He called the Pope “weak on crime,” lmao.

And lo, when the penitent thief called to Jesus, he said, “Remember me, when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus heard the thief repent and replied to him, “Naw, that’s some beta cuck shit. No parole, motherfucker.”

I haven’t read the source material so I’m not sure if we’re coming up on a massive arc that takes that long to tell. But I will absolutely watch that much Slime if they’re making it!

There are enough fan boys still salivating over the fascist prick that it doesn’t necessarily have to be him.

Also I’m not sure Lemmy has a large enough audience to satiate his endless need for external validation.

Surely you could manage two middle fingers as long as you’re not in a sharp turn!

Trump’s term is four years, and he ain’t getting any better.

The point is probably that Trump’s influence has led to conservative losses in two recent elections (Canada and Australia) and arguably contributed to the AfD loss in Germany, so hopefully New Zealand goes the same way.

Apparently, January was before they identified some of the production issues that led to recalls and so on. And also that Tesla has done a bad job with the recalls so even the “fixed” ones have misaligned panels and so forth.

Why anyone still has any interest at all in buying this piece of shit eludes me.

Because it’s something the EU wanted and didn’t get in the last round. It’ll be funny if Trump accepts because it basically concedes that his negotiating position is weaker than it was eight years ago.

I’m with you though. I think a united front from all the countries where Trump imposed tariffs would be more effective at nipping this nonsense in the bud. And I think countries are shortsighted if they don’t recognize that the U.S. is becoming a fundamentally unreliable negotiating partner and their approach to negotiating with the U.S. should reflect that.

Can I ask what distro you’re running? Some of the gaming-focused ones like Bazzite still seem to gather some comments about working better with AMD, though it seems like there are some workarounds. I am resolved to leave Microsoft behind completely at the W11 switch so I’m trying to get my bearings!

Can you elaborate on the incompatibility of the newest GPUs? It looks like Nvidia publishes a Linux driver for the Blackwell series and there are a number of AI applications (like supporting Triton and pysam-based methods) which seem harder to get working on Windows than on Linux.

I’m considering switching over but I hear mixed things about Nvidia support. Some people seem to say it’s a pain to get the drivers working and others seem to think that’s an issue that’s been resolved. Not sure what to think in terms of how difficult the switch would be.

Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself

The Onion has its work cut out for it when there’s a literal bill in Congress to annex Greenland and change its name to Red, White and Blueland.

Their point is that it’s redundant. You could say ex-WoW developer, you could say WoW vet, but you don’t need both.

Still has 96% recent and 96% overall positive reviews and an “overwhelmingly positive” overall rating.

I don’t think they’re making much of a dent. The article is pretty unclear though on why Chinese gamers are mad, other than that there was a possible “dodgy translation.”

“Memorized” is a bit generous. It’s pretty hazy on a lot of the details.

I did figure out how to deal with them, and I am awash in tungsten! Now I’m shipping tungsten plates back to support my artillery aspirations.

I luckily am stuck on Vulcanus until I can figure out how to kill these worms and get to the tungsten ore, and there’s no way I can travel back to the Forgotten Realms until my rocket is fueled.

You fail the saving throw. The curse takes hold of you, the Bane of Thorny Improbability, which damns its bearer to be eternally plagued by probability and combinatorics conundra in their adventures.

You know that you possess an antidote to stave off the worst effects of the curse, but you have three unlabeled flasks at your belt, all of which have an equal probability of being the cure. You choose a flask at random, but as you seek to dislodge it, one of the other flasks falls to the earth and shatters. The liquid eats through the rock of the cavern, giving off acrid smoke, and you recognize that the fallen vial was a deadly poison, not the cure.

Knowing that the second flask did not contain the cure, do you have a better chance of salvation by drinking the flask you originally chose, or switching to the remaining unfallen flask?

Redundancy is one tell, for sure. But another sign of AI slop is writing like this:

“While STALKER 2 can be a compelling experience even with inconsistent performance and a multitude of bugs, the continued presence of these problems could hinder the game’s chances at success.”

It reads like a middle school essay. Words for the sake of words, that don’t really mean or convey anything. Baby’s first thesaurus.

The second you let fly the arrow, you feel the burning in your fingers. The world around you fades as you look down in horror at the crimson thorns that dance on the surface of your hand. You hardly notice that the arrow met its mark - the goblin falls to the ground, pierced deep through its eye - as you, too, fall to your knees. You bellow in pain, the howling echoing through the cavern as the magical vine constricts, the thorns piercing into your flesh.

Roll for wisdom.
