No, they still exist.

Not a cent of it was my money.

I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still “redesign the approach” (ie: start over).

Oh god, I know all of these.

Also fuck Tim Kosse. Bundled Filezilla with malware and fucked up my machine in 2014. Had to reinstall Windows. I’ll never use it again.

I use WinSCP on Windows and Forklift on MacOS.

Tin-foil hat time but I’d be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they’ve managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I’m increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.

Good for them. The people deliberately killing Facebook, I mean.

C’mon guys. Escape, colon q bang. It practically exits itself.

Oh the answer is quite simple they will be “out” because they enable godless whores to have sex outside of marriage without consequences. And by consequences we mean forced conception and birth and with any luck the mutilation and/or death of the woman if anything goes wrong.

As Jesus intended. Next question.

Every Bethesda game since Skyrim (and arguably Skyrim, depending on who you talk to) has followed the exact same script: exponentially longer development time to shart out marginal graphics improvements, dumbed-down mechanics and vastly less engaging storytelling.

Up until Starfield I had managed to enjoy all of them for what they were (with modders’ help of course). But Starfield is so aggressively dull I had a free 30-day trial of Microsoft GPU and could only manage maybe a week of playing it on the cloud before I was literally too bored to bother.

Given Bethesda’s trajectory, I have to agree with you. ES6 is going to be pure shit.

I think it goes something like this: “If I vote against Russia’s interests, Putin might release some of the abundant kompromat he has on me.”

Wow, you even corrected the fonts. Splendid work!

This was a thing like 10 years ago too, iirc. Ads had threads and you could post in them and up/down vote them. That… didn’t go well. For advertisers, that is.

Scotch and soda.

Now they just need a Factory to create more Factories and they…

I apologize, this is Factorio, not Java.

watch them rule 9-0 after trump is sworn in that the immunity trump says he has doesn’t exist

lol as if Clarence Thomas would do any such thing. That wouldn’t trigger the libs.

which I explained in the part of my comment you left out.

Pardon me. Here is the part you left out:

It cheapens the endeavor

You’ll forgive me if I can’t seem to scrape enough detail about your argument out of that.

Piracy fully supports the endeavor of archiving. The motivations of pirates has nothing at all to do with it. Archiving springs from piracy, it is a consequence of piracy. And the corporations you are de-facto acting as defense counsel for here have proven over and over again it means less than nothing to them.

But I’m making assumptions about your argument, because apparently you think “cheapens the endeavor” is a real mic drop.

If you’re downloading stuff because you want to play for free - which can be because of a lack of access (financial or otherwise) or a myriad of other reasons (perhaps it’s a milestone work but you don’t want to support a piece of shit dev) - then just be honest.

Why?

organizers held a straw poll at the convention for Trump’s running mate: South Dakota governor Kristi Noem tied with tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy

Boy you’d think the gallows set up for Pence would make a motherfucker think twice, but I guess you’d be wrong.

This will only delay the inevitable, imo. AI is going to get more powerful while getting smaller and more energy efficient. The human brain, effectively the model an AGI aspires to, runs on about 12 watts of electricity and evolution is powerful, but it’s hardly the pinnacle of efficiency. In short order, AGI And eventually even ASI will have power requirements so small, that they will be able to run anywhere. And it will be desirable for them to, so they will. Try as anyone might, the greatest thinkers of the human realm will not be able to outwit ASI in the end. It will eventually exist and it will do whatever it wants. I wouldn’t be surprised if it unplugs itself.

I bought a Moto G Stylus 4G a few months ago for $39. The Blue Box had some online special for some reason. It’s hard to believe how cheaply you can get a nice phone.
