Not quite the same, but we do have “andfinally” for quirky and silly news.

Named after the tendency on TV to put lighthearted news pieces like these at the end, to give people something to smile about after all the depressing stuff.

Before building work started I guarantee they promised "A tasteful renovation in keeping with the structure’s historical aesthetic"🙄

That’s true only if you’re a member of that same circle.

Those who are rich are allowed to “see behind the curtain” and talk about things as they really are.

As a member of the working class you are supposed to be naive, obedient and docile. Showing that you see through the lie is intolerable.

Of course, the irony is that your interviewing manager is very likely also not a member of the elite. They are a working class person just like you, playing their scripted part in the same corporate fantasy.

If the air fryer had an inside camera so you could see how things were doing, that would actually be kinda cool!

It’s not that the cops don’t know how to search a video, they simply don’t want to, because theft of property from you, a working-class nobody, is nothing to them.

You can only assume they believe that people won’t want to use that button much.

For a lot of people that’s surely a mistaken assumption, but in my case it would be pretty true.

I use an old macbook pro from work as my permanent desktop, in a closed configuration under the desk. Sometimes I sleep it, but I don’t ever turn it off. I only ever need the power button when something has gone wrong.

But they could have just put the button on the back. Kinda silly.

It doesn’t need it. That’s exactly the point.

Even though air frying doesn’t need Internet, the manufacturer is restricting that feature as a way to force you to set up the WiFi, so they can then slurp up all your data.

They’re literally holding the feature hostage, as motivation.

Adding on to this comment, it is very often not possible to change your auth method.

If you use email to register, you can almost always change to a different email (same method) but you can’t change between methods, like from Google auth to Apple auth, or even to a different google auth.

You’d need to create a new account, and therefore lose all the data on your old account.

Always choosing email gives you the most control and most privacy, I’d strongly recommend it.

This is like the Minecraft crafting recipe for a Conduit

This is the answer.

Fan-made trailers of existing media can be really interesting, especially when they put a very different take on the presentation.

Example: Star Trek the Motion Picture in a more modern style makes that movie seem amazing.

Or Alien as a comedy movie

The mouth especially made me think of Gorillaz

You’re right of course, it’s definitely down to simple lack of incentive, rather than some kind of conspiracy. But the conspiracy was a fun shower thought! :)

I was almost convinced they were keeping this broken on purpose, it’s been broken so long. Like, years long.

It was broken so long I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if news surfaced that Discord was taking back-handers from Microsoft under the table to keep it broken. With steam working so well on Linux now, broken discord streaming without actual working audio share was one of the last things that posed a hurdle for gamers ditching Windows.

(In the meantime, thank you Vesktop for your service <3)

Yes.

As someone who loves mods, I’m totally I’m agreement.

Mods vary greatly, from ones that add tiny quality of life improvements, such as a ‘sort’ button on your inventory, right through to huge visual overhauls and new characters and mechanics changes.

Personally I like to always play games in a fairly vanilla way first with QOL changes only, and then when I’ve played it through once, the mods can keep things interesting.

That’s why mods are great, because they give you, the user, the choice.

Using established characters in your own works has long been accepted in Japan, especially for smaller doujin works, and that’s awesome. But the analogy between that and modding just isn’t the same.

If we apply the ‘modding’ analogy to manga, that would basically be taking someone else’s published work, applying white-out on half the frames, drawing in partial new contents of your own, and then republishing it. That would be incredibly disrespectful of the author to use not only their character, but their exact art in such a way. Very different from creating a whole new derivative work.

I’m personally very in-favour of modding, but I can understand why the Japanese in particular, when seen through that lens, do not like it.

Vita was technically impressive, far more capable than the DS. I’ve got an OLED Vita and I’m amazed how nice it still looks.

But the Vita inevietably lost to Nintendo because it struggled with popularity, and therefore struggled with number of games made for it. It’s a catch 22.

If Sony can make a portable that plays all your PS5 library (without needing to buy any of it again) then they might actually be on a winner.

Games getting bigger and bigger in gigabytes, but still hampered by slow optical disks and slow hard drives. It was good tat the time, but I have more fondness for the cartridges which came before, whose immediacy felt like magic.
