I’d say that’s more of an AI industry issue than anything else. All AI art needs to be easily identifiable and sourced as such, but I doubt AI producers will want to hide tags on all their AI generated work though.

I thought I read that there’s no charge if on the same network. It’s just for accessing your files remotely from other networks.

Eh just get an AI to make AI versions of all the videos you want to watch on YouTube, then upload those. Then you wouldn’t be stealing anything obviously.

There is definitely mental illness happening here, just not from the LGBTQ+ members.

It almost sounds like “Autumn Fall”

I honestly expected the next Witcher to feature Siri as a protagonist after playing as her a bunch in the Witcher 3. I’m more surprised at how surprised everyone else seems to be at this.

I really wish I could help but my experience with Linux is limited to my breaking desktop mode on steam deck from time to time.

My advice is to go through the settings app and just take time to read everything. There are YouTube tutorials made for people trying to make Mac more like windows that will teach you things that even longtime Mac users like myself may not be aware of because we never thought about it.

There’s a console app that lets you put in manual commands not unlike Linux, but my experience with that is very limited.

They’re throwing it everywhere faster than they can figure out what it’s actually good for.

They’ve sunk ungodly amounts of cash to create unrealistic expectations for the VR market. Nobody can compete for the low end, and there’s no way meta is profiting, so what’s their end game?

I’m not going to lie: I would own a Quest 3 already if it didn’t have Meta all over it.

They’re all about saying as little as possible using a slightly altered version of a scripted scene.

More like using as few words as possible while relying on the scene for the context.

If I tell you:

I get off the computer, go to bed, then look at my phone.

It sounds pretty normal. Am I happy? Sad? Apathetic? Communicating without expressions or gestures often leads to misunderstanding. Have you ever got into an argument with someone online because they misunderstood the intent of something you said? Maybe you forgot your sarcasm marker? Well, if I had opted to send you instead, I would have also told you that I more or less feel disgusted about myself without actually adding any more words, or even typing anything at all because it’s already in the image.

Now I won’t agree or disagree either way whether it’s a cancer, I don’t really care. It’s just another way I observe people communicating. I’ve heard people tell me the way African Americans speak is "destroying the language.” It’s not. It’s just a dialect that manifested where a void was left to be filled. Memes do something the regular alphabet does not.

Unrelated, but look at gen alpha slang. Kids too young to know correct English learn their words through games and memes, often outside of direct parental supervision. So if they need to express something more abstract, they do so using words that seem close enough and sound nice, referencing ideas that others in their circle can quickly and easily comprehend. Suddenly some popular tiktokker uses it and then that word is codified in the vernacular. Most of it will fade away as they get older, but some of it might stick around and get absorbed into the greater language.

If I show you what is message do you receive?

I just see memes as an extension of language. When we read English, we can sound out the words if we want, but we really just recognize the words as a whole and understand their meaning. Kind of like a kanji or a glyph. I think of memes as really powerful evolutions of this. People can communicate really complicated or nuanced emotions very simply and clearly with a meme. It’s like a kanji using actual art and imagery rather than strokes. Not saying we’ll be communicating strictly through memes or anything, just that it’s a way we are communicating, and you can’t really control the way people talk.

XII was one of the first mainline games I played through, and I really got into it. After playing most of the rest, I get why it doesn’t come off as a “proper” FF game. That said, I always wanted more just like it. Perhaps a spinoff, or maybe ivalice alliance could be reinstated as a more tactics-focused FF franchise while the main line goes on doing… whatever it did for XVI.

Tactics was actually my first introduction to FF as a whole. I was intimidated by the numbers attached to the titles of all the other ones, so tactics seemed like a good place to start. I still love the music and the atmosphere of Ivalice, and I feel like so much is left unsaid about that realm.

If the kid is below 21, what is such a circumstance defined as?

If a kid calls his teacher a bitch and get sent to the principal, is that censorship?

If nobody plays defense, they blindly assume they’re right about everything. That’s about it. Like children without an adult to tell them off when they act fussy over nothing.

I’m inclined to think some corporate entity is somehow tied to this based on nothing but my gut.

Are they offering big money? Nintendo loves that more than people.
