  • They're called sperm whales because of the spermaceti organ, which is probably used to make them loud as fuck, and which contains a liquid which whalers mistook for sperm.

  • But we made bananas (and most other fruits) the way they are!

    Fucking good for nothing gods, always taking credit for things we humans did all by ourselves...

  • It's exceptionally stupid everywhere lately, you guys just got a head start, but we're doing our worst to catch up.

  • Yeah, looks fine from Connect.

    Images were low resolution for a few days a couple weeks ago, but an update fixed that. Same with thumbnails a few days ago.

    From this and other apps having similar issues, I assume the protocol provides a variety of resolutions for images and thumbnails in a confusing enough way that it's not trivial for app developers to know which ones to use.

  • Isn't the whole point of peer to peer to automatically and transparently scale with the number of devices accessing the information?

    If every viewer maintains a cache of the most recent videos it's reproduced and shares them back, then the more interest there is in a video the more distributed it will be and the less load there'll be on the original holster.

    Seems to work fine for torrents (though needing to stream the chunks in a set order instead of randomly does add some inefficiency).

    Of course you need a proper client to do that, can't just use a browser (except maybe with an extension acting as the client), and I've got no idea if that's how peertube works (if it doesn't, the name is disingenuous and false advertising), but it's how it should work, if it ever wants to be able to compete with googles datacentres.

  • the Bureau was unable to do so

    Did they try copying and pasting?

  • Yeah, that's another great one in the fountain series.

    Possibly Oglaf at its most philosophical.

  • I worry about this stuff. Like-- it's hilarious on the one hand, but also nothing I'd want to see younger gen doing.

    I'm probably a total idiot for sharing it

    I'm sorry, what? It's a webcomic. It's harmless humour. It doesn't hurt anyone. Let people have fun.

  • Wait, this is the one with the necrophiliac who stalks a girl who wants to kill herself (but obviously not anywhere near him), isn't it?

    It's quite a big darker than Oglaf, but it was great!

    I didn't know it was back, thanks for calling attention to it!

  • Did you study for tomorrow's exam, though..?

  • if you asked me to recall one single one, it would be this one

    Damn, not even the fountain of girl?

  • That's the one, thanks!

  • We can't “be done with it” as long as guns are allowed to be manufactured and any random lunatic is allowed to have one.

    The fact that a tool whose only purpose is to kill people is even allowed to exist outside history museums boggles the mind in its monstrosity.

  • Seriously, someone needs to fix that as soon as possible.

    And I don't mean by changing the name.

  • Well, gray and depressing does fit the times.

  • Reminds me of this old ad, for lamps, I think, where someone threw out an old lamp (just a plain old lamp, not anthropomorphised in any way) and it was all alone and cold in the rain and it was very sad and then the ad was like “it's just an inanimate object, you dumb fuck, it doesn't feel anything, just stop moping and buy a new one, at [whatever company paid for the ad]”.

    I don't know if it was good at getting people to buy lamps (I somehow doubt it), but it definitely demonstrated that we humans will feel empathy for the stupidest inanimate shit.

    And LLMs are especially designed to be as addictive as possible (especially for CEOs, hence them being obligate yesmen), since we're definitely not going to get attached to them for their usefulness or accuracy.

  • Everything constantly getting worse at an accelerating rate.
