I like degenerative content.

@fatboldprince @aeterponis I have a great solution:
Add a long unskippable walk between different stages of the game with mandatory keys (or notes) collection in different areas. A note hidden behind a starting point is a must!
Done. The game is over 2 hours long now.

Guys, please... never do this. This is not helping, this actually hurts the game. If you write "loved the demo," "looking forward to it," and "NOT A NEGATIVE REVIEW," then don't give it a thumbs down. If you really care about the game's future, and loved the demo, giving it a thumbs down may send a different message than what you intended. We don't mind if someone genuinely doesn't enjoy the game and gives it a nega rev. That's fair. But this kind of review is just harmful.

@DjamalNez @Noele661 @yu_hoo2 The series is alright.
The actions of the female lead are selfish and stupid at times, but some can be justified. Despite being wrong.
Also the next scenes are literally about her acknowledging that she was wrong doing what she did in the posted scene.

[Archer's Closet @ArcherV1nce]

@DjamalNez @Noele661 @yu_hoo2 She had one abusive boyfriend, who beat her, made her cut the contact with all of her surroundings and live at his place.
No phone (he had broken it), no friends (dropped of university for him and cut ties with her family), nothing.
It was a dumb decision of hers, to date him.

[Archer's Closet @ArcherV1nce]

@DjamalNez @Noele661 @yu_hoo2 The Female lead was a naive teen, who believed to be special. So she wanted a rich guy to date in order to live a fancy life. She was a "high school queen", because of looks and misunderstandings. According to the source, abuser was her first bf. So, she wasn't a whore.

I built my own graphics library and got a whole map of my city onto a device with only 64kb of free RAM using my own rendering method written entirely in C & assembly, and a converter that take GeoJSON files and compresses them - this one went from 5mb to 34kb in my proprietary binary format, uses linedraw vector rendering to keep the entire memory buffer at only 8kb of RAM whilst tiling larger maps

In short

Screw google, aint no reason maps needs to be gigabytes of RAM to use

@whitenveiled @Linahuaa Historical and cultural context. It was prohibited to show pubic hair back in the day, so authors depicted someone who didn't have it.
Also the development of "moe-cuteness" culture. And here we are, having a millennium y.o. donut loving loli who can turn into adult woman.

Someday I will factcheck, but not today.

For $5, someone can upload your photo to an app called Sherlock and pull up your name, your social media, and every website where your face appears. The app has over a billion faces indexed. It launched in January. and it's far from the only tool that does this.

PimEyes came first, back in 2017, out of Poland. It has about 3 billion face photos copied from the internet without anyone's permission. Costs $30 a month. The company runs through a tangle of businesses registered in Belize, Seychelles, and Dubai. When five people in Illinois tried to sue them for collecting face data without asking, the lawyers spent two years trying to track down PimEyes' CEO. Sent people to the country of Georgia, to Dubai, to Belize. Never found him. The case got dropped.

Clearview AI is the one police use. Over 70 billion face photos in its system. There are about 8 billion people on Earth, so Clearview has roughly 9 photos for every one of them, pulled from social media, news articles, and random websites without asking. Ukraine's military used Clearview to identify over 230,000 Russian soldiers during the war. The database keeps doubling roughly every 18 months.

Texas sued Meta for scanning Facebook users' faces without consent and collected $1.4 billion. Then went after Google for the same thing and got $1.375 billion. Meta had already paid Illinois $650 million in 2020. TikTok paid $92 million. Clearview settled for $51 million. Total payouts from face-scanning lawsuits across the US: over $3.5 billion.

Last October, two Harvard juniors connected PimEyes to a pair of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses (regular-looking sunglasses with a tiny camera built into the frame) and built a system called I-XRAY. They walked around campus, looked at strangers, and within about a minute had each person's name, home address, phone number, and part of their Social Security number show up on their phone. They didn't release the code, but said anyone who can write basic code could build the same thing with tools already available online.

On March 17, three US senators wrote to Mark Zuckerberg asking what Meta plans to do about facial recognition in its smart glasses. Their letter pointed out that one person wearing these glasses could scan thousands of faces in a day without anyone knowing.

There is still no federal law in the US covering any of this. Illinois passed one back in 2008. A few states have followed. For everyone else, the only thing between your photo and your home address is whether someone feels like spending five bucks.

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive.

NTSYNC support uses a new Linux kernel module to handle Windows-style thread synchronization directly at the kernel level.

Notable benchmark gains (compared to basic upstream Wine without prior optimizations):
- Dirt 3: around 110 FPS to over 860 FPS
- Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: 130 FPS to 360 FPS
- Resident Evil 2: 26 FPS to 77 FPS
- Call of Juarez: around 100 FPS to 224 FPS

Ai-generated artwork officially is ineligible for copyright protection as the US Supreme Court declined to review a appeal case.

The court rules that artwork needs to have a human creator in order to be eligible.
