It’s news because of how extreme it is. 4 months in prison for having a novelty toy letter opener? Seems absolutely absurd.

No, left side is correct for the breakfast gun.
A gun that size isn’t actually big enough for situations where you need a gun, it’s just meant to provide cover fire while you get a bigger better gun. You’ll be using your left hand to fire the cover gun, so that your right hand is available for picking up the bigger gun. This has the additional benefit of leaving your dominant hand free to eat with.
Yeah, after some years of DDG getting worse I finally dropped them. I switched to Brave and it’s surprisingly decent for an independent search engine. If you search for something that they don’t have good results for they’ll ask you if you want to get anonymous results from google as well, which means I don’t usually have to switch search engines for harder results.
They do seem to have a much lower number of image results though.
Yeah, the bank that manages my mortgage has mandatory text message 2fa if you’re on a new computer. And something about Firefox keeps it from remembering my machine, so I have to do the text message 2fa everytime.
Right now it’s working fine, but they had a period of a few months where the text messages would take 10-15min to send after you tried to log in, and the log in attempt would expire after 5 min, making it impossible to log in. All of which could be avoided if they would let me use a 2fa app.
Do people actually pay for Paramount+? I figured people just got it for free with Walmart+.
Now the question is who did it better, 8-bit guy or Technology Connections?
AI generated csam is still csam.
Idk, with real people the determination on if someone is underage is based on their age and not their physical appearance. There are people who look unnaturally young that could legally do porn, and underage people who look much older but aren’t allowed. It’s not about their appearance, but how old they are.
With drawn or AI-generated CSAM, how would you draw that line of what’s fine and what’s a major crime with lifelong repercussions? There’s not an actual age to use, the images aren’t real, so how do you determine the legal age? Do you do a physical developmental point scale and pick a value that’s developed enough? Do you have a committee where they just say “yeah, looks kinda young to me” and convict someone for child pornography?
To be clear I’m not trying to defend these people, but it seems like trying to determine what counts legal/non-legal for fake images seems like a legal nightmare. I’m sure there are cases where this would be more clear cut (if they ai generate with a specific age, trying to do deep fakes of a specific person, etc), but a lot of it seems really murky when you try to imagine how to actually prosecute over it.
Other people are making good counter arguments, so I’m just going to address one bit:
You can also look at how despite charging a 12% platform fee, Epic Games Store does not sell games 18% cheaper.
Epic hasn’t been running their game store for very long, and they’ve been operating it at a loss to secure market share. They lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year on their store. This is mostly due to them buying exclusive rights to games, but my point is that the EGS is not a successful, self sustaining business. Epic taking a 12% cut doesn’t mean that 12% is enough money, because their whole business model is about losing money to attract users.
You also have to remember that the storefront cut is an upfront cost with an unclear long-term cost. Valve is promising to always host the game and cover the bandwidth for every future download and update, no matter how many updates or how many times someone downloads it. Not to mention that they also will host mods, provide matchmaking, video streaming, and many other benefits.
No, the version they released isn’t the full parameter set, and it’s leading to really bad results in a lot of prompts. You get dramatically better results using their API version, so the full sd3 model is good, but the version we have is not.
Here’s an example of SD3 API version:
And here’s the same prompt on the local weights version they released:
People think stability AI censored NSFW content in the released model, which has crippled its ability to understand a lot of poses and how anatomy works in general.
For more examples of the issues with SD3, I’d recommend checking this reddit thread.
That lawsuit is from 2021, and was thrown out later that year for failing to meet “the most basic requirements of an antitrust case,”
they also protected themselves against that by including a clause that prevents selling games cheaper on other stores
Is that even a real thing? Other stores sell games cheaper all the time. Even when buying steam games it’s usually cheapest to buy the steam key from another store, because someone else will have it on sale for cheaper.
It’s still the market standard for digital stores, and if steam was greedy they could absolutely charge more with their market dominance.
For comparison audible has audiobook market dominance, and takes a 75% cut. If you agree to make your audiobook audible exclusive, they’ll “only” take 60% of the profit, and many audiobook authors take that deal because getting an extra 15% cut on audible is worth more than the sales from other audiobook stores.
Audible is what you get when a greedy corporation has market dominance, in comparison Steam’s cuts are very tame for all the benefits they give.
Here a link to bypass the paywall:
I don’t think the title translated correctly for me.
So how do triple rainbows work?
It was probably a year ago or more, I just remember it because the poster didn’t realize it had a butthole and didn’t tag it NSFW.
I know there was an issue not long ago where Sopuli had to defederate from kbin for awhile. Kbin had a federation bug that was endlessly spamming federation updates and it was causing Sopuli to fall behind on federation.
Mbin had a fix up pretty quick, but several attempts to reach the Kbin admin all failed.
So, just Rimworld then.
Not rimworld specifically, but when I was younger I played the hell out of my games. I would replay them over and over, finding every secret. Big RPGs already take a long time to beat, but I would do multiple playthroughs as different classes and play styles.
These days I have less time and way more games. There’s a part of me looking for an excuse to not buy any interesting new game because I feel guilty about all the great games I own and haven’t played, and the games I have played I’ve only played once and haven’t “finished”.
I would hope so, but Asus has been doing things like this for at least 10+ years which makes me doubtful that anything will change soon.
That’s not even a weapon though, any steak knife would be much more dangerous due to having an actual handle on it.
It reminds me of when the british police bragged about taking a bunch of weapons off the streets, and they had just confiscated a tool bag from a handyman.
