I'll just say this...remember the username for later. She's been around for awhile posting a ton of (perhaps fictional) personal information, though I think most of the posts were deleted.

Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes, search under way ( www.reuters.com )

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....

The Israeli government isn't exactly known for their subtly... UNLESS.... They've deliberately been shit at hiding it before so this time everyone would assume it couldn't have been them....Netanyahu is a stable genius playing 4D chess...!

Hey writers, please shut the fuck up about the standing ovations already. When every movie gets one, it's not good headline material.

(Not criticizing you, OP)

glimse ,

It's easy to reach out for clarity but if mods did that for every post that seemed spammy, it'd be a full time (unpaid) job. Remember that your post is an outlier, spammy-sounding posts are usually spam. I wouldn't take it personally.

glimse ,

You have misinterpreted what happened.

You were not told you aren't permitted to introduce yourself... Your post was removed because it was mistakenly flagged by an Automatic Moderation bot (AutoMod) as spam.

Please reconsider taking the actions of an algorithm personally or at the very least, don't anthropomorphize the bot - its behavior is code, it doesn't have an attitude

Oh, it seems the mistake was mine for assuming you were a human with autism and not an LLM

Recently?

Tech has always been about pushing boundaries. And that's not a bad thing

glimse ,

Maybe those pages should find a new platform that's not owned by Meta

glimse ,

Ok then.

I don't necessarily disagree with the comic but why ask fediverse users to remember to go visit Facebook/Instagram pages if they're evil?

glimse ,

The solution is for people to stop using the platform, not regularly check in with it. The messaging is totally backwards here.

Creators need to leave those sites. This just encouraging people to give Meta more analytics and ad revenue.

Host your own. bruh.........

But there's a big red arrow pointing to the obvious. Isn't that enough to convince you it's worth watching...?

    But surely you're aware how played out that joke is?

    glimse ,

    Twitter was great and I think anyone who thinks otherwise either curated it to be awful or didn't really use it at all. Your Twitter experience was defined by who you followed. There was sports Twitter, political Twitter, science Twitter, weird Twitter...there were thousands of different spheres to put yourself in.

    If you followed political accounts...yeah you set yourself up for a toxic experience. But I followed funny people so my experience was great. A seemingly endless series of one liners, comics, and weird observations.

    glimse ,

    Twitter was no worse in that regard than any social media site until the 2016 election.

    glimse ,

    It got worse but it didn't become a truly toxic cesspool until Elmo bought it.

    It's not like the majority of the site was toxic, either. It was THE site for science, comedy, music, and a bunch of other interests until recently. It's like picking a couple shitty instances/communities we have here and declaring the entirety of the fediverse a toxic cesspool.

    Rumor: Deadlock. Next Valve game. Previously known as Neon Prime, Citadel. Competitive third person hero-based shooter. 6 vs 6 battling on huge map with 4 lanes. Usable abilities and items. ( twitter.com )

    Deadlock. Next Valve game. Previously known as Neon Prime, Citadel. Competitive third person hero-based shooter. 6 vs 6 battling on huge map with 4 lanes. Usable abilities and items. Tower defense mechanics. Fantasy setting mixed with steampunk. Magicians, weird creatures and robots. Fast travel using floating rails, similar to...

    glimse ,

    Trend?? Competitive shooters have been around forever and never went away. What are you talking about

    glimse ,

    So that's just a couple of games over the past decade.

    And TF2 is definitely a class-based team shooter. So was Team Fortress Classic.

    glimse ,

    What I'm saying is that zombie games, open world, and battle royals were big trends but class-based shooters have always been around. The uptick in titles after overwatch's success happened for sure, but they were still too few and far between to really be a trend

    Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

    The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

    glimse ,

    Buddy, I don't even believe me.

    glimse ,

    This was true for a brief period but the podcast bubble popped a decade ago

    The artist's name is cropped out so I can't even go see when it was made...hopefully not recently

    HMMMM DO I WANT THE GUY THAT ISN'T GOING TO STOP OUR SLIDE TO FASCISM or the guy who is going to accelerate it??

    It's such a tough choice! I don't know what to do! Maybe I should just not vote so the second guy has a better chance???

    glimse ,

    Doesn't this kind of imply taking a swing at it will result in serious bodily injury?

    glimse ,

    I guess you might as well have fun for 5 seconds before you die!

    Should I worry about referencing other people's code?

    Thanks to the current SEO nightmare, I can no longer use search engines the same reliability as before. Stackoverflow is too toxic and often all I need is to properly look up some more obscure stuff about some API, which "could just be googled". AI, of course, is very unreliable....

    glimse ,

    (I oftentimes add notes to where I took config bits even in my private my-eyes-only repos to have some breadcrumbs).

    I'm not much of a coder anymore (and even then, it was self-taught hobby projects) but this is soooo good to do aside from just giving credit. I'd leave comments "I learned about this from here: (link)" so I could go back and reference it later.

    I made a simple batch script to generate project folders at work and then a year later our standards changed....I would have had to start from scratch if not for the links I left because I forgot everything I learned

    glimse ,

    I had such high hopes for that game and was perfectly ok with it being a straight L4D clone with updated graphics. Unfortunately, they did not copy the parts of L4D that made it really fun and replayable.

    I don't know what they were thinking with that pvp mode. We played a round or two after beating the campaign and that was the last night my group played. Really disappointing.

    glimse ,

    I actually kinda liked the deck system...the idea of it anyway. I didn't love picking the cards while playing, though.

    glimse ,

    Do the melody on vocaroo

    https://vocaroo.com/

    glimse ,

    That sounds familiar...but the first song coming to mind is not very similar (and also newer - "Pretty In Possible" by Caroline Polachek)

    It'll think more about it today

    glimse ,

    As I was preparing to lock up my bike, a thief ran up behind me and grabbed it! I chased him down and threw the bike into the river to reclaim my stolen property.

    glimse ,

    Ok so I'm not saying it looks GOOD but....wow, this car is so much less ugly in black.

    I have even less respect for people who buy the plain silver knowing this is an option.

    glimse ,

    I looked it up before commenting because I thought the same thing and it seems Tesla started offering it as an option late last year

    https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-color-paint-film

    glimse ,

    I was a little surprised because I've never seen one before. I had two snarky comments lined up depending on if it was first or third party lol

    glimse ,

    What about the aesthetic reminds you of N64? If it was light gray I'd definitely agree but it just looks industrial to me.

    glimse ,

    Ah fair enough, it does indeed look like it belongs in Mario 64 or something. I was only picturing the console itself for some reason

    glimse ,

    Hating olives is pretty common. So yeah, it would fit right in there!

    glimse ,

    I wanted to like that more than I did because I can't stand Bill Maher but it's a 7 minute video and only 2 minutes was them talking. And of that 2 minutes, like 30 seconds we're about Gaza.

    And in that 30 seconds, Burr didn't "unload" anything. Maher says college kids are pro-Hamas, burr says they're pro-palestine, maher says that's the same thing, and burr doesn't even push back. Then they move on and Burr makes fun of him for being a know-it-all.

    glimse ,

    Yeah I don't recommend watching it. Kinda feels like I wasted 7 minutes there

    glimse ,

    I don't think that's fair. It's Bill Burr...his "response" was to instantly drop it and move on to Ukraine. It would have been a tame response from Joe Pera, let alone Bill Burr

    I expected him to explode like he often does in the face of insolence based on the title and hype from the hosts but his insult wasn't even related to Maher's opinion on Gaza. I'm less disappointed in Burr than I am the hosts for making a 7 minute video about it

    glimse ,

    It's easy. Do what the other commenter said and break them before opening. They suggest in half, I prefer in thirds. Then after you eat the solid pieces you dump the crumbs into your mouth. If they made them less crumbly, I don't think they'd be as good.

    glimse ,

    I'm all for reduxcing packaging but...ewww I'm not eating these from an unsealed box. Bugs love the crumbs....I can imagine they'd love the full bars, too. Not to mention rodents.

    The box would have to be fully resealable, too, or they'd be gross so they'd need to replace the cardboard with plastic

    glimse ,

    Too risky. I'd rather have bite size pieces than try to catch the crumbs in the tiny wrapper

    glimse ,

    To make them not turn to dust in transit, they'd need to be in a hard shell sleeve wrapped in plastic like Oreos...and they'd still likely get crushed a bit.

    I'm not a packaging engineer but that seems like more plastic with little added benefit

    glimse ,

    Its not a bad school, my cousin went there and he's a very successful engineer. But he didn't go there for sports

    glimse ,

    That's pretty much Vaudeville. The only things you can do is click on locations and talk to people, each of whom has some bit of information you need to figure out.

    It's basically an experiment to see what works and what doesn't with the idea. I appreciate that they kept the scope small (no quests, no WASD movement) and have been implementing changes as they discover the shortfalls (like the ones I've mentioned). If it ever does get released as a finished game, it'll be more like a proof of concept for other games to build off of.

    glimse ,

    Nah because then you actually have to talk to them at lunch

    glimse ,

    I don't mind those unless I'm busy...but I'll make time if it's a topic I'm into.
