That defeats the purpose of doing it in real time as it would introduce a delay.

Regular old live broadcast closed captioning is pretty much ‘good enough’ and that is the standard I’m comparing to.

Actual subtitles created ahead of time should be perfect because they have the time to double check.

It should come out easy enough that a loop of tape around your finger pressed to the back of the cpu should let you lift it right out.

Wipe the back with rubbing alcohol to get the tiny bit of adhesive and you shoukd be good to go.

I love that your criteria for being dead is that you don’t like it.

It sounds like you like the large scale (32 or 64) battle FPS games, whoch are not as popular currently as they do tend into the issue you mention which is not having enough players makes matchmaking drag out happens faster than small team short round games.

I do play block ops 6 because it is one of a few cross platform games one friend enjoys. It isn’t terrible, just an average cod game, but it doesn’t have the vehicle maps like modern warfare and I kinda miss those.

I also play Helldivers 2 which is 3rd person that has first person aim down site options, although it is 4 player vs environment.

I do miss the battlefield games, they were hella fun back when I played them.

Yup, and if it isn’t perfect that is ok as long as it is close enough.

Like getting name spellings wrong or mixing homophones is fine because it isn’t trying to be factually accurate.

Maybe lock your garage so the Chinese can’t get in?

Depends on the disability.

Not having a child based only on the child being deaf (who shouldn’t really suffer, but could if never given support) is very different than not having a child because they have something that will cause them immense pain and a death within days or weeks of being born. Then there is a massive spectrum between the two.

It depends, but some a child can also suffer for their entire life if they are born healthy but abused and neglected there will always be reasons for having or not having a child. Having the choice whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term is the important thing, and being denied that choice is wrong.

If the system isn’t built to move it from memory to the disk then it isn’t easy to just move it over. The browser might have the file stored in a way that makes it easy to stop and fastforward or even allow it to play or partially load,. Trying to save a file that might be incomplete is far more complicated than a good old reliable direct download.

Think of it like orange juice. The browser may have stored it in a wide shallow bowl because that works better for the browser, but it would be a pain in the ass to pour into a small cup. Much easier to just pour a new cup of orange juice when it is in an expected format.

Easy for the browser to lookup and fetch, not necessarily the process of writing permanently to the disk.

“Mask off” refers to taking off the facade of something and showing their true selves. In the case of meta/twitter/etc. the changing of policy from protecting groups that are discriminated against (ineffectively, but at least pretending to try) to actually promoting hate and discrimination is revealing their true selves as bigots and hate mongers.

Being their real names doesn’t keep it from sounding like a joke name.

Giving a LLM as a source is like giving your hair dresser as a source for things not related to hair dressing, because LLMs are trained on random people’s online posts mixed in with actual knowledgeable people’s posts.

Saying they got info from a LLM makes them less credible that someone who might actually know what they are talking about. They basically admit they don’t have the ability to think for themselves and are just trying to promote using LLMs.

Claude (the LLM) tells me

Humanity is fucking doomed.

Let’s ban centralized for profit social media.

Changing the meaning of what is being summarized is not useful.

It gives a rough idea of article length without needing to scroll down. Like remaining time on a video.

If it is a topic I’m interested with a two minute read time there probably isn’t anything of value beyond the headline. If I don’t really care and it is a 30 minute read time, there is a high likelihood that I will lose interest before finishing.

Since I read pretty fast, the estimates tend to be higher than it actually takes, but it still gives me something to use to determine whether I want to start reading.

Maybe they are fine with abusing personal data but draw the line at literal rape.

At least they have some morals.

While I agree there is a high chance that any particular game tends to go down the monetization path, not all do.

Like anything else, live service does have a place in gaming but it absolutely does not need to be forced into everything.

I am really enjoying Helldivers 2 and it is a live service that is doing a great job of avoiding the FOMO aspect of most live service games while providing the benefits of a worldwide, changing campaign that has content added slowly over time to encourage continued engagement. It also offers daily challenges, but also rewards everyone for group efforts so it doesn’t punish for not playing every day.

The recently did an oopsie by going too high with the in game price on the collab with Killzone that would be the road to being predatory, but they listed to the response and handled it well enough. Sadly, this is the exception and not the rule.
