The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

  • A good policy to have

    Jump

  • Yep! Thankfully! No idea why this post turned into a spam magnet.

    Notably, the comments being removed from here did not remove them from my notifications... I can not unsee any of that

  • GOG basically acknowledges piracy in a meme

    Jump

  • GOG is also a filter too. Everything in the whole store you know is DRM free when with other stores you have to check each game individually.

    Steam is also a form of DRM in most cases though either way.

  • I never expected to see a post from someone I actually know screenshotted and posted. Weird experience.

  • Junior Dev VS Machine Learning

    Jump

  • Oh lol sorry. Tone is very hard to understand via text online.

  • Junior Dev VS Machine Learning

    Jump

  • I didn't say it was a GOOD joke. I was just explaining what the joke was.

  • Junior Dev VS Machine Learning

    Jump

  • It's saying that instead of spending all the resources needed to gather all of the training data for the LLM, just give a junior dev some coffee as the input instead.

    The direct comparison is input and output. Coffee/training data is the input and the code is the output.

  • STOP DOING ASYNC

    Jump

  • I wouldn't say you HAVE to know the original but it's pretty common in memes for text to be replaced and the person doing the replacing to not know the original font.

  • I PROMISE the rest will come eventually

  • Oh I'm definitely not saying anything negative about XKCD. I LOVE those comics. My point is simply that even stick figures can make good comics.

    It's fine if you don't like the art as art tends to be subjective. I just don't think her art is any lower than any other average web/newspaper comic.

  • This would work on me

    Jump

  • Why? Because I'm smoking?

  • The art being flat as a way of saying it's low effort is an argument I genuinely don't understand. Comics are all low effort art wise... That's part of the whole thing.

    Comics historically have been the lowest quality you can get away with since they have to be put out every day for the newspaper. I know XKCD does more than 1 thing but the art style is literally stick figures and they're one of the most popular web comics.

    You may not like the art but I would call it a mediocre art style more than a low effort one.

    Everything else I fully agree with. She gets the (unfortunately) normal amount of hate a woman gets online for being a woman. Which is why I made sure to do italics for it when I said lot. She tends to get significantly more support than hate in pretty much everything she does either way.

  • Pizzacake is a popular comic artist over on Reddit. She gained popularity mostly because she is extremely active in the comments of all of her posts. She is constantly chatting and attempting to make friends.

    As for why she is disliked, there's a few reasons.

    The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn't actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.

    Another is that she won't stop talking about how people who don't like her are sexist. She's made multiple comics about how her critics don't read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.

    Her jokes also tend to be the easiest possible punchline for every joke. this has a kinda weird double effect because it means that her comics are extremely applicable to most people because they are generic enough that you can fit most of them into most situations. On the flip side, if you don't like one the comics... You probably won't like any of them... They're all similar enough to be mostly indistinguishable other than the topic itself. along that same train of thought, if you like one... You'll probably like them all.

    As for my own opinion, I don't really care one way or the other. She's fine. I've heard accusations of her paying for likes on Reddit for promoting her own comics and so on but honestly I haven't seen any proof myself so I can't confirm or deny any of those.

  • True...

  • X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad

    Jump

  • I agree but in a way where I absolutely hate that he did this. Mr Beast is one of the worst things to happen to YouTube.

  • I'd argue that you have to be horrible already to have loads of money. Any reasonably good person would be using their excess wealth for a good cause rather than building ego rockets.

  • The Spy Pixel problem

    Jump

  • I meant specifically the shortened version FUD which became popular because of Bitcoin and Twitters limited letter count. Talking about fear uncertainty and doubt all together is definitely not a new idea.

  • The Spy Pixel problem

    Jump

  • This is unrelated to the post itself but I really hope Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole don't start using terms like FUD that originated with Crypto. Crypto went exceptionally badly and was wrought with scams and we should be doing as much as possible to distance ourself from that.

    Edit: I'll take my losses here. The term is much older than it's recent use in popular culture despite my own lack of experience hearing it prior. I do however stand by wanting to distance from the cryptocurrency crowd as much as possible.
