VirgilMastercard@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•Lord Buffalo Drummer ‘Forcibly Removed’ From Plane and Detained by Border Patrol; Band Cancels European Tour20·1 day agoSounds like the Gestapo are just arresting everyone and anyone with a vaguely “foreign” sounding name.
I don’t mind AI now that I’ve vastly lowered my expectations of what it can do, and am aware that “AI” isn’t actually real. An LLM might be useful in some situations where you can reasonably expect it to give a decent answer and where your task isn’t particularly important.
Problem is, most of it is forced on you and is not privacy friendly.
VirgilMastercard@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGCEnglish151·2 days agoPersonal anecdote. My PC cost me £900 in 2017. I haven’t upgraded it since. I have saved a significant amount of money in that time that would otherwise have been spent on PlayStation Plus for the benefit of playing multiplayer and the general higher price of games.
Even if you accept the argument that consoles are significantly cheaper in the first place, the point that PC ownership saves money in the long run is often overlooked.
I’ve never owned as many games for as little cost as I do now.

I wish that I was allowed to wish for more wishes and that any rules preventing the duplication of wishes were removed.

VirgilMastercard@reddthat.comto memes@lemmy.world•My wife asked me to share this with you all.272·5 days agoYou can have pockets without pants with the skin pocket procedure. You get a pocket sized square of skin removed from each ass cheek, and grafted on to the outside of your thighs. Don’t worry about the sting on the buttocks, two ice packs will be provided for relief until the skin heals.
Now you can wear long sweaters without pants and still have pockets!
Can’t spell drugs without U
I remember watching a documentary about North Korea and one of the guides was talking about how people in NK and Asia more broadly don’t necessarily want to live under the same liberal-democratic capitalist system that the west tries to impress on them.
How arrogant are we to act like we have it all figured out and that countries outside of Europe and North America are backwards shitholes?

Do you think Justin Bieber sprays his DNA all over the ladies when he’s in Paris, France?
“I want to change the world with this tech”

“3 billion you say? The company is yours!”
The Unabomber and Pope Leo were both good at math

VirgilMastercard@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices downEnglish54·8 days agoHe says that like big budget studios are barely scraping by. Piss off. AAA games are massively profitable. What he really means is that endless growth is the most important thing for investors/shareholders and that we should all just shut up and accept it.
They could get the regular £50 from me for the game, but their greed means they’ll get £0. I’ll just pirate it (if/when it releases on PC). And I’m sure there will be a lot of people with the same mindset.
VirgilMastercard@reddthat.comto World News@lemmy.world•Germany sees new debate over possible ban of the AfDEnglish801·9 days agoTrump should serve as a warning. Get the fascists before they get you. These far-right parties will all be looking to emulate Trump’s actions if they get a sniff of power.
I live in the UK but Northern Ireland so I just invoked my right to consider myself an Irish citizen to sign it on your behalf ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)👍
