The brute forcing of AI into anything goes into the next stage.

Good thing I don’t care that much about graphics since I’ve been a teenager.

Back in my day we just responded with “didn’t read LOL”

Never heard anyone getting payed for donating anything in Germany. You can get an compensation for expenses, yes. But this is not supposed to be a payment for your donation, it is supposed to compensate for your expenses. For example: Finding a babysitter or paying for bus, train, gas. Sometimes you have to make a medical examination beforehand, which also can take some time.

The German Red Cross for example explicitly doesn’t pay the donors so nobody gets the wrong idea and tries to donate as much and often at the cost of their own health.

I think the idea that a compensation is equal to a payment is flawed beyond reason. If someone has a problem with any organisation misusing donations for profit, they should (rightfully) engage in changing the law. Categorically not donating at all is…well it’s just selfish and stupid.

How the turn tables!

I first read “fediverse coup” and got exited. My answer is a disappointed no.

Pretty personal stuff. But I will try and keep that part short. She got a diagnosis. Nothing world ending but nothing pleasant either. And the only thing she could think of was ice cream. Again, the details are nobody’s business. So I fast forward to the important part. She processed the whole stuff while I was still trying to hold a grasp. She is way stronger and more mature than I. Her positive attitude is not an act, it is her very being. I on the other hand flip my shit when I catch the flu.

I am glad we can agree that the Chinese government is trying to weave a false narrative that all of that has been instigated by mysterious western powers working in the shadows and as long as people stick to that they will be perfectly fine.

Don’t care about what the yankees have done tho. Don’t know what’s that about all of a sudden.

echoing a bit of recycled propaganda from the 1990s.

Excuse me, I can’t follow. What do you mean by propaganda?

?

Not yet?

Friendly reminder that Ubisoft has a workplace environment somehow worse than Blizzard and their CEO protected his bros who sexually harassed coworkers. There is absolutely nothing of value lost when that company goes belly up.

Or, get this, they are just not interested.

It might finger your belly and blow your tits clean off, but: 99,9% of people go to the gym to train and then fuck off home again.

I tried some of the more harmless ones and it’s been hilarious.

Idk. 700ml?

I think I would buy a lemmy.world mug, as long as it’s a huge one. Don’t know about ads tho. Selling user data would end with everyone scrambling their content into Lorem ipsum and scatter to smaller instances. Lemmings are different from redditors.

I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I don’t want these people here.

I never really thought devs misunderstood that. They aren’t the problem. Do the same survey with the publishers.

The only times I went to PvP I only did so to complete some quest, and I only did so with lots of comfort food available. It was a horror show every time. As a pure PvE player, I got pissed off too many times when Bungie nerfed my stuff because people in PvP got upset about something AGAIN.

I don’t like it when people call developers lazy. It’s bullshit 99% of times. So I think the problem was with the players themselves. We (including myself) showed the higher ups at Bungie, that we would still buy the next season, the next expansion no matter what.

Your other points are also true. It reminds me when D1 was at its best in the year before D2 was released. All quest available, all weapons and exotics obtainable. All raids returned in an updated manner with their weapons, gear and even some shiny shit you could put on your stuff to sparkle more.

I left Destiny 2 roughly 2 years ago and I don’t miss it. Fuck that clusterfuck of an addiction made video game. It’s not even the good kind of addictive like Factorio. It just pisses you off and you still keep playing.

Absolutely. Looks like a project that didn’t get the rights.

Anything porn or erotic stuff. And those communities dedicated to anime girls. Furry stuff, too. But I honest to god can’t remember why. Might have been a reflex.

Edit: I just checked and I also have a lot of lemmygrad communities from back before the defederation. Aaaaaaand I blocked anything AI “art”. List looks like this:

And what exactly is unpopular about this? I thought it was common sense?!
