Yup, sounds great to me. I could see a world in which it becomes a bad thing because they try to enforce it by pulling a Google and blocking users from installing extensions that aren’t through their official add-on store, but as it is, it’s hard to see any reasonable criticism.

No, you’re thinking of “nonfungiable”. Nonfungible is when something cannot be broken or shattered.

idk, why do they start selling Hot Cross Buns on Boxing Day?

While extraordinarily distasteful, I decidedly prefer the idea of a pedophile using one of these distinctly-not-abusive dolls instead of practicing their sexuality on an actual child

I’ve heard arguments both ways, and frankly I don’t know which is better supported by evidence. One, that things like this, AI CSAM, etc. might provide a safe outlet for people with paedophilia, and the other is that it can encourage them and act as a “gateway drug” of sorts. It’s an area that I assume the experts are already doing/have already done research on, and I’ll defer to them because I don’t really want to investigate too much further. It may even be the case that some substitutes work well and others don’t.

Scotty said “effect” (presumably meaning “affect”), which is true. If China’s illegal claims over the South China Sea were recognised, it would have massive impacts on trade throughout the entire region. The fact that they’re claiming Vietnamese, Filipino, and Malaysian territory, and not specifically Australian, doesn’t make Scotty’s comment wrong.

The entire world of home IoT devices shouldn’t need an Internet connection. They should be able to work entirely based off of local network requests or other local connections (e.g. Zigbee or Thread).

edit2: actually looking at the first pic again that footpath isn’t bricks; that’s the shadow from the railing; it’s just concrete

Yeah I noticed that too after writing my own comment. But still, the railing sits on a big concrete foundation, and it’s pretty clearly right on the water. Near Mrs Macquarie’s Chair the railing doesn’t have the metal wire, doesn’t sit on the concrete foundation, and is notably raised up above the water.

I don’t think I had seen him in anything before 99. But he really was great. Top 2 moments for me are the rant about etymology in The Box, and “yas queen” when he pulls the “gay card”.

I binged this show like 3 or 4 times in one year shortly after it ended. It’s been a while since I’ve watched it. I really need to go again, because it’s so great. The whole cast is amazing, but Andre Braugher especially just brings another level. RIP.

I have no rational argument, but it feels like buffalo chicken is the top one. The bottom is a chicken buffalo.

I’m embarrassed to say that for me it took until the H in Human. It’s clearly an “It”. Which, considering how incredibly meticulous the rest of the sign was (itself quite suspicious in retrospect) is very jarring and out-of-place. The fact that the H is transformed not just into mess, but into a perfect rendition of two other valid characters is a very AI type of mistake to make.

There’s also, in retrospect, the question of where the photo was taken from. The photo shows an angle of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge that I don’t think is possible, especially when you add in that brick footpath and metal railing. It resembles, perhaps, parts of the railing from Circular Quay, which is west of the Opera House, and thus cannot show both Opera House and Bridge in the same photo. The angle appears to be from near Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, but here’s what the view looks like there:

There’s also something just a bit “off” about the whole text. It looks digitally super-imposed. I’d be prepared to believe it was Photoshopped in over a blank board (or a board with a different message) even if it isn’t AI, long before I’d believe it’s 100% genuine.

It’s set in Sydney Harbour and it’s so Shit I can smell it here in Gosford

No offence, but in the grand scheme of things, that’s…not very far.

Still, I can smell it here in Brisbane. Which is still not that far on a global scale, but it’s a fair bit further. (Brisbane the city, that is, not the Brisbane Water that Gosford sits on.)

I don’t know anything about this Ratchet & Clank game, but as far as old mobile tie-ins to existing console franchises go, I remember 2006’s Daxter being really good.

Ludo? I haven’t played that since I was a tiny kid! I can’t say I remember much about how it’s played.

they are suing and therefore need to provide prove

What are they suing for? Defamation? Truth is a defence to defamation. That is: you need to prove that what you said was true. Burden of proof is not on the defamed.

If untrue (or not proven to be true) the burden of proof is (usually—see: defamation per se) on the plaintiff to prove that the statement was actually damaging to them. But that’s a separate issue from the truth.

I understand the argument in favour of dangling commas, but oh gods I hate it. Aesthetically it’s just so awful.

Based only on my reading of this article, the ABC would permit calling the place “Palestine”, for example saying “Gaza is part of Palestine” (geography) or that a person being interviewed/talked about is “from Palestine” (community). SBS would not.

Only one of these genocides is receiving direct military support from western countries. That is why westerners are so concerned with it, and you know that.
