I’ve gone backwards. When I had nothing but time, I did fedora bleeding edge. Moved to ubuntu for almost 10+ years. Moved to Linux Mint last year and debating moving back to Ubuntu.

Gen AI is just the latest of a long line of tools that is being weaponized against us.

I blame the human condition to want to be liked and admired, and in this case it’s youtube’s algorithm that people chase to get likes. People don’t upload this shit just so they can use Gen AI.

They do it because they want to feed the algorithm.

It depends on how she enters the industry. The vast majority of women enter via the “casting couch” or amateur “professional” route. If she has the right agent, she’ll get the same rate across the “usual” companies. She might get the most from the first shoot (maybe by $100-200) for the “privilege” of shooting her first video.

The companies are very familiar with each other and they work with the agent. So if they find out they weren’t the first, the companies might not work with the agent again.

If Biden outlives Trump, Republicans are going to somehow blame Biden or Obama or Clinton or the Woke Mob or the gays or the trans or the Democrats or the Mexican gangs.

During the pandemic, I was watching a lot of porn and wanted to learn the business side of things. From what I learned, a girl’s first shoot is often the most money she’ll earn for one shoot.

They can earn more but often require riskier sex (e.g. multiple men, more kink, anal, etc.) but for vanilla boy/girl scenes, it’s usually it.

Women can often make more if they become famous enough that the demand is there but it’s kind of like high school basketball players thinking they’ll make the NBA.

One thing that did surprise me was that there is not as much exploitation as I thought there would be. There is, of course, some exploitation but, much like any industry, there are shitty people everywhere. Most of the adult industry are pretty good people trying to do good things.

Depending on the size of the repo and number of contributors.

Small ones, yeah probably a simple “don’t be an asshole” is fine.

It gets harder when your contributors start scaling way up and go international. What might be customary in one culture may be considered rude by another. Allowing for people to be different while also maintaining decorum is important.

I worked on a FOSS project that was very small (~5 devs) and I really had to get used to how upfront the German devs were. We knew each other enough but still.

We need more Lower Decks memes.

You’ve gotten good answers from other folks but I’ll provide a ELI5:

Basically a set of rules in the database to make sure that it is immediately consistent.

NoSQL databases offer eventual consistency in exchange for speed so they are generally not considered to be ACID compliant.

Most traditional databases (MySQL, postgresql, etc.) are.

There are a couple of emerging companies that try to tackle speed for traditional databases. CockroachDB offers a postgress-based database that scales more like NoSQL while still offering ACID transactions.

TiDB is a similar company but for MySQL.

Which is why I think the next big step is a blogsite that actually covers these without feeling like you are just reading a guy’s wank diary

There is a site that I frequent but due to this community’s instance rules, I won’t post it here.

The site is more of a forum/community than a blog but it’s pretty good.

The biggest issue with adult content in games is that it limits your market to adults that want that content. Which is already small to begin with. And you often can’t advertise the same way, which limits your audience further. You only find out about them through word of mouth or through places like Lemmy.

From the standpoint of the developer, your ROI is likely to be very small. I think that’s why VN are the most popular form of adult games, since they are easier to make than full games.

Oh no. We’re going to get Vibe Clocks aren’t we? AI is just going to spit out times and it’s on you to check to make sure it’s correct.

I always did mine on the upper left.

Isn’t that what Elon did when he bought Twitter? Just randomly started unplugging shit?

That is, no joke, what Trump is suggesting. “Russia is 10 times your size. You should have just given up.”

This is the logic of a bully.

Trump sees arms as power and expects fealty from anyone he perceives as “less than” him.

Last time I tried to find a way to play it I went down this deep rabbit hole of pirating where it wasn’t clear what I was downloading. If you have a source where I can try my hand at it again let me know.

Edited. Thank you

I liked it too but was never good at it as a kid though I imagine I’d kill it as an adult.

If people could download a house they absolutely would.

Honestly, I’d just Zoidberg over an AI doctor.

I want to see these rich billionaire assholes actually be okay with a vibe surgeon.
