  • UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole

  • I feel you, protests in my country are not as effective as french or spanish protests, and usually devolve into large picnics instead.

    Because you can't protest in an empty stomach. On the other hand, now we're too full to protest. Let's go home, Benfica is playing today.

  • Look, you are the county that came up with hooligan concept. Do try to apply it locally. I've seen the french act harsher for pettier reasons.

  • A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen

  • You're being pumped full of microplastics, the climate is being shot so you can make funny AI memes.

    But glad you're feeling fine. Keep at it.

  • Well, they are not, and they will keep trying for as long as it takes.

    So stop whining and let them know it's not fine.

    I've probably seen this shit more times than you have, but I'm still doing my part.

  • Which cartoon foods did you always want to try?

    Jump

  • Duff beer.

  • Men who feel like fully functional people, how did you get there?

    Jump

  • I'll let you in on a secret: you can act and be perceived as a fully functional man while being a child inside. I could give you some examples but I'm sure you can think of some.

    But it is also very important to not remove that from yourself or you'll turn into a boring old man.

  • Do you believe in reincarnation?

    Jump

  • No.

    Enjoy the ride.

  • Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says

    Jump

  • One factor they don't seem to consider is that they are competing for a finite resource: consumer attention.

    There has never been so much content to consume: not only games, movies, series, music, books, podcasts, and even old games.

    New games have to compete with and stand above all that content to justify the price.

    As others have said, purchase power is down, people subscribe to more services (net, mobile, streaming music and video), all that bites into the available budget to buy games.

    Bottom line: it's getting hard to justify spending that amount on a game you don't have time to play.

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • I agree, but I'll watch Edge of Tomorrow or Oblivion if they're on.

  • UK government suggests deleting files to save water

    Jump

  • The current crop of politicians (not just in the UK) is something else. They keep poking their nose at things that are not their concern and fail spectacularly at fixing things that are (health, housing, employment, education, infrastructures).

  • World's first 'thermodynamic computing chip' reaches tape out

    Jump

  • In the early days of computing, people experimented with different signaling frameworks between electronic components (valves and later transistors). Decimal and ternary were used and abandoned because binary is much easier to implement and noise resistant.

    What we do today is simulate non -deterministic (noisy) signals in LLM using deterministic (binary) signals, which is a massively inefficient way to do it.

    I expect more chips with a neuron-like architecture will be coming out in the next few years. It would certainly be a benefit for the environment, as the cat will not get back in the bag

  • Only nerds and dweebs and losers play single player games.

    Some people actively avoid multiplayer games to avoid obnoxious, entitled kids.

  • If I'm renting music, at least give me FLAC level quality.

    No, 320 kbps won't do.

  • Dropped it for Tidal years ago, never looked back.

    I've started collecting CDs and building my own Jellyfin library so I don't depend on streaming services.

  • I was about to buy it on Steam and it turns out that it is free if you already own the originals. Sweet!

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

  • 850 hours on Skyrim and counting.

    I seem to have it under control now.

  • It's porn.

    It's always porn that decides if a technology lives or dies.
