Have you tried just making more money?

Jeez, you poors are just so lazy.

(I really wish this weren't needed, but I think it is) \s

Lol, would love to hear why on earth this is downvoted - guess we're in full on reddit mode and just downvoting everything that isn't exactly what I think lol

Yeah it was odd to read that description being presented as an oddity - that sounds like most households I know. If you have a wife, kids, or roommate and don't enjoy being holed up in your own room the whole time you play (and those sharing your house don't just want to watch you game all night) then in house streaming is a huge boon.

I PC game, but most of my gaming is done on the couch, streamed onto my phone. I've been very tempted to buy a dedicated streaming device lately to avoid draining my phone battery while playing

Right... and no generation since has ever seen the value of owning property, right? Lol.

Are you under the impression that modern renters are choosing to rent instead of own?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck making saving for a down payment impossible for over half the country, and with rates being what they are, mortgages are expensive af.

People are renting because it's the only way to live, not because they think it's neat. People are getting upset at you not because you're pointing out that rent is a scam, but because you're implying it's the fault of the victims

As always, people who just hate change in any form - combined with the depressingly common outlook that if you don't personally like something, it must be objectively bad

Except smart phone cameras will also improve - if anything, I'd say that over the last decade, the average smart phone camera has improved at a much faster rate than your average computer monitor.

Combine what I said with all the other Metadata that will be collected, and I'm quite skeptical that you could fool an actual professional with your scheme.

Using our world as a template, it probably would be illegal to revive a convict, but itd be an open secret that a few well placed bribes and a bit of influence is all it'd take to bend the rules

It's just the same attitude as people who claim it's not really reading if you're using an eReader. Some people get weirdly elitist about books and reading

With your current phone, go ahead and take two pictures - one normal, the other a picture of a picture of that thing

Now look at the two, and tell me you can't tell in a split second that one is a picture of a picture. There's a reason that it's a running joke on the internet that people need to learn to take real screenshot instead of taking a picture of the monitor - there's always annoying and obvious artifacts.

I don't even know if I agree with that tbh - I've yet to see anything that actually shows that AI voiceovers can replace human ones. Oh they can make realistic speech, but they can't voice act. A voice actor isn't just a person who reads a script in a monotone, they're an actor.

AI will probably eventually get good enough to understand the context of the dialogue and add the appropriate inflections and such - but nothing today comes even close

. But I doubt anyone would care if you stood up to stretch your legs 30 mins before landing

You'd think, but apparently people are picky enough about what others do to care that they stand up shortly after landing, so who knows

Yeah and while I'm sure it is useful for minimizing outrage at controversial changes, it's mainly to prevent rolling out major bugs to too many people

boarding first isn't a privilege really

It is on southwest, since there's no unassigned boarding. I'm a tall dude, and I always pay for early boarding so I can get myself an emergency row seat

Yeah, remember the reaction when that one post got popular about lemmy being boring for anyone that wasn't a SWE/Linux user?

People got so pissed off, one of the top posts on lemmy that day was something to the affect of "fuck you, we're not obligated to post things you like". Which, yeah, you're not - but you also can't blame people for losing interest in your platform when you only have active discussion on one or two relatively niche topics.

The fact is that Lemmy is garbage for discussing hobbys or interests outside of a few niche areas. On reddit my feed was filled with woodworking, 3d printing, Astronomy, and other topics that get very little traffic on lemmy.

My lemmy feed is mostly politics, then SWE stuff, then memes

Just did a 5k for cancer research this weekend and we got a medal for it 🤷🏼‍♂️ hell, my wife and dog (yes, my dog got her own medal, it was adorable) got one for one walking it 😅

Ultimately it's just a piece of cheap metal, not like it's impractical to give them out willy nilly

Yeah, popular music - by definition - is going to have a broad appeal, and pointing out major problems with our society is always going to be at least a bit divisive, especially when the issue is split in party lines

Yup, they do the same for half marathons, 10ks and 5ks

Sometimes the first 3 will get special medals, but but everyone else gets the same one

I'm not saying he's a nobody, but it's not exactly downvote worthy to not know him lol, I'll bet there are plenty of people I'd consider well know that you're not familiar with too 🤷🏼‍♂️

I doubt they even hope the judge will agree, they're just doing it for the sake of his base. It's been his prime defense the whole time - the fact that it's bullshit doesn't matter, because as far as his base is concerned, if Trump said it, it's true

Some other people really let Apple live rent free in their heads lol

Dissappear? No, of course not

Fall out of repair, and be unable to be repaired effectively without tools, resources, or knowledge that are no longer accessible?

Abso-fucking-lutely

Take a deep sea oil rig. How long do you think it'll be operational without maintenance with all that sea water? After not too long you won't be able to repair the damage without serious industrial capabilities, and that's assuming you even know how to fix it.

Really even as relatively little as a few decades of total chaos and disorganization would be enough to make crawling back really hard. A century and more and it really could be impossible, or at least improbable - especially given that the humanity that comes out of the other end of the crisis is the same one that got us into it. So the remaining pieces of major valuable infrastructure left will probably get wrecked as the survivors fight over them

I'm kind of the same, I rarely wear deodorant, and it's basically never an issue (believe me, my wife would tell me if it was)

But some days even I'm like "holy fuck I reek" - I think it's probably a diet thing

Internet comments aren't interested in logic if they can dunk on a group they don't like lol

Sounds like fusion power lol

Why is this downvoted lol

Is it bad to not know every artist now?

Onshape is also good, the free version has all the functionality you could want unless having private models is important to you

True, but Its 100% possible for us to get knocked back into the iron age, and if that happens, there's a very real chance we won't be able to climb up again.

Easy to access sources of a lot of the resources needed to rebuild a modern civilization are gone, the only reason we can get to the remaining deposits is because we already have the advanced equipment to extract it. It's entirely possible that if we get knocked back down the tech ladder, we may never climb back up again

After a month of hanging out and talking constantly lol

Even if she thought he was straight and was interested, she would have been totally in the right to write him off as not interested and move on

Some people will worship anything Bethesda puts out, even when it's mid at best

It's one of those things that sounds dumb at first glance, but actually has a lot of sound reasoning behind it, read up on it more if you're interested

This is 100% it, there's already so much "bad" footage out there that no one is going to change their mind about jan 6 if more comes to light. But they're hoping to find a few clips that make it look good that they can play on a loop on fox News

Finally we can join Grace in enjoying a MeBurger

The way it sounds right now is "AI generated faces don't have all these artifacts 99% of the time" (I'm paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)

The only way it sounds like that is if you don't read the article at all and draw all your conclusions from just reading the title.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure many do just that, but that's not the fault of the study. They clearly state their method for selecting (or "cherry picking") images

I don't know why people (not saying you, more directed at the top commenter) keep acting like cherry picking AI images in these studies invalidate the results - cherry picking is how you use AI image generation tools, that's why most will (or can) generate several at once so you can pick the best one. If a malicious actor was trying to fool people, of course they'd use the most "real" looking ones, instead of just the first to generate

Frankly the studies would be useless if they didn't cherry pick, because it wouldn't line up with real world usage

Yeah, I agree it's pretty cringy, but I don't see how anyone else is negatively impacted by some lonely souls using it

In what sense is modern China a communist country?

It's insane how normalized it is that the leaders of our country work half the year while pulling in salaries (and I'm just talking about their actual salaries, not the millions they make from shady shit)

Meanwhile most of them would scoff and call you naive if you advocated for a 4 day work week

And idiots going to the ER because they didn't wear their seat belts just raise premiums for the rest of us (or increase the tax burden in countries with socialized Healthcare)

To deliberately cause the tires to explode during testing without putting humans at risk

my property is now worth 5x what it was worth when I bought it... in today's money. Adjusted for inflation, it's not nearly as much

Are you under the impression that the US dollar has 5xd from inflation since the 90s? Lol

Seriously, I don't know what reaction you're expecting here - if you're finding that being a landlord is a shitty way to make money, then.. Stop? Sell the apartment and invest in something else instead of whining about how badly landlords are mistreated lol
