    I have Google TV on my Sony TV and found that I was able to disable the ads and crap. There was a setting to toggle. They tried to make it unattractive by saying I wouldn't be able…

    Ad-blockers still work fine on the site tho, you're paying Google money for no good reason. Money of which only a small part goes to the creators. If you actually want to support t…

    There is some talk that YT are making it such that trying to seek will not skip the ad.

    Just your usual internet attention seeking I guess. Narcissism is a powerful stimulant ;-)

    I really don't think Sam needs more encouragement, thanks. Also, if this is your definition of magic then...yeah...

    Oh really? So when some local newspaper reports about some random old person in an old-age home that's political? Please, take this destructive attitude and reassess it. Not all th…

    Interesting post, honestly feels like the NFT cult: Discord full of true believers, leader with wildly optimistic takes on everything, nonsensical profit model. I will say, however…

    This is why I preferred Shadow Warrior 2 to Borderlands. Millions of randomly generated guns sounds nice, except they're mostly trash. I'd rather have the 70 hand-crafted options i…

    Early 3d generally hasn't aged as well, probably due to extremely low resolution textures and so forth.

    Ah yes, 24gb top-of-the-line GPUs, I happen to have a whole warehouse full. /s

    Nonsense. Nintendo bring this in themselves with their own policies. There are so many hardware platforms I can support, and one that hardly ever does sales and refuses to bring th…

    Right...because requiring developers to actually grasp the code they're outputting is gatekeeping. If you want to pretend the rush to AI won't lead to more incompetent chefs in the…

    You're both right and wrong. Corporations and governments do consist of people and people do care...but it's also the case the being a cog in a large organization does have a tende…

    Fun fact, I generated an image for Homo Sapiens a few hours ago (After trying white man, black man and neanderthal with no success) and was greeted with someone that looked very mu…

    Another solution in search of a problem... Unless the problem is Apple fans having too much disposable income, in which case I guess this is an excellent solution XD

    Right, but did anyones attempts to contact emergency services get affected in this case? I'm guessing not. No matter how you paint it, this was probably rather excessive on the par…

    The heck are you on about? Have you ever tried to "train a human"? They don't work that way, not unless your "training" involves so weird torture stuff you probably shouldn't be bo…

    I dunno, I worked with Qt5 and Qt6 recently and creating a UI felt pretty fast and smooth to me (Much more so than the last time I did frontend web work anyway) That said, I've nev…

    I think your kid analogy is flawed because it ignores the fact that you couldn't reasonably use said "kid" to rapidly produce thousands of works in the same style and then go on to…
