"You have to use AI." ...why?

Daily #1886 - Tired bliss

I guess I can finally tell people that I'm writing on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, the spiritual successor to my childhood. I want to say something clever right now, but my heart's in my stomach and my words are slowly floating into the darkness of space. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAmk...

“When it comes to putting together a crew with the skills needed for a bank job or a jewel heist, a majority of Americans reported knowing just one or two guys, tops,” said lead researcher Jane Iannitello

Diego Luna has received more acting nominations for ANDOR than any other actor for any other Star Wars project in history 👑

Merry Christmas to all…except Santa who is NOT welcome in Scrooge McDuck’s house.

New Christmas commercial on the importance of recycling ♻️ • 2D animation by Brikk • Inspired by Don Bluth End text says: "Bottles and cans can be given new life. Animals can't"

Wish I knew someone who liked Battlestar Galactica as much as I do

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

In a post corporate merger world the idea of crossovers and different IPs interacting brings me absolutely no joy. And I'm the schmo who drew Hank Hill as Sailor Moon.

🫡 thank you for your service, transsexual furry hackers

technology used to be cool, but now it’s owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet. but there are transsexual furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight

An anonymous Japanese game studio is making applicants draw in front of them during interviews to prove they don't use generative AI 🎮 “Only human creators can produce compelling characters and graphics from scratch”

Tom Stoppard has sadly passed away at the age of 88. The famous playwright did uncredited script polishing for Revenge of the Sith and wrote the iconic Darth Plagueis speech.

YouTube is getting destroyed by Twitter (X) Community Notes 😂

In other news, we think AI summaries pose an easy vector for powerful entities to manipulate and supplant unfavorable search results: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwJ...

Here, have this Qimir #starwars #theacolyte

The Revolution starts now 🐈‍⬛

Star Wars is about love. So lucky to have it in our world and the fantastic communities who support it.

What a great headline

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Echoing as someone who worked in a call center for an ISP. The "pizza parties" were either from discretionary budget or the supervisors'/manager's own pocket. If something like this is happening, expense is coming from above the dept.

#SaveSpeech The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

Treasure Planet was released 23 years ago today... and literally takes us off in this magnificent shot. ✨

When Sony Turned the PS2 Into a Linux PC

It makes me happy knowing that Leia brought her boyfriend to Thanksgiving

My personal favorite series is back: Best Cases for the year! The case and cooler side of things have had some real advancements this year, fortunately, despite DRAM/GPU best efforts to derail everything: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gCF...

Taking apart an old circa 2016 Dell, and, despite some usual Dell weirdness, the case looks "okay-ish" for airflow, and the motherboard looks... normal???

The tradition originated with an ancient Italian civilization who kept chickens’ fulcrums, believing them to have access to divine power. The ritual moved through Europe and the US, where it evolved into breaking the wishbone for good luck. (SERIOUSLY, NOT HIM)

While we’re here, we'd love to give a shoutout to Soccer, the dog actor who played beloved Wishbone on the PBS series by the same name. Give Wishbone the Emmy! (NOT HER)

The wishbone must be completely dry and brittle before it will snap, which can take up to a few days. To speed up the process, try popping it in the oven for a few minutes. (BEGGING YOU NOT TO POP THIS DOG IN THE OVEN)

One popular Thanksgiving tradition is making a wish while breaking the fulcrum of the turkey, more commonly known as the wishbone. 🧵⬇️ (NOT HIM)

#It are the only ones at work today (3 floors of desks) because "what if an exec decides to work at corp and needs help" Well that exec is gonna get the best #techSupport ever with all 3 of of us helping out. We'll tech support his PC so good it won't know what hit it.

Mabel insisted on sitting with me when I got my haircut which hasn't happened since my grandma did the same thing when I was in kindergarten.

On December 4, 2007, in the Usenet group “Friends of the Friendless,” someone wrote: “Happy Friendsgiving Y’all!” And that is the first recorded use of ‘Friendsgiving’ in print.

Can you spot the health & safety error here? If you said he was using a flathead screwdriver instead of a philips head, you could work in engineering.

I can only speak to my own experience with intermittent gaming on Mint last year, and the full switch to Nobara this year, but overall on Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3, ProtonGE has provided me the most stability and best performance [Possibly better than w11. At least "feels" better] #linux

This was one hell of an undertaking. We still have a lot to learn with Linux benchmarking, but we finally have a foundation for it. This is our first-ever round of desktop Linux GPU gaming benchmarks -- we've previously only done this on handhelds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOx...

Happy birthday to Lateef Crowder, who is one of the actors who plays Din Djarin in The Mandalorian! May the Force be with you!

Watching Mickey conducting the Balagio Fountains like Sorcerer's Apprentice at end of tonight's F1 race, just makes me want to rewatch Fantasia 🐭🧙‍♂️

Repasted one of my old laptops and saw max temps at 100% load on occt drop from ~89c to 78c. (fans and vents had already been dusted cleaned before first test) Was not expecting that big of a drop 😯
