NattyNatty2x4,

We’re there elections in Poland recently? What were the results?

NattyNatty2x4,

Thank you

NattyNatty2x4,

Yes yes, encouraging EEE is totally a win-win…

NattyNatty2x4,

Absolutely not, federating with Threads is the first step in the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish process that businesses have used in the past to kill things like the fediverse. This is a win for businesses that want to see the fediverse dead and buried

NattyNatty2x4,

Hey now that’s not all they are. A concerning number of them also don’t like statutory rape laws

NattyNatty2x4,

Lol please, no way Musk would accept a recall unless it was severe enough to be forced on him

NattyNatty2x4,

he’s convinced that white hetero men are the most repressed “minority” right now,

By his own logic, wouldn’t that mean he should think the world would be a better place if white hetero men like himself didn’t exist?

NattyNatty2x4,

I used to play League a lot and yea there’s a fire hose of info you gotta learn at the beginning, especially as they continue to add new champs.

I’d say:

  1. watch some kind of 'getting started video on YouTube, and search for the categories that different champs are in (e.g. support, ad carry, ap, bruiser, jungle, etc). Some of the categories overlap, because some are how the champ plays and some are their job in normal games. Google/YouTube explanations about this too.
  2. If you can get those things mapped out in your head, it’ll give you and idea for what kind of champ each is going to play as and against (i.e. you’ll know if the person you run into is gonna be tanky and hard to kill, a glass cannon, etc).
  3. Probably just stick to playing bruisers and other tanky champs for now so you don’t die right away, and slowly learn as you go.

Good luck lol

NattyNatty2x4,

We got any guesses what his go-to cocktail is?

NattyNatty2x4,

That you think musk’s character flaws are comparable to the average person’s says more about you than it does him

The man’s good at generating hype for his companies, I’ll give you that. His blatant disregard for his employees’ wellbeing, retweeting of antisemitic lies, manchild personality, and implicit support of far right ideology in general goes far beyond the average person’s character flaws, however

NattyNatty2x4,

More likely it’s homophobes

NattyNatty2x4,

Minor fyi but it’s spelled bougie

NattyNatty2x4,

I’ve heard so much conflicting shit over this event that I have no idea what to believe

NattyNatty2x4,

I’m pretty sure that consumer preference is for the monthly fee, else so many companies wouldn’t have moved to no setup fee and amortizing the costs over a period of time.

It’s more that companies have figured out that monthly/subscription fees make them more money than lump sum, even when the product is identical. It’s why we’ve seen things like Microsoft Office 365 replace their previous single-purchase model

NattyNatty2x4,

Musk still has legions of fan boys; I’m not terribly surprised the eternally optimistic futurism fan boys have found another company-face to worship

NattyNatty2x4,

I could be wrong but I don’t think there’s any evidence that the fossil fuel industry worked to suppress storage research/funding. Pretty much every IT industry has a huge interest in improving battery tech and energy storage in general, it’s just that we’ve already hit all the low hanging fruit from a chemistry standpoint

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

NattyNatty2x4,

I never understood this argument. Apple lost its fight to make the environment worse for the customer, so you’re gonna reward them?

NattyNatty2x4,

If they can manage it, it’s safe to assume they will implement those issues

NattyNatty2x4,

No but strongman rhetoric makes people feel safer when their lives become increasingly perilous and uncertain, so we’re likely going to see it more often. It’s unfortunate but it’s kind of like a positive feedback loop of assholes making things worse for the people, which makes the people more desperate and open to the rhetoric that led to their worsening state.

NattyNatty2x4,

Momentum is hard to change

NattyNatty2x4,

I mean it literally does. It’s the same reason Twitter hasn’t completely imploded yet, despite Musk doing his best to turn it into a cesspit. People stay on it because it has lots of people and their niche subs, which makes it harder for people to leave and coalesce in new areas and recreate niche subs, which feeds into the cycle

YouTube once again ahead of uBO on Firefox; fiddling with the extension settings not working this time and DDG search is useless ... anyone got ideas?

Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my...

NattyNatty2x4,

Lol

NattyNatty2x4,

Apple has put a lot of effort into (successfully) creating a customer-base that thinks overpriced goods and different colored texts make them in a special club, I’m not surprised that an exec thought this excuse would fly

NattyNatty2x4,

Yea sorry but I disagree with the vast majority of things you said. Consistent, coherent, and well thought out experiences are pretty par for the course at this point, regardless of what flagship phone company you’re buying from. The UX is great for people who grow up with the UX, just like android UX is great for people who grow up with it. Android users who switch to Apple generally think Apple’s UX is dogshit, and vice versa. The UX argument is trash and the reality of it is that people just think whatever UX they’re used to is the more intuitive one. Support is pretty much the same in my experience between the two, and I have an android personal phone and an apple work phone. The major difference is the image that Apple support airs is better. The vast majority of popular Android applications are just as stable and usable as Apple apps, and the ones that aren’t are often niche enough that similar apps aren’t even on the apple appstore. So it’s a question of basically the same service for most apps, and then either no service or degraded service for lesser apps.

The one thing they have over android is the security argument, which is fair to an extent, but not this bulwark that a lot of people like to pretend it is. The Fappening, for example, still got plenty of explicit images from Apple phones.

All in all, apple is an advertising company first, and a tech company second, with admittedly improved security, but also admittedly security that isn’t good enough to justify the price hike.

NattyNatty2x4,

No one can say he isn’t talented lol

NattyNatty2x4,

Apple fans when Apple finally gets slapped for being the cunt it is:

NattyNatty2x4,

That’s because reducing the bot problem isn’t actually what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to patch the gaping hole in revenue that advertisers left in their exodus

NattyNatty2x4,

Sure, but bots aren’t why advertisers pulled out of Twitter, and replacing the revenue that advertisers used to provide is the main motivator behind this change. Any other justification or claim by Musk is just his typical PR bullshit that people still seem to lap up like it’s the word of god

NattyNatty2x4,

Twitter made 4.5 billion in revenue, not profit. They likely weren’t making profit yet, but either way we’re still not privy to the company’s exact profit before or after Musk’s takeover, and therefore aren’t privy to how much this charge would affect their margins.

Personally I think it’s yet another attempt to intentionally dismantle the company.

If Musk wanted to dismantle Twitter he’d just shut it down. He owns the thing, he doesn’t need a secret plan to fuck it up he can just do it. He’s just flailing around trying to patch the holes in his $44 billion fuck up and leaning into his alt-right image of it

NattyNatty2x4,

Stupid shit like that in ToSes usually get thrown out in court

NattyNatty2x4,

Around 3/4 of US adults are either overweight or obese; avoiding giving into the urge to eat processed foods is a problem all on its own

NattyNatty2x4,

Weebs will take any chance they can get to name something with a japanese or other asian language’s word, true (isekai/portal fantasy, anyone?), but in this particular case “umami” became popularized because it was a japanese scientist that confirmed it was an actual basic flavor. Origin of research and not weeb culture is what put umami on the english map.

NattyNatty2x4,

It confirms what pretty much everyone already assumed would happen, but it’s one of those things that should be tested just in case. Plenty of times tests have been performed and unexpected results appeared, leading to advancements in science. So if (on the very off chance) it didn’t interact with gravity as expected, that might have led to improvements in our understanding of general relativity and/or quantum mechanics, since gravity is one of the big problems we have in trying to marry the two theories

NattyNatty2x4,

Self reporting is also notoriously unreliable

Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.

"They are claiming they are going to put a safe device on the market, and that's why you should invest," Ryan Merkley at the Physicians Committee, told Wired. "And we see his lie as a way to whitewash what happened in these exploratory studies."

Really heartbreaking reading what happened to the monkeys.

People quite rightly think of Elizabeth Holmes as a fraud for making false medical claims about what the Theranos machines could do. So why aren't Elon's claims at Neuralink being held to the same level of scrutiny?

X.com, SpaceX, now changing Twitter to X. Dude has an obsession

Because the only alternative to unregulated capitalism is authoritarianism, got it

Why are you still wearing a mask...wrong?

All the time I have people come in to work wearing a mask, which is fine normally, good for them, but they are wearing them on their chin, chin diaper style. Not covering up anything. Or at best just their mouth, sometimes. Nobody is making these people wear a mask anymore, so why are they doing it at all if they are just going...

NattyNatty2x4,

It’s a big deal because Republicans lied about the severity of covid and made it a big deal. Only reason

NattyNatty2x4,

Neutral good originally, but I find lawful evil to be faaaaarrr better. Tilting my head up or down for extended periods feels a lot better than turning left or right

NattyNatty2x4,

Christian nationalists will never be content unless they have complete domination

Facts don’t care about your feelings

NattyNatty2x4,

There’s no believing in that climate change is going to kill significantly more people as it ramps up in the second half of this century; it will regardless of what we believe. Your opinion is the only stupid thing here

Why Roman concrete is still stronger than RAAC (and other modern concretes) (www.chemistryworld.com)

The concrete dome of the Pantheon in Rome remains stable enough for visitors to walk beneath, and some Roman harbours have underwater concrete elements that have not been repaired for two millennia – even though they are in regions often shaken by earthquakes....

NattyNatty2x4,

Though it’s important to note that factors of safety are always incorporated into structural designs, in case higher loads/wear/etc than expected occur

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis apologize over letters of support for Danny Masterson (abcnews.go.com)

The three women were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson. All three women said they were initially hesitant to speak to law enforcement because they said church teachings discouraged reporting to police. The women eventually left the church....

NattyNatty2x4,

Why are you just assuming that this happened?

NattyNatty2x4,

Cube sats were sent to orbit for university projects long before reusable rockets became commercially available

NattyNatty2x4,

Buddy all of reddit is hundreds of millions of people each month. If even a small fraction of them build their own PCs, they’d have a massive impact on nVidia sales

NattyNatty2x4,

Do you know what a fraction of hundreds of millions means?

NattyNatty2x4,

I wasn’t able to find something outlining just the sales of the 4000 series cards, but the first graphic of this link at least has their total desktop GPU sales, which comes out to 30.34 million in 2022. Let’s put a fraction of hundreds of millions at 5% of 200 million to be generous to your argument. That’s 10 million. Then let’s say these people upgrade their GPUs once every 3 years, which is shorter than the average person, but the average person also isn’t buying top-of-the-line GPUs. So 3.33 million. 3.33/30.34 is 10.9% of sales.

So even when we’re looking at their total sales and not specifically just the current gen, assume 200 million reddit users a month when it’s closer to 300, and assume the people willing to shell out thousands of dollars for the best GPU aren’t doing so every single time a new generation comes out, we’re still at 11% of their sales.
