The skill of Nintendo, as game developers, is unparalleled. They produce some of the most incredible games of any generation.

Nintendo, the company, however, are soulless corporate monsters learning all the worst lessons from Disney. Especially nowadays.

Why the hell is anyone taking this seriously?

I'm in the US, but through cultural osmosis, ginger in the UK context is in my vocabulary. I think things like this are going to coalesce, slowly.

So when I went through all of them last night and found a surprising amount of functionality, especially in the Photoshop clone, I was just imagining it?

What a bizarre response to this.

I don't think cron can write code. Jokes aside, I suppose you could just alternate between two lines of code and just publish alternating patch versions. What a stupid situation, fuck Google.

Well I can appreciate continued VR development is it good thing in general, you couldn't fucking pay me to use anything from Facebook/Meta at this point. They need to be starved of attention until their doors close for good.

Given the reputation, who the hell is the audience for this crap?
Who gives a shit? It can call itself the king of Norway for all I care as long as things get done correctly. If you're suggesting this is causing excessive token usage or something I think that's a bit exaggerated.

It's just might be the first negative word I've heard about it. I saw it opening weekend and it was a blast. Not groundbreaking, Roger Rabbit style, but a strangely wholesome, funny flick.

Who the fuck's brilliant idea was that? I swear to god our collective IQ is in the toilet.
I don't think you need to be so specific about it. It's more about the overall goal: weakening the United States as much as possible. And if that means embroiling them in a pointless war and wearing down their stockpiles... Well, you can see how that would be advantageous.
The demonizing of devices like this as "pervert glasses" incredibly fucking juvenile and obnoxious. We're going to throw out an entire concept because a handful of scumbags abuses them. This isn't serious discussion, this is just mobs of imbeciles running around with pitchforks.
As long as it's achieved in the manner that you approve of, of course.
Who are you to dictate what somebody enjoys? Don't worry about it. Do you.

Capitalism will make you as happy as necessary to ensure that you continue buying. No more no less.

I find this seriously underestimates what jackets 6 will undertake for fun, even unpaid.

Did the app work?
Can't wait!
Or, considering you're already considerable markup, you could just make a little less money on each one... HAHAHA I'm just fucking with you Apple.
I use Pi and Qwen 3.6 27b locally on a 4090 for all my personal projects. I still use Claude for day job work since they pay for it, and my employer expects me to use it. I rarely touch it otherwise.
I remember when "Facebook Gold" used to be a joke.

It's my daily driver, so I kind of twitched a bit saying that list in here. I never noticed because I was using it anyway, I guess.

This is really good. I'm going to adopt this I think. Yoink! ;)
Nothing like ignoring the spirit of the thing by turning it from one line to nearly a dozen.
Re:Bun support is now limited and deprecated on Saturday May 23, 2026 @10:21AM (#48247974)
It's a bit of a contradiction. We understand that AI can be used usefully, and to great effect. But if someone else uses it, it's a potential liability.

I think the issue is, we understand our own usage of it, and respect the boundaries of what's possible and what needs to be done to use these tools properly.

But we don't know how the other guy is using it.

We don't know if they're being responsible, and using it in a safe manner.

If they are: great. But if they aren't, we're opening ourselves up to all kinds of security shenanigans.

It's one of those things where we're only going to be okay with it, if we're the ones using it. But that also means other people will be suspect of our code.

It's really a no win scenario, except for inside each of own little bubbles.

Re:No Slop Grenade on Thursday May 21, 2026 @04:37PM (#48228566)
That's how I'm finding I feel, too. It's not that I don't use LLMs myself, but I trust myself enough to know how to filter that data that comes back from them and compare it to actual facts. I don't necessarily know the processing of this information from the other person, to trust that they vet the information properly. So instead of it being helpful to me, it becomes incredibly irritating. Especially because I just know they're going to expect me to take that data at face value quite often. And then it's going to be on me to vet the data. How about you just let me get the data myself and cut out the middleman?
