I think a big part of that is that it's exactly as shitty as you'd expect everytime. That's some impressive consistency for a beverage that is sold worldwide, and in huge quantities

Sylvartas ,

Got roped back into Tarkov because of the PvE mode. (I got the EoD edition on sale a while ago)

Sylvartas ,

As a "gamer" and game developer, this is sound advice.

Sylvartas ,

That makes sense, but then you'd just have people converting the int to a float manually and run into the exact same issues.

Sylvartas ,

Agreed. But the less experienced programmers I know are surprisingly naive about this.

Sylvartas ,

Meh. Imo anyone comparing an integer to a float and not expecting one of them to be implicitly casted to the other's type will create that issue for themselves when doing the same thing with an explicit cast.

Sylvartas ,

Yeah they have some cool gadgets and designs, but this kind of shit + the software side has always kept me away from the brand

I thought this was covered by "This is America" /s

Sylvartas ,

I'd argue all the humans left when artstation became big. All my artists friends used to upload their (non porn) work to deviantart before artstation was popular. But banning the porn was the first nail in the coffin for sure.

Sylvartas ,

The UI looks more "slick", and it is censored, so your portfolio or whatever you want to showcase isn't displayed alongside some MLP porn or pregnant Sonic comics. Which doesn't mean there isn't tons of "artistic nudity" on the site though, last time I checked.

I'm not an artist myself but I know the artists in my industry (videogames) love to use it

Sylvartas ,

"I use ash btw"

Sylvartas ,

Which is probably why I have a soft spot both for the "lost technologies" scifi trope, and fantasy universes where magic is studied just like any other science

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Sylvartas ,

Spotify's model is doomed to fail over time.

This right here. At the very least, unless they are not beholden to shareholders, it will eventually reach market saturation and will have to cut artists' share, hike prices up, or add more paywalls to keep the line going up

Sylvartas ,

I'm not exactly the age or attractiveness that most people expect in a touring musician, either.

Just start making IDM. Looking weird and/or unattractive seems to be a requirement (and, don't get me wrong, I'm here for it)

Sylvartas ,

Joke's on you, there is no mistake in your comment.

Sylvartas ,

I have only used it for a little more than a day so far, but I'm already in love with it because it basically required 0 tinkering to get my Nvidia GPU to work, and the few games I have tried have been running almost flawlessly.

Previous commit was some stupid easy fix I didn't even bother compiling. Well, I should have, because it was the first time in recent memory I committed some code with a missing semicolon...

Before anyone asks : no, we don't do reviews ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sylvartas ,

I have never seen it framed as "it is an absolute disgrace that this game does not have a hard mode, and if you think otherwise you are an idiot and/or ableist (or whatever the opposite would be)" tbh. Which is pretty much what the easy mode advocates were saying about Sekiro the last time I followed that debate

Sylvartas , (edited )

I'm in southern england and it's solid all year.

Well, there's your problem

Sylvartas ,

Imo, community-wise, reddit is on track to become another 9gag. Which is to say, a crypto fascist cesspool.

Sylvartas ,

Good thing that the existence of a GUI for a program doesn't prevent you from using its CLI version then !

Israel using Meta's WhatsApp to kill Palestinians in Gaza through AI system ( www.middleeastmonitor.com )

According to software engineer and blogger, Paul Biggar, however, one key detail on the methods employed by the Lavender system that is often overlooked is the involvement of the messaging platform, WhatsApp. A major determining factor of the system’s identification is simply if an individual is in a WhatsApp group containing...

Sylvartas ,

even if you don’t know for sure that the machine is right, you know statistically that it’s fine. So you go for it.

This kind of shit is why I have zero faith in the fact that AI will be used responsibly in basically any field. Mfs are already using it to avoid taking responsibility for potential war crimes ffs.

Sylvartas ,

I assume that a feral/stray cat that isn't too spooked by loud noises (which may or may not require them to be deaf, I'm not a veterinarian, nor an animal behaviorist) could have a decent time in a WW1 trench. Most soldiers were probably happy to pet them and/or bunk with them, and there would likely be a nearly endless supply of live rats to play with/eat somewhere.
