@Dorizzdt I just recently installed Unhook, which redirect to my Subscriptions page instead of the homepage, and because I don't follow that kind of channel I don't see those idiotic faces anymore. And then you have the "Don't recommend this channel anymore" button. Works well.

i fucking hate youtube thumbnails ....everytime i see these style of thumbnails. I automatically know its going to be some echo chamber shit video.

@stjohnbaptiste Ahah, the "Similar to games you've played" section always cracks me up. I think they only use tags for that.

Steam telling me I'll probably like it a lot. (It looks really good, love the set-up too of an SF puzzle game.)

@johnny5media @Polymarket That's the only required emoji on all social media.🤣

@Polymarket Let's get this one going as well 🤣

BREAKING: 𝕏 rolling out dislike button over the next 30 days.

I don't think age has any influence here. Finding a good "why" and sticking to it is more important. Using a proper method too, like, not Duolingo. Read about Stephen Krashen and language acquisition instead. And as Seth Godin said, because it is hard it's worth pursuing. If it was easy everybody would do it. Chinese is a type 5 language, it requires 2000+h to learn and obviously you can't learn by reading it. Good luck. 🙂

How hard would it be to learn Mandarin in your forties? Is it too late?

@delaigrodela Great achievement!

That day has come, my dear friends. Now you will know the name of the game and the plot. From now on, I will show more of what I hid from you and write about what I was silent about. CHARGE.R store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/CH…

@pikuma @loftwah The world is already massively influenced by the Chinese. Learning Mandarin or Cantonese already provide value if you want to do business with them, or simply discover their culture differently than what you read in the media. Go there, talk to them.

@loftwah Hopefully, we'll be dead by then.

Because none of you posted this, I have to.

JRR Tolkien used genz brainrot slang over 70 years ago, that's how ahead he was

@cram_box Was not able to order it from Amazon Japan. They don't ship to Switzerland. 🫤

【写真集 出版のお知らせ📖】 この度、初めての写真集を出します。 夕暮れの柔らかい光からネオンへ、夜が深まって静かに朝が来るまで—— そんな大阪の1日を、写真集「Osaka Romantics」で一冊にまとめました。 見終わる頃には映画一本を観たかのような構成にしました。 大阪が自分にとってどんな場所だったのか。そして見る人がどんな物語を想像するのか。 それを素直に写真に託しました。 発売は3月12日頃予定ですが、今から予約できます。 (予約詳細はリプライへ▼)

@cram_box Oooh, love that! And where do you buy the music? Is it DRM free?

No Spotify since 2 years ago. This setup works. That’s it.

@FreyaHolmer That's smart!

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

Nvidia's new AI gen filter looks good at first glance, but then you start looking at the scene more closely...

When all your games will look like AI slop. 😂

@waim @mitchellh The problem is you cannot use the word "truthfully" and hope companies will self-regulate. Business doesn't work like this. That's why we have cookie banners. Companies could just add a small accept/refuse button but they try to manipulate and coerce people instead.

@mitchellh This will end up being like the cookie popup. In the future realistically no one ever gets to talk to a human. I would prefer, if I ask an AI, are you an AI, it just truthfully answer yes - and which company it works for - whether it’s voice or chat.

It's so insanely disrespectful for an AI agent to talk to real people without consent or at least disclosure. This is the type of stuff I'm hugely supportive of government regulation. The FCC must expand the definition of robocalling and TCPA-style regulation to online AI.

The only reason they are laying off is their products are disasters of usability because of poor management practices and terrible decisions at the executive level and now people are moving away as fast as possible to other tools that are simply better.

@Dorizzdt Totally agree, being at the top of the most hated software companies is not an achievement to be proud of. But certainly the returns were good for the investors, at least during a few years.

imho. he has been driving the company into the ground since he took over. I don't think Adobe has ever really hit its full potential since the 2007`ish days. its just be a slow death march of hate debt.

@NeroLXIV @ID_AA_Carmack This is complete non-sense. There are hundreds of repos that were gifted back by big corpos, and they regularly contribute to thousands of repositories. You just don't know them or choose to ignore them to suit your anti-big-money narrative.

@ID_AA_Carmack The problem is that we are not gifting it to the world but to large corporations that do not want to gift back..

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

@mandolinaes Slowly, we are reverting back to building a network of fans, connecting with them personally, instead of the current shotgun strategy. This is also in my opinion what AI will achieve. People disconnecting from a feed of fakes and reconnecting with the authors they trust.

@ericjeker It’s strange… there are more platforms than ever, yet it’s harder than ever for real work to breathe.

A lot of artists didn’t stop creating. They just stopped trying to be visible. There’s a point where you realize the energy required to stay “present” is bigger than the energy needed to make the work 😔 and something in you decides the work still matters more

@thdxr Making your life difficult using AWS...

it took us several days to get our new AWS accounts properly provisioned with the right capacity limits to deploy our stuff it's crazy how things have regressed here
