Exactly. I’m there to lose myself in the crowd and to feel the music. Being right up near the amps makes me feel alive. Every bass drum beat feels like it’s kicking you in the chest, every time the pyros go off you feel the heat on your face, mosh pits open up spontaneously around you, it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had. If I just want to listen to the band I’ll stay home and put an album on, save myself a hundred bucks.

That perfectly describes me. I don’t touch Reddit, got off FB and Instagram years ago, never had Twitter, etc. Lemmy is the only thing I use now, I subscribe to a few dozen communities that get maybe 15 new posts a day combined. If I’m in the mood to waste time on here I’ll see the new posts and hide them as I go. When they run out I’m done for the day. I won’t act like it’s the right move for everyone, but for me personally cutting my social media (or similar) internet usage down to around half an hour a day max has made me a lot happier.

There are definitely times when it seems like he’s had a hit of something during commercial breaks. He’s often drunk on air (and drinks during the show) so it’s certainly possible.

Edit: I just listened, he’s drunk on air during this episode. And the headline is a quote from Steve Bannon, bit misleading.

I was in the Summer event and came third or so for Jarvonia overall. Like a dope I stopped using Discord right after that and haven’t seen anything from the game since. Looks awesome, can’t wait to get in.

Welcome to the club, Take Two has been on my shitlist since they tried to sue modders or whatever the hell that was back in like 2017. I barely even remember why I hate them any more, I only remember deciding to boycott.

Looks like Eurogamer’s a bit behind, it’s been a month since the negative Steam reviews started flowing in.

As someone whose preferred position to watch car racing would be lying on the road, I disagree. At least a normal race might have a crash or something, that was not interesting at all.

The marble racing on the other hand, absolutely.

“After” profits tumble? We haven’t even had a chance to buy FF16 or Rebirth yet, and if they’re like Remake there’ll still be a year to wait for it to get off Epic and onto Steam. Just sell us the damn game if you want money.

I heard (no idea if it’s true because I really don’t care enough to look into it) that he made a bland and inoffensive movie because comedy is too woke and you can’t say anything any more, so there’s no point trying to be funny. I’m not sure if that being true or a joke would be sadder for him.

Surely that spaghetti-topped pizza isn’t real, that’s got to be from one of those ragebait tiktoks or something right? That looks and sounds awful.

I recently got into making desserts. I end up with something I can be proud of, get to share sweets with my friends & family and satisfy my sweet tooth all at once. With $10 worth of ingredients and zero experience you can whip up a basic batch of fudge in less than 15 minutes and put pretty much anything else you want into there.

Ah that makes more sense. I thought it was doing that throughout the match which would be a nightmare.

I haven’t played Tekken since 3, but Eddy is one of the few characters I remember and he was unstoppable back then too. I just realised he certainly would have unconsciously been my inspiration for getting into Capoeira years later. Godspeed, Mr Gordo.

I watched the clip in the article, is that slow-mo and zooming part of the game by default? That’s unbearable, it’s worse than a Zack Snyder movie.

That’s been happening for ages. I’m sure if you check the profiles you’ll find other posts with all the same bots commenting. A lot of lazier ones wait exactly a year to repost, and it’s pretty obvious in subs for something like a live service game where they’ll be reposting complaints that are way out of date. One in the Monster Hunter sub reposted a trailer for Iceborne which had been out for 3 years by that point.

More screen space with the taskbar on the side. I only use taskbar icons so I don’t have (or want) programs stretching across the whole bottom of the screen, they just bunch up together in the top corner. Also 99% of the websites I’ve used in the past decade have had big spaces on both sides to allow for smaller resolutions, so losing that couple of blank centimetres means I gain a couple vertically that actually get used by the site.

Nice. I’ve never played DF but I’ve got a good thousand hours in Rimworld (rookie here obvs). I’m thinking when I get home from work it’s time to update the modlist and waste all of my free time for the next month.

The first security job I ever worked was for a rich girl’s 21st birthday party at her house, my main duty was making sure nobody went to the stables and bothered the racehorses. I heard one of the kids say that her dad owned 2 Toyotas & her mum owned a Subaru, and I thought maybe they’re not so different from me after all because my parents have the same cars. Turns out she was talking about owning the car dealerships.

Right, so it’s not like they’re being tricked into generating porn or anything. It’s not some option that they would have turned off if they’d known about it, they just don’t care what’s happening because they only want the reward. Again I’m not saying I agree with it or that Salad’s right to do it, but if they say that’s potentially what it can be used for (and they do because the opt-out is available) then the focus should be on the client companies using the tool for questionable purposes.

They said they did.

However, by default the software settings opt users into generating adult content. An option exists to “configure workload types manually” which enables users to uncheck the “Adult Content Workloads” option (via 404 media), however this is easily missed in the setup process, which I duly tested for myself to confirm.

Honestly, and I’m not saying I support what’s being done here, the way I see it if you’re tech savvy enough to be interested in using a program like this you should be looking through all of the options properly anyway. If users don’t care what they’re doing and are only interested in the rewards that’s kind of on them.

I just think the article is focused on the wrong company, Salad is selling a tool that is being potentially misused by users of their client’s service. I can certainly see why that can be a problem, but based on the information given in the article I don’t think it’s really theirs. If that’s ALL Salad’s used for then that’s a different story.

If I’m reading this right, it’s a program that users sign up for to donate their processing power (and can opt in or out of adult content), which is then used by client companies to generate their own users’ content? It even says that Salad can’t view or moderate the images, so what exactly are they doing wrong besides providing service to potentially questionable companies? It makes as much sense as blaming Nvidia or Microsoft, am I missing something?
