I don't hate them but didn't find the mechanics that interesting really (at least early on), and the amount of time spend listening to dialogue and waiting for animations and stuff bugged me, from what I remember. I'd rather play the original free games separately, I think. The changes worsen them.

It is kinda amazing that they aren't aware or embarrassed enough to avoid stating such a contradiction in public.

I acknowledge there are bigger problems right now, but we really need to start teaching user interface design in schools. Jesus christ.

How do you create a country that includes and excludes people based on race without being racist? I can understand why people (some of my ancestors as well) may have been drawn to the idea in desperation, but it’s still an inherently racist project with predictable outcomes.

Notably, Jarosław Wolski, the Polish political scientist who was a primary source of the AfD social media bot claim, has now retracted his statement and apologised (more of this, please!). German journalists have also confirmed the graph was fake and AI-generated.
Apologies and Correction.
I would like to apologize to all Readers for providing false information and a graphic suggesting that bot activity around AfD had dropped by 56%.
According to the findings of @niebezpiecznik, which cites the opinion of the Cemas research institute, the Hasso Plattner Institute, and the
"Polisphere" think tank, there has been no permanent and measurable decrease in pro-AfD posts. Moreover, the original graphic in German turned out to be Al-generated.
Unfortunately, my post with the disinformation reached millions of views, for which I would like to apologize to all readers once again. Of course, I take full responsibility for what I did, and simply and humanly, I am ashamed that I misinformed you. I also apologize to the contested opponents who were the first to point out that I was wrong.
To avoid further disinformation, I have deleted the post. From now on, in topics not strictly related to the military, I will adopt the principle of providing citations or original sources whenever possible. Or clearly stating their absence/unclear source of information so that it is visibly evident in the post.
JW.
Rate this translation:.! A German journalist has tracked down the original graphic that sparked a wave of controversial (to put it mildly, untrue) reports yesterday and today about a drop in activity from Russian bots/trolls.
He created it-"24-year-old steward Frank"—and marked it as ...generated by Al (which we already suspected yesterday).
Unfortunately, the politicians who shared this material further failed to keep that marking (intentionally or by accident 1ºr) and didn't indicate the source either.
What's more, the German research institute Cemas, which deals with disinformation, the Hasso Plattner Institute, and the Polisphere think tank have officially X denied observing any drop in the number of posts that could be explained by an attack on Yandex.
"Neither the activity of existing bots nor the rate of creating new ones has declined, as shown by the data we're collecting."
Well, those are data from Germany, though. Meanwhile, in Poland, Minister Siemoniak said that "ABW has noted a radical drop in the activity of Russian bots online. This is a phenomenon observed worldwide after the bombing of three data centers."
But ABW hasn't publicized anything on this matter so far. Here's hoping they do. That would be something!! For now, we know that "worldwide" apparently means everywhere except Germany...

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Gil Scott-Heron and Venom made very, very different songs titled and about Angel Dust, and I love them both.

I love how almost all Venom songs are 3 or 4 minutes long, and then there's At War With Satan at 20 minutes, and none of it is wasted or repeated.

The one nice thing about headphones vs monitor speakers is half the treble doesn't cut out when a cat walks in front of a speaker.

Yeah, have a decent amp that takes USB from the PC and has its own DAC. Dunno what the headphone side of it is like though, but I was always impressed by these headphones on lesser amps. I think the speakers+sub I have now are just a lot better.

Out of an overabundance of caution for my neighbours, I unpacked my Sennheiser hd650 headphones for the first time in about a decade. Seems like I finally have speakers + sub that make these sound kinda shit by comparison. Or I'm just not used to headphones in general, IDK.

I keep wondering what they think is going to happen. It's like their brains are completely unable to grasp cause and effect, or how much impact their choices have when they're a business of that scale and everyone else wants to follow suit. Not that shortsightedness is new, but it highlights it.

Man, Republicans are such weak, unambitious turds. Put some British politicians in the mix and they would have toppled the leader so many times over by now trying to become the new top dog (and then being booted out themselves).

Sure would be nice if you could set the Windows desktop to sort by type and then have it actually, you know, stay sorted by type. Instead of your Recycle Bin moving to a random place on the screen because some other files got created. Nice if they fixed it not noticing deletions all the time, too.

Haha, the other games in the series are great as well, maybe better. (Certainly better performance!) They have two different strands which look similar on the surface, but the other one lets you place the lasers anywhere, not just on a grid, which makes it both easier and harder in diff ways.

I reworded slightly and got this different but also hilariously wrong answer. SPORT and GAMES are not sports. Most of the other examples have 6 letters, not 5.
Sports with 5 letters, according to Google:

Rugby, Tennis, Boxing, Soccer, Sport, Games

(Yes, I know Google's AI is worse than others. Not to any significant degree, though. They all make these kinds of mistakes, and always will, becasue the entire technology is snake-oil fraudulently sold by con-men.)

This shit isn't even good for crossword clues. "Examples of 5-letters sports", mentions rugby twice, plus several sports with 4 or 6 letters, and a lot of "No, wait..." pretending to think aloud bullshit on two of the examples. Why did we destroy everything for this utter crap?
Google's forced AI crap at the top of a search for sports with 5 letters, which is as terrible as described.
