Veilguard looks like it does well in some areas that are important but have little to do with the actual gameplay:

• No DRM
• Great scalability and an incredibly wide choice of settings in graphics and UX
• Looks good
• Runs without stuttering
• From first impressions it seems like an actually finished product for once, but we’ll see about the bugs.

So on one hand I want Veilguard to sell well so bean counters can maybe draw some conclusions, on the other hand it’s still EA and writing appears to be even more uninspired than ME:Andromeda.

The hurricanes will continue until emissions improve.

Isn’t it fascinating how you can talk honestly about religious texts when you’re not bound by dogma? Fundamentalists hate this one simple trick.

it can be helpful to consider the thought as bad as the action for the purpose of weeding that behaviour out of our lives. Not that the thought is as bad as the action, because clearly it isn’t.

Considering how many (ex)Christian folks struggle with guilt for having “impure thoughts”, that appears to be a flawed approach. You can’t control what kinds of thoughts spontaneously appear in your mind. Imo you should simply be aware that these thoughts are separate from your intentions and actions towards that person, and don’t guide those actions.

Keep in mind that the Bible treats adultery as property crime against the father or husband of that particular woman. If you try to apply Jesus’ teachings to infidelity specifically, you must wrestle with a bunch of historical and cultural baggage. Nothing wrong with treating a story as inspirational, but again, be aware that you’re making Jesus more cool and progressive than he probably deserves.

Yeah, Jesus is prone to hyperbole, agree on that.

Counter point: literally the next two verses

31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Not to mention that “adultery in his heart” is essentially thought-crime, which I personally find rather unchill and not based.

DLSS and XeSS (XMX) are AI and they’re noticably better than non-hardware accelerated alternatives.

Even more interesting that land use had a marginal cooling effect, despite also causing a net increase in CO2 emissions.

Thanks for the explanation, you really came in clutch.

Until now I was under the impression that this was the goal of these notices:

If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

Because if an LLM ingests a comment with a copyright notice like that, there’s a chance it will start appending copyright notices to it’s own responses, which could technically, legally, maybe make the AI model CC BY-NC-SA 4.0? A way to “poison” the dataset, so that OpenAI is obliged to distribute it’s model under that license. Obviously there’s no chance of that working, but it draws attention to AI companies breaking copyright law.

(also, I have no clue about copyrights)

Nice argument, unfortunately I don’t care about laws of physics

Looks like Delta will be one of the first, but I don’t think it’s available just yet.

I think “Nintendo” should be treated like a plural noun because they consist of many lawyers.

Nice try kiddo, but sloth is a sin 😎

They aren’t using paste any more. Since 11th gen Intel’s desktop CPUs are soldered, if I remember correctly they use some kind of indium alloy, and so does AMD.

Edit: All desktop CPUs since 11th gen and some 9th and 10th gen according to Intel

If you’re worried about random exes and repacs, I’ll let you know that there is a DRM-free GOG version of Disco Elysium. Of course you still need to make sure you’re downloading it from a reputable source, but it’s basically as good as it gets from safety standpoint.
