Download all existing literature to build a library for preservation and you’re called a pirate.

Said library contains petabytes of the exact text of each and every piece of literature.

Download all existing literature from aforementioned library to train an LLM and you’re a tech innovator.

Said model contains gigabytes of a bunch of weights that can never go back to the exact words of the book.

What a strange world we live in.

It’s not strange at all. It’s degrees of compression. You compress a JPEG to the point that it’s unrecognizable, and it’s no longer breaking copyright. It’s essentially like trying to write a book you just read based on memory.

March 2025, WTF?

The gameplay mechanic can be a bit trolly at times, purposely trying to trick you very often, but I had a lot of fun with this game. It just has a vibe that works a lot better than the jump scare bullshit horror games you find elsewhere.

A while back, I told myself that I wasn’t going to watch any YouTube video over an hour. But sometimes, really good YouTubers that I respected ended up putting out great two-hour material, like Folding Ideas or RLM or Grimbeard, and I just ended up watching these things, anyway. I might watch it for an hour, switch over to something else, and then watch the rest later. I just did that with the RLM Christmas video they just put out a few hours ago. It’s a hell of a lot better than the fleeting TikTok garbage that is geared towards maximum overstimulation and minimum education.

But, I also watch a lot of YouTube. And I still have my limits. I don’t understand these videos that go up to 5-6 hours. That’s just a lack of restraint in the editing department in my opinion.

Nope, direct access doesn’t work, either. You got some cookie that isn’t getting saved properly.

If it’s an indie game, there’s a 95% chance you’ve never heard of the developer.

Half of people arrested in London may have undiagnosed ADHD, study finds

FTFY.

Postal was a 90s edgelord game. It doesn’t really fit in this era. Even if they managed to make it, I doubt it would have sold well.

It’s a shame, but also, there’s billions of games and RPGs out already. The game industry is so oversaturated, it’s not even funny.

Because if fucking Apple of all companies starts taking gaming seriously, maybe Microsoft will again, too.

You can’t expect large megacorps to “do the right thing”, no matter how you define that. Linux is the only path towards open-source software and promotion.

Doesn’t matter. If they haven’t convinced people to switch to their platform, they haven’t solved the problem of transforming the medium.

I see Bluesky handles more than Twitter handles nowadays, even among popular streamers, YouTubers, whoever. And I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a Mastodon handle.

leads it into being something truly unique and wonderful that directly challenges some of the most evil and wealthy people on the planet,

Everybody switched to BlueSky, not Mastodon. So, I feel like this whole project has been a failure, especially in the marketing dept.

BlueSky barely got started in Feb, and people immediately jumped ship from Twitter by the millions. Mastodon started nine years ago, and people hardly know what it is.

The original reason Krafton gave for firing the founders was that Subnautica 2 was being pushed out before it was ready just so the founders could get their bonuses.

Neither sides of that look good.

Elfen Lied? I swear the only thing I remember about that anime was the controversy about its gore and themes.

Journalists should be funded by the public, as they perform a public service, while simultaneously they should not be required to report favorably upon the state.

And that’s the crux of the issue, isn’t it? You can’t let corpos piss all over journalism to turn it yellow, and you can’t let a state-run press dictate the citizen’s world view.

Information wants to be free, and that’s realistically the only way it can work.

Name the cases.

I feel like this would be as batshit crazy as handing the beloved Dune series to a madman like Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Enter The Matrix was one of the rare exceptions. That game genuinely slapped.

The game was glued together with duct tape. And not the good kind. The cheap Chinese knock-off brand that’s been sitting in the hot garage for 5 years.

I’ve been playing around with bazzite a bit, and for sure, i can run a lot of games on it, but you often end up googling which launcher to use, which settings to use, … And then even if you find something, it doesn’t always work.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Launch Steam.
2. Install game.
3. Hit Play.

Zero issues.
