The zodiac killer thing was a joke at first. It was focused on the odd way he would talk, comparing mannerisms with that if the zodiac killer.

I’m not aware of it ever being said. But I’ve noticed a lot of conspiracies seem to originate from a joke that others don’t get.

A group of investors including private-equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund could unveil a deal for the publisher best known for its sports games as soon as next week, WSJ said.

Is there a way to get a list of the top company’s involved? I’m curious who the owners would be. This implies it would mostly be Saudi Arabia, but it isn’t clear.

If I’ve learned anything about the corporate world is that they only want metrics that confirm the views they hold or want to push. I think you have a point though. These are metrics that they can reference when trying to get advertising money. If I was an advertiser I’d care more about how many are not bots though.

I’m not really anti AI, but I do have plenty of issues with it. Mostly with how it is trained and pushed. Well and almost everyone in charge of it. It feels like the worst people are excited at the idea of replacing people and it is very dystopian.

But like, I don’t hate LLMs. In fact what I hate the most about them is the human aspects I guess. Like I see a lot of people on forums almost religious about it.

Anyways, I know Lemmy hates it. What is the main reason? Is it similar to what I dislike about it or is the underlying technology (not the copyright issues) also upsetting people?

She left him over trust issues and it’s implied he didn’t have a good alibi for Epstein. We don’t know if Bill actually did anything, but Melinda clearly didn’t trust him in the end. Bill also came across as controlling (not surprising) and she had to just suffer with the lifestyle he chose even when she disagreed.

She clearly cared more about philanthropy for the sake of it than he did. She also was more interested in being modest despite wealth. At least modest for being that rich, I don’t actually know how modest she was/is but she wasn’t into big mega mansions.

For a lot of us we can’t simply leave. And if we can, it could still take years for visas. If we are lucky it will be short, but I’m not too optimistic.

Thanks for extra context. These people really don’t seem to care about others suffering. Also I don’t normally hear gang violence and mass shooters together. Gang violence is generally targeted and not focused on the most amount of bodies.

Regardless I’m getting tired of this all, and it’s likely only beginning.

Plex hasn’t been getting better, but it still does what I need. I have a lifetime pass from years ago. If I was starting today I would be a lot less inclined to pay for Plex though. They keep adding things I don’t want.

I have a lot of curiosity about Trans and I’m impressed your so open to questions. I fear that my questions might come off poorly and it isn’t my intention, I just don’t know how to ask these in the best light.

1. I see that you mentioned there are studies that point to Trans likely being a mismatch between the brain and body at development. But, do you think there is also a link that involves childhood trauma? Or is the science very clear?

2. I often find myself uncomfortable with Trans people in person, but I often wonder if half of that is simply that I don’t know how to treat someone. The ones that I met that had relatively normal behavior I found pretty easy to talk to and I felt for them. But ones that were more complicated, say neurodivergent beyond dysphoria, or they had a lot of emotional trauma, made me very uncomfortable. Do you think most of this issue is that as children we are taught how to treat people that are squarely female or male, rather than learning how to treat people as a whole?

I often wish the world wasn’t so hostile, but I also find that some things that were set in motion in my childhood are the hardest to change. It’s easy to change what I act on, but harder to change how I feel.

Thank you again for doing this!

Eh, enough if their content can exist fine without calling anyone out. I don’t think it’s what any of them really want to do, they prefer to focus on games. I feel like they mostly call out individual game performance.

You are right in that their consistency in what they get upset about seems inconsistent. It does feel like it might depend on what company was nice to them recently. But I still think the heart of their content works even with that issue.

Optimized settings was my favorite thing too.

Don’t a lot of platforms online not let you buy Monero because of this? Like how do people buy Monero through a reputable source?

Bitcoin specifically was never meant as a currency. There is a reason why people call it “digital gold”. I do find myself hesitant to buy it since people buy it with the goal of getting rich, it ruins the entire point.

In theory I actually love the idea of Bitcoin, something independent of resources. I know that sounds weird, but the moment asteroid mining gets big, traditional money storage will get rocked, hard. While something like Bitcoin, in theory, would be safe.

I see deregulation as generally a bad thing if you want any of this to be taken seriously and not be manipulated. At least, for most of them. In theory you could have a crypto that is very resilient to manipulation, I just don’t know if that exists right now.
