  • Oof. Well, that’s a new server to add to my personal block list. I don’t pay attention to servers. But I don’t wanna provide traffic.

  • Why are top university websites serving porn? It comes down to shoddy housekeeping.

  • I baited this response. I was being sarcastic. Dorks can’t help themselves.

  • Anthropic joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron

    Jump

  • You know a bunch of other companies you may dislike also fund blender too, right?

  • Why are top university websites serving porn? It comes down to shoddy housekeeping.

    Jump

  • Why shouldn’t they? Did you know VHS succeeded because of porn? Same thing here. They are top because of porn.

    The logic is irrefutable. There are absolutely zero downsides to porn.

  • Microsoft Teams users are extremely angry at new banner asking them to pay

    Jump

  • This isn’t new. I’ve seen similar banners in the past few years. And I complained to our IT team or my manager both times.

  • So every button is just a different prompt? Sounds silly.

  • Oh, so their mastodon account isn’t the one they really use. 😒

    I see they post real posts and these doodles on Bluesky but not on mastodon. I use to follow them on Twitter.

  • RDR2 is making me feel extremely sad

    Jump

  • OP has valid feelings here. They are noticing how our modern world is an intermediary in social relations. How removed we are from nature, and social connections. How social connections were key to survival. Etc.

    This is all true even if they didn’t talk about the harsh realities of the time too. Or the moral character of various characters. Some of the responses here are missing OPs point. And seem to not be able to parse out the nuance and focus of their post.

    I think it’s great that they can experience this game and take this away from it. This is what art is for. And this is part of why RDR2 is such a masterpiece. It’s not just a game of shooting people. It has depth and character and humanity too. This is why it stands tall among other shallow “shooters” or “open world games”.

    If you look at what OP is saying and reflexively point out that you only see it as a murder simulator, then you are really missing out on the artistry and complexity of the game. They didn’t say it depicted a utopia. Just that it makes them see the alienation that modern society causes. Alienation from nature and each other.

  • Oh boy, I hate it when people say “this was written by AI.” But…

  • Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price

    Jump

  • I find that trackpad icky. I hate how PlayStation users have been forced to mash the mushy button that it is for the past 10 years.

    It’s never lived up to the potential.

  • The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code

    Jump

  • People like this author stress me out. But that’s a me thing. Nothing against them.

  • The Boy That Cried Mythos: Verification is Collapsing Trust in Anthropic

    Jump

  • I’m willing to believe them, because if any of the security or safety issues are true, then they damn well better take careful action.

    But if it turns out it was overstated. That sucks, and they deserve the flack.

  • Aww, they failed to clone the structure of Reddit.

  • I hate how deeply integrated promotion for it is on Apple TV right now. I think it harms the Apple TV brand. (They partnered for a bundle)
