The fossil fuel world isn’t going anywhere. As soon as supply is restored no one will have learned anything and nothing will be done to reduce reliance.

After looking it up, assuming it’s a zaghrouta, I can understand that being a bit jarring during a quiet part of a set. It’s not exactly subtle and could easily sound like someone is mocking you in western context.

Best not look at DFW with those limitations…

The fediverse has an extremely bad case of the GroupThink.

Hi, man here.

Fuck misogyny and misandry. There is no excuse to be prejudiced.

The fuck are you on about? Are you implying white people cannot be gay, lesbian, trans, or a woman?

You seem to be under the impression that only white men can be racist or misogynist, but if you ever meet people from anywhere in the world, you’ll find that it’s the same everywhere.

Since you went generic instead of specific to the circumstance: this man has 12 years experience as a board member. Would he not have the qualifications to perform the job?

It’s not like he did this in his first year, or even first few years… At least not that we know of.

In typical fediverse fashion, the users responding to you have no answer so they get stuck on semantics and counter arguing your question rather than the intent.

I genuinely would like a well thought out response to this too. Would merit be someone with many years of teaching experience? Maybe school administration?

Do those things make that person capable of performing board responsibilities? Do those things preclude them from making creepy remarks (I highly suspect they don’t)

For the record, the dude here has been on the board for 12 years, which should be more than enough time to learn the necessary skill set to do the job. Doesn’t make him less creepy though.

Great, now “AI slop” is going to be the reason we get another republican president.

Fucking hell, people. Get something else to cry about.

Lemmy is filled with people who are too principled and too adamant about their stance to use Reddit because of the enshittification. If you put a bunch of highly opinionated and stubborn people in one place, you get this.

Since it’s related: ketchup (the word, not necessarily the sauce) has a historical origin in China. It would have been a fermented fish sauce rather than a tomato based sauce.

Electric lock goes brrr (after you put in the code)

This is about right. Teflon (PTFE) itself is mostly harmless to humans because you aren’t likely to consume large enough amounts or small enough particles of Teflon for it to enter your bloodstream.

Other PFAS like PFOA, PFOS, PFHXS, and PFNA, which are the kind you would find used to coat the inside of a popcorn bag to keep the butter off the bag, are commonly found in human blood and have been linked to negative health outcomes in humans.

To be fair, asbestos is still all over the place. They did this fun thing where they just reclassified different asbestos structures into different categories and banned some of them.

My guess for another substance that isn’t asbestos will be either PFAS or we’ll finally find out what all these micro/nanoplastics are doing to us.

Choice paralysis has nothing to do with intelligence. This attitude is forever pushing the year of the Linux desktop away.

Just deadlift everything. Fuck it.

It’s tough, they started this project well over 10 years ago. A rotation of modders rather than a full professional developer team just isn’t going to be able to pump out something that quick.

The saddest part is that Skyrim is now almost 15 year old, which makes it 3x older than the difference between Skyrim and oblivion. The engine is older than the time difference between the release date of both games.

I downloaded it so I could rate it 1 star and then delete it.

“Protesting is not a thing outside of America”

The French are going to be pissed.

Totally agree, but I think we’re talking ideal, perfect case here. The llm would need to be really tight so that the things you’re mentioning don’t happen.

Also, there’s simply not an unlimited amount of time and money when it comes to game development. You could write hundreds, even thousands of throwaway lines for minor interactions but that pales in comparison to those things being totally generated on context alone.
