That’s exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

I thought it said “his shole had teeth” and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

Kind of reminds me of the left pad incident only much worse.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn’t on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I’m likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

This is what I’m going to have to do as well since my computer isn’t compatible with Win11. The only thing I’m worried about is gaming.

Out of curiosity, what do you use to transfer files between computers?

That is definitely way too invasive. Plugging something on to a Roku TV shouldn’t enable them to show you ads through that other device.

I was actually thinking about getting a Roku once too. Really dodged a bullet.

How is it getting better battery life? Are OLEDs more energy efficient or does it have a bigger battery?

It was awhile ago but I read that a lot of streaming services don’t make a profit and I can understand the logic. With ads, there is a direct link between a show and it’s profits. The more people watch a show, the more people see the ads, the more a company can charge for ads on that show. Without ads it becomes difficult. It doesn’t matter if 100 people watch or a million, the profits are the same.

I feel it’s inevitable that streaming services are going to go back to ads. It’s the better business model.

I had the same thought when the salesman tried to convince me to buy a smart washer and dryer. Why do I need to be able to control them with my smartphone? Someone would still need to be present to load/empty them so then they can also turn it on.

I really like that pachinko analogy. It gets the basic concept across without having to wade into technical descriptions.

I saw a comment on another post by a European explaining American politics to another European.

“Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis.”

I’ve never actually heard of most of that. I’ve never heard of semantic HTML and I don’t know what a dialog element is.

I think a part of the problem is there are a lot of people doing web development that never actually learned it. I’m a backend developer who occasionally has to do web development and I never learned web dev. All my training was with databases and serverside code and all my coworkers are the same.

How do you do that? I’ve tried and couldn’t get it to work.

I felt the same. I had never played anything like it before. It took me awhile to figure out that hitting an enemy with a weapon required more than just having the sword pass through the enemy and that there were simulated dice throws happening behind the scenes.

Figuring out character sheets for the first time was also an adventure.

I don’t have a story like this regarding Steam but the game was Morrowind. I picked it up from a $10 bargain bin at Best Buy having never heard of the game before and the whole open world character sheet thing blew my mind. Prior to that I used to play first person shooters, racing games, and sports games but after playing that I switched to mostly playing RPGs.

Where exactly am I supposed to go for programming questions if SO goes under? I don’t suppose there’s a Fediverse equivalent?

Cloudpunk was good but I wouldn’t classify it as fun. It’s one of those games that would have been better as a movie because it’s gameplay was average at best. I hear there’s a sequel coming out which I hope is better since I really liked the setting of the game.

On another note, I’ve never thought of giving away extra keys online before. I might have to do that with some of my keys.

Now we just need to plug that into another AI to provide the vocals.
