Serious question: what sort of crimes do I have to commit to be reincarnated as a penguin in Australia but not Antarctica?

What is my ass

😬🍆🥚💀

😩

Falin! Put some pants on!

While the open source argument is valid, the end to end encryption critique is a bit odd to me. It is, by definition, end to end encrypted, and proton claims that the chat history is stored locally on your device and is blindly encrypted at rest on their servers, same as in their email system.

The individual messages do have to be decrypted for inference option arrival, but really there isn’t another option.

What I’d like to see is evidence of 3rd party audits on this scheme in addition to more information on the models used.

I’ll be honest, when I got my ass blown up by a trip mine 1 minute from completing a S tier pizza delivery, stumbled into the bunker shamefully with a half ruined pie, and a vtuber popped up to take delivery and told me she was the very same person who put the trip mines by the door, this old man did crack a smile.

Life’s too short to pick your partners based on other people’s aesthetic preferences. The whole, ‘is this guy too young for me thing’ is a more complicated choice IMO. Maybe you’re over thinking it. Have you been on any dates recently?

I think this particular shot is a bit of a non-story, honestly. From what I read in the guardians article, they composited in a falling building. The footage of the building collapsing was itself generated by ai (I’m guessing veo3).

The generation of these kind of short, repetitive assets via ai is probably the ideal use case, aside from compositing.

It’s low cost, low on energy resources, and frees up the VFX team to work in other areas.

I get that the stupid end goal is to replace actors, cameras, sets, and the like, consolidating all of the creative output into one industrialized pipeline, but that’s capitalism at work, not technology. The movie industry has been eating artist alive for decades. A creative team using tools at their disposal in a reasonable, grounded way are not the enemy. Subscription services might be.

I’m doing okay! I’m definitely feeling emotionally burnt out this evening, but I couldn’t tell you exactly why. 🙃 However, I ate some ice cream, and I’m going to read fanfiction.

Have a good week too!

Fair. I didn’t really mean to condemn Leon. I just think, the whole point of the romance is to be inappropriate. It’s one of the many unsettling things in the film, and it’s supposed to be weird.

I was more suggesting that there is a precedent for live action films with inappropriate age differences.

I was going to say it’s wild that the adaptation was considered, but then I remembered that ‘Leon the Professional’ exist. Not to say that the quality was likely to be the same, Leon is a damn good movie, but boy have I seen people do some serious mental gymnastics saying that character isn’t a groomer.

A what?

I left early, only 4.5 years in tech. I still make less than my first job but boy am I happier. I work in a nature preserve now.

I believe there was a guy at my highschool in 2006 who had a folder with that design. His nickname was danimal. He could name every fish on it.
