It’s really hard to find any sympathy for people whose entire business model is to leach money from young impressionable men. It’s almost like their asking “Please stop extorting us, so we can continue extorting our own clientele in peace.” And don’t tell me that all those men are giving up their money voluntarily. It’s like saying the gambling addicts put their money in the slot machine volutarily, therefore it’s not a problem. No self-respecting individual in their right mind would or should enter his card information and buy naughty pictures of some rando, while there’s a backlog of billions of them online for free. Rub one out and get in with your day.
They can themselves “sex workers” while there is literally zero sex in their work. Imagine thinking that posting pictures of “yourself wearing short skirts” ads any value to society. Actual sex workers at least provide physical and social comfort, even if it’s just an act, it’s still a professional form of commitment.
Do those women ever stop and think why there is no one stepping in for them and preventing this scam from happening? Almost like what they do has zero value to people with the actual power to do so.
Maybe take a long hard look at yourself and see your accounts being suddely deleted as an opportunity to freshen up that resume of yours and get a real job with taxable income.

Also the fact that this is happening to the 0.0X% of highest earners, is ironic. Usually, it’s the lower end that gets scammed the most.

You have to bring your own. You may play with the other dogs if they approach you.

Did you say “Dogs at work”? Deal.

Yes. The way it works now is:

• Play video until ad timestamp
• Pause video and fetch ad from ad server
• Play ad
• Resume video

But presumably with the new system, your computer will just receive a continuous bitstream with ads embedded in them. What was previously happening on your machine through HTML or JavaScript and was detectable by ad blockers, will now happen on YouTube servers beholind the scenes.

The whole point of having ads be separate from the video is for youtube to easily distance itself from malicious ads. If an ad is malicious it can easily be reported and taken out of commission. But if ads are now part of the video, what stops an ad from being an ISIS beheading clip in the middle of a video made for children? If there is still a way to still report it, then there is a way to recognize the ad.

Also how will this interfere with creators? Editing a video and giving it a proper pace is already a huge challenge. But now ads can just be automaticaly cut into it without the creators control? That’s gonna fuck up so many quality channels. That’s already a big problem with the current system, bit at least you can skip or block them.

Then there’s this developer.

Selects separate drive for install

Adobe: “Imma, pretend I didn’t see that”

This is the “appdata” folder, this is where all the application’s data goes.

So whats the “Programs” folder then?

This is also where the application’s data and files go.

But I thought thats the “Programs x86” folder.

This is also where the application’s data and files go.

Ok whats “Program Files” then?

This is also where the application’s data and files go.

So my config file is in either one if those 4?

No thats in the “Documents” folder, obviously.

Windows program data file structure has always been the wild west.

Youtube Shorts give me Brainrot but I can’t stop watching them. I don’t know what they did to the algorithm, but it perfectly captures my attention.

A “good girl”

Capcom seems to pump out absolute bangers lately. They have multiple rock solid franchises (Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter) and their buisness model is still, make good game, sell good game, profit from sales. They don’t shove half-assed life service attempts down you throat and most importantly they don’t fuck fans over. It says a lot when your least acclaimed game over the past 5 years is RE3 Remake with “Very Positive” Steam reviews. I’m really looking forward to RE5 Remake and Monster Hunter Wilds.

How about they bring development time and costs to AAA standards?

Shit, you’re right, I’am.

Copyright protection only exists in the context of generating profit from someone else’s work. If you were to figure out cold fusion and I’d look at your research and say “That’s cool, but I am going to go do some woodworking.” I am not infringing any copyrights. It’s only ever an issue if the financial incentive to trace the profits back to it’s copyrighted source outway the cost of doing so. That’s why China has had free reign to steal any western technology, fighting them in their courts is not worth it. But with AI it’s way easier to trace the output back to it’s source (especially for art), so the incentive is there.

The main issue is the extraction of value from the original data. If I where to steal some bricks from your infinite brick pile and build a house out of them, do you have a right to my house? Technically I never stole a house from you.

The videogame world is weird. Say you are a small buisness in a miner town making cast and hardened steel parts for mining equipment. If a big manufacturer comes around and offers to buy you out, your alternative to saying “yes” is them, opening up their own buisness and driving your sales into the ground with cheaper offers. But if Bethesda says to CD Project RED “Either you accept the acquisition or we are going to make better games.” CDPR can just say “Haha, good luck.”
