The Octonaut

Yeah I agree, it seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?

Yeah I agree, it feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.

The Speed Camera Ahead is everywhere where live. Why is it strange?

I can smell it. I can smell now the difference between Nintendo booklets and Sega booklets and PC booklets (Christ, trying to type in the Age of Empires 2 cd key).

I have 1000 games on Steam, and I know a lot of them come with some sort of PDF, and I’m not saying things aren’t better, but I can miss that one aspect of the first half hour of experiencing a new game being reading, touching, smelling its lore and artwork.

Oh I’m sure it’s not wasted work. But any content delivered now, for free, is in direct competition with buying a whole new game, probably for >=$70. I guess they’re very confident in the new game modes or something.

I’m surprised to see this update- I thought MS were making a “new” Flight Simulator for this year. I’m aware that content creation and game creation are usually quite separate but odd that they’d be release stuff to “keep” you on the “old”/current FS iteration.

What do you do with all the time you save making titles useless?

tourists

Must be really strange to have all those tourists come to your mountain top.

It’s absolutely normalised. Imagine saying this in any other circumstance playing a game with a stranger.

That this is mild for gaming doesn’t mean it isn’t toxic as fuck.

Seasonality specifically refers to periodic signals over the course of a year. Any other interval means it’s not seasonality. You can read that yourself in the definition you quoted.

Haha sex crimes

SimCity4 Deluxe modded to a state of fragile beauty

There are ones that are tiny, but those are basically facial wipes. The actual towels are hand-sizes

And like she told you, if you’re the only one having fun you don’t actually need to involve anyone else

Using a (half?) different “good thing, bad thing” meme template doesn’t make this a new meme

This is not true? Lots of urban areas can sprawl, not least because of car centric planning (big car parks between islands of actual land use; roads built to ease the traffic of roads; urban ‘islands’ of tall and dense occupation connected by road with slivers of green in-between that don’t serve to actually offer a natural environment. Kuala Lumpur features all of these, for example) but also as economic centres decline and become disused and new developments in other areas spread.

I’m almost certainly older than you, but I’m still interested to hear how deliberately answering Captchas incorrectly saves time over answering them correctly.

The 20 years thing was my bafflement as to why people felt the need to explain what Captchas are. Not a justification for their existence. When I ask “why” I think I’m pretty clearly not asking to have how Captchas work explained to me.

Putting that aside, can you explain to me how asking you to identify a traffic light is “at the expense of literally everyone”?

Someone was saying “they’ll train smart cars! And sell it to us as a subscription!” which I think is the same route you’re going down. But… how is that at the expense of everyone? And would not training smart cars benefit anyone? Is someone else going to do it? Is there a FOSS smart car I can contribue to? And is that FOSS going to prevent bad actors from training it to misbehave?

You’re not doing work for free. That’s a really weird way to look at it. You’re doing it to gain access to a service, an entirely optional one. It’s somewhat believable when people say oh, yes I have a car but I have to have a car, I’d like not to. But nobody is required to use GMail to live.

And yes, feel free to be an AI pessimist. You could quite well be right. It seems bizarre to me however to make an effort to sabotage this one specific AI training (which might stop cars from running us down) so that you can log into something which will also be used to train AI (to sell you shit). And then posting your opinion about it here, where it will be used to train an AI.

Yes?

Sorry I’m not sure “why?” is a difficult question. People keep explaining that is happening as if this hasn’t been happening in various forms for 20 years.

If its “I don’t want to contribute to machine learning”, I’ve got exciting news for you about every post you are making on this site where every comment is publicly accessible and consumable.
