vastly expands the pool of potential victims
I’m not brave enough at the moment to say it isn’t some kind of crime, but creating such images (as opposed to spamming them everywhere, using them for blackmail, or whatever) doesn’t seem to be a crime that involves any victims.
Not sure if it’s from an alternate universe or from our own future, but somewhere there is a version of this article that’s like “Today, the market for Mastodon alternatives is a crowded one to say the least. There are numerous services for consumers to try, including the open-source based Misskey, smaller startups like Pleroma, plus the Elon Musk-based product formerly known as Twitter.”

13% may not sound like a lot, but it includes almost all of the 10% who weren’t complete idiots.
It is if you redefine AGI to mean the thing that's already here, although to get away with that it helps if at the same time you overestimate what LLMs are capable of doing.

You do have to figure though, that it’s only the most active users who will opt to pay $14/month
I'd say it's more likely to be the most wealthy users who will pay the $14, and it seems plausible that the most devoted facebook users might care less about avoiding the ads than people who are there only reluctantly. So maybe slightly closer to the middle of that 11% to 342% range.

I printed out the certificate it gave me for finishing the game and proudly hung it on my bedroom wall. I guess that makes me an officially certified hacker.
Yeah I've been back there a few times to check, and the reddit I knew is most certainly dead. Its corpse will stumble around for a while animated by venture capital necromancy, but it's not really a threat any more and will stop moving soon enough. Youtube still has much enshittification to go before it gets to that point.

You have given lemmy very little to go on here, so pick whichever answer you prefer.
Hypothesis 1: The culture of which you are a part has established gender roles which lead to its women typically being more emotionally open and empathic than the menfolk.
Hypothesis 2: For similar cultural reasons, women around you tend to favour a communications style that happens to be more compatible with the one you have developed for yourself, leading to easier mutual understanding.
Hypothesis 3: You have some hang-ups of your own about sex which are making you more receptive to female company than male.
Rather strange that they take the trouble to estimate what the equivalent of all this oil and gas would be in terms of coal, but don’t actually count coal itself. I guess there is a certain tendency if you live in a country where coal mining has been on the decline for decades to assume that the same is true in the rest of the world.
A good review but from what I remember of the game I would add that the “quick-time events” can be annoying. Do not play if you can’t handle scenes of gratuitous button mashing.
Only if you’re doing it on a virtual machine hosted on OS/2.
If all you want in a programming language is that it not frequently be the target of mean-spirited critical reviews, I recommend Befunge. It’s a bit old and I don’t think anyone has updated it to be powerful enough for modern enterprise-level work, but there exists a non-zero chance that it might be suitable for one of your toy projects.
They took Dark Souls off the market when its remaster came along. Microsoft is not above doing the same. If nothing else, you’ll need a copy of the original Oblivion in order to play Skyblivion when it comes out. Of course I’m sure you’ll be able to get it somewhere. Really I just wanted to play it again with the Shivering Isles expansion.
Just a rumour that was going around, I don’t think it’s too likely.
When I played it the answer was to run “SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe” instead of whatever stupid launcher it tries to load by default.
