You remove the thing that does the thing.

Barking is like talking, it uses some parts in the throat to make the noise the way you want.

Firefox + uBlock Origin on both desktop and phone = no ads for many years. Default settings on both, no extra work.

Oh no, they were off a year for something that happened 20 years ago!

For individuals there are things like police having qualified Immunity as individuals. So you can’t sue the police agency because of soverign immunity and the officer because of qualified immunity.

There are some limitations, but the bar is extremely high. Like you can sue an officer, but there has to be a massive mountain of evidence that their actions were not ‘doing their job’. There is no real chance of suing a SWAT team member for example, because they most likely have a warrant and expect violence to happen.

Government safety agencies shutting down businesses, newly formed potholes damaging cars, etc. are the common scenarios where the immunity makes some kind of sense because otherwise it would overwhelm the courts if every government action or lack of action could end up in court.

The bar is too high for a lot of those things though.

Oh great, in comes the aliasing!

Seriously, there are few games that don’t seem to have some weird aliasing when upscaled. Some only do it for really bright lights, some only do it when the background is out of focus, but there are only a couple of games where I didn’t notice upscaling was turned on.

Flickering edges is extremely distracting for me.

The first Alien movie was space truckers hauling cargo on decades long routes. That would absolutely be the type of ship that used extremely old and reliable tech for critical systems, like how modern aircraft and spacecraft use decades old computer components because it holds up better in those conditions and all the weird quirks are known and accounted for.

I foresee the 5800x3d still being solid for new titles well into the 2030s.

will slow down tho

Why do people do things like rock climbing and other activities that have a high risk of injury or death when mistakes are made without being paid? Some people find dangerous stuff to be more enjoyable than less dangerous stuff.

Most dangerous jobs under capitalism are NOT well paid. People will do dangerous jobs for many reasons, but pay is rarely one of them.

Display name in settings to customize, you can use just about any characters and I think even emojies.

That is exactly what I was thinking of.

We had an electric stove, but the water and central heating were gas. That way we still had heat if the power went out so the pipes wouldn’t freeze and we could wash things. If the power went out more frequently we might have gone with a gas stove too.

I could see requiring specific ventilation requirements to install gas stoves to reduce the impact, or even ban within city limits, but a complete ban would negatively impact rural residences where electricity is not as accessible and reliable for power.

You can’t just come in with the hard R-word!

Making good use of their time left.

It was just a yellow fucking sticker, not even a ban.

I like sex.

I don’t like companies forcing sex on me so they can collect data to sell ads.

When the discussions about AI are about the latter, I’m just going to say I don’t like it without needing to clarify.

So, what is it intended for then?

I know the real answer is sucking up data, but what is the supposed benefit for users?

That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

If I like it, up vote.

If I am ambivalent but like that they are contributing in a constructive or humorous way that is a net positive, up vote even if I don’t care for it or agree with it.

If it has misinformation, racism/sexism/etc., is over the top hostile without justification, or is otherwise a net negative to discussion then down vote.

If I’m not sure if it is being sarcastic I tend to not vote. Poe’s Law is like Brannigan’s law, hard and fast.
