"You must gather your party before venturing forth." - Baldur's Gate 2
This is how companies act even if they have competition. Because the competition is doing it, too.
violating copywright (Which ai training does not do) I would say that's still very much up for debate, legally and morally
The AI bullcrap at the top, before actual search results, is what finally made me change my default engine to duckduckgo
Wiki is a circlejerk of people who have gotten their digital power and want to play pretend that they're doing something important, something that has gravitas. So they'll have a "discussion" for a week on whether the first president convicted of 34 felonies is a "significant" fact. This is what brain dead "neutrality" looks like.

Adding "Just" makes it 5, which is too many for the pattern
Is anyone else bothered by the addition of the word "just", which throws off the whole rhythm and doesn't need to be there in any way?
This is the superior thin crust style of pizza. Cut in squares, which is a totally fine and legitimate thing to do.
I got that email about google podcasts being shut down and went and found a FOSS alternative: AntennaPod. Been using it for a few days and does everything I need, free, no ads, no extra crap, and now I don't have to start using stupid YT music.
This is gross. Why are these people allowed to be in charge of anything?
This is what I'm worried about. I hope they all tear themselves to pieces, but if Putin gets out scot free, I'll be disappointed
I put "pay us more money" in every comment box I can. It hasn't worked yet, weirdly... It's just a tool so upper management can jerk themselves off to anything good they can find, justifying their continued repression of the workers. They can point to one comment going "I love it here!" and then say any bad comment must be a bad employee.
The Imperial Radch trilogy by Ann Leckie was very good. It's got a few interesting themes along with the space battles and evil empires and weird aliens, like gender and personhood. I hear there's a new book in the same universe, but unconnected to the trilogy characters, that just came out I think?
Oh yeah, I collected a lot of them, but only up until the Q Continuum deck. I really didn't have anyone to play with, but I enjoyed the collecting part. Had some good ones, if I remember right, but never managed to get the full TNG bridge crew. Eventually gave it to one of my sisters...wonder if she still has them all?
Yeah, are they going to try to mod all the subs by themselves now? That's not going to work out really well. Either there will be no moderation and everything will be trash, or they'll have to hire people as moderators, which will cut into the profits they're trying to show. They're trying to bully people to behave how they want, and I hope it fails badly. But I'm still waiting for people to stop using twitter...
Just two days ago I had my first fluffernutter sandwich. It was good. I'll put more fluff on it next time.
The drip-feeding of information around everything happening with the game right now is frustrating. No details as to what was in season 5 until yesterday (like, who knew Mischief and Magic was Prop Hunt?), showing what they've decided PvE will be in a video, and then later on going "Oh yeah, it'll cost $5 to keep", but no details on how substantial these missions are...they're just not great at telling people anything, which makes it all worse.
