That’s when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind

I was once permabanned from there due to a meta thread discussing pizzacake related mass bans, where literally all I said in my comment was to point out the existence of a tool to see what comments have been removed and evaluate for yourself what is happening. Had previously blocked pizzacake in an effort to avoid all the drama in the comments under her comics but it wasn’t enough. Fortunately I am now banned from reddit entirely and no longer have to worry about these things, at least lemmy has modlogs.

Blocking people who happen to post a category of thing you don’t want to see is a really bad solution especially on a smaller platform, the lack of options here is an actual problem

AFAIK, getting actual money into and more importantly, out of Crypto, to pay for things like food, not to mention picking one, is “non-trivial”.

Yes, but it is achievable. Routing around financial censorship is one of the things crypto is good at, because the rest of the financial system is designed to support people being cut off from its use at the whims of payment providers and governments.

Being the only blurred thing in the area seems a little conspicuous though

My guess is they figure it will make little difference due to network effects, and by making this exception they can remove a meaningful source of political resistance to the change. If the vast majority of users are running operating systems that declare underage status, then websites and apps will be able to use those signals to sidestep legal liability for actually doing anything meaningful to protect underage users, and new laws can be passed that assume the use of those signals is possible. That it isn’t 100% doesn’t change that very much.

Perhaps intentional as a way to illustrate vibe crash from suddenly getting too high

Getting good at reading bad code does seem like a worthwhile skill

CTRL+click

Oh hey it works, thanks.

Might want to throw a cheap rice cooker in there to avoid the inevitable mishap from anon’s likely unfamiliarity with operating a stovetop

How? I’m using vscodium. There are right click menus that bring you to function definitions and uses, but that isn’t necessarily faster than scrolling around and is still way more friction and more stuff you can’t see to hold in your short term memory.

IDEs also have collapse/expand features which make nested or longer functions easier to navigate.

Early returns seems good, but personally I find code more confusing when things get arbitrarily separated out into functions, because to read it you have to keep scrolling back and forth between different parts of the page and either remembering where the other part is or typing a lot with ctrl-f, there’s more variables to hold results, and if the section of code to be separated into a function is picked just because of nesting depth reasons then it’s likely the function name isn’t going to describe what it does very clearly, leading to more scrolling and more having to keep track of things in your head.

Yeah, I am noticing that when I sort by ratio the stuff at the top I mostly didn’t like that much

I also watch and like that channel, it definitely has a bias and affinity, but IMO it is well researched and does a good job of explaining that perspective and the rationale behind it as opposed to just reciting talking points. I liked the most recent video about the threat of permanent dystopias, even though I don’t agree with some of the implicit assumptions it’s making about the nature of the problem (Rationalist stuff leans neoliberal). It’s fun and probably important to think about the long term future of humanity in an analytical way, sci-fi style.

2018 is closer to 2012 than it is to 2026. Maybe anon has a girlfriend by now.

That also means there’s very little in the way of moderation.

I think this is more down to the mindset of the community of people who use it, than it is the fault of the technical design, which does go beyond just relying on private keys for identity, and could absolutely work out systems for effective moderation. But the Nostr community is mainly Bitcoin maxi libertarians, so maybe they just won’t.

Of Nostr? It’s an activitypub alternative, not a cryptocurrency, it doesn’t run on a blockchain

“Saw the very first cutscene, before any gameplay, and how the generative AI they used couldn’t even keep the main character’s model consistent,” reads the “most helpful” Steam review for Vapor World. “From the trailers the gameplay looked pretty fun [but] unfortunately I support people not robots. If the look you want to go for is beyond the scope you can achieve right now then I suggest you change it or wait until you can produce the art and style you want with people doing it.”

That’s pretty representative of the Steam reviews at the moment: Vapor World is currently sitting on 64 “mostly negative” reviews.

Can you leave a steam review and then refund a game? Otherwise how are so many people making the mistake of buying it when other reviews are already saying it has their dealbreaker issue of having used AI (that’s apparently obvious as soon as the first cutscene)?

It has a third leg that is a baseball?

What are ways to tell in advance if someone is going to scan your id vs just looking at it? They don’t normally disclose that they are going to do that right?

Anon should have said chemistry class instead of math class, those have slick floors and sometimes eyewash stations with no drain
