Well, a single action is never going to de-program these people. You ask why any approach would make anything better or worse, but I noted why certain approaches make things worse. I don’t know how to affirmatively convince these people, but I’d say a necessary (even if not sufficient) condition to making things better is not making them worse.
I mean, this is psychology, not politics or logic. When someone is told not to do something they feel they have the right to do, they are more likely to do it. When someone is told they’re stupid when they have been trained to feel correct and logical, they are more likely to stand by that belief. If a figure that they have developed a vicarious, parasocial relationship with is validly criticized, they will denounce the critic as if it were an attack on the core of their being, rather than agree with the critique.
These right-wing beliefs are like psychological parasites, ticks. The only correct solutions are to remove it with surgical precision with a careful plan. Prodding it and squeezing it is what you instinctively want to do, but that just makes it dig in further.
I suppose because he can at a moment’s notice gut the SEC and presumably now that X is incorporated in Texas and I have to assume xAI is as well(?) there’s no federal or state fraud investigation likely.
Feels quaint that Trump in 2017 even went to the trouble of filling a table with blank papers to give the appearance of being concerned about conflicts of interest, and this outright self-dealing corruption is happening daily while nobody in power even talks about it.
I remember it was not really a surprising set of metrics: gameplay, graphics, and fun.
It was about having an experience you couldn’t have at home (or anywhere else) because the games were always noticeably ahead of the curve.
Graphics were what was most attention-grabbing. It’s hard to communicate how impressive it was since we’re in the diminishing returns era for graphics. But a jump from Pac-Man to Rush 'n Attack or Contra, and from that to Street Fighter II, and from that to Ridge Racer, and that to Daytona USA, and so on… Every step was so imagination-bending.
What would it feel like now? Maybe like if you could play an actual Pixar movie as a game? Something like that, but there’s nothing that really expresses it, photorealism isn’t even that impressive anymore.
People post things as therapy, I know I do.
Posting insane things and hearing it recognized as such is a way to remind ourselves that we’re still sane.
I’d love to hear someone ask him what “environmental protection” means.
Emulators with rewind and save states mean regular humans can finally enjoy this game.
Senator Thune will receive an Industry Champion Award for his work on policies that encourage innovation and competitive choice for customers. We’re not aware of any pioneering copyright policy the Senate leader was involved in, but he did extensively advocate for consumer freedom, including the Filter Bubble Transparency Act.
The MPA hasn’t mentioned Thune in any communications on its website before, aside from the fact that MPA’s Senior Vice President of Federal Government Affairs worked for him previously. That said, the award shows that the movie industry group values his work and achievements.
“Here’s an award!”
“What for?”
“For what you’re going to do!”
Honestly looks like a lost 90s arcade game.
Thank you for this. I plan to look at the authentication part more closely, but that’s the part I can’t quite figure out (being an amateur at this stuff but still trying), since I’m nervous with just a password accessing it remotely or from the phone.
Authelia, NGINX, there is so much that’s confusing to me, but this might help.
Your setup is closer to “statistic” than “anecdote,” so curious how many drive failures you’ve had?
What is the primary OS you run to manage all of the components?
Pretty funny, hopefully no humans get caught up in it, though. It’s the kind of thing a serious stupid person could call the cops on.
It’s an incredible resource - here’s hoping the publishers don’t kill it.
Oh, wow…I let my guard down for one second. Ugh.
Edit: I’ve gone back and looked at it very closely. I still don’t think it’s AI, on balance. This seems like a still from a video clip that has compression artifacts. My clues:
Against AI:
For AI:
I’m not 100% sure, but I suspect it’s real.
Edit 2: As others have noted, it’s real. My AI detector isn’t obsolete, for a few more months/weeks/days at least.
It’s 2025, misinformation is rampant. And here you’re all acting like we can just trust that this is Windows 3.11 and not XP running a VM. Wake up sheeple!
Edit: /s needed?
You can thank Rupert Murdoch, but yes, it is.
Workers who are heavily exploited, underpaid, and lose their job to this type of political nonsense are usually at best suspicious and at worst hostile to unions. They bathe in right-wing propaganda about “right to work” and greedy/corrupt unions just being another layer of bureaucracy that siphons off their wages.
Without hyperbole, this is actually the cutest kitten I’ve ever seen.
Now we know how water wars will begin.
Well, there may be an imminent incoming pandemic, or it’s just normal fascism things, like turning off all public information and then whitelisting propaganda-safe data to be turned back on when it’s vetted. Can’t really tell which possibility is a worse sign of things to come.
Genuinely confused - I never said or thought that we should placate anyone. Just advocating that we think through the methods we use when we communicate and the effect it will have.
