Honestly, it never got big enough for that to even matter. It just lost the content war to the PS2 Xbox and GameCube. Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure aren't exactly enough great exclusives to justify buying the non-Halo machine or the console built by the company that "won" the previous generation.
AI coding assistance is good for the same stuff you would have put through a tool assisted service previously anyway. Regex and other forms of complex pattern matching are way easier for a computer than a human. The only difference now is that you can just write out the problem plainly instead of in tiny chunks.
I recently had to write a script to parse an nginx log for unique entries with very specific criteria that could vary depending on other criteria, and then do some crap to manipulate that data and use portions of it for API calls to other more complicated shit. Figuring out how to properly parse that data manually would be mind numbing. AI does it instantly.
That's not to say that the entire concept as a marketing ploy isn't complete bullshit, but if it were just used for the crap it's good at, it would actually be a net benefit to society.
You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness
The self checkout line in a Walmart after an especially hot summer day.
So basically the author really hates KDE and loves the look of Windows 11. You're not gonna find much like-minded enthusiasm over here... At least not outside of lemmy.ml
Less than half, but let's be honest here. It's because she has more money than him : P
People still unironically use chrome?
Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That's really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be "unique", but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.
If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I'd put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that's constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.
Louis Rossmann getting a new piece of YouTube content again...
The Hell Pig looks like that picture of how an alien would envision a hippo based solely on its skeleton. It was probably just a really big normal looking pig thing.
I see this come up all the time, but I feel like it misses the mark in describing the average dumbass.
The people that propagate the mindset want to hurt women. The people that follow them just want to be part of an exclusive club. It's the same logic that religion uses. People like to feel included, and they like to know that there are others who aren't. They won't ever admit to the latter, but there's a reason they do this shit instead of being reasonable and joining a fucking club or going to hang out with friends.
The women protesting in that group don't wake up in the morning wondering how they can hurt other women. They wake up happy that they're part of the cool club and ready to fuck over anyone not in it with them.
It's a stupid distinction, but I feel like it has to be made... for whatever reason. They're still terrible people.
You could feasibly fit it into the actual lore and make it "balanced" in a sense. The party finds a relic with the power to rewind time by a few moments. Becomes inert for a few days/play sessions after use.
Then there is actually the potential for complete failure (the relic holder dies instantly before being able to activate it), but they still get a sense of safety that propels them into stupid dangerous stuff all the time.
Simple solution is to not pay Netflix and just pirate their content. They go out of their way to make the experience worse for paying customers on a regular basis. Sonarr+Jellyfin on an old computer with no video card and you've got a better Netflix where your content doesn't just magically disappear or fail to play on some devices.
As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.
It goes both ways. A man shouldn't trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.
This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn't be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that's still a huge market.
These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.
I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing...
Honestly, I'd say the slow mo frames might work better as the hit connects, rather than when the character lands. Slow as the kick happens with a slight screen shake puts emphasis on the power of the attack.
Edit: just realized we're responding to a bot anyway :/
It's already like $5k+ for an implant. 20k is an insane lowball here. Add another zero for at least a decade.
So it's entirely possible that this person does real work, but this image in particular is AI generated. I've created almost the exact same thing in Midjourney with generic "create a lightning wizard" prompts when I was trying to create an image for a D&D character. The little lantern-like object near his head, and the horn-shaped thing on his chest don't completely fit the image.
And then if you look at the deviantart page, check out the hands on the Infernal Conjurer...
It's still cool, but I distinctly remember that face. Unless this specific image was what trained my results, I'm just a bit skeptical.
EDIT: Published in 2012... this is literally what trained my AI results then. I take it all back
