November surprise
  • Well, I'm not really sure Pyroclastic Ash and Debris would hit the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the election, since most of the states outside of its campaign range would likely not vote for it. This would push the vote for president to the House, where Pyroclastic Ash and Debris has no members of their party to vote for them, resulting in a Trump victory, with the Senate picking the VP, where I'd assume they'd agree on Pyroclastic Ash and Debris' running mate.

  • DOD "Anxious" Over Trusting Musk with Spy Satellites
  • Aw man, if only there was some sort of space administration that you could invest some of your trillions of dollars into so that your satellites could be launched by a group that you can monitor and trust.

  • Google tests showing full recipes right in search results
  • I don't know if I like it or if I hate it. On one hand they're literally stealing the content off those sites, and on the other hand the sites kind of deserve it for telling me their whole life story before I get to the recipe.

  • [Video] Is The Government Spying On Schizophrenics Enough?
  • I know someone who did a whole lot of meth and messed their brain up or something, and I've always found this video humorous because of how well it reflects some of the things they've said to me.

  • Nintendo is going after emulators now because new switch coming soon - but emulation already provided a better experience
  • Maybe the Nintendo Switch successor is going to have backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games, so during the early times after launch they're planning to lean heavily into the backwards compatibility aspect, meaning they need to make it less convenient to pirate their games. It would make sense to attack Nintendo Switch emulation if that was the case.

  • I don't share your opinion on this matter, so I don't know of one off the top of my head, and my quick search yielded no results.

    Normally I'd say "Be the change you want to see." and encourage you to create a community for it yourself. However, you should probably ask yourself first, whether a community dedicated to hating something is even worth having, and then ask yourself if it is worth moderating. I can't imagine you'd have any real great conversations when it's all going to just be "x sucks" you'd basically just end up with the same post over and over again.

  • Gotta love Proton for this yearly benefit!
  • Nah, that's just toxic corporate stuff.

    It's the same thing a lot of companies' subscriptions do where they give you something extra over time so that they can take it away if you ever decide to try testing out another service. Normally it is something small though, like something decorative or just something saying that you've been a member for a long time, so at least they're giving you something useful for them to take away later, or maybe that makes it worse, I dunno~

  • Is there a difference between drawing a random card, and mathematically generating a random card?
  • Well, a little bit of 'yes' and a little bit of 'no'.

    If it is possible over the course of the game for turn orders to be changed, or for a player to choose to draw a card, or cause another player to draw a card, then it matters in a way.

    If I can cause actions to make another player draw a card, then it is more meaningful if the deck is shuffled already, because the card that I caused the player to draw is the same as the card I would have drawn if I drawn a card instead. However, from the perspective of the user, there is no way for them to know the difference.

    I feel like it is better for the integrity of the game if the deck is shuffled for real, though. Because if ever a user finds out that it doesn't work how it is expected, then it cheapens the experience in a way. Kind of like how the old Mario Party games determined the outcome of dice rolls when the die appeared on screen instead of when you pressed the button to 'roll' them.

    Seems like AI isn't free anymore
  • There are a few inaccuracies in your statement, but It was clear the whole thing was about money from the start though, you shouldn't be surprised about this. If you were hoping for AI to be free to you, you should have only been supportive of software that you could run on your own hardware.

    Anyway, these companies are in the position of ISPs now, where they have customers, but they don't want to pay for the infrastructure to support the amount of customers that they have, since they can make the same amount of money without making their customers happy.

    None of that helps you... Sorry...

    Welcome to episode 1 of Black mirror reality TV series!

    Well, have fun with your pig, I guess. Haha.

  • Can you help me find a solution. Can I get a monitor on an arm or something?

    So, long story short, I have vision problems, and I need to work closely with my monitor. So I'd like to have a solution where I can grab my monitor and pull it close to my face for use, and push it back over the desk when I am done with it. I don't really know what what I'm looking for is called, or if anything like this even exists. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in the subject than I am can help me out here.

    While I am at it, I am hoping to replace my monitor as well. I would like it if the monitor had a harder material on the screen, rather than the fragile feeling plasticy stuff that computer monitors are normally made of, since my nose frequently bumps the screen, resulting in me needing to clean it often.

    Once I remove my current monitor, I will have two displayport ports and one HDMI open on my card.

    I am hoping to find a solution that costs less than three-thousand dollars. But with niche hardware like this, I understand that it may be more expensive.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading my post and considering helping me out!
