An app I developed was once used by Angela Merkel.

Michał Kiciński is not the owner of CD Projekt. He was a co-founder, but left the company in 2010, though he still owns shares in it.

Any “IRL Yandere” would be a horrible person IMO. I don’t see any issues with liking such tropes in fiction, but in real life, stalking and that kind of obsessive behaviour is definitely not okay. I would just stay far away from that community.

“Real” brands will usually have a proper website where you can learn about their products, whereas those Amazon pseudo-brands generally don’t, or only have a generic template. For example, something like 8bitdo or Fiio are what I’d consider proper Chinese brands.

In the 90s they put random English phrases instead of translating.

Nah, that’s just not the case for Pokemon. Looked it up and in the Japanese version he says 「たんパンうごきやすくっていいぜ」or “It’s nice that shorts are easy to move in”. Same meaning basically, dude just likes shorts in any version.

If the quality is roughly similar, I’ll prefer the open-source software but I don’t actively avoid proprietary software either. I use FOSS quite a bit, for example I use Linux as my main OS.

That’s actually a legal gray area in Germany. It’s unclear whether the browser cache legally counts as downloading. In any case, it’s not enforced. It’s only torrenting/uploading that gets people into trouble.

So what conclusion do you draw from this? If humans can’t be trusted to make any judgement, literally anything should be considered to be capable of suffering, including pebbles, rainbows and paper bags? Seems like an impractical way of living.

Most cheaper ones maybe, but Hifi headphones are still mostly cable-bound, for the simple reason that bluetooth has limited audio quality, especially if combined with a microphone. Regular headphones also never have to be charged, are better for the environment and a good pair can last you decades.

Bluetooth headphones have obvious drawbacks and are mainly being pushed for being disposable products where you have to buy a new one every couple of years (if not sooner), which is of course great for profit.

Where do we draw the line though? Humans assign emotions to all kinds of inanimate things: plush animals, the sky, dead people, fictional characters etc. We can’t give all of those the rights of a conscious being, so we need to have some kind of objective way to look at it.

Fundamentally impossible to know. I’m not sure how you’d even find a definition for “suffering” that would apply to non-living entities. I don’t think the comparison to animals really holds up though. Humans are animals and can feel pain, so of course the base assumption for other animals should be that they do as well. To claim otherwise, the burden should be to prove that they don’t. Meanwhile, Humans are fundamentally nothing like an LLM, a program running on silicon predicting text responses based on a massive dataset.

Agreed, at least when you define “best” by “scariest”. I’m unfazed by horror films and can handle horror games, but VR horror games are something else. Many of them I can’t even play due to being too scared to walk around the next corner.

“Advertise” to me implies a commercial purpose. So for a Lemmy community “promote” sounds more appropriate IMO.

Bourgeoisie I guess. And yeah, of course that’s rich. That would be rich anywhere in the world.

It’s also almost impossible to search Lemmy. Good luck trying to find a post from a couple months ago if you haven’t saved it or commented on it. Even if it hasn’t been deleted, it’s almost impossible to find it again.

Will I finally get the single player portion of the pack-in game that came with my Radeon R9 280?

Mixture of positions 2 (legs) and 3 (arms).

I don’t really watch a ton of overly political Youtube channels, but one that probably counts is “Big Joel”. He mostly does long-form essays about media from a leftist perspective.

I don’t really see the similarity, the two letters at the end? If so, seriously? I see it as a lighthearted way to refer to AI in a way that makes fun of people who think it’s this amazing technology of the future, when it’s really just a fancy statistics machine that can’t separate between truth and fiction.

A cream cheese called Philadelphia is not immediately recognizable as American?
