   Games like StarCraft, CounterStrike, Warcraft 3/DotA etc were definitely popular at the time of SC2's launch and still are played in "cybercafes" etc. Hell that LAN environment WAS the reason StarCraft got so hugely popu

   StarCraft 1 let you take your computer to anywhere and connect on the LAN with anyone, or even dial-up directly to your friend's phone number. In StarCraft 2, Blizzard like every other corp wanted to see and control everything we do so

   DNA? Something I've always wondered.. could things like tree rings, or birdsong and other mating rituals (the species can survive only by replicating the sequences) be used for "data storage" by some hypothetical intelligence

   I haven't read any books in years because of how shitty iBooks became. I used to read a lot, on my iPad, iPhone, Mac.. until a few years ago when iBooks (right about when it became called just "Books" I think) started rabidly

   So why is Claude not cheaper than ChatGPT? Why won't they let me remove my payment info afterwards? Most other platforms like Steam let you do that. I don't want my shit sitting there waiting for the inevitable breach.

    uhh..why? I subbed just 1 month to Claude, and then never used it again. • Can't pay with iOS In-App-Purchases • Can't Sign in with Apple on website (can on iOS but only Sign in with Google is supported on web??) • Can't remo

    I think they can be helpful for humies too: the act of writing the instructions and describing your stuff in a clear way, and also reading it later.

    If you see my previous comments on the matter I absolutely don't trust AI for generating any code, but in the past couple days I've come to appreciate it for reviewing code. I'm the sole maintainer for a gamedev "mid

    Doesn't everyone else roll paper receipts etc. by the corner into a long stick? As a kid I sometimes licked the trailing corner to make it stick even better. I was and am always intrigued by how it becomes so much stronger and stiffer

    I assumed this was a support group or service for tech workers who ended up homeless, and upvoted for that, and then took back my upvote after reading these comments :')

    They don't even let you have multiple chats if you disable their "App Activity" or whatever (wtf is with that ass naming? they don't even have a "Privacy" section in their settings the last time I checked) and

    Gemini's UX (and of course privacy cred as with anything Google) is the worst of all the AI apps. In the eyes of the Common Man, it's UI that will win out, and ChatGPT's is still the best.

    "lighting, rounding, color, and visual strength" along with "clarity, content-focused" etc. are used as hollow buzzwords just as much as "golden ratio" The whole minimalism/flat movement from iOS 7 and Goo

    If you see magazines, articles, ads and TV shows from the 1980s (there are lots on YouTube and a fun rabbit hole, like the BBC Archive), the general promise was "Computers can do anything, if you program them." Well, nobody could
