  • ‘Longtime’ Hertz customer says he’s ‘done’ after AI scanner flagged water reflection as actual damage: ‘Unchallengable, automated accusation’

    Jump

  • Could even just be their policy to try that all the time (or some random % of the time) and just back down any time a customer pushes back. Which is fucked up, but they might have never actually fought you on it because it was just meant to get free money from those who wouldn't push back and just pay it.

  • Microwave it for about 15 seconds when you're done doing the dishes (after you've wrung it out) and it will take longer before it gets stinky.

  • Also if you want to avoid plastic, get rid of the Teflon non-stick pans. Once you use stainless steel wool to clean, there isn't much of a downside to using stainless steel pots and pans anyways.

    There's cooking tricks to get the stuck on stuff off while you're cooking, too, though I forget what it's called.

    Edit: a comment further down had it: deglaze.

  • Or just pick them up without tapping their shells first. I read somewhere that that is a good way to kill them.

  • Though not all games were playable, or at least not on the small TV I was playing on. The resolution was low enough and text small enough that I couldn't read what was going on in some RPG I was playing, which resulted in me buying my first high def panel.

  • Wow, old memory unlocked, we had that exact tv (or maybe another model that looked very similar). It was the good TV for a long time but never made it to be the less good TV in the basement because, well look at it, it's a tube TV built into a fucking cabinet, just throw it out.

  • Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there

  • That second part is kinda annoying though. It doesn't know the difference between a view because of curiosity and one because of actual interest.

    It's what ruined the YouTube suggestions for me. I liked being able to do completely unrelated and random dives. Now it's just a collection of videos related to previous ones I've watched, even when I'm not logged in and have viewing history turned off. If I want to watch another chess video, I know how to use the search function. That's how I found them the first time.

    Though steam does also have a "stop showing me games like this" where it gives options about what you mean by "this".

  • No, no, they don't ignore them. They train with them so that chat gpt is fully capable of acting like it doesn't want AI models to train on its output, if you ask it to.

  • GOP Sen. refuses to admit Bush, not Obama, was president during Epstein’s plea deal

    Jump

  • Though it was one of the least responsible ways to save it: handing a blank check to the ones that made the bad gambles in the first place. They didn't even have anyone go and look at what was being done with it. It might have been one of the biggest wealth transfers in history. Plus it set a precedent that the government will step in to limit risk, which encourages more of this shit.

    Though at least they didn't do the same to bail out the shortsellers that were getting squeezed for GME and those other meme stocks a few years back (which could have also broken the economy). There was fuckery, but it wasn't "the taxpayers will pay your bills when you lose big while you proportionally pay less than most of them when you do win".

  • GOP Sen. refuses to admit Bush, not Obama, was president during Epstein’s plea deal

    Jump

  • Though Obama did team up with Bush to ensure the banks that caused it were bailed out quickly. This happened sometime around nov or dec 2008, after Obama had been elected but before he was sworn in.

    And it was changes made during the Clinton presidency that allowed so many high risk mortgages to exist in the first place.

    Not sure if the approval to bundle them together and call them lower risk was a Bush era thing or came from before that.

    But even if the timing of the recession had started in 2009, it would have been something Obama inherited from Bush and Clinton. He only controlled his response to it (which wasn't great, as that money was used to allow banks to pay bonuses and buy up foreclosed properties while people laid off for no fault of their own lost their homes).

  • Though I'd bet that any that tried arguing against the "sacred privilegness" had some sort of severe physical punishment, perhaps against them directly or perhaps against the people of the region they were from.

  • Whoever came up with this is a genius

    Jump

  • Yeah, this has been my thought ever since the first time I saw javascript that disabled right click. There were workarounds, but I thought the browser shouldn't even try to cooperate with something like that.

    These days, it's sites that disable scrolling. Sure, I can fuck with the css to enable it again, but it should be a menu option or just not something that can be disabled in css or via js.

    Same for all of the other metrics that browsers send in the headers. Even though it's nice to see stats on OS use and such, why does a server need to know which one I'm using? Even for screen resolution, while you could say that it affects how the page should be rendered, I'd prefer a standardized bug reporting mechanism for letting webmasters know when their page is broken for a certain resolution and otherwise letting the browser handle the rendering. And if it means the death of sites that cover their page in images to make a fancy layout, tbh good riddance.

  • there's no escape! brew another cup!

  • To answer that, we'll need to do a deep dive into foundation technology (to determine if it is lacking and needs some improvements) (because we don't want our wheelshed to sink).

  • Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?

  • I believe all that "I worked at blizzard" and "my dad worked at blizzard" turned out to be lies. Even his claims about being a current game dev were based on some vaporware looking shit.

  • Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette

    Jump

  • The tech community came up with a technical solution to the ad problem. If the solution you're looking for isn't technical, why is your focus on the tech community?

    Anyone can learn this shit. Use any search engine, type "how to block internet ads", and you'll see results with "firefox" and "ublock origin", that can then be put into "how to get" follow up searches.

    The current state of ads is being accepted by those who don't block them. Everyone who does block them (or refuses to visit ad cancer sites) has cut off that source of revenue, but those who just choose to accept the default option enable them by not just seeing the ads but even sometimes clicking them and buying shit.

  • Ad blockers are the fight. Those users who can't be bothered to learn a bit about the devices they spend so much time on aren't owed anything.

    What does "fighting the good fight" even look like to you in this context, anyways?

  • Yeah, but do phazers have a "pleasure" setting?
