  • To an extent, yes. "Video streaming giant Netflix" would suffice.

    Jump

  • Three different articles I've seen about this and not ONE of them even ATTEMPTS to explain what Blackstone is.

    Yes, I could, and did, google it, but it's infuriating, on principle. It's a bsic reading comprehension concept: don't assume your reader knows outside context, when your audience is essentially random.

  • OpenAI Is Giving Exactly the Same Copy-Pasted Response Every Time Time ChatGPT Is Linked to a Mental Health Crisis

    Jump

  • Well, yeah. The people who host them for profit should be held liable.

  • If You Needed to Pass an Exam to Vote

    Jump

  • I mean.... I don't see the comic portraying the idea as good. More just using it as a vehicle to call most people dumb.

  • Scott Adams blames Obama for ruining his life

    Jump

  • It's what got me canceled.

    ...says guy who still makes a living publishing his opinions and artwork, worldwide.

  • The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise

    Jump

  • A) And yet, not long after, Andor was massively successful.

    B) Then stop making games exclusively based off of third party IPs.

  • Jimmy Kimmel Has a Blunt Message for CBS After Colbert Cancellation

    Jump

  • Seems like a jab at CBS prioritizing those kinds of shows over the largely-more-popular Late Show. Alternatively, maybe making a jab at those being the best that CBS has to offer.

  • Curl creator mulls nixing bug bounty awards to stop AI slop

    Jump

  • Add a submission fee that gets refunded as part of the bounty payout, or if the reviewer otherwise judges the submission as obviously legitimate.

    Donate all fee proceeds to charity, if you want to counter the any incentive to deny submissions for financial gain.

  • Can the polygraph test be made more accurate ? Has anyone made a polygraph machine or any kind of machine that can detect whether a person is lying or not ?

    Jump

  • In theory, that's what the control questions are for. You start with questions where the examiner knows the subject isn't lying, to establish a baseline, and lies are only determined by identifying deviations from that.

    Still a debunked technology, at the end of the day. There"s too many assumptions still baked into tbe premise, and too many inaccuracies in the tech.

  • YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list

    Jump
    • Always check the Subscriptions page first
    • Check Watch Later list, after that
    • scroll the Home page, after that

    Have never seen a link to a "Trending" page or a "Trending Now" list in any of those spots.

  • 'Anti-government militia' says it’s targeting Oklahoma weather radars

    Jump

  • Goddamnit, why can't we get a militia that does some PRODUCTIVE sabotage?

  • Codidact - Open-Source Stackoverflow alternative.

    Jump

  • I'm not really sure that being open source here means much of anything, but an SO alternative definitely sounds good. Thanks for the tip.

  • Looking for some help pushing back against this. Any keyboard warriors out there?

    Jump

  • Submitted. Thanks for the heads up.

  • BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler

    Jump

  • Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn't willing to cross.

    Not that anyone really believed Elon isn't calling all the shots here.

  • Musk doubles down on creating new party after poll says nearly half of Americans would support it: ‘Encouraging’

    Jump

  • Almost half of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to fresh polling.

    Horseshit. No way is Elon's popularity that high, after he so effectively alienated himself from both US parties. I'm guessing the poll just asked about supporting A third party, not Elon's third party.

  • 'Just in': Elon Musk officially launches new political party

    Jump

  • Give it some time.

  • What is the best way to start learning gamedev?

    Jump

  • Roughly the same as for any type of software: make shit.

    If you've already got experience with general programming, that helps a lot, you can probably just go straight into a super simple game. My go-to recommendation for programming in general is "make simple something that already exists". That gives you goals that are very clear, and reasonably achievable, so you can start getting some of that satisfaction feedback quickly. For a game, I'd say do something like Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleship, Solitaire... something that isn't gonna require a whole lot of art, just to get going, and isn't gonna take weeks to get a working prototype.

    Godot definitely sounds like a good bet to get going. Even if you end up moving to another engine for projects in the future, that doesn't invalidate your time spent on this one.

  • Considering switching from Windows 11 and I have some questions

    Jump

  • Lots of folks mentioning VSCode as the alternate to VS, but it is very much not that. VS is an IDE, VSCode is a text editor that just has a big plugin community. Do not expect a low learning curve. The VS alternative that's an actual IDE, and does have a low learning curve, is JetBrains Rider. Unfortunately it is neither F nor OSS.

  • The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing

  • Why not? If they can cut costs by reducing specs that don't matter to their target audience, that just seems like sound engineering.
