Right?? My shower should be the cleanest place in my house, it literally gets washed in soap and water every single day - like what do you mean it gets dirty if I don’t shower it?!

Like what next, I have to wash my washing machine, cook my oven, boil my boiler??

Por que no los dos?

It’s a drug in the body and a solvent/solution outside the body.

Bit late to the party, but I would try the r/ROMS GitHub site. I believe their Internet Archive links are still good.

Otherwise, Minerva as long as you’re set up for Torrents.

R.I.P. Myrient

5 minutes is paltry. Devs should be required to submit an uncut recording of the first 30 minutes of gameplay from launching via Steam before they can release a game or push an update.

I don’t think that’s an unreasonable demand, cause if a game can’t launch or survive 30 minutes of normal gameplay, it shouldn’t be on the store for people to waste their time and/or money on.

Yeah, let’s not count our chickens just yet on world events. Though I’d love to hope you’re right.

Honestly. Agreed.

While in office Trump is essentially immune to consequences - there’s very little point in trying to go after him again.

But his administration and DOJ have been doing some very blatantly corrupt things for a while now, and their only safeguard was the Republican Congress refusing to do anything about it.

Now that the entire Congress is in Democrat hands, they’re vulnerable - so going after them and essentially neutering Trump’s tirade against democracy for the rest of his administration certainly seems the best path forward.

Though we’ve got the next two years to find out what’s gonna go down.

Yeah, you don’t get to Scrooge McDuck levels of money by being friendly. He absolutely would’ve sold out Epstein then made his own island, because the money bin doesn’t fill itself.

Honestly… Yeah. Outside of insider trading, there’s no real way to know what the future holds, so every stock and every bond is just a gamble with varying levels of risk (or Crypto if you like getting rug-pulled over and over)

Life in of itself is way more about being lucky than most people at the top would like you to think about

Because those who perpetuate the systemic abuse of others through abuse of authority can’t ever themselves end up as victims of that same system?

That’s pigeon shitting on a chessboard level of gotcha right there.

In the nicest way to Anon, it may not be paedophilic, but 27 dating 20 is still sus as fuck.

Sure, the older you are the less the age gap matters - like nobody would look at an 80 year old weirdly for dating a 70 year old.

… but at 20 years old, a 7 year age gap is 1/3 of their lifespan apart. That’s a fucking lot!

Why is AI development continuing?

There is demand, but that demand only exists because consumers aren’t being exposed to the actual price of AI. It’s all being subsidised by investor hype.

Not one of the frontier AI companies have made a profit as of today, not a single one..

The only ones making profit are those exploiting the subsidised pricing for business (or to pull huge scams) and the guys selling the shovels components for data-centres, like Nvidea - who are desperate to keep the investor money flowing, to the point that they themselves are pouring some profits into their own AI company customers in the unofficially dubbed great AI Investor circle-jerk.

… And though this Bloomberg report was from January 2026, if you look hard enough you’ll notice this circular financing hasn’t stopped, in-fact Nvidea even acknowledged this circular fimancing themselves not even two months ago.

If the only way this keeps going is propping up the industry with investor money and circular financing, then when one of those eventually give and the public are exposed to the true price of AI - what happens then?

A bit into conspiracy territory now, but it’s what has me suspecting that a lot of the news we hear about AI going rogue and what-not isn’t as accidental as it seems. Any publicity is good publicity and keeps AI on the forefront of investors minds.

Make it a legal requirement for any indefinite revokable license product on sale to be sold as “indefinitely licensing”. Any term implying irevokable ownership (I.e. buying, purchasing) would be illegal to use.

It would wisen a lot of people up very quickly to what’s essentially a long-play con being pulled on them constantly, especially as some games companies *cough* Sony *cough* are looking to force digital-only ecosystems.

… And if being forced to use that term makes the companies doing this squeemish, well they could always just stop selling revokable licenses.

Man I always hated this, because it IS actually the bell’s job to say when we leave - because if we don’t, then we’re late to the next teacher’s lesson, who then either has to do the same thing, or cut their teaching plan short to compensate - neither of which is a fair deal for us or that next teacher

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - the biggest flaw in the UK’s energy market, and what makes it have the most expensive electricity in Europe despite having one of the highest productions of renewable electricity in Europe - is the fact that the price of electricity from all sources is pegged to the most expensive, Gas and Oil.

Unpegging renewable electricity prices from gas and oil would definitely cause some chaos at first, but ultimately would force electricity prices down in-line with the rest of Europe.

That’s nearly always been the way to make money.

Look up most of the mega rich people now, even the “self-made” ones and you’ll find 99/100 of them came from money.

The other way is luck. Be in the right place at the right time with the right skills to take opportunity’s hand… and pull the ladder up behind you so nobody else can follow.

Well duh. Who on Earth was going to pay stupid money to buy a car from the most (in)famously overpriced electric car brand just to put an ICE in there??

It’d genuinely be like buying an IPhone just to immediately put Android on it. Like it defies the premise of buying the thing in the first place.

• People who like ICE cars would surely just buy a fancy ICE car for that price.

• People who like electric cars wouldn’t be putting an ICE in there in the first place, and would also probably just buy a better electric for that price.

• And the people specifically into Teslas wouldn’t want to rip their brand new car apart to install an ICE, because part of the brand of Tesla IS the electrification.

Those viewpoints are not mutually exclusive…

You can point out the need for better AI regulations to hold companies liable for when their AIs “go rogue” AND want better laws for going after people who misuse AI tools for harmful/malicious purposes.

Man it’s wild that even W Bush had more decency than Trump, and he was terrible

Perhaps the biggest fundamental problem with using AI like this - how can you know the programs it generates are truly clean-room replicas? Can you guarantee Anthropic never trained their AI on Adobe’s suite or any of Adobe’s code?

Also, if you’re desperate to cut Adobe out of your life, why not use the open source tools that already exist and aren’t at risk of being sued out of existence by Adobe

Man do I hate the age we live in now, where people are actively having to declare war on scrapers like this because AI bros have literally zero respect towards the rest of the internet.

I just hope all that endless maze scraping cost some asshat a decent chunk of money.
