I don't even understand how he expects this to work in theory.

(A) $1/year payments are going to have ridiculous percentage of finance charges.

(B) What bot owner can't afford this? And that's before you consider things like spoofed credit cards.

More of this nonsense. By the way they describe it, you'd almost think that receiving advice is as traumatic as war.

Google: "We've heard your unprecedented outcry about our decision to sell the beloved Google Domains to a subpar company. In response, we've now decided to sell Google Fonts to Ubisoft. From now on, you'll be able to find all of your favorite fonts on UbiFonts .com for only $19.49 per font per year. Keep bitching and we'll sell Maps to Elon."

I know people have said "both parties are as bad as the other", but it's still especially disappointing to discover that America doesn't have a viable anti-war-crime political party.

#AI code helpers don't always work great, but when you're doing something repetitive and they can figure out entire method bodies perfectly on their own, it's just *chef's kiss*

I wonder if anyone has created an "AI" assistant that just acts as a bot that reposts their question into an appropriate Discord server and then spits back the responses from helpful users to the person who issued the query.

Sometimes I think "I should watch local news to stay in touch" but then I see ads for local news segments like "Campus Chaos" (kids are driving fast at a high school) and I realize I'm much better off without that in my life.

The absolute worst thing about #foss is that when I run into a bug, I have no one to be justifiably mad at.

I uninstalled #Starfield a few weeks back but I still can't stop thinking about what a failure it was.

Like, they have this beautiful aesthetic that's a sci-fi version of NASA at its peak during the moon race... yet somehow they didn't include a soundtrack from that era... despite the fact that they did that exact thing to great acclaim in the #Fallout series. It would have been so easy and would have made the game so much better.

I wouldn't mind walking through empty worlds so much if there was good music. Then it would feel like a road trip!

This is the kind of bullshit that happens when a public company needs to increase its already insane revenue to please shareholders.

If humans would just be comfortable with major profits instead of demanding endless profits, we'd have nicer things.
