If I need to prove something stupid and immoral, and it relies on the assumption that 2+2=5, then 2+2=4 is woke propaganda. Simple as.

Props for the dev. In fact because of these news I went to check their games out and find a good free one, Viridi; you build a succulents pot. Basically small version of my succulents/cactuses garden.

And one of the muppets behind Reddit, kn0thing.

Bad connection, eh? Either Starlink is crap and prone to bad connections… or not even its owner uses it.

As I mentioned in another post, about the same topic, he’s tying a sinking ship to another. So both can sink together.

Musk said the combined company will “build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.”

The funniest part is that this might not be a lie - I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk genuinely believed that.

…let’s get real. xAI’s main product is Grok, a text and image generator. Twitter is basically a blog platform for the sort of people who whine “WAAAH! TL;DR!”. Merge both and you’ll get what? Automated shitposting!

IMO the biggest appeal of Chrono Trigger is the balance between a well-made story and gameplay that encourages exploration,

Yup, pretty much.

And, as usual, advertisers are to be blamed: they’re the ones interested on “engagement”, and indirectly siccing platforms to artificially inflate their engagement numbers.

Why & When Is This Happening?

To make Reddit faster, simpler, and easier to use, we needed to unify our messaging platforms. This consolidation helps us focus on improving one system instead of maintaining multiple. Plus, Reddit Chat’s infrastructure is built for the future, unlike the PM system which is about as old as Reddit itself.

We’re sharing this change early because we want your feedback! We’ve spent months talking to mods, developers, and users to ensure this migration works for everyone (shoutout to u/RemindMeBot fans). But there might be scenarios we’ve missed, and we need your input to address them. You can share feedback directly with the team working on this project in the comments below.

My sides went into orbit. They aren’t even trying to come up with believable lies any more, right?

• If the concern was to make Reddit “faster, simpler, and easier to use”, they’d ditch chat and keep DMs
• “muh futchure” fallacy (appeal to novelty)
• pretending that they want/care for user feedback

…I think that the reason is twofold: 1) it’s easier to plug advertisement into the new chat system, and 2) chat only works in new.reddit so they can use it as an excuse to deprecate yet another old.reddit system.

Which is also how Digg v4 ended up, the brands as content submitters.

Exactly. Almost like Reddit decision makers know how Digg died, and yet they’re unable to not follow its steps.

Cordwell and Barker expect user growth for Reddit to stall in 2025 and, as a result, see revenue growth becoming more reliant on making the platform’s proposition more attractive for advertisers.

This won’t be even remotely fun for the people still using that platform. Because “making the platform’s proposition more attractive to advertisers” boils down to either more ads or ads that are more obnoxious, more disguised as content, more targetted.

Etymologically “agent” is just a fancy borrowed synonym for “doer”. So an AI agent is an AI that does. Yup, it’s that vague.

You could instead restrict the definition further, and say that an AI agent does things autonomously. Then the concept is mutually exclusive with “assistant”, as the assistant does nothing on its own, it’s only there to assist someone else. And yet look at what Pathak said - that she understood both things to be interchangeable.

…so might as well say that “agent” is simply the next buzzword, since people aren’t so excited with the concept of artificial intelligence any more. They’ve used those dumb text gens, gave them either a six-fingered thumbs up or thumbs down, but they’re generally aware that it doesn’t do a fraction of what they believed to.

Survive-em-up?

Seriously I fucking loved the name.

Normal bullet hell (Touhou): the enemies shoot a hell of bullets at you. And your job is to avoid it. Reverse bullet hell (Vampire Survivors): you shoot a hell of bullets at the enemies. And your job is to shoot even more, bigger, stronger bullets.

Pew Pew Woosh.

I’m still watching it as it’s a rather long video, but thank you for sharing that.

At those times you kind of get why Ninhelldo is suing Palworld. It is not about direct competition (Palworld plays a lot more like Ark than Pokemon); it’s because Palworld makes Pokémon look boring, uninspired, stale.

Correctly highlight when a programmer is being assumptive as a brick, even when assumptions are one of the biggest sins in programming. Done, you’ve triggered a lot of programmers.

The meaning kind of clicked to me the first time I’ve seen the word and tried to pronounce it - it ended as [ẽ.'ʒĩ 'ʃis], the first part is close enough to English [ˈɛnd͡ʒɪn] ⟨engine⟩ that the association was obvious. ([ʃis] is just the Portuguese name for ⟨X⟩.)

I know that URL.
