Good. We don't need a bunch of shitty series that don't even wrap up before Netflix cancels them.

This guy unpacked the code to show that once you're 1000 points past your high score the game has an increasingly higher chance of being impossible. Not "quite hard", but literally unable to win. There's a good little interactive sample of how the game builds the impossible hands that it then serves.

Your note on "time to take a break" is funny to read, because the game accounts for this, too.

I thought physical media sales were up this year? People are sick of carrying seven subscriptions for a total of $175 a month, while still being unable to find that one movie they actually want to watch.

Maybe this is more of the same Sony attitude that resulted in no more physical copies of PlayStation games.

100% this. Me talking about politics is going to do fuckall where I live. Listening and dealing with it just wrecks my mental health, and for no gain. I vote and encourage/push my friends & family to, but outside of that it's just detrimental.

Yes, that is the question. Does it work as intended?

Since it's from a new provider (and more importantly), does it have anything malicious nested in there?

Isn't the port AI slop, though? Or is there a real one from a reputable recomp group?

FTA:

Anthropic warned against “[t]he prospect of ruinous statutory damages—$150,000 times 5 million books”: that would mean $750 billion.

So part of their argument is actually that they stole so much that it would be impossible for them/anyone to pay restitution, therefore we should just let them off the hook.

Somebody better put up a big fuckoff wall between the US and Mexico to keep the Americans out.

This repub regime is really showing us how much our system of government depends on having good-faith actors in (elected) positions of power. There truly are not sufficient checks in place to protect against one election's worth of bad actors.

Kind of amazing that this all worked for about 250 years, and heartbreaking that it could crumble in the next 2.5.

I suppose this means Microsoft will not count Word doc file sizes against users' cloud storage quotas, right? Right??

Isn't this true of like everything AI right now?

We're in the "grow a locked-in user base" part of their rollout. We'll hit the "make money" part in a year or two, and then the enshittification machine will kick into high gear.

And we will once again be forced to watch as the Democrats find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

They won the elections in a landslide only to turn around and IMMEDIATELY fuck it up.

A lack of adequate planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Adblocking is security and I will die on that hill.

The extra fun part is when it starts bitching at you for filling up the cloud storage allotment that you didn't know you were using.

Wholly agreed. There are no ethical billionaires. Fight me.

Hilarious that they blurred out "fuck" but the calls for genocide were totally cool to keep unedited.

Amazing that we don't consider shit like this to be bribery.

I'm gonna go to businesses I don't like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.

I literally did not even know this movie was in theaters yet.
