What I'm hearing is that the images in the game can't be copyrighted and any of their competitors can use them with impunity. Awesome.

Does that make it the shittiest, or the least shitty?

I got mine through Amazon. Samsung makes the cheapest ones I've found. Just search for something like "samsung commercial TV". They're generally a little more expensive than your ad/data harvesting-supported TVs but if you value your privacy and longevity of your devices, it's worth it.

I got a display signage TV. Totally dumb. The only app it has is YouTube and that's optional. I don't even have the internet hooked up to it. Works fine for gaming and occasionally streaming via other devices.

Saluton mi amiko!

Great job, Elon. He took one of the most distinctive things about Twitter, the fact that it had a unique verb for its posting type, and killed it. Way to destroy a brand.

There's a number of takeout coffee places near me that will let you bring your own cup and give you a discount on it. You just need to know how many ounces it contains. I have an insulated stainless steel mug that I always bring. Most places that wouldn't accept them during the pandemic are back to allowing it again.

Hatoful Boyfriend has some really great moments, especially if you pursue Anghel or Okosan. It also will make you cry your eyes out in the true ending, so there's a good balance.

Last week, the Electronic Frontier Foundation published an opinion piece arguing that Tier 1 ISPs should not bow to pressure to drop Kiwi Farms, calling the move “a dangerous step” toward censorship.

It's all fun and games for the EFF until someone on that site starts publishing their employee's SSNs and home addresses.

Minecraft. I'll play it if my friends ask me to but I found it incredibly frustrating and boring. The combat feels super weird and hard to execute, most of the discoveries are repetitive, and I didn't really like the building mechanic. I know, I'm in the minority for not enjoying it, but I guess voxel-style games just aren't my jam.

In the winter, 68, 69 if I'm particularly cold, In the summer I don't turn on the AC unless I'm absolutely dying, and then it only goes to 77. I'm a lizard, I love the heat, but I also hate paying high gas bills.

Worse, people making AI CSAM will wind up causing police to waste resources investigating abuse that didn't happen, meaning those resource won't be used to save real children in actual danger.
