at your Tier 3 lowering your future gold. You think you got a kill on two, but they pushed and got tormentor and now venomancer has something that will waste 2 seconds of your BKB that your leavers didn’t even fully pay for a third of.
It’s actually a good sign that you may believe a leaver impacts the team positively as that might mean the people you’re playing with are just… Too bad at dota to strategize like this. But it should not, under any circumstances, be representative of higher tiers of play unless of someone lucks the shit out of what heroes they had. Ember Spirit, Nature’s Prophet, Tinker, Old TA aghs, and a couple others can handle player deficits better than most. The 2vs4 won by the two? It was a Nature’s Prophet and a Pugna microing the leavers, one of which was a naga who could push with illusions and sing to stall the 4. Luck played a gigantic part in that win.
It’s weirdly also good that you see leavers with some frequency too, it means that the game didn’t lump you with smurfs. Players leave game less often the more dota they play.
You’re saying this… On Lemmy. You do know we have three different “trending” settings here, right?
I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that’s what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.
Basic cyber security says that passwords should be encrypted and hashed, so that even the company storing them doesn’t know what the password is. (When you log in, the site performs the same encrypting and hashing steps and compares the results) Otherwise if they are hacked, the attackers get access to all the passwords....
Any password restriction that LOWERS entropy is a bad restriction.
No, I’m not answering the question, I know. But I’m answering the better question, which is “is this a stupid thing to ask of a password?”, and yes it is.
I feel what you feel, and I agree with the dehumanizing comparison, but it is what it is. I just can’t understand the mentality of the herd because it highlights a completely different set of priorities from that of good social media environment. So I hold that comparison to all its negative contempt.
Threads comes up with minimal advertising and people join it without really caring what it does and how well it does. It comes with many of the same usability and content discoverability issues that Twitter had on a its worst of days. The hierarchy of sponsored content vs follower content vs follower interaction vs follower-of-follower content vs whatever the hell further down this clown parade Threads openly does is just completely whack. And it is still just as obfuscated as the rest in terms of being favored by its algorithm, plus monetization of content is a complete question mark. And yet people still join, and not any random person, but the every-person and the famous and the political. AOC herself ignores Mastodon and makes up an excuse, but is on Threads day one.
And Why? Why join a mediocre, underbaked, and by the numbers platform that basically doesn’t even innovate on the previous one? Because of the promise.
The promise it could be “The Next Big Thing”.
Not saying I’m above it. Not saying there’s superiority in standing to opposition to this or anything. For every thing I care about here, there will be many other things I don’t and where I frustrate someone. But it still does make me overall more jaded about the world regardless.
I personally played it when it first came out, on Halloween! I had actually found out about the whole twitter thing a minute after Toby posted the game, I believe from Askfriskandcompany’s mods answering an ask about it. The experience was very immersive that way. I had absolutely no clue what was going on, lol… I think that...
The day it came out. Me and two more people were basically going at it together on each of our computers and we were psyched out that Toby Fox was seemingly making a Horroresque spin-off to Undertale and making a survey on it. It’s like, out of all the RPG makers out there, half and half seem to spawn off of either Earthbound or Yumme Nikki aesthetically.
Then one of us beat the Lancer fight and it kept going and they went “GUYS IT’S UNDERTALE 2”
The most important people are the first followers. A website with a guy commenting alone is sad for the guy. A website with a couple people commenting is sad for whoever’s not talking.
Discoverability was largely the reason why I got in fights with Mastodon users over the platform being in a bad place when Twitter had its first wave of musk awfulness.
I find that the system is now much improved, but man, I can’t stress out just how bad an impression I was given that everyone seemed to think searching posts by tags was a bad thing, and that tags in general were, in fact, objectively broken at the time. Like, people go on social media with purposes in mind.
It’s fixed now. Tag activity is shown correctly. Tag history also gets shown correctly. You can also follow tags. That’s all I wanted, and acknowledgement of it, not a philosophy discourse.
I personally can’t wait to see communities like r/hiphopheads, r/internetisbeautiful, r/listentothis, r/battlestations… join lemmy and become as active as they are on reddit. what are some of y’all fav?
This works, but it's very amnoying to write for long urls on mobile. I seriously hope we get a "subscribe on external community" button added at some point, so that we don't have to do this stuff when direct linked to a communty.
I like this attitude. Nothing can make a ressit community the official unless if it's a branded product's reddit, and at that point, why the FUCK do you want your community in the control of the brand?
You can't removed about Riot on the LeagueofLegends sub like you can removed about Blizzard on Overwatch and whatnot. That is not a good location for the communty.
Kind of surprised how negative some people took this blogpost (viability of esports complaints aside, which were NOT most of what I've seen). 7.33 and Muerta's stuff were pretty good updates and I think I would prefer more of that than more reworks to the frontpage just to support BP features.
Plus, there's no way in hell Valve isn't going to keep selling expensive shit.
As hopeful as that take may sound, it is just not something that I can observe as true.
This post is evaluating the next steps for the protest and currently sits at 800 comments. Of those, the majority, be it a vocal minority or not, is heavily against the continuation of the protest. They are vocally stating their mind that the protest harms the community, is an abuse of power, and more than simply not wanting it to continue, they want others to know that it shouldn't have started at all. I find it disheartening to read, but honestly, it's a gaming community, I kind of see it as expected, awful and immature people is the norm.
But, let's assume that the people who do agree just left, then, right? The loudest are are always the angry people, and the content ones stay quiet. I can make that assumption and look around for them then.
Except, the local alternative here is completely deserted.Putting aside unverfiable places like Twitch, I go and prod other established websites. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Discord, Steam, even /vg/... Everywhere dedicated to the game that I check, there's no noticeable uptick of people. I can't find people looking to actively talk the game except on other communities within reddit. /r/LearnDota2 and /r/TrueDota2 got more threads than usual. Those people making the comments are frustrated, but the ones that supposedly aren't and are willing to browse around are just... Either still on Reddit, or completely Missing. They didn't go to an alternative community and aren't participating and building a new space. They're just sitting and waiting for their existing space back.
I guess I'll have to wait 2 days to find out if they actually just went out and touched some grass, or if the majority is spiteful of this move.
I honestly, genuinely think that a "No Moderation" protest would go down better than a "Blackout" one. Some people have no idea the impact the loss of the API will have on their lives and even actively suck reddit's corporate dick defending them, saying it only costs 24 cents to have moderation bots working (ignoring the setup for those moderation apps, while in the same breath saying reddit costs money to run). They need to see what value they're losing.
I seriously doubt reddit has that level of manpower or cronies to spare. The site is seriously not sustainable if they have to do the paid labor it would require to do all of this themselves.
Doubly so on weekends. Which would, conveniently, be when such a protest could start. The 1st of July is a Saturday. Imagine you being the guy being told "We need you to stay in the office on Saturday playing frontpage whack a mole against our entire userbase. There WILL be porn in there. So much porn."
