"The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

"Some audio assets in this game were generated using AI."

[S]ince ill-conceived right-wing boycotts rarely tend to hurt the businesses they target in the long term, it’s entirely plausible that the true outcome of this backlash is fewer passengers spewing toxic politics to their seatmates. Friendly skies, indeed.

Well played, Rolling Stone.

TL;DR They won't delete an account that contains purchased games.

"If [it] does hit Earth, it will be repelled by the magnetosphere. But the collision will temporarily weaken the magnetosphere, causing a geomagnetic storm that could trigger vibrant aurora displays that light up the night sky. The storm will be minor to moderate (G1 or G2 class) and will not pose a threat to satellites or ground-based infrastructure."

Firefox's built in "Enhanced Tracking Protection" already does a lot of this work for you, especially if you select "strict mode." Go ahead and try this extension if you prefer. But remember to be selective with the extensions you add to your browser in general, as they also present an opportunity to introduce vulnerabilities.

I was going to answer this but I can't remember.

I'm not an Amazon fan either. But you may want to know that Newegg is owned by a Chinese company these days.

Child-free means one doesn't have kids and doesn't want kids. That's all. I'm here to connect with other people living that lifestyle. There's no need for anyone to brag about their free time/money/energy. There could be some overlap with niche philosophies held by other people here. But my understanding is that's not what the Child-free community is inherently about. Anyway, welcome!

At that time, it was generally frowned upon for retailers to display Christmas decorations or hold Christmas sales prior to Thanksgiving—a trend later referred to as "Christmas creep."

There's also the European Commission (as in the EU), and the Fedora Project (as in Fedora Linux).

As an American myself, I encourage you to keep your natural accent. We're a nation of immigrants built from people who originated all over the world. So there's not just one recognizable accent here. Nobody's accent is superior to others. I've known people from other countries who are self conscious about their accents. In response, I tell them honestly that I appreciate the way they sound. Variety is the spice of life, as the saying goes.

Cadillac also produces cars like this for IMSA (GTP class) & WEC (Hypercar class).

Tildes fits that description. The posts are text-only or links to websites. No memes.

I use that site in addition to Lemmy, not as a replacement but a supplement. It's just a different flavor of discussion.

It's invite-only but I can give you an invitation code if you're interested. Take a look, see if you like it, and send me a private message if you want an invitation.

I'm a member of a Discord server like that. It's named Past Gen. This is the server's own introduction:

Welcome to Past Gen Gaming! We're a community of generally older, but mainly patient and relaxed gamers. There is no age requirement to join us, just the mindset. We won't tolerate elitism, toxicity, nor any form of hatred. A lot of us don't have a lot of free time, so when we do, we like it to be a good time. So sit back, relax, and let's play some games together.

Just let me know if you'd like an invitation link. If so, I would DM it to you instead of posting it publicly.

To answer your question, yes, you're being paranoid and irrational.

I never knew anybody who used it. I had one contact on ICQ. Everybody else used AIM.

The title sounds a bit misleading. So here's what the article is really about:

"The latest effort, to be detailed at the massive annual Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas next week, seeks to provide a foundation for messaging, file sharing and even social networking apps without harvesting any data, all secured by the kind of end-to-end encryption that makes interception hard even for governments."

Welcome! You certainly don't have to match the stereotypes to fit in around here.
