  • A little whoopsie, a little accidental Nazi collaboration

  • Please stop spreading this myth. You and I had this same discussion last year.

    There was never any “uppercase/lowercase” distinction.

    For the sake of anyone else who hasn’t seen this, here is the number plate out of a 1943 Kubelwagen (Nazi military vehicle) with capital-V “Volkswagenwerk G.m.b.H” across the top.

    And here’s the number plate from a 1959 beetle with the exact same name across the top over 15 years later, long after the factory had been returned to German control after being restarted by the British. The company didn’t become Volkswagen AG until 1960.

    Even when referring to the car itself as “the Volkswagen,” it’s still a proper noun and Germans capitalize all of their nouns anyway.

  • Part of that is because it wasn’t a throwaway movie tie-in game. The E.T. Atari game was appalling shit that came out the same year as the movie after a full 5 weeks of development and was definitely a throwaway tie-in. Goldeneye came out two years after the movie because the team thought it was the raddest shit ever and wanted to make it a good game. By the time the game came out, the movie was already long gone from theaters and had been out on VHS for almost a year.

  • More precisely, HOAs operate in deed-restricted neighborhoods. When you buy a house in that neighborhood, you sign paperwork granting the HOA authority over your property and the right to enforce rules and fines usually up to and including seizure of the property. It’s literally written into the deed to your house that they get to tell you what to do.

  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • Looks like that situation might change. Apparently trump has been “truthing” that he’s going to endorse one of them and ask the other to step down instead of letting it go to a runoff, and obviously his choice is going to be Paxton. You know, just normal democracy things where the king picks the winner instead of the people.

  • I think it’s optimistic to think they would even care about a boycott now. By volunteering to cross the lines that Anthropic wouldn’t cross, they’ve achieved Military Industrial Complex status. It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay for a subscription, you’ll fund them with your tax dollars whether you want to or not. Their mass surveillance tools are too valuable to let them fail, so they’ll get propped up and bailed out no matter what.

  • Too late. They have contracts with the Pentagon now and have officially achieved Military Industrial Complex status. You no longer get to vote with your wallet because your tax dollars will go to them whether you like it or not. The mass surveillance tools they provide are too valuable to let them fail.

  • The crazy thing about the calendar is that it’s right. A year ago, I wouldn’t have even expected an AI generated image to get the correct number of days in a week, but not only does it get that right, but it correctly shows that March has 31 days and that March 1999 started on a Monday.

    The placement isn’t that much of a giveaway either. Five or ten years before this hypothetical photo, that desk would have been just a desk, which is exactly where you’d have put a calendar. Old habits die hard, and I definitely knew people who still hung calendars next to their computer desk.

    It’s only going to continue to get harder to tell.

  • Yes, providing spoiler warnings for very old films is still appropriate and necessary

    Jump

  • I’m with you. I just posted about the ending of Psycho the other day and put it behind a spoiler tag. Sure, most people who have heard of that movie have also heard about how it ends, but the ones who haven’t should still have the chance to experience it for themselves.

  • In case you’re not joking, Baby Boomers = Boomers. Their parents were from the Silent Generation or the Greatest Generation. Baby Boomer refers to people born in the “baby boom” caused by the prosperity and optimism following WWII, and these days is often shortened to just Boomer.

  • Originally they were there to notify first responders in case of an incident where the driver is incapacitated. You used to see them held up with suction cups so they could be removed when the baby was, in fact, not onboard. It seems like that original meaning has been kind of lost, but they didn’t start out as a “please don’t run into me” sign.

  • What are you favourite ROM hacks?

    Jump

  • Banjo Kazooie Jiggies of Time

    It’s a romhack by Mark Kurko that makes Ocarina of Time into a Banjo Kazooie game. It’s really well done and I’ve heard it’s even compatible with the recently recompiled PC port of Banjo Kazooie.

  • No, the wings would be fine. A 737 carries up to 48,000 lbs of fuel in the wings. Plus, when it’s in the air, the wings are supporting and transferring all of the lift holding the plane up and all of the thrust moving the plane forward. Having a couple dozen people on the wings isn’t going to make them fail.

  • If lights are flickering when you record videos, you probably need to change the settings on your camera to match your country’s grid frequency. Almost every video recording device will have a 50/60Hz setting somewhere.
