In many ways a comparison between Potter and Trump’s father are even more accurate, given his birth were immoral slum lords.

“It’s not a bug, it’s an undocumented feature!” -GOP staffers who spent the last few weeks scrubbing conservative names from the files.

What?! The administration run by a man who is famous for not paying people didn’t pay some people?!

So FIFA got rid of the bribery charge from this administration by bribing this administration with a pointless award. Cool, cool.

this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the other one.

I suggest remaining American football to “rugby for pansies”.

Or maybe “handegg”.

On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.

and questioned whether certain nations can remain reliable allies

Funnily enough most of Europe has been asking the same question about the US under Trump. I guess Russia has got a psychological win (even as their military fails dismally in Ukraine) by corrupting a key player from the inside and then pitting old allies against each other.

Just like they were ready to fully conquer Ukraine, fight?

Setting up Jellyfin as a local media server is very simple. Setting it up with easy access for remote friends and family is a hassle.

Strong agree on the lack of punctuation.

Medium has become a bit of a cesspool for low-effort hot takes. Sometimes the articles make a great point but are not very well written (as is the case with this one). But more often than not they are a single, unfounded, absurd rage-bait argument that’s been spun out into an article with the help of AI.

Imagine leaving Texas because you think it’s too liberal.

A lot of the comments here seem to be missing some key points from this article:

• The writer made her own likeness available to everyone on purpose. She did this knowing what would happen, but it was part of the exercise of seeing how weird it would get. So the points that she was stupid for doing, or that she was outraged by this, this are missing the point. Was she stupid? Maybe, but she made a conscious sacrifice on her likeliness. Was she outraged? Clearly not.
• It’s short-sighted to say “yeah this will happen, so don’t put your is image out there”. There are lots of people (especially women and girls) who have gone out of the way to avoid having their image/likeness out there for these it similar reasons. But they have still ended up the victim of humiliation and trauma from photoshopped images or deep fakes made against them.
• This second point was a big part of what the author was trying to point out. It’s both a warning to others about being careful of protecting your identity, and an alarm sounding that there are some really weird and creepy fetishes out there that people can get their likelinesses pulled into, even when you actively try to avoid that.
• It also highlights the lack of safeguards on this kind of issue. Consent, age, level of fame… none of that matters in this issue. And in most cases the companies behind these tools don’t do shit to address these concerns.

It sounds like Albania needs a new Minister of Virtual Contraceptives. Because either something horrible happened to Diella (their AI bot ‘Minister’) or she’s very horny and very digitally fertile.

My question is: who are the fathers? Did she have a gang-bang with ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, Grok, Zuckerberg, Data, T-1000, et al?

I think he moved on to other games eventually. He has a fairly high subscriber count on places like Twitch and YouTube. So in some sense he is relatively famous. But he seems to think that that makes him important or that his shitry opinions matter. When he isn’t, and they don’t.

He’s an entitled man-child YouTuber who gained some popularity as an mouthy asshat playing World of Warcraft back in the day. And since then he’s convinced himself that because he has a following he must be a gifted genius. And apparently that has translated into him not showering for reasons.

In short, as you already knew and implied, he’s less than nothing special.

Ah yes, the latest episode in the ongoing saga of "Putin fabricates bullshit to try to distract the Russian people from the misery and suffering he’s putting them through.

Based on that thumbnail, some of them don’t understand the concept of nudity.

Citizens United strikes again.

I don’t trust some of the numbers in this article.

Microsoft Teams: 100% CPU usage on 32GB machines

I’m literally sitting here right now on a Teams call (I’ve already contributed what I needed to), looking at my CPU usage, which is staying in the 4.6% to 7.3% CPU range.

Is that still too high? Probably. Have I seen it hit 100% CPU usage? Yes, rarely (but that’s usually a sign of a deeper issue).

Maybe the author is going with worst case scenario. But in that case he should probably qualify the examples more.

While I was reading the article several jokes came to mind. But then I read that most of the women were intimidated by him and scared of coming forward because they felt he would make life hell for them. Which also suggests he might have forced himself on them. So it seems like this guy isn’t a ‘playa’. He’s just an abusive piece of shit.
