All military personnel will require Facebook accounts to use Meta AR goggles.

Good news! They’re only involved in certain countries!

Anyone got good German learning resources? I took courses on it a decade ago and would love to get back into it. Tried Duolingo a while ago but I find it sucks with actual mechanics and just sprays and prays sayings.

Activision has always been awful but they’ve really done their damndest to ensure I never want to play a COD game again

• Requires a phone number to play online
• Their UI is the absolute worst thing I’ve laid eyes on. It spends more time advertising other products instead of showing, yknow, how to launch the game I paid money for. I quite literally had to google how to launch the CoD remake because their UI was so confusing
• install sizes are absurd. I still remember the COD remake took 500GB to install
• and now micro transactions in loadout screens

And this doesn’t even include all the fuckery with their C-Suite.

I don’t know why they make it so awful to try to play the game you paid full price for.

My wife was a hard core Harry Potter fan. Like waited in the lines for the new book and completely derailed a family trip to get the final book fan. Her and her friends would do Harry Potter events all the time. We’d do Harry Potter bar crawls and all sorts of stuff. She was gonna have a sorting hat party for our child when she was old enough to start reading the Harry Potter books.

Then Rowling started doing all this garbage and all that died. She took down her old Harry Potter shelf and her and I stopped buying any merch whatsoever.

As a metalhead I’ve always had to separate art from the artist, but it’s one thing when the shithead creating stuff is a no name loser out in mountains that’s broke and has little influence. It’s another when they’re the third richest person in the UK and constantly using that wealth to spread hate.

It’s just so sad to watch a large part of my wife’s childhood just up and explode like that.

You missed one

Nah they just wanna replace it with Gen AI

RIP Alexi

I can still see the owl and the tootsie pop. Needs moar jpeg.

Eventually all of this slop will pass when they realize it does not work. But for a couple years everyone is gonna have to put up with companies trying bullshit like this until the metrics show that it doesn’t do anything for the cash.

Ah thank you for the context!

What did Radiohead do?

Hazbin hotel is also great

I still have a soft spot for demotivational posters done well.

This was not one of them.

I thought some of that was them trying to wash away the original fascist roots of OG 40K. Haven’t they been trying to slowly retool and rebrand the imperium more as the “good guys” so they can sell more merch?

Sometimes real people also fuck up

I wish I could unsee everything

Yeah like I’m a lot cooler on the AI hype than most but the articles argument is weak. This is the same shit people were saying when SO and Google were gaining traction. Surprisingly having one tool does not limit people from digging further into internals

Sick.

Rogue trader was awesome. I have high hopes for this one too.
