It's not the boeh.org link, but here is a similar timeline of events: https://research.swtch.com/xz-timeline

I mean... they didn't specify it had to be random (or even uniform)? But yeah, it's a good showcase of how GPT acquired the same biases as people, from people..

I think you got the wrong takeaway from that story... The character of God rebukes the dead man for not accepting the practical help of other people. It's just framed as though God sent the rescuers to convince the "believes in miracles" crowd that no such things exist.

Consider a simple rewording: instead of "I sent you two boats and a helicopter" you read "Two boats and a helicopter came to save you." This solves your only hangup and doesn't even change the story. Your beef is with the aesthetic component, not the meaning of the story.

Not even remotely.

Added toggle for 'Reduced Motion', removing the swirly background and gyrating card motion

Judging by other comments online people seem to love the aesthetic, but I IMMEDIATELY turned off the CRT, scanlines, and screen shaking settings. It was just too much for me. I'm so happy they're letting me take out the last thing that is fucking with my vision after a long play session.

Changed the first shop in every run to always include a normal Buffoon pack as one of the pack options

I think this is a good change too. Might still be a little RNG reliant, but this definitely helps when more often than not, I restart the run after taking a look at the first couple of shops.

Upcoming blinds/tags can now be seen in the shop immediately after defeating a boss blind/cashing out

Also a worthy change.

Changed Fibonacci - costs $8 instead of $7, because Fibonacci

lol

Changed Seance - Now uncommon and $6, was rare and $7

Awww, I'm disappointed that the Magic TCG reference is now a little less on the nose.

Overall there's a LOT of balance changes in here. I'm a little concerned that LocalThunk might have bitten off more than he could chew. Especially given that the blinds' base values have been reduced to make the game easier. Though, is it to make it "easier" or "less RNG heavy?" I guess we'll find out soon enough.

So they just have to make good enough games to avoid two complete flops in a row. Which is impossible

BG3 made a lot of committed repeat customers for Larian, I don't think it's impossible their next game will sell very well based on name recognition and good will alone. A guarantee? No. But a safe bet.

It’s the equivalent of the rich billionaires saying if you want a house just work hard and buy one. It’s not hard! Why are the poor people complaining?

If this is the source of your rage posting, that's a lot of misguided anger to point it toward Larian. Are we gonna complain about the one-man developer who quit his job to develop Balatro? Yes he was privileged enough to have savings to dig into, but neither him nor Larian are anywhere in the same ballpark as EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, etc. They're just the wrong people to get mad at.

Your other comments which are the same comment repeated to everyone. I also don't see any logic, just ragebait.

Blocked by OP, lol

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

Thanks for the headsup.

Ever since reading about the challenge of deleting an image from your profile, a GUI for that. It should not only be an API call, not should you have to contact your instance admin to do it. It should be completely self-service from your profile page.

Do you have further reading about this?

The unironic blasphemy is off the charts.

 

Feinstein suddenly became the mayor of San Francisco when two other officials were assassinated. Later she was elected to the U.S. Senate after male senators grilled Anita Hill in public hearings.

 

Does anyone else see this post by t2aki at the top of https://kbin.social/microblog/newest ? I'm not sure if it's a federation bug, like some kind of miscommunication between kbin and their instance on the timestamp of the post, or some kind of scheduled-in-advance post that is set to go live one hour from now. I'm not even sure it will ever stop being "1 hour from now."

 

So funny thing about #kbin. I post a photo thread. I go to my profile and see the thread. I click on the image preview icon. I immediately get sent to https://kbin.social/u/undefined. Not only is Mr. Undefined a real user, hello @undefined, but somehow my image now directs to his profile.

As I dig into Firefox dev tools to find out why, I see that uBlock Origin has blocked the request for my image. But that's odd, I have no specific blocking rules for kbin, and kbin.social doesn't run ads. What's up?

So it turns out my image got uploaded to the following URL: https://media.kbin.social/media/ad/b2/adb203028331eada7f99f2b4547cbc0a7efc0ba4e203a71d9d193c02d38aa4f1.jpg

.../media/ad/... That's what uBlock was upset about. So by blocking that request, the target of the AJAX fetch is... undefined. Hence my trip to a random user's profile. XD

Oddly, I don't feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse. Instead it actually feels like I have some level of control over what I see, rather than say, "suggesting" to YouTube that I don't want to see more neo-nazi propaganda and hoping it actually listens to me.

#fediverse

 

With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump.

 

30 hours into #baldursgate3 and I'm convinced that playing Sockem Boppers is the best strategy.

#gaming

 

Alright I'm liking Baldur's Gate 3 so far. The facial animations are very expressive, but does anyone notice the characters in a conversation kinda teleport around a lot? Is that just me?

#baldursgate3 #bg3 #gaming

 

I want to hear from people who have two ActivityPub instances running in Docker containers, on the same Docker network, and have them federating with each other.

#fediverse

 

Shout out to Paint.net! Great software, but it's almost 20 years old and still doesn't have an Autosave feature. The forums are full of people begging for this feature for years and they still haven't added one. Their response is the classic "you should save more often."

I've started using LibreOffice and it likes to crash on my PC pretty regularly. It's kind of a pain to have to re-open my document every half hour, but it never fails to recover exactly where I left off.

Anyway. Autosave. Good feature.
