58008to News•You're likely already infected with a brain-eating virus you've never heard ofEnglish13·2 days agoWill it eat my memories because I’m actually kinda onboard with that.
This is like me laying naked on my back with an erection and saying the shadow cast by the sun is a complex timekeeping device.
58008OPto Ask Experienced Devs@programming.dev•Could online age verification be done in a way that protects privacy and autonomy?English1·3 days agoNo, it’s not desirable, but it’s coming nonetheless. I was just curious if it’s even possible to do it in a way that doesn’t harm everyone.
Donald Trump is unworthy of the gift of human life.
Pretty sure I saw a complete form of this on a lamppost in N. Ireland.
The banshee scared the shit into my nappies watching this when I was a wee lad.
58008to movies@piefed.social•Val Kilmer will appear in a new movie as an AI recreation approved by his familyEnglish7·5 days agoCan I just put this out there for posterity:
I do not consent to my likeness being DLSS5ed into a movie. I’m a nobody, but they might one day want to make a movie about a fat shut-in with bad teeth, and on that day, they’ll surely come a’knockin’ on my door. I AM NOT HOME. Let me rest in peace for fuck’s sake.
I don’t begrudge his family making bank, but everyone else involved in this project is in need of serious psychiatric intervention.
58008to Ask Lemmy•In a zombie apocalypse where do you hold up assuming you can secure any location you chose?English6·7 days agoImmediate suicide for me, I’m afraid.
58008to Games•Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your gameEnglish541·8 days agoWon’t it be kinda strange for gamers who buy a game and find that none of the characters look like the ones on the Steam storefront? 👀 Many of these characters are legendary and have been in long-running serieseses, imagine booting up the latest Uncharted game only to find that Burt Reynolds is the main character now, all because you turned on DLSS.
Downright disrespectful of the artistic toil that goes into perfecting characters, lighting, colour grading, etc. Like maybe there was an artistic choice made to not have the character look like an AI ad for an AI-generated OnlyFans model?
It used to be a tool to gain FPS while retaining graphical fidelity. Now it’s aiming to be a full-on infidel; replacing art to the extent that it’s barely recognisable. What will DLSS 8 be like?
Left alone to do what? Genocide in peace?
58008to World News•Trump snubs Zelensky’s offer to help US with drone tech and lashes out at him againEnglish40·9 days agoCucked little bitch. Putin’s dick is so far down his throat that he’s able to fuck his breakfast Big Mac.
I still cannot believe that this pube-flecked chunk of human excrement won a second term. It’s still genuinely sickening to me, like my stomach really feels like I’m perpetually tipping over the apogee of a rollercoaster when I remember what happened. His winning the first term was at least comprehensible, but I’m still punchdrunk from the shock of it all, even after all this time. And I’m not even from the US! I can’t imagine what it feels like for the people who have to live there, especially those who aren’t cis-white-hetero-males.
58008to World News•UK to drop historic figures from banknotes and change them to images of wildlifeEnglish41·12 days agoThey should do this, and after putting various animals on various denominations, have one with Nigel Farage’s face on it. Just leave it as-is, no caption or anything.
Amphibians need love, too.
58008to News•Transgender Chili’s manager fired because ‘personal values and lifestyle did not align’ with chain’s, lawsuit saysEnglish24·13 days agoThe casual dining chain, which is owned by publicly traded Brinker International, professes to believe in “a culture of belonging,” telling job applicants that it welcomes “those of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, religions, age and backgrounds.”
“We celebrate these differences through a culture of belonging where individual strengths and stories are respected and valued,” ChilisJobs.com asserts. “We’re proud to be a community-oriented meeting place and want everyone to feel welcome at Chili’s.”
I don’t understand the utility of proclaiming your company to be a bastion for the people you clearly hate. Why entice them to become employees just to fire them? And in firing them, receive a tidal wave of bad press and probable lawsuits? 🤷
They’re a psyop set up by Big Feline.
You can still do this. There’re loads of free and basic (i.e. easy-to-learn) game engines and you can make games of much better quality with the same effort. itch.io is full of free games made by amateurs.
When people celebrate the downfall of Flash, it’s not because of the games. It’s because the entire internet was replete with unnecessary Flash-heavy bullshit that required constantly updating your browser’s Flash plugins (and all browsers had their own version you had to install and update), and how it was completely unsuited to any sort of UI/UX (e.g. you couldn’t even copy and paste text in Flash pages most of the time). And all that is to say nothing of the gaping goatse of a security hole that it was.
It was cancer. Just because the cancer got you down to your goal weight, it doesn’t mean you should lament the success of your chemotherapy.
While understandable, being able to request specific characteristics from your driver, like sex and gender, is putting drivers at risk even more than they already were. Like I can already think of a few dark scenarios and situations that are facilitated by this feature. In fact, this feature opens Uber drivers up as a much more viable source of victims for sex offences, robbery, stalking/inceldom, etc.
Would this render figs off limits for vegans and vegetarians? 🤔
Epic has employees?
