...Nintendo has removed online support for pretty much every other platform other than the switch. I get that this comes sooner for China than expected, but it was an inevitable outcome either way.

3.5 Their lawyer successfully argues that, while the AI is the product, the company shouldn't be held accountable for their product ~~lying~~ hallucinating because it would set a bad precedent for the industry

They also don't have nipples (though do have mammary glands) and mother platypuses basically sweat milk through their skin for the pups to collect off their fur

The scaled down rectangle should be narrower; it's not scaled in this diagram, it's squished.

(Yes I know you can 'scale' objects on one axis but that's usually not how it's taught on an introductory level. Standard scaling assumes object similarity, which is not present in the diagram's 'scaled' rectangle.)

What a phenomenal country to allow this sort of thing to occur at all

Any time a news headline asks a question, the answer is almost always "no"

A "privacy" company acquiring and centralizing various projects to be under its umbrella seems kind of worrisome to me even if it's done with pure intentions.

Imagine a world where combined C-suite salaries were capped at the tax burden a company owes past a certain point. I think that would be incredibly funny to see the conflict of interest at play. Want your accounting/legal department to research tax loopholes to exploit? Sure thing, but it's coming straight out of your paycheck!

Oh, you "had a bad year"? Probably shouldn't be taking home a hundred million dollars then.

Combined with a "top pay can't make more than x times the salary of the lowest paid employee" with the exception being the tax thing, I could see it being a great double bind into making companies either pay their workers more or actually pay their share in taxes.

I know it would basically never happen in the US but a girl can dream

Assuming all of his traits listed are "default" is part of the problem

(I'm sorry, I know it's a joke and I do think it's quite funny but I feel like I have to bring this up as a disclaimer)

I use Firefox whenever I can.

On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.

I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.

It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.

Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips

I could comment on the notion that one owns one's girlfriend but regardless, you should definitely self host if you're sharing deeply personal information with a program

Hot take:

Every time I see a Doctor Seuss parody that doesn't respect the very strict meter that made his stuff flow so well, it's always followed by about five minutes of me trying to fix it and then stopping because that was supposed to be the author's responsibility. You can sneak in an extra syllable here or there, and there will be situations where it's ambiguous based on word pronunciation, but any more than two syllables off and you should've workshopped it some more.

Take all of these matters most seriously
The gravest of grave should be clear
To step out of meter where any could see
Will only get side-glancing sneers

And who, then, shall patch up this unfinished road
Assembled with half-baked word stones?
'Tis not my intent but I think it's best flowed
With a concrete from Onceler's old bones
