I played GW1 back when it was new. I remember it being a lot harder than gw2, but I might’ve just been bad at it. Gw2 is very forgiving though.

The song, “Uplift the Dream,” is one of 20 tracks on an AI-generated album specifically designed to rally support for eliminating Ohio’s property taxes.

Ew. But AI is also selfish and soulless, so I guess it’s on brand for people not wanting to pay taxes.

Americans to be taken aback at their taxes. Property values have exploded over the last few years, causing some homeowners’ tax bills to grow by hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually

Am I too unsympathetic that I don’t feel like $100/mo is a big burden? People’s rent goes up by as much, but I don’t expect these people are in favor of freezing the rent.

Then we’re going to have to starve the beast, and that’s the expression we use — starving the beast.

I’m pretty sure starve the beast is a well known conservative slogan , but it really should flag someone as anti-american and also a fool.

What’s that saying? If conservatives cannot win under democracy, they will not abandon conservatism. They will abandon democracy.

They are bad people choosing to be bad people repeatedly.

No luck for me:

Not finding a lot of hits online for this problem. I think updating glibc can be kind of dicey?

We see a lot of promise in AI browser features making your online experience smoother, more helpful, and free from the everyday disruptions that break your flow

I don’t really see AI and LLMs as a solution there. Things that disrupt are typically ads or other capitalist nonsense. What are they thinking and how will AI help?

Conservatism really does have bad takes on everything.

In the context of Trump et al doing rape, I don’t think the distinction presented by Kelly really matters. Any amount of sexual assault and abuse is too much.

In what way does it matter here? Is some amount of trump rape acceptable? Is it beneficial to anyone other than trump et Al to split this hair?

Only if you’re still browsing fridge websites!

There are some things I want to know about that may or may not be considered advertising. Stuff like a band I like going on tour, or a video game I’m interested in releasing.

Maybe in your world those could just be like opt-in newsletters.

Does Japan not have the fervent anti intellectualism that we have in the US with our right wing? And it’s not in bed with racism to fuck public education together?

I bought a fancy desktop PC recently so I’m not in the market. Otherwise I would consider it, but only if the desktop environment was usable for general computing. I believe it is, but I’m not sure if its version of Linux would be best for like software development.

I feel like contextual ads, where you serve ads based on the surrounding content instead of who the individual user is would be about as effective and tremendously less expensive, complicated, and invasive.

Run football ads on football websites. Run music ads on music websites. That’s how it works in TV, radio, and so on and has for years.

That is a bizarre and ungenerous conclusion. Do you think adults having sex with 15 year olds is okay? What point are you trying to make?

Switching to Linux requires a certain level of technical skill and patience that the majority of people don’t have.

It does. However, it was a technical news website so I assumed the audience had a higher than average technical affinity. This seems to have been a bad assumption

That said, installing Linux is easier than people imagine. Most of the time you download the image and follow some short instructions.

Admittedly, the minority of the time you might have to troubleshoot.

Sometimes the word “Interesting” causes my brain to recall the character generation in Morrowind. The guy says something like ““Interesting. Now before I stamp these papers, make sure this information is correct.””

Conservatism, mostly.

Give him the ability to divest his wealth first.

Briefly imagined a world where conservative Christians are hard-line on giving to the poor and hospitality.

“Jesus said give your wealth to the poor and follow him. I don’t see a need to change that!”

Just remove all violent people first

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_without_a_difference

A distinction without a difference is a type of logical fallacy where an author or speaker attempts to describe a distinction between two things where no discernible difference exists.[1] It is particularly used when a word or phrase has connotations associated with it that one party to an argument prefers to avoid.

For example, a person might say “I did not lie; I merely stretched the truth a little bit.”[2]
