Anthropic: We stole that fair and square!

That… Is a pretty badass image.

I bet barn owls were thrilled once barns were invented, finally made their names make sense.

What’s his name?

Bless your heart.

This came up in a recent post and pissed a lot of people off. To be clear: large vehicles increase the risk of fatality when someone is hit by a vehicle, but the leading CAUSE of accidents is distracted driving and the leading increase in accidents since around that same timeframe has been the increased prevelance of smart phones.

If their budget is tight enough yeah a Linux build-your-own is likely the cheapest way to go. It probably won’t be able to play high end games without getting close to the steam price point but you can go much cheaper and still play the majority of steam games.

I’m a data analyst by trade so rhetoric like that can fuck right off. You want to talk about loot box mechanics? Sure. But bullshit scare mongering descriptions like that have no place in reasonable discourse.

Shit I’ll take that as a reason too and gladly back them for it.

Indeed it is, and at some point I found myself too lazy to start switching off my fedinsfw alt, so here I am =-)

Hmm, wrestling porn as in actual wresters who have done porn, or role playing where a woman is fighting a man and pins him and then has his way with them? Because… I would like to find that second one myself…

Sure, but they’re one of the only companies proving that consumerism doesn’t mean you have to be a complete asshole of a company. They make money, people get the product they want at a price point they are satisfied with.

Honestly that makes me like Steam even more. Any company that is willing to put up that much money to serve a niche market earns my respect. Sure they’re doing it for the simple reason of Steam machine owners being guaranteed Steam gaming customers but it’s still serving a subset of their customers like few companies do these days.

I imagine most of the more tech savvy people on Lemmy would scoff at this and say “Might as well build a PC” (me included, which I already did), but this is aimed at the consumers who do not have that skill set and are willing to pay that price point for a Steam gaming system /shrug

Yeah the phrase to me means all men, and all non Jewish people, so by definition everyone but Jewish women, heh. It struck me as funny so instead of working I made a stupid venn diagram, which seemed a better use of my time.

“Penalty!” “Oh come on, that wasn’t a gay joke, it was an Australian joke!”

Bruh that’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Yes obviously I’m talking about how it’s the corporation that wants to stall and drag it out, not the person suing them. The game plan is to delay and run up the costs and hope the person suing them runs out of time or money. Then only offer a settlement once it gets close enough to going to court and looking like they aren’t going to win, which is frequently known before it gets to trial based on the evidence in play.
