Hello!
I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

I don’t know if this is hilarious or pathetically sad. AI has become the current “must have” craze in the tech world and it’s baffling watching every company try and find a way to shoehorn some form of it into their products and then try and justify its existence.
Cerence Chat Pro from technology partner Cerence Inc. is the foundation of the new function, which offers a uniquely intelligent, *automotive-grade *ChatGPT integration.
Why the hell would I want this?
It really needs to be more socially acceptable to name and shame people that allow their cats to roam free outdoors. I’d also like to see some changes to pet ownership laws to prohibit/discourage it as well. A cat found outside a home (and not on a leash or in an enclosed cage) should immediately bring considerable financial repercussions down on the owner as well as removal of the cat from their “care”. If I get caught killing wild animals with my own hands (especially protected ones) then I am legally in deep shit, yet cat owners can get away with it with impunity. They’re basically letting a super predator roam free to slaughter wildlife while also putting it in incredible danger from other predators or cars.
People that let their cats roam outdoors are absolutely fucking atrocious pet owners and should be treated as such.
The title made me think they were responding to users that needed customer support, but no. This:
Meanwhile, when another user lamented the amount of loading screens, the support team replied imploring the reviewer to “consider the amount of data for the expansive gameplay that is procedurally generated to load flawlessly in under three seconds”.
is just pathetic. This is nothing more than low-effort damage control. Which, funnily enough, is rather fitting for Starfield in general. It’s not a terrible game but it absolutely fell flat on its face on its biggest selling points. Procedural exploration will always have drawbacks but No Man’s Sky absolutely smashes Starfield in this department and it came out nearly 8 years ago and made by a team a fraction of the size. And I don’t expect Bethesda to put in the same effort as Hello did and make Starfield live up to its promises
This gets asked every time Tumblr is mentioned online. It’s still around and has a large, thriving userbase. It’s one of the last slices of old-school internet that exists today and, because of that, is very resistant to modern monetisation tactics and enshittification which makes shareholders cry in their sleep.
They’re cheap. That’s as far as some people think about it.
I feel like
Yes. Especially when it’s only like 2 or 3 years after first release. It’s just double dipping at that point.
I feel for those who have had Twitter be such a part of their income but the writing is on the wall for the platform and it’s time to start looking for alternatives. Xitter is going to be circling the drain soon if it isn’t already and there is nothing Muskrat will do to correct that.
Gotta double-dip for more profit.
Bison steak. I’m not a steak person so it was likely wasted on me.
This is a taste of what you can achieve when regulatory bodies actually have the guts to stand up to megacorps.
I… can’t remember! It was a while ago and I’ve since cleared them off my Deck D:
Had a good playthrough of Dishonoured 2 and Death of the Outsider on my Deck. They run extremely well on the Steam Deck and I found a control layout that I liked.
I have absolutely zero confidence that Apple will allow this to exist once they get enough wind of it.
This. Twitter is now under ownership and control of a spoiled fascist richboy and this is absolutely 100% transparently clear. This is how the platform is now and it is not going to change. Twitter as we knew it is gone. It’s dead and not coming back. Move the hell on, people, please. Stop supporting this absolutely wretched waste of oxygen.
You can search my full legal (dead)name online and find absolutely nothing. Not a single picture, mention, or anything even remotely close or even in the same vicinity as me.
Obviously that’s not a benefit to everyone but it is to me and has been achieved by maintaining some level of scrutiny over the information I make available.
I stopped playing ESO years ago after around 10,000 hours of playtime. It’s nice (or perhaps unsurprising) to hear that they still haven’t addressed how badly they messed up the story structure and pacing. Rather than have the expansions be an accessory to the main story and tutorial - they acted as replacements. A game design choice I’m 99.9% sure was made by management and not by any actual dev team. It was a confusing, convoluted mess with only a few expansions but I can’t imagine how bad it is now with even more.
I cannot trust any publication that “reviews” a product like this without taking at least a little time to go over the legitimately harmful business practices against the customer.
I’d never use a Microsoft mail client anyway. I use Thunderbird.
