The Deep Fake Detector probably can't keep up anymore with the recent AI advances.

It is a definitional and logical conclusion that a concept cannot tolerate its anathema and inverse.

This is a pretty good rewording removing ambiguity.

As for my experience seeing this point brought up, its usually to silence a voice, and then this logical statement is equaled to the moral reasoning and justification in one, instead of reasoning inside that case how a "removal" would be required.

What if the other party in question is of the opinion they didn't break it, yet the other claims it has been. Who gets to decide it?

What does nuking a potato mean? Unfamiliar with the slang.

As an individual you can't be expected to do that and there are many good reasons not to do it, as you could suffer from consequences. As part of a society, all of your actions do shape the social environment around you in small ways. But when the interests of you as an individual with those actions of society clash, you do bear the responsibility of what happens in that society. In my opinion this would apply even to those who have worked against unethical actions, because taken for a bigger scope at a nationwide level, it wouldn't be feasible to exclude those from reparations either way. Even if the "good" would get compensated with a lower tax, they will economically feel it either way, as the "bad" around them are still sanctioned. And then the ethical dilemma is what could be considered "good" or "bad" at all.

Now taken this generalized context back to marginalized groups, if everyone would be obligated to be an activist, it would punish those unable to cope with the additional stressors activism could entail. Then, the question is who is actually marginalized and who is not, the rich 1% is a minority, but definitely not in "need". There are people labeling themselves as things which they are not. (Some "leftist queer" folk are more rightwing in their deeds, than actual conservatives.) I also believe those who fight for the rights of those that person itself doesn't belong to, adds nuances, you can quite often see ideological shifts in people depending on their income. Which gives the question on whether a truly fair solution between groups is attainable, and probably an unsolvable optimization problem, so compromises must happen.

Every policy you go for, will eventually have some people discriminated against in some ways or even actively harm them. No matter what your stance on HRT and medical transition is, there will be some people who should not have done it in the first place, or should have to alleviate their gender dissonance. And whatever line you draw in the sand, there will be something wrong with it. Expecting everybody to strictly enforce some kind of policy by activism, is an ethical burden we can't place on an individual, but which we involunatarily bear by its consequence.

This should be illegal. As a person who was once false flagged manually by network attribution. Of course the anti troll flagging network was itself socially destroyed by time and is frequently cause of scandals while nobody cares for me.

Add certain language patterns and political stances and you have an excellent oppressive tool.

The behavior the study is referring to, is actually result of reddit's algorithms and human psychology. Often the contrarian view of whatever the post is about will automatically float to the top, no matter the topic, opinionated, factual or debunking, nature.

Probably signing up with Bluesky, even if slightly off-topic. The lack of algorithms means the only way to swim up is to post everyday at prime time in the hope to catch some exposure. Because quality posts with high interactions with likes will not bubble up from the crowd.

That is probably true, but doesn't mean much when gaming is such a mainstream activity.

tl;dr

"The grass has been cut as short as possible, and loose, dried grass has been removed from affected areas.

"Prior to tomorrow's sessions, the grass will be dampened, and specific response teams will be stationed around the track."

This is on-topic, because it happened at Microsoft's event.

 
 

Edit: Official Riot confirmation the Asus Xonar audio driver is blocked due to a cheating exploit by user Baconspleet who received following statement by official support: "... the driver is indeed blocked by vanguard as it was reportedly being used as a way to cheat. In this case, I'm afraid the only option to have sound in the game is a hardware upgrade, though that is understandably, not ideal."

As Valorant players with all kinds of Asus Xonar sound cards have noticed since the 9.x patch series, the support for these devices has been dropped and the game will no longer function acceptably. After roughly half a minute, the entire system, not just the game, loses its audio output. Reddit user /u/travishenrichs has contacted support and received following statement: "In order to protect the competitive integrity and security of our games, some pieces of hardware are not supported with VALORANT and will not function properly with the game. Having said that, this is something being looked into by our QA team, but I can't provide an ETA at this time."

Since this critical bug is known for half-year, is not fixed by 9.10, it is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon as the doubtful support response suggests. I hope software developers avoid situations such as these to avoid forced obsolescence of hardware devices, as these devices do function correctly on Windows 10 and 11.

 

Happened after the newest Valorant update.

 

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the support and development team for adding third party HRTF support and fixing the primary mouse key issue. They listen and care about their customers (but definitely not the wallets, 100€ skin bundle incoming).

 

Cannot use the online right now, seems Epic Games has trouble and it is not directly the game's servers, as reddit isn't flooded.

Metacritic changed not so long ago their posting format and adopted a microblogging like Twitter with 140 signs stance in that regard. Why was that done? I understand there are different demands between expressing the overall feel towards something in few sentences, but why is even a mid sized review, like many on Steam not welcome anymore? Even 200 words just become a wall of text and sometimes that is needed to express complex feelings.

 

I bought into the sale of MK1, because Epic Games gave a better discount, but I could not change the language. The game defaults to the system language without any options.

Solution: Right Click the game in the library -> Manage -> Launch Options and enter:

-culture=en

These are 2 letter codes like fr, it, de, es, ru, ja [Japanese] etc. The untested codes are taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/borderlands3/comments/d3g73b/how_do_i_change_the_games_language_in_the_epic/f02gm3g/

 

After I found in Ghostblade a fun character for me I had some great time, but the online is so terrible without any ping indicators or blocking. The game design was criticized plenty, and I also don't see it replacing the big titles for me, perhaps for a local evening with friends it is quite good. Shame the online is so bad though for as an alternative game.

 

Gaming communities can be rough, but I can't think of another forum like Steam which is across so many games consistently incredibly toxic towards developers, even if their product is fine with only minor issues and no predatory monetization. They are my least favorite place of conversation.

What would you do to improve the culture around them?

 

Loved it. The visuals are great, the feel is really there, the Arcade mode was joyful and the Story fight was very epic. I touched Tekken as a series only briefly on PSP and it was not at all my cup of tea and later installments didn't interest me. But this one is a winner so far.

Updated.

I have used Microsoft Office for many years and wanted to see how LibreOffice has come along in the meantime and it does not do as well as I would have hoped for on Windows. There is no included updater tool as in Firefox, so my old version stopped working completely (frozen UI) and the ancient hassle to download .exe files. Not a great start.

The dark mode switch causes buttons to be in the wrong colour looking like a buggy mess until a restart, but even then some of the icons and application colours were not applied correctly until I manually changed them so.

The ribbon view in Calc has its setting burger button on the right and it opens on another screen next to it?

What completely breaks it for me is the broken window resize. The ribbon tab titles are not rescaled and become inconveniently small. I then discovered the the compact grouped view and it made a better initial impression on me. Then I snapped the the window to the left and the UI is just cut off. Manually resizing it horizontally just breaks everything even more until the UI is empty and the rest is moved into the arrow.

The old school UI view meanwhile works and resizes, but it might be the slowest and laggiest UI on resize with goofy stretching I have seen in quite some time.

Also I really think the default theming and the 6 presets are questionable in fashion, but this is the least of its problems.

Wondering what happened to the development of LibreOffice? There are definitive improvements and probably there are even better under the hood changes, but why would such a large project ship such a bad experience? Was the core of the UI never touched the past 15 years? I have to to use an alternative.

EDIT: Resize runs better after forcing Skia Software renderer. Should not have to do that with an up to date AMD driver. Skia/Vulkan was the culprit. Disabling Skia leads to flicker on resize, so even more rendering bugs.

 

The bunny bomb section has no moving rotation anymore and a true travesty is that the floating over the gaps, a small highlight was removed and replaced with magic bridges. Other than that it seems to be nearly identical with only minor tweaks.
