Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I believe either Ed Zitron or Nikheil Surkesh have mentioned this before, but yes. It's kind of a huge problem and the boosters only solution is pretending ignorance at the problem. 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The network tab in firefox will list all the downloaded assets, much easier as long as you're using the F12 menu (which is still painful ngl) 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Instagram, tumblr, flicks, nothing, I use the network tab in F12 out of sheer spite 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I've tried to find one too, and no luck. With RES at least there's a "save picture" button when hovering over a picture, that downloads the real picture without having to open in a tab, but that's not quite the right thing 120
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well there is one answer, to those questions, and it's "you cheat". 110
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Conveniently still in the RTS genre and all, Universe at War Earth Assault was a complete failure but the OST is *awesome*: www.frankklepacki.com/ost/vg/uaw It has a full set of songs in different styles for 3 factions, even though one of those factions is around for all of 2 prologue levels.frankklepacki.comUniverse at War | Soundtrack — Frank Klepacki 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It's Twilight Princess. Though Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask all contributed their fair share, too. 000
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 07/09/2026AMBs make and break both phase and SO builds, especially high tech ones I could actually believe the AMBs make *that* much of a difference for an Aurora, honestly 131
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 29/08/2026It's a jiab. Fring doesn't sound great. If they said Eduardo Salamanca, that would be a compliment. Best spanish role in better call saul by far 000

Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 21/08/2026No doubt you can build a much cheaper small autocannon emplacement to put on stuff. Might even be able to use the Mk. 38 or some of the other small naval guns. So, that part is sound, it's just the Phalanx specifically that's underperformed 000
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The phalanx is surprisingly expensive for what it does, and not really that helpful even against expensive cruise missiles (hence the navy taking them off the Burkes) A flakpanzer (specifically the gepard) is much the same thing, albeit with a bigger gun and *those* have done quite well in Ukraine. 100
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Pentiment being so grounded and believable (if not fully accurate) makes it a far more interesting story than one which simply takes a medievalist approach because "it makes for a better story who cares if the medieval world was nothing like this". 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 11/08/2026You get podcasts via apps with subscriptions like Apple or Spotify, except podcasts for some reason *still* have ads there, and theyre really annoying YT is more convenient as a platform if you have to put up with ads, and YT premium actually gets rid of them 001
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Well, the poster in question basically admitted they were making prejudiced assumptions, assigning Bret the status of a chud "history nerd". Deeply ironic when one of the best writeups about the phenomenon *is by Bret*: acoup.blog/2026/07/10/f...acoup.blogFireside Friday, July 10, 2026 (On the Chud Vision of Roman History)Hey folks, Fireside this week! I’ve been a bit behind because we had some family travel followed by an issue with a water leak in the basement which has pushed me out of my normal home office… 061
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 07/08/2026That orange idiot (along with some Navy idiots that have been there far longer) might just manage to if not kill it, at least severely hamper american naval power. But that's due to procurement and building those stupid luxury ships when the Navy is aging out and lacking basics. Not the war. 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Notably, while Starsectors endgame faction building isn't all that developed on its own, it has a ton of mods that *do* expand that part of the game, which gives it a great endgame with stuff to do and factions to kill. 000
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Yeah, the genre you've described has a third game in it, and it is [Starsector](fractalsoftworks.com). It does have the same problem of the endgame being less developed, with the focus on the early-game mercenary to king path, but still, it IS the same type of game.fractalsoftworks.com 200
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 30/06/2026"Permanent Underclass" come on we already invented a word for this same concept, it was quite popular in the 40s. Techbros need to be honest and just use "Untermenschen" already. 000
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 14/05/2026iOS auto update doesn't work. It constantly nags about "update tonight" but despite having power and wifi, at best there will be an "update failed" popup in the morning, at worst nothing at all and the update is just "forgotten" and pops back up eventually It's really annoying. 020
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 30/04/2026The literature actually says as much and has since before the AI boom (source: doi.org/10.1017/9781...) Inference "winning" as the general term for predictions made by models is actually pretty recent, the terminology if you go backwards to pre-2020 is *all over* the place and very messy 111

Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 25/08/2025So, a question: Not Just Bikes tends to say "car-dependent suburbia" specifically, and not just "suburbs". Is that enough clarification or still inviting people to argue about the semantics? 110
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 24/08/2025even back to europe to describe low-density areas of development on city outskirts. Which aren't really "suburbs" at all depending on the definition you're using It's all a mess 110
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 24/08/2025As usual most things devolve into semantic arguments, which yes is absolutely a problem. The American Suburb as a distinct thing is the car-centric sprawl of strictly zoned detached family housing - but of course "suburb" is a convenient word and has spread much farther in use than that 100
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 24/08/2025I dunno, I think urbanists generally are ok with european style "suburbs" - but people don't even *call* those suburbs, they're just random clusters of single-family housing woven into cities and outskirts. "The Suburb" as a distinct concept is an american phenomenon and very particular 100

Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 11/06/2025And they know that, which is exactly what the quote about copyright enforcement "kills AI" means, engineers know perfectly well a licensed dataset rather than a grey-sourced un-metadataed, unfiltered scrape of the internet is completely unviable 010
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 11/06/2025The only way to go forward with a viable model that separates out being slapped for copyright is to go back and build a dataset from scratch with licensed works you *know* you're allowed to use. These sets are not large enough, are too expensive, and will not satisfy users with the end result models 110
Aerolfos @aerolfos.bsky.social · 11/06/2025All of them have trained on Disney copyright.The way these datasets work is like being handed a USB with a giant folder full of art which is all the pages of google image search results they could fit.
