they have nothing to hide from those with access to their data (governments/corporations).

That is only a good point until you remind them that the government/corporations aren't just entities but also consist of people, any of which could end up being their neighbor tomorrow, hold their next job interview, be their next potential tinder match, etc.

Of course the rest of what you wrote is true too, but I really felt the need to point this out.

To give an example: I'm in data science. As part of a contract work I had access to a csv dump of a database of addresses of all people who ordered campaign material for a specific political campaign. I could have easily sated my own curiosity and checked who in my near vacinity is in that list, as well as the exact amounts that they ordered and some other notes about them. Suddenly it wouldn't just be some corporation anymore but their neighbor.

One in five is quite a bit. To make an extreme example: If one in five people on the street were looking to stab you, you'd be thinking there's a lot of people wanting you dead.

Also it's ca. one in three among the young men, which is terrifying. And if the "more favorable among heterosexual" holds true for only the male half (I see no reason why it wouldn't), that's even higher among that demographic.

Fuck that's scary.

Have you heard of The Longing? It doesn't tick all your boxes but it is definitely a long term game that has you make slow, real-time progress while the real time clock of 400 days is ticking down. Not really management sim progress though.

On the more managy side, I've had some fun with Factory Idle. Essentially mini-Factorio as an idle game.

Obviously a good thing to keep the "allegedly", but that statement doesn't refute what the other person claimed. They said Meta hired them, not Meta put them in the Threads team.

Also I obviously don't know how Meta is structured, but where I'm at, it wouldn't be unusual for someone not part of a team to still talk to members of a team, give advice, etc.

That's gotta be it. You can tell images to be displayed rotated instead of actually rotating them through metadata (EXIF flags). That's for example also how Windows does (or at least did) rotate images when you clicked on the 90° rotation button.

I remember having issues with this before when later loading those images through some code.

I'm a bit worried after Cyberpunk and now this that large western franchises will use anime as a glorified advertisement.

But on the other hand, it looks like a fun show, well animated too and written by the tag team who wrote Vivy, so I have no reason to think it'll be bad.

Also I (tongue-in-cheek) worry about the consequences of putting Harley Quinn (and to a lesser degree Joker) in front of all the weebs and otaku...

In addition to what the other user said: some subs were hiding the downvote buttons through their custom subreddit styles. You'd only see this if you used old.reddit though and if you disabled the css (or used an app like RiF) you could downvote as normal.

Maybe that's where your confusion started.

I'm not really a believer of the whole simulated universe theory, but I find your arguments against it weak.

You're basing what is and isn't easily calculatable off of our experiences. Same with "complexities of the universes". However, if our world is indeed simulated, there's no telling what the host universe is like. It might have crazy different math and be far far more complex than ours. Us trying to understand it would essentially be an excercise in futility.

Back when I was still reading a lot of stuff, the consensus was that specifying it would essentially ruin it.

I hope that's still the case.

There's a new one on feddit.ch

[email protected] should get you there in your own instance if your instance already knows it.

After a quick Google search I learned that the answer is "kinda".

Just like us they do produces gases as part of their metabolism. That gas has to go somewhere. Some of it is absorbed into their hemolyph (blood) and expelled into the air through openings in their exoskeleton. But it's very unlikely that none of that gas exits through their anus.

Also, people have spotted "bubbles" on insects trapped in amber right where their anus is, it's likely that those are encased fart-bubbles.

But by donating you'd increase the supply and they'd make less money, so that doesn't quite check out.

Anything you tend to always like or hate? Also are you looking for something short like a 12 or 24 episode thing or something to really sink your teeth into?

Also if you have any anime tracker (MAL/Anilist/etc) it would be nice to see what you've already seen to avoid just giving you pointless recommendations.

Or just play some games on your laptop.

It's gotta be Outer Wilds for me for sure.

With the Lemmy Koopa being named after the Motörhead singer, that makes him 2/4 on the listed reasons.

Do we have a AI with a theory of mind or just a AI that answers the questions in the test correctly?

Now whether or not there is a difference between those two things is more of a philosophical debate. But assuming there is a difference, I would argue it's the latter. It has likely seen many similar examples during training (the prompts are in the article you linked, it's not unlikely to have similar texts in a web-scraped training set) and even if not, it's not that difficult to extrapolate those answers from the many texts it must've read where a character was surprised at an item missing that that character didn't see being stolen.

Would moving closer to your workplace be an option? You said the pay is good and you like working there.

You could save up to 3 hours every non-homeoffice work day.

I'm glad there's even a single soul out there who knows the CW games.

I'm very excited for this.
