Man, people here really overreact to artists paying money to promote their stuff.

Despite the technicality, nobody refers to using a credit card and immediately paying it off as ‘going into debt’ and if you use it that way people aren’t going to understand what you’re meaning.

The credit system is screwy, but if you can’t see the difference between social score and a financial score, that’s on you.

Credit ratings are done internationally between countries, and most countries have some sort of internal credit scoring system. It’s hardly US specific, aside from our specific implementation.

I get why lemmy loves jellyfin…but its odd to me that plex is so often preferred over emby. I much prefer the latter for several reasons…but actually working offline out of the box is one of the top.

You’re misunderstanding how credit cards are very often used.

Just because you pay with a credit card doesn’t mean you are ‘going into debt’. I pay my credit card off every month. I never accrue interest. But it’s 1. Beneficial to my credit score to use it some and 2. I get cash back on some types of items, so it’s just beneficial to use my card.

I’m still on an S10. Battery life sucks and the screen has been cracked for years, but she still works just fine. No motivation at all to spend $1k on an ‘upgrade’

My last girl was that way. She wouldn’t do the pill pockets, had to use a piller, but she was remarkably patient with me.

You know volatile just means it readily evaporates, right?

Alcohol is a volatile organic compound.

Nothing about the term ‘volatile organic compound’ means dangerous. You need more information.

Pill pockets are going to be plan A for the vast majority of people.

They dont work for many, I’d wager most, cats.

I’m not using containers at the moment, can you link me to more info on how to set that up? Specifically asking for the VPN / router bit. Think I can figure out the basics of containers.

Who buys motorcycles with training wheels?

This could come only from someone who hasn’t played around with any AI

I’m not seeing how anything in the game could be considered predatory in the slightest…super confused on this.

It’s gonna be significant.

Every extra bit of weight is one less bit of freight.

Also gonna be a lot more annoying when a shipper punches a hole in the side with a forklift.

Is that supposed to be impressive? They are selling the game and allowing purchasers to play. If course there’s gonna be people playing.

Logic errors are bugs.

That’s called a bug - aka what it’s called when a program behaves unexpectedly and against design intentions.

That’s not going rogue, that’s doing what it was programmed to do.

By your standards you’d also have to consider WW2 acoustic homing torpedos as rogue AI because they might home in on the ship that fired them.

Edit:

A followup thought: the only real question is whether they can realistically test and refine these systems enough to trust them to carry out attacks autonomously without serious errors.vIm gonna guess no, but they’ll use them anyway.

No. Such a thing would only be a good idea if you want the enemy to be able to turn your shit off when they please.

You’re thinking of ‘AI’, as something intelligent that can go rogue. Current and near future that’s just sci fi.

Is this just the Texas variant, or every one?

I’d the outer boxes weren’t damaged then it’s a packing issue.

I’m with you. Barely notice the changes in graphics, just the increasing of my gpu fan speeds over the years.

I’m more interested in games that graphics that look good enough, but do more interesting things with the extra horsepower we have these days.
