(cantankerously) people who move into an apartment building and think they can still blast EDM through their speakers with the bass cranked up need a damn reality check

what are computers? we just don't know

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

whole thing is a really good read; i screamed out loud when i read this part

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

pleased to say i can quit heaven burns red now that i have arrived at the correct amount of quartz

yeah this is a Problem if people ever stop believing

if Google or Meta never gets AI revenue to the level they expect they’re still tied to the advertising money faucet, they’ll be fine

if OpenAI’s profits never materialize we are in some shit

(xAI is, well, tied into the Elon Bullshit Machine)

Because marginalized people are the ones whose speech is most often disapproved of, the burden and consequences of deanonymization laws falls extremely disproportionately on them, and always will. No one should ever support mandatory age verification, ever.

Remember: You can't force a site or service to treat minors differently than adults without requiring EVERY USER to establish whether they're an adult. Which is, inherently, a deanonymization mandate, because to verify age, you must verify identity.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

I think it was originally called DZDoom and then renamed to UZDoom

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork."

UZDoom is now live here.

I'm just like a large language model in that I've read everything on the internet and it's made me effectively useless

more than eno percent can be dangerous for your brian

The whiplash from 'we are going to build responsible AI' and 'were worried about the addictive nature of these tools'

To:

'Were going to build a porn bot', 'were building a additctive, endless scroll social media app' and 'were bringing back the addictive model'

Is pretty big

why is it always this same pitch. it's either "you will soon be able to see [thing that already exists] but with [different actor]" i've seen this same pitch made over and over and over. the actors in the stuff i like are already fine. if they were bad at acting the part i wouldn't already like it!

one thing GZDoom adds over the vanilla Doom engine is the ability to look up and down, giving you the unprecedented power to shoot yourself in the foot github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom...

every time I see people mention the title "road to empress" my brain interprets it as a beatmania iidx unlock event

btw when i say the devs were smoking that good and this game deserves to share the spotlight with the all time kusoge greats i mean it. this doesnt even mention that the final boss is a cutscene and you blow into the mic to run from battles

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.
