This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.

Machine learning algorithms are not people and are not ingesting these works the same way a person does. This argument is brought up all the time and just doesn’t ring true. You’re defending the unethical use of copyrighted works by a giant corporation with a metaphor that doesn’t have any bearing on reality; in an age where artists are already shamefully undervalued. Creating art is a human process with the express intent of it being enjoyed by other humans. Having an algorithm do it is removing the most important part of art; the humanity.

Yeah I don’t really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn’t all that deep but I’m mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it’s a gorgeous game.

That being said I can’t see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I’m done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.

Why is she the one having to press charges in the first place? They assaulted a government employee on government property because she was doing her job. Kinda feels like something the US government should be prosecuting for. Like one of those “no, you fucked up. Direct to federal prison for you.” Kinda things.

Nintendo really only has a history of taking down fan remakes of existing Nintendo games or games that are charging money. They’ve never to my knowledge had a free fan game or romhack taken down nor do I think they’d have any sort of legal grounds to do so even if they wanted to. And this essentially boils down to a ROM hack. Which is almost certainly completely safe from Nintendo’s lawyers since it doesn’t contain any Nintendo made assets.

Headlines in one year: ”Amercan waterways flooded with reusable cups as Americans still throw away what should be reused."

Might be an unpopular opinion but I personally think this is fine. Especially for console. As long as the frame pacing is consistent I don’t think the game is going to be harmed by being at 30 fps. If this were PC or a competitive game it might be a different story but aiming on an Xbox controller is already suboptimal and once you play for a while your brain stops thinking about the framerate.

Then again I still go back and play Cod zombies in split screen with my gf on the 360 from time to time which doesn’t even have a consistent frame rate. So I may be someone less worried about that sort of thing.

In all fairness it doesn’t really sound like he’s a Covid denier. Its more like he’s Pro-Covid. I’m not sure if thats worse though.

Just yesterday I was playing the Batman telltale series. In it, Mayor Dent, during his descent into becoming Two Face, blows up a city block in Gotham in an attempt to thwart a terrorist organization. Two Face was put in a mental asylum for the action. I vote we do the same thing to Netanyahu.

I bet she’d be a kickass klingon actually.

Well this bitch is about to make you irrelevant you senile old orange rind.

He’s definitely like actually supposed to be president in a GTA game. Somehow he’s just in the real world fucking confused, spouting shit that’d go over great if he was on a GTA talk radio show.

True. However Most of the plugins I use don’t.

Also, I’m an FL Studio guy though learning reaper wouldn’t be out of the question if my plugins worked.

Right now it’s pretty much just HDR and music production softwares that don’t run on Linux.

Or they are and this is just it.

Its completely baffling to me that anyone takes Republicans seriously. All they do is obstruct any and all legislation so that nothing can ever get done. And once someone actually manages to help people through legislation they try to spin it like somehow feeding kids is a bad thing.

At this point I’m pretty convinced ‘republican’ is a mental illness.

Isn’t it a bit disingenuous to call it an emulation site? It’s not like they hosted ROMs or anything.

Plus they don’t even need to be profitable. They just have to convince some rich losers that they might be profitable at some undetermined time in the future.

Well shit. I thought we were supposed to ask the scientists.

Fuck no you can’t take my picture to share with 2000 other establishments to see if I’ve been a bad boy. That’s an easy way to ensure I just don’t hang out in your bar.

I honestly think it’s more accurate to say Republican voters reflect their party’s will (or more accurately Trump’s will). Trump can say and do anything and Maga voters will fall in line behind him no matter what. Even if what he says or does goes against what Republicans have historically been in favor of. Like when he sunk Nafta for his own terrible plan. He runs a cult of personality and the republican party had to either nominate him or be abandoned by their enflamed base.

Dems should have absolutely nominated Bernie. But if Bernie started spouting hateful rhetoric like Trump does he wouldn’t have a base anymore.
