Maybe vaguely in general, but you have to look at each show individually.

I’ve had conversations about One Piece before where the other person didn’t want to watch it solely because it had slavery in it, despite every depiction of slavery in the show being blatantly evil.

Because it glows in the dark… and also shoots gel beads that glow in the dark.

Uh… Isn’t that carcinogenic?

That was only a year ago. And collections were added way before the merger.

Honestly, I haven’t seen anything get added since the purchase. The main change I’ve seen is more pushing of vortex and collections when you go to the download page, there’s an extra page/window you have to click through now.

Also, splitting requirements and dependencies in different sections of mods’ description tabs. While they did need more differentiation, putting them in separate expansion buttons was too much and actually makes checking dependencies harder, especially with having pages instead of a long list

For an unpaid mod? Thats about the only time I’d be ok with it. But I wouldn’t want to install a mod AI coded.

Another factor is if it’s the difference between getting expanded dialogue for a character with the same voice, or with a different VA that can significantly change the personality.

For example, Serana Dialogue Add-On vs Serana Dialogue Expansion. I personally can’t stand the new personality added with SDA.

That being said, I’m significantly less tolerant of dialogue expansion mods that have spotty quality for the voice or writing. If you’re taking a shortcut in one area (aka AI voice acting), you should be more scruitinizing for the other parts of the mod. AnBeeGod is guilty of this at times. He’s about 50/50 on whether it’s great or sub-par

Some of the hate for snaps is because it’s Cannonical trying to use its install base (Ubuntu) to push a particular format on the entire community as a vector for control

No idea. Also, my comment is mostly a joke

My personal Nobara install idles at 2.5GB. Meanwhile my W11 laptop at work idles somewhere between 8-11GB. That’s a lot of data getting used up when the computer is doing literally nothing.

No matter how “bloated” you think Linux distros are, none of them are remotely close to W11. The worst I know of is Bazzite, which can sit around 4Gb at idle. Still low enough to do a lot of things on a system with only 8GB

And the says a lot of random shit just to flame

So you admit he’s an asshole. Why should anyone waste their time on his videos then?

From the videos I’ve seen, he just does trial and error - no math or understanding involved. That’s not engineering - that’s called design. Didn’t stop him from bashing engineers in one of his videos saying that school was pointless. After that, I stopped watching his videos. Thankfully I only wasted time on 2-3 of them, including the swearing roomba.

Meanwhile I highly doubt he knows (or knew) anything about fatigue, trusses, or kinematics, things you have to have an understanding of in mechanical engineering. Maybe he learned after the fact, but I don’t really care.

No different from Reddit in that regard

As a mechanical engineer: if a software engineer completed school, they’re an engineer, deal with it. We’re not talking about someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing cobbing things together for 1-off demos like Michael Reeves

Yeah, this fits the bill. Thanks!

I’m skeptical. Isn’t the EU Commission the body that’s in the pockets of industry lobbyists?

Hell, just MS Paint and the bucket tool will do a good enough job

Just ran into some of them when hearing about a paid search engine yesterday.

I said I didn’t want to pay for a service that included AI, since I’d be subsidizing it even if I didn’t use in.

In come the sycophants going “YoU cOuLd JuSt NoT uSe ThE aI”, and started trying to sell me on other AI features.

I had already said I didn’t even want the AI summaries. That’s a pretty clear boundary, that they insisted on going past. But as soon as I push back, then they start gaslighting by claiming I’m the one “being confrontational”.

Almost all of the AI evangelists/cultists follow the same patterns as domestic abusers. They insist that what they want is inevitable. They never respect boundaries. And they always act like you’re the one in the wrong. I feel bacl for everyone else in their lives that have to deal with them regularly.

Quite literally. Most of them believe in the “Effective Altruism” fallacy. And there’s also some (notably Peter Thiel) that believe in "Dark Enlightenment "

Aka, pretend it’s Spanish, since it’s a word from pretend Spanish (specifically Esperanto, not Portuguese)

Tbf, there’s also actual artists that are tedious and petty.

That being said, fuck AI “artists”

I feel bad for anyone you’ve ever had a relationship with. You act like an abuser.

Edit: Seriously? You downvoted all of my comments? You just keep getting more petty
