It works too well
The wild thing to me about anyone idolizing the character in American Psycho is that it's all but outright stated outright that the guy lives in wonderland and hallucinated all of his wild power fantasies except maybe being rich. He's outright called a dweeb by his lawyer at the end once he has a complete mental breakdown. It's like someone idolizing Nicholas Cage's character in Vampire's Kiss.

Anon doesn't like any web browsers
Idk how you use Firefox wrong but anon here is doing it. Got mine loaded with add-ons n shit never had an issue in years. Imagine actually using brave.
The problem is chromium dominance (edge and chrome mostly) as it makes other browsers vulnerable to the noncompetitive web standard changes that google likes.

This piqued my curiosity so I dug into it a bit on Wikipedia. Most worms are dumb as fuck, roundworms are about as dumb as they come with total neuron counts for a roundworm being comparable to a microscopic tartigrade (300 vs 200). Most of this is located in the head of the worm in a brain like structure though, so I'm betting the clones develop their brains independently with no information transfer. I doubt there's a ton of learning/memory forming going on at all though, based on how simple worms are, so it's probably functionally identical. I would be surprised if most worm species exhibit any kind of learned behaviors ever.

Mazda's $10 subscription for remote start sparks backlash after killing open source workaround via DMCA takedown
Reply in thread
The key fob remote start would be fine and for free. Or you could use local wifi instead of the open internet which is a security risk. This is anti consumer bullshit made to get a subscription where one is not required.

Veklar, a French social media, apparently aims to protect their users from the Fediverse (?!)
People probably should be more aware that what happens on here is mostly public and also why that's a better alternative to only giving data to private networks run by companies with trade secrets.
Giving data out to everyone prevents an outsized amount of leverage being given to single companies. Facebook doesn't have anywhere near as much kingmaking power if the same methods can be used by competitors or exposed and mitigated for outright.
Being open source, you also can know exactly what the fediverse is collecting and it's currently a fuck load less than the massive data stream companies like Facebook record.

You can't glide on your Palworld pets anymore, and we have Nintendo to thank for it
Would be cool if Nintendo just made games instead of being a patent troll that rereleases the same 10 games over and over again.
I don't see why anyone buys their shit except for nostalgia at this point.

Has someone started a website yet to specifically track all of the judge orders and Trump's (non)response to them? Would be good to put it all in one spot w/primary sources n whatnot

Thanks, I wish more people did their own tests and published them like this since marketing for electronics is loose at best

'The gold rush is over:' Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon devs say that big Game Pass and Epic exclusive deals have dried up for indie devs
Reply in thread
Because craftopia and palworld have a social aspect getting a big seed of players who only played it because it was free (for them) was I think a catalyst in making palworld blow up like it did. There are too many games out there for people to look through so it probably helps get word out effectively to sell out cheap for a big initial audience like gamepass when you're a small dev. I only knew of craftopia or palworld because of gamepass at least
The flip side is Microsoft is 100% giving the above as a sales pitch to devs why they should put their game on gamepass for peanuts (paid in exposure!). That's probably some of what drives the shittier deal devs get now
