fox,

Obviously Trump won’t be any better than Biden, but if Biden wants people to vote for him rather than sit home and vote for nobody, he should consider not doing genocide. You know, an elected politician trying to represent their voters? The thing democracies are nominally for?

The choices as they stand right now are:

  1. Vote for genocide
  2. Vote for genocide
  3. Don’t vote

This sucks.

fox,

Government measurably improves standard of living, people continue to support government. I’m shocked

fox,

Anyone working with dates and times was cursed in a past life. Timezones are a pain to work with. Daylight savings sucks. Some countries change daylight savings at different times. Some countries change timezones sometimes. Go further back and some countries had their own leap days. Different calendars don’t form neat cycles and must be manually synchronized every few years. Did you know Easter, for about 300 years, needed to be announced by the Pope each year because it was a lunar holiday based on a Jewish calendar but the Christians followed a different one? Also, every now and again we throw a leap second into the computers because the Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down and 365/366 days isn’t quite precise enough anyways.

fox,

Others have covered it but the API pricing was $12,000/50 million requests, which is absurd bordering on comical.

fox,

Hey quick Q, why were there US Navy seals that far from the US?

fox,

Code is pretty small but images, textures, voice lines, etc can crank it up

fox,

FBI and CIA killed all the militant left wing activists and right wing activism is just shooting up mosques and running over peaceful protesters.

fox,

There’s no real point to nfts as licenses though. The only party that can authenticate a license, the creator, wouldn’t want to give up their control over licenses, and the wouldn’t want to resell used licenses because… Why? That’s a ton of work to implement when they can just sell a new license.

fox,

Hbomberguy, after doing a video that deleted Tommy Tallarico by exposing a career of lies (even getting one of his world records removed in the process of research alone), put out a video discussing plagiarism where he, with receipts, showed Internet Historian, Illuminaughtii, and James Somerton conducted significant plagiarism. All 3 fan bases went feral over it. Somerton deleted his socials and lost a shitload of his patreon money and IH’s fans are having a Normal One.

Somerton was the main focus of the video. He’s a gay man who created a series of video essays that are basically all entirely plagiarized word for word from dozens of other queer creators, pretty much straight up stealing money from them. Hbomb has dedicated all the revenue he makes from this video to be split between everyone somerton stole from, which hilariously includes Wikipedia.

fox,

In this case it’s not really discourse so much as plagiarizing minority voices and directly profiting off them. Hbomb describes how a Somerton patreon subscriber discovered him reading her own essay back at her uncredited. She was paying him to steal from her.

Dude’s also a misogynist. When he isn’t stealing people’s words his original contributions frequently attack white women, and he’ll also misgender creators that he feels are “as bad as” women so he can attack them through the same lens.

I feel like in discourse you need two sides and nobody is on this dude’s side.

fox,

Social murder is murder and Biden is at the very top of the chain that led to those deaths

fox,

For sure they know, it’s just cops are lazy and aren’t paid to solve crimes

fox,

Arms manufacturers want more $ and can’t get more $ if the stockpiles are full

fox,

Article seems to push the point that you can, in fact, buy a “last-gen” phone and it’ll be just as effective as the current gen. Which is true, since phone improvements are marginal or just shit that includes image-editing AI in the camera firmware since the diminishing improvements of hardware are really starting to kick the manufacturers’ ass.

fox,

Some people genetically just don’t smell bad when they sweat

fox,

Gabe was talking about the making of Half Life, back when you shipped your disc and that was that. And the game was, apparently, crapola.

Same kind of deal with the original Deus Ex. It was a spaghetti of poorly interacting systems until the devs were able to make it all click together.

fox,

There’s a bunch of creatures that don’t use oxygen but they’re mostly all prokaryotes, since oxygen metabolism unlocks a shitload of energy you can use for being large and complex.

fox,

It’s definitely not simple to use but I agree that the conceptual model it represents is straightforward. I think a lot of the problems people have with git come from not understanding the underlying data structure before learning how to manipulate it.

fox,

I agree, those dicks definitely could be doing better with their money and we should take it away from them for societally useful things.
