I'm not using text-to-speech engines, I am bad at writing all by myself

  • Concerning industry: That's the site of STELS bike producer claiming it's certified as a full-cycle localized producer of bikes: https://stelsbicycle.ru/news-bikes/sertifikat-proiskhozhdeniya-st-1-na-velosipedy-stels/ 20 years ago they were a cheap Walmarts-tier brand with bearable quality for affordable pricing (e.g. frame was not as durable as better brands and soviet monsters), and I haven't looked into them seriously since then if they changed. But, at least before the invasion, lotsa bycicles I either saw or bought had a lot of parts from different brands I also saw discussed on international forums. Nice frame for a daily use was around a monthly wage in a corner shop.

    Concerning usage: It easily catches on where there is a place for it. I was a part of a city's cycling community before, with small marathons and so on, and seen it in other cities too, a few of my collegues commute by them daily. There is not a lot of micromobility-focused infrastructure, places you want to go are usually scattered and you are as afraid of leaving your bike on the street as you do in US I guess. But with introduction of hated but popular electric scooters, I see zoomers starting to use them and bikes more than older gens, and combustion engine no-driving-license/easier-license mopeds dying off completely.

    The latter is probably not even due to the fuel (at the time), but to the import restrictions and tarrifs against foreign cars that were straighten up year over year, making purchasing one and servicing it even more of a challenge that it was before. Car bros in my friend circle frequently discuss buying and cycling through used vehicles or using some gvnmt subsidies to purchase new with a heavy cut. Rarely ever someone considers just going to a dealership and paying a sticker price for it's a waste of money on less respected local cars or a bit more liked chinese SUVs for a pretty big sum. The 00s and 10s when Renault and others had factories there, and their cars were a default deal for most are gone, as well as the idea you need a car at all. People rent cars from the likes of Uber to work in these taxi apps instead of buying a thing.

    My experience is pretty limited since I'm not in the landowner strata and my folks are in lower-to-average bracket, but there I do see scepticism towards buying new cars and sporadic usage of micromobility vehicles, especially in young people.

  • Holy homophobia Batman! It's 1984 and the Big Gay shoves gay frogs down a christian throat! Should've sued his maker for making him a whiney tool with pretty offending vibes of one another cross-cluthing mass shooter.

  • By fedora and odor, all natural.

  • It depends. IIRC some laptops that come with face unlock feature use dual IR cameras to confirm the face is not a flat picture with a bonus of being indifferent to darkness. They need a staring minifig!

  • If we assume the faith of most games gets decided by a board of directors based on a short 10-slides pitch, it's easy to see that videos and screenshots, made up numbers and popular hashtags (openworld, moba, ai) are what lets them be greenlit. Pertnering up with AMD/NVIDIA so they patch drivers for your project alone, so your game at least launches, is pro and not a con.

    EA doesn't have fly wrinkles and we do, with the help of AI, in Betamax 9k MetaHD.

    The only way to get under surface for a tripple A game publishers is test groups, but I don't think this can touch the question of gfx/performance/effort because everything is presented on capable hardware, scenes handcrafted to impress, and it's hard to point out anything about visuals unless they are hella ugly.

  • I thought they did it already, or not them but some other band... Weird. I remember reading about the same LLM-like projection with portraits of people from their crowd + random comments.

  • At times like this I think we can reduce replies to just a link to the Pink Floyd's "The Wall" recording on some non-hostile platform

  • Maybe a separate repo makes sense for the wild West of vibe apps

  • Prison rape jokes are not funny. Jokes about raping trans people are not funny. Mandatory tran (as well as detran) is not funny in the slightest.

    And, for fucks' sake, revenge rhetoric almost always leads to worse outcomes. You can't unrape these girls by ensuring these teens get the same treatment, nor you would shield their peers to fall into victim/agressor roles as this story eventually repeats. There are better ways to think about that rather than having fantasies about someone's else pointless suffering.

  • The features you mention are not stampable but sculpable. This, on the other hand, could be done by a bunch of pre-made forms for further reproduction.

    But for my eyes, the rows deviate too much one from another, so probably a person doing it had a hollow bamboo stick to punch buttons in clay for the middle, and the top one could be done via cutting surface with parallel lines - these dots aren't exactly round and have some angles suggesting diagonal slices. It is pretty and looks clean, and I think undividual artist did it without automating it because the process itself, for an individual foot, is not that time consuming and precise as doing faces etc.

  • I am ashamed of my toilet humor in front of experienced scholars.

  • Is it applicable to Proton in some way? I'm guilty of using less popular and thus less veried cracked software with it so I'd like some level of protection. Can I separately write it in some config file?

  • Well, you know what naturally floats on the surface...

  • My uneducated guess is that it would run inside the prefix but would have troubles with basic Windows dependencies not availiable/running, prefix's folder structure being cut down to the most basic components and barebones, and that nothing actually runs like in Windows but is rather translated from Linux commands to Windows one and back? Meaning there's no processes or services like in a VM, no way to run cmd or powershell scripts, nothing to steal without leaving containment? Am I wrong somewhere?

    I recall there was a wave of dread about Proton leaving host system easily accessible and not implementing any security measures as they are out of scope, but if we assume it's a virus targeting Windows, I'm half sure it would have troubles doing anything the usual way.

  • Also, them putting that level of abstraction, - buying a key, not the box - makes it look even more shady. They intentionally add another step to deny liability and comparison to traditional gambling. And, being not gambling per law, they are npt even controlled by the regulation existing for gambling machines, e.g. distribution of loosing and winning outcomes.

  • The comic show the incoherent ramblings of the guy who strongly influences the oil economy in the world, so picking alternatives small and big is a must.
