I'm hearing about this everywhere all of the sudden. Wife forced me to watch season 4 due to Ron Funchess. Is that the same reason why everyone is watching it?

That first-panel frown seems almost as if it was drawn as a revision. Those eyebrows seem out of place. Maybe the initial more-neutral expression didn't feel right?

What I need now is for Valve to release a simple app that does one simple thing: SteamMachineCompare. Just let me know how WHATEVER I RUN THAT APP ON compares to the Steam Machine.

PhysicsForums and the Dead Internet Theory An exposΓ© no one will read, about the widespread falsification of user posts in PhysicsForums, a scientific community founded in 2001. This is a microcosm of the death of the human-written Internet.

I recommend reading this to get an idea of just how insidiously misinformation can spread into even the 'old' internet; the web pages that existed prior to the rise of LLM (or even automated) content

English words using the Latin alphabet arranged in blocks so it looks vaguely like Korean Hangul: "Hello there this is from memory"

English words using the Latin alphabet arranged in blocks so it looks vaguely like Korean Hangul: "Hello there this is from memory"

Years ago (2017 or prior) I saw a post (I gotta assume Twitter) that consisted of someone writing English as if it was Korean. Not using Hangul to write English words, but arranging Latin alphabet letters in blocks following rules similar to Hangul. Anyone have ANY clue about it?

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Game dev is spending 100 hours making a game and 0 hours playing any then wondering why your design feels like it was made by a sleep-deprived robot who’s never felt joy.

@unreal-garden.com I don't know if it's an issue with bsky.app or what, but all your previews lately are showing up as 405 Not Allowed. Clicking on the link opens them up fine. This seems to have changed about 4 days ago?

Hard not to feel some great dishonesty at play here. When I'm logged into my work account or incognito, I get one set of ratings for the Battle.net app (2.3 stars too many in my opinion) while in my home account, it shows me much higher ratings (3.7 stars), WHILE CLAIMING THE SAME REVIEWS (139k)

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

I wonder if we'll ever be ready for the conversation that the phenomenon of "Not recommended, 759.5 hours played" steam reviews isn't necessarily because gamers are weird, but because a lot of games are designed to be addictive and numbing, but not necessarily very fun.
