PSA: Inkscape is good now!

How is your network handling telemetry shenanigans?

They get you in different ways. Maybe Dave the Diver hooks you with some fun farm and restaurant mechanics. Then you make a little garden in Valheim and that feels pretty good. You think maybe you’ll experiment with a bit of Stardew. Then next thing you know, BAM you’re mainlining Farming Simulator-- Ironically at first, and then not.

When they send over these time travelers, they’re not sending their best…

Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don’t work? Spray paint or Elmer’s glue or maple syrup aren’t effective? You can’t just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?

It’s just any time there’s that much excitement, it must be no good, you know?

I didn’t actually realize that he didn’t say “metric fuckton” until I saw your comment and went back to reread it.

Well yes it needs to be inaugurated first, which will not happen until January.

Kids today something something attention spans what with the social media grumble grumble back when I was that age, dammit.

I interpreted “it” in the post title as referring to Linux. Firefox is “just a browser,” but Linux is not.

Good to know you can just nope the PSN login. I haaaate games requiring accounts for single-player experiences, but if you can just say no, I don’t resent them asking as much.

It’s not ideal to need a launcher

So… I guess GoG is ideal then, because you don’t need a launcher for GoG games. You download the installers and boot up the game directly. I often get Steam to launch them instead, for the controller support. The GoG launcher is strictly optional.

I cast Pass Without Trace

Yep, you did it-- Mint is the right answer!

It’s “fairest,” right? So maybe the mirror just saw her doing stuff like meticulously cutting a cake into evenly-sized pieces instead of portioning out bigger ones for herself and her cronies. That’d be plausible for a 7 year old.

If you use iCloud mail (I don’t), they have an email relay service, too. They call them “email aliases.”

How did you explain how McDobalds knows when you’re broke or in a hurry?

Damn great username btw 👌

That’s immensely expensive though, and not guaranteed to work because much of that stuff is still research stage. You’re right that paring down the models to make them leaner and more specialized is the primary direction that current research is pursuing, but it’s far from certain at this point how to do it, how well it will work, and how small you can get them before they start to fall apart. Not something game studios are likely to gamble their budgets on, at least not yet.

We’re nowhere near the “just hire a guy to trim it down instead of hiring writers” stage, and it’s unclear yet whether or not that’s where we’ll end up. We could pull off “just hire a guy to fine-tune an existing foundation model,” but that doesn’t make them smaller.

She’s so fat that observers are really mostly seeing what she used to look like.
