Oooh, nice hiss!

Sex therapists only want one thing and it’s discussing fucking.

What are we jacking to, my goats??

More importantly, seed the shit out of it. Losing your subscription is small potatoes if you’re still consuming and talking about the media. Now if you can make it easier for other people to drop their subscription as well, thats the real win.

I had to dig through my phone to find these photos when i got home from work, but they were taken literally seconds apart with my phone on full optical + digital zoom. The detail on the second is absolutely absurd, while the first is what I typically see on my screen when I’ve tried to replicate since.

Im familiar with post processing.

To be clear, the assumption is that the algorithms the phone is using to determine you were trying to take a photo of the moon are “smart” enough to identify it as a photo of a night sky focused on the moon, rather than a light bulb. I’m not sure how you’d set up a light of the correct brightness at infinite focal length to test this though.

ETA: I’ve never seen this post processing happen so starkly with anything other than a photo of the moon, so it sticks out pretty hard. And I take a lot of photos at work of things that are tough to capture clearly.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if this has gotten more advanced in recent years. Identify a few key stars as reference, and then paint in a pretty Milky Way from pre-defined images, while pretending to collect a timelapse.

I played OG Doom for years with keyboard only. Up/Down arrow for forward/backwards, Left/Right to turn, and then holding Alt to strafe. RIght hand on the arrow keys and left hand controlling strafe/run/weapon selection.

I don’t honestly recall if mouselook was even an option back then, but I tried playing with those keyboard only controls recently and literally could not even. It’s kinda wild how hard it is to imagine anything other than WASD-mouse for a FPS these days.

The irony of MAGA coining the term “TDS”, as though they aren’t worshiping him like a rabid cult is too much. It’s always projection with them.

TDS is basically having the gall to take the things he says and does at face value.

I didn’t know KenM was on the Fediverse!

Last time my wife and I moved, we spent a ridiculous amount of money on large boxes and totes and stuff for packing. After that, I definitely feel a bit of pain breaking down a large sturdy box for the recycling bin, but it’s just not worth the storage space.

We do still keep boxes for high-dollar items that have special packaging like TVs and other electronics. Both in case we need to move them, and it generally bumps the resale price if you have original packaging.

I definitely parsed the headline wrong at first! But c’mon, even if you’ve never heard of the band, the second sentence of the article links to their webpage…

If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.

I can think of one.

I for one respect his ability to stick his neck out for his beliefs.

Yes, that’s what that word means!

Playing Devil’s Advocate - If the classification of “munitions” effectively provided all the legal protections and requirements that they wanted to apply to encryption software, it would have been a lot of wasted time and effort to create a new classification and then update all the other legal documents to include and refer to that new classification.

Like, I don’t even want to guess how many references to “munitions” exist in various laws and regulations that would have then needed to be reviewed, amended, debated in committees, and ultimately voted on.

This pretty petfectly illustrates the problem with using genAI for anything factual.

To someone who had no idea how a pressure regulator works, the illustration could actually be pretty convincing, since it’s presented in a coherent way and superficially looks like it knows what it is doing.

But do a little fact checking, and it’s wrong about nearly all of the important points. In fact its kind of impressive at just how thoroughly wrong it is.

Anyway, thank you, I’m going to save this image to whip out next time a coworker responds to a technical email with copy/paste from ChatGPT.

Yep, you’re right. I have never been inside a mosque before, so the stairs looked very odd out of context.
