Ya I played it a few years ago. Good stuff. I didn’t play a ton of it but I enjoyed what I did play. The base game is really exceptional imho. One of the best of the rts genera of all time.

AI always seems to struggle with people that are different. If you ask it for a person with an expression then everyone in the background also looks that way. Less of a big deal to fuck up than this though.

Some state lawmakers want school chaplains as part of a 'rescue mission' for public education (apnews.com)

Lawmakers in more than a dozen states have proposed legislation to allow spiritual chaplains in public schools, a move that proponents say will ease a youth mental health crisis, bolster staff retention and offer spiritual care to students who can’t afford or access religious schools....

Ya, this is a dumb thing and the satanic temple needs to shut it down.

Mandarbmax ,

There is more to having a good immune system than “don’t be malnourished”

Mandarbmax ,

The guy who actually made one of these and brought it to a Philadelphia keyboard meet up called it a Jeanboard iirc

Mandarbmax ,

Bro polish your mfing helmet. This is embarrassing. The maidens are laughing at you.

Mandarbmax ,

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or a white supremacist the race of his girlfriend

Mandarbmax ,

The USPTO already has lower fees for “micro entities” as it calls regular people and small businesses. Still too expensive for regular people and too cheap for mega corps but they do have different fee tiers.

Mandarbmax ,

That is because Philadelphians all drink blood and we’re the inspiration for 13th century vampire myths.

tells you to do a thing

immediately calls the thing he just told you to do dumb

Mandarbmax ,

This is a great game! It consumed me until I finished it and it has such great vibes. Not a long or replay able game but oodles of fun while it lasts.

Mandarbmax ,

Ya, people should be forces to move away from their family and friends and home by insane cost of living and instead of sympathy we should just expect them to single handedly solve an entire fucked up economic system.

FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists (unicornriot.ninja)

A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American...

Mandarbmax ,

Yes but antifa is anti fascist.

Calling antifa a terrorist organization because in another universe an organization sharing the name could be bad is like banning ice cream because it could be made out of maggots.

Mandarbmax ,

An anarchist group is authoritarian? What are you smoking.

Near-Future file type concept "Digital Memory" (lemmy.world)

This is an idea I’ve been toying with for a bit. There is a ton of media that includes unimportant information that doesn’t need to be stored pixel perfect. Storing large portions of the image data as text will save substantial amounts of storage, and as the reality of on-device image generation becoming commonplace sets in...

Mandarbmax ,

Op, please patent it so no other company can use it for the next 20 years

Mandarbmax ,

This is a really cool idea. Other posters here have explained why it isn’t a good idea, but I still think it is neat. Maybe there is a niche edge case use for such a thing? If nothing else it is very scifi

Mandarbmax ,

Oh man, I had thought you were being ironic above lol

Mandarbmax ,

I haven’t seen such blatant victim blaming for a while

Mandarbmax ,

Lmao, I am sorry you are being down voted. This is funny

Mandarbmax ,

I would be pretty mad if my search result turned up a 1 year old human’s babbling too. AI babbling doesn’t get a pass either.

Mandarbmax ,

Fuck, wish I had known about this a month ago before I paid out the ass for my shot. Oh well.

Doing good work helping other people not get screwed like me lol.

Mandarbmax ,

If I wanted an Ai to hallucinate up bullshit I’d ask it myself.

Mandarbmax ,

GO TO A DOCTOR AS SOON AS YOU CAN, BROTHER. YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT AND YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY CARE ABOUT YOU!! GO KICK CANCER"S ASS SO YOU CAN CELEBRATE BY CRACKING OPEN UP A COLD ONE WITH THE BOYS AND

HOGGGGGG!!!ONE!!!, 1!

US patent professional here

Ya, saying it isn’t possible to do under patent law is no understatement. Even making the patent applications possible to allow would require changes to 35 U. S. C. 112 (A, and probably also B), 35 U. S. C. 101. This all assumes that all authors would have the time and money and energy to file a patent, which even with a good attorney is analogous to is many many hours of work and filing pro se would be like writing a whole new book. After the patent is allowed the costs of continuation applications to account for changes in the process as the author learns and grows would be a hellish burden. After this comes the 20 year lifespan of a patent (assuming all maintenance fees are paid, which is quite the assumption, those are not cheap) at which point the patent protections are dead and the author needs to invent a new process to be protected. Don’t even get me started on enforcing a patent.

Patent law is fundamentally flawed to be sure but even if every author gets infinite money and time to file patents with then the changes needed to patent law to let them do so would leave patent law utterly broken for other purposes.

Using patent law for this is a good idea to bring up but for the above reasons I don’t think it is viable at all. It would be better and more realistic to have congress change copyright law than to change patent law I think. Sadly, I don’t think that is particularly likely either. :(

Mandarbmax ,

I don’t know if I would say more broken, at least patents have limits on how long they can exist for, putting an upper bound on how much damage they can cause. The again, limiting the production of vaccines during a pandemic is a lot more urgent than letting people do micky mouse cartoons so the standard for what broken is has to be a lot more stringent. It is more important for patent law to not be broken than it is for copyright law so the same amount of brokenness feels worse with patents.

Mandarbmax ,

They could and imho (I’m not an expert on this) they probably should. This would fall under unfucking copyright though, or perhaps under a new thing along side copyright and patent law (though that sounds like more work than updating copyright law). Amending it into patent law would be the toughest option. The simple answer as to why I think that is that the vibes are off.

As a rough analogy it would be like combating public flashers by changing the rules for the department of transportation rather than the criminal justice system (ignoring how fucked the criminal justice system is).

“Has gone through thousand of change of seasons” just doesn’t have the same ring to it

China Eastern Airlines to buy 100 C919 planes, aircraft's largest ever order (www.reuters.com)

China Eastern Airlines (600115.SS) said on Thursday it will buy another 100 C919 airplanes in a deal worth $10 billion at list prices, in what would be the largest ever order for the jet made by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC)....

Mandarbmax ,

Why would these planes drop like bricks?

Mandarbmax ,

I wonder why low wage workers have such low wages, Mr. Unions-shouldn’t-strike-so-hard?

If only? There was a? Way? To?? Help raise? Wages???

Makes u think

Real talk here, a lack of union power is why people have such shit wages and scabs just undermine union power more and keep wages low by letting companies ignore union demands.

Mandarbmax ,

The funny part is the spamming of it as if it is funny. The humor comes from subverting the idea that a joke should be funny. It is a sort of modern art version of a joke.

I totally get why you don’t like it though and I wish I had a solution for you other than block all memes communities for the next month. Good luck, bro.

Also, I dig your username. Good movie.

Mandarbmax ,

Is it bad that I want one of those? It is so weird!

Mandarbmax ,

Nuclear should absolutely be part of the picture. That being said, nuclear does a bad job scaling up for peak demands over base load. Better than solar or wind for sure but not good enough. For a fossil fuel free world we do need energy storage. Luckily pumped water energy storage is pretty viable.

Mandarbmax ,

Figure out a way to implement capitalism without creating genocides through imperialism and we can talk. Until then, that is a major problem requiring a solution, and ignoring it makes people look blind.

Mandarbmax ,

How about Israel & Palestine and Saudi Arabia & Yemen? Or does it not count if the capitalism is in the middle east and it is just sparkling shitty economic systems then?

If so then look no further than the USA in south east Asia with agent orange or does it not count because it was done during a totally justified and noble war?

Then take a look at the 20,000 migrants who have died trying to cross the Mediterranean in the last decade or so while the European authorities turn a blind eye to mass drownings.
