  • Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms

  • currently free

    And that’s always worked out in the past, hasn’t it?

    Imagine putting your entire business in a position where one of Google’s half-assed AIs could decide tomorrow at zero notice to cut you off from your entire user base.

  • Holocaust museum LA retracts their recent statement saying "Never again can't only mean never again for Jews" to support the Israeli Holocaust of Palestinians

    Jump

  • What’s particularly suspect is how little coverage this story has got anywhere; I tried both Google and bing to fact check OP and the only sources for it are social media posts. Literally no actual journalistic source on the first page of search seems to have picked this up.

  • One of the ugliest aspects of the upvote/downvote system is the way that it so often becomes a form of bullying.

  • Ugh yeah and they had to interview the owner of Noah’s Arcade and he did an awful rap

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

  • So let’s force them to up their game. Don’t let them get away with half-assed lighting or shit acting just because it worked in 24fps.

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Yeah, also as I alluded to earlier if you shoot at 60fps you get a shorter max exposure time per frame, which can translate to needing more light, which in turn leads to the studio lighting soap opera feel. But that was more of a limitation 15 years ago than it is now.

  • Thing is, I suspect you’ve been conditioned to it, rather than it being inherently good.

  • There's 36-year-olds in the tech industry having difficulty finding work because they're perceived as too old.

    Meanwhile we've got a succession of Presidents who are well above retirement age and people act like that's how things should be.

  • I didn't think it was possible to sum up reddit with a single image, but...

  • I seem to be somehow shadowbanned in r/politics, and anyone can see from my history I'm lefty as fuck. They've gotten so arbitrary that they can't even do partisan subs properly any more.

    Or maybe r/politics isn't left-wing any more and have closed ranks around Democrat Neoliberals? Haven't stayed around for long enough to find out. Only ever visit now when I'm not paying attention and my finger slips.

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Yeah. Another one for me was Deadpool, because the texture of his outfit actually feels real on the 4K disc in a way that it doesn’t in HD.

    Whenever I see people point at math equations “proving” that it’s impossible to tell the difference from a comfortable viewing distance, I think of Deadpool’s contours.

    Can I identify the individual pixels in HD? Nope. Does it make a difference? Yes definitely.

  • I hate the wording of the headline, because it makes it sound like the consumers' fault that the industry isn't delivering on something they promised. It's like marketing a fusion-powered sex robot that's missing the power core, and turning around and saying "nobody wants fusion-powered sex robots".

    Side note, I'd like for people to stop insisting that 60fps looks "cheap", so that we can start getting good 60fps content. Heck, at this stage I'd be willing to compromise at 48fps if it gets more directors on board. We've got the camera sensor technology in 2025 for this to work in the same lighting that we used to need for 24fps, so that excuse has flown.

    Trump to rebrand Pentagon as Department of War

    Jump

  • As statements of intent go, it's pretty ominous. One thing you can say about Trump is if he hints he's going to do something horrible, he will do it.

    (If he says he'll do something good, like release the Epstein files, forget about it.)

    Massive racist up in arms because they’re 1000% up for racial profiling, but only for blacks. According to her, enough Latinos voted Trump that they should all collectively get a pass as a race.

    It’s a perfect storm of hatefulness and ignorance combined.

    The USA is no longer an appropriate place to host the UN headquarters.

    The phrase "purity test" was popularized by establishment Democrats only recently, as a thought-terminating cliché to shut down criticism of the party's drift towards the Right.
