I’m still curious how Google coding to have all Pixels come with a Google search bar embedded in the home screen that both can’t be removed and can’t be changed to another search engine, isn’t a clear case of antitrust violation... Is it because Pixel has such a low market share? Is it because they argue that someone…
It’s not search queries failing, so much as getting less functional. Just last night, searching for a specific cycling apparel company - the first few links were all “sponsored” (meaning, click these and the company has to pay Google a fee), including for the company I was looking for (but, oddly, not the first…
Here’s a fun fact. If you search “African countries starting with K”, the Google snippet is from a random forum website, and states that there is, in fact, no country in Africa that starts with K.
There is perfectly reasonable explanation for this, and even a term. Enshittification.
Sonic Frontiers looked and felt like a game that was created in Dreams. Or one of those Unreal 5 tech demos you saw on YouTube.
I don’t know if Sonic fans gaslit themselves into saying Frontiers was the return to form or what, but from what I played, it was incredibly boring.
Almost every time Mario does something new, the new works. Almost every time Sonic does something new, the new doesn’t work.
It looks like Disney has prematurely shot its wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you will, so it looks like they have something of a mess on their hands.
It’s an Australian galaxy.
That’s an incredibly dumb way to look at it. AI being unable to write a decent script NOW is exactly why it is so important to make sure it is not allowed to write scripts in the future. AI will continue to improve as the years go on and if you wait for the day when AI can write decent scripts, it will be too late,…
When their unions strike, our union will stand with them. The bosses want you to pretend this is about “all the people.” It’s not. It’s about cheating actors and writers. Labor stands together.
Really, I had no idea that she even had a show, much less rely on it to get through difficult times.
The utter hubris of thinking/believing that your show, and your ‘content’ is so compelling that it just has to be made–without any regard for the people in the industry as a whole that make it possible–is reprehensible. The self-absorption alone is just stunning.
She rebranded herself as an empathetic flower child. And people fell for it. Why? It’s not a secret that she’s from a famous family of actors. She’s got the role of a lifetime and isn’t about to loosen her grip on that bag. Fuck every one who needs the power of collective bargaining to get anywhere close to a decent…
There are no accidental discharges. Just ask any gun owner who haven’t murdered someone.
A tragic incidence of this chestnut:
“...argued over dinner at a restaurant...”
“He was arrested and swiftly released on $1 million bail”
He seems a pretty obvious danger to others and himself, so the only reason I can see to allow him to post bail at all would be that they hope he finishes the job and spares everyone the expense of a trial.
