There is a Pokemon competitive player named Chuppa Cross IV. Which means not only that somebody was unironically named Chuppa, but also his father, and his grandfather, and his greatgrandfather as well.

Well, if you talk about the newest AI-powered UTAU voicebanks, that's because the developers finally thought about crossing the streams, and instead of having the singers merely pronounce syllables in several pitches, they used that data (expanded to also include several syllable clusters) to train an AI. Unlike most trained AI models, where the voice samples are recorded from live performances, so they vary in quality and on data points for each individual syllable, these have the full set of voice training data prerecorded by design, so the quality of every possible combination of phonemes is as clear as possible.

At this point I fear it's less of a grip and more of a hydraulic clamp, that's absolutely gonna rip sausages through

Why bother with the human experience, after all, if we're doomed to eventually forget it?

On one hand, it's a bit sad to see the average person not know about the Fediverse and claim "welp, there's nowhere else to go, it's either staying on the same ten junkyards I know or quitting cold-turkey". On the other hand, the relative obscurity kind of comes from the fact that there's no single main instance of the Fediverse. Sure there's things like Mastodon.Social, Lemmy.ML and Misskey.GG that concentrate most users of their niche, but by nature, there is not (and should not be) a centralized place where everybody is, that can be used as the poster child for the Fediverse.

Lucky you, that you managed to make Epic run properly over Linux!

My only complaint about GOG is that developers treat it as an afterthought. Plenty of games that stop receiving updates, or are pulled out of the store entirely, while the Steam version remains maintained. Also, the required lack of DRM makes multiplayer online games relatively scarce.

Remember March 2012, when SOPA and PIPA were about to pass, and many websites were blacking out as a form of protest, some people were advocating for a "Black March" to have everyone boycott Big Media, pirated or not, for the entire month? Yeah sure it didn't spread like wildfire because of course, the population is already too addicted to popular culture to drop it cold-turkey, but at this rate people may be forced to give it a go by force.

More accurately: the games have support for Xbox styled controllers, because Windows ships with support for that. However, they usually don't have support for PlayStation controllers unless the game actively adds support for them, or Steam Input deals with converting the controller inputs to Xbox format on the fly. Most of the time, Epic exclusives do neither of the above.

I know about its existence, but I'm not sure how safe is it as a way to prevent Epic (and potentially Tencent) from tracking my personal information.

60 FPS videos are only available at 720p and above, so maybe your browser is defaulting to 480p?

So what you're telling me is, that Johnson and his little Johnson measure the usage of each other's Johnsons?
