This line of thinking is crazy to me cause I don't see what's so admirable about Sparta. They had this whole degenerate culture that was entirely dedicated to war and it only gave them a slight inconsistent military advantage. Also this advantage was made possible mostly by their excessive use of slave labor. They still got their asses handed out to them regularly...

He's a hard-left twitch streamer who does reactions on YouTube videos and current events. I find it boring as rain but he's one of the most popular streamers on twitch.

It's not entirely transparent though. It's a paper loss in terms of cash but they did have to give the stock. At their crazy valuations, even 1% is a big deal.

Oh yeah, makes sense that people who are into child abuse would idolize them. I stand corrected.

When did you realize you were out of touch?

I remember Damso's "lithopedion" album, and there were some other rappers with vocoder which I forgot. Even Booba was unknown territory to me

When did you realize you were out of touch?
For me it was about ten years ago, when i started working in a company with a lot of people 10 years younger than me. They all listened to new French rap, so i gave it a shot as i am a fan of the 90s stuff so i figured i'd like it. The truth is i couldn't understand any of it... not that i hated it, but it was just so alien to me. I didn't understand enough of it to even form an opinion.
I realized that i had missed not only that moment in music, but also all of its precursors, so i really had no point of reference to it. I guess the pop music i grew up with, even the stuff i hated, was always one or two generations away from some genre of music i could identify. But this was based on a whole chain of influences that was unknown to me. A great feeling tbh.

I remember when Harmontown existed, they invited Neumann over and most of the interview was just drunk Dan Harmon saying "ok so you wrote two of the best screenplays in history, what the fuck bro". (Second one was Starship Troopers obviously). On a podcast that was obsessed with dissecting storytelling, this must have been the most cited movie, along with die hard.
Personally my go to is Mad Max Fury Road, as a kind of filter similar to what you have going on. It's a movie you need to engage with on its own terms, otherwise it is completely meaningless and you will miss the whole entire point.
It seems a lot of people have a problem with clear and radical artistic choices, and will mistake them for defects. This kind of media "literacy" is utterly boring to me as they just train themselves to detect and detest any deviation from Hollywood norms.

Yes. A virus wouldn't pop a cmd, it has way better methods to gain privilege.

Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash
Reply in thread
It's typical of dev burnout, though. Communication starts becoming more impulsive and less constructive, especially in the face of conflicts of opinions.
I've seen it play a few times already. A toxic community will take a dev who's already struggling, troll them, screenshot their problematic responses, and use that in a campaign across relevant places such as github, reddit, lemmy... Maybe add a little light harassment on the side, as a treat. It's a fun activity ! The dev spirals, posts increasingly unhinged responses and often quits as a result.
The fact that the thread is titled "is lutris slop now" is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn't to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.

Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."
Oh great the campaign of harassment is continuing. Keep going guys, hopefully you can get another dev to quit a project, and I know none of the people commenting here have what it takes to fork and maintain it.
You wouldn't be doing anything different if you were getting paid by corporate interests to hurt the open source movement. Great job you can be proud of yourselves.

This is actually standard gdpr / data protection verbiage. It means the company cannot use your data for its own purposes, only to provide you services you agreed upon. Selling your data to a third party, or sending you marketing emails you didn't subscribe to, isn't "providing you with services or products" so it is explicitly forbidden.

Dude, we work for the same company and I could have typed that in, and maybe I did. I wanted your experience with it, that’s why I asked you.
To me it's like sending the "let me google that for you" link to answer a question. It's just bad form. I don't want your whole reasoning trace man, i just want to know what you understand of it and maybe you'll catch some detail i'm missing or whatever. It's simple, i won't read LLM output, my colleagues know it and i get shit for it but no i am not digesting this material for you. Give me a 3 bullet-point version in your own words, the point is not just in the data exchange it's also to make sure you are aware of the answer and we have a common truth.
Or failing that, just give me the fucking prompt and at least i'll know if you understand the question.

Trump Suggests He Can Use the Military on Bond Markets: ‘If We Have To Use That, We Will’

The largest chunks of US bonds are held by nations, so I think the subtext is that if any nation starts dumping bonds to hurt the US economy he may consider it a casus belli. Basically forcing them to hold the bag at gunpoint. This is a dream situation for a conman like him.
