Dune 2 walked so that StarCraft could run.

Yeah, but how survivable is making indie games? Unless you make it big, you aren’t paying rent that way.

Like how the 2018-2021 Honda Civics shipped with non functioning AC because they used the wrong type of refrigerant? They’ve also trained dealerships to deny the warranty!

It’s been in the 90s all week - I risk heat stroke in my fucking car going to work!

Yeah, I played it as a teenager on emulation and was pretty mystified at why it was considered so much worse than the other things available on the system. Why would people love Adventure but hate this?

RuneScape regularly does holiday events. Theyve done it for Christmas and Halloween as far back as RS1 - like, the Christmas hats are the iconic RuneScape thing. People have paid obscene amounts of real money for them.

The Pride event was no different. You get fun little items for completing a silly little quest. It’s not even like mega “gay”, it’s just cute and inclusive.

The mod team is not happy about this either, and was responsive to me. Enough voices can change things.

If you haven’t play RuneScape - this has been a popular event for years. It’s always high quality fun. There have been stupid Fally protests and chuds but the events have always been really delightful.

That number of articles is still pretty impressive. I’d rather have fewer, high quality articles, than millions of terrible quality AI articles.

The great thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can add articles! It also wouldn’t be too difficult to “translate” regular Wikipedia articles to simple ones. You could even use AI tools to help - there are text leveler tools that will help you recognize which words lower level readers would struggle with and can help you make those changes. But this cannot be an automated process.

I’ve done graduate level course work on modifying text for “EMLs” - “emerging multilingual learners.” (“ELL” is still okay, but lots of folks in the field prefer EML because it is prioritizing the students “assets.”) I’ve made several assignments for students with reading difficulties. When I did experiment a bit with AI tools to help me with this process, I had to do a lot of fine tuning to get an acceptable product.

Tbh, you just convinced me right now that I should start adding more articles myself.

Yeah - tbh the name sucks. I hate recommending it to students, because it feels like I’m calling them dumb.

But yes 100%. Instead of doing dumb AI shit, they should be advertising what they already have.

Thats why I mentioned Simple Wikipedia.

This is far more readable that what an AI generated version of the article would make.

Those Americans with a 6th grade reading level or less are precisely the people who shouldn’t be reading AI summaries. They’ll lack the critical thinking and reading skills to catch on to garbage.

Simple Wikipedia already exists and is great.

The same could be said of to-do lists, right? But I still like having an app with a checklist, because my phone is always with me and a piece of paper is not.

When I did have periods (thank god for testosterone), I had a really difficult time keeping track of them and they were often very irregular. The app I used helped me pick up patterns and would warn me when I needed to be prepped. My dysphoria cope was pretending that they didn’t happen ever, so it was helpful to have that occasional “hey, pack some pads today” as a notification without constantly checking a calendar.

Likely Oklahoma too - current GOP platform wants to outlaw 5G.

It’s best to look out for their tactics rather than individuals. Nothing stops someone from making a new account once they get known to be a KF or /pol/ troll.

It’s great! If they ever pick me up for having the “wrong” maker on my drivers license, I’m sure that they’ll treat me with dignity and respect.

That jail has killed at least 7 people this year by the way.

The DOJ was investigating the OKCPD, but 47 nixed that. Can’t investigate or press charges when a cop beats the shit of an elder Asian man, ofc.

I miss this kind of conspiracy theory/crazy subculture. Innocent and fun.

Like Bigfoot isn’t real, but I would be happy if he was. Bigfoot still lets you be around the kinds of people who are far off the beaten path, but you don’t get the disgusting racism/sexism/harmful insanity that we’re getting with the current lot of crazies.

Hasn’t Elon said that he’s “retiring” like every month 47 has been in office?

Just bullshit to try to appease Tesla investors.

Yeah, he’s a really low effort bad faith troll that’s been basically just walking into conversations to sling shit everywhere for months. Not even worth interacting with.

This is why capitalists align with fascists.

Google, Meta, etc, are all taking the knee, because no regulation lets them slurp up our data. Target is shooting itself in the foot on DEI to appease stupid Mussolini, because a fascist autocrat doesn’t enforce labor protections.

Did John Romero make anyone his bitch with that one?
