Outrage is a social media staple, it's not just Lemmy.

I think I heard about it actually, it's the issue where people make up shit on the spot online to confirm their biases

Daddy Druckmann must subsist on meals of mainstream praise and developer crunch, how else would Daddy Druckmann survive.

True but sometimes the tortilla rips open and the foil provides solid backup

That's one of the reasons wrestling fans prefer the term scripted or staged as opposed to fake. It still requires tons of athleticism, and lots of wrestlers are still taking very real hits and injuries despite trying to minimize the impacts of them.

It's simultaneously possible to realize that something is useful while also recognizing the damage that its trend is causing from a sustainability standpoint, and that neither realization particularly demonstrates a lack of understanding about AI.

My fear is that Google is going to succeed in using this as an excuse to unilaterally destroy the free web like they've already been trying with attestation.

But the modern web really does suck. I'm not sure how to fix it without corporate influence.

I hate the current tech industry in general tbh

Larian has had several massively successful Kickstarter

Well that's the thing though, right, the genre actually literally had a major revival when Kickstarter became a thing. Before Kickstarter existed no one really understood the power of crowdsourcing.

I think even for people that have studied a fair bit of math a lot of it is difficult to parse. Which I guess is fair. An encyclopedia is meant to be a reference and summary of knowledge, not necessarily a teaching tool. I think it still makes an alright guidepost for something, which I can then use to find learning materials.

The math only really works for 18+ inch pizzas though. The pizza places around me don't even offer 18 inch pizzas. 14" large or 16" XL are the highest they go. In that case at most places near me, two twelves is often cheaper per square inch and does have more area than one 14" or 16". Especially since Domino's usually has coupons for two 12s that make it significantly cheaper than 1 L or XL.

The weird thing is, I'm not sure any customers actually do care. it genuinely just feels like engineers finding ways to masturbate over how thin they can get something.
