Stop using #Mailchimp.

Mailchimp (a proprietary mailing list and customer CMS platform) has updated its terms of service.

Mailchimp is planning to feed your email content and customer contacts into its AI models.

Mailchimp's email generating AI might spit out content that infringements on another person's copyright. And the new Mailchimp terms of service say you are legally liable for that copyright infringement, not them.

You take an arrow to the knee, and you're not an adventurer anymore.

Years later you still limp, but the arrow? Long gone. It did its work in an instant.

This is #LongCovid. You no longer test positive for the virus, but you're not an adventurer anymore.

"Long COVID" does not mean "having COVID for a long time."
It means the virus disabled you.

Yes, that's a thing viruses can do. Don't give this one the chance.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

5G Nanites upgraded today, so gonna connect to BillGates.net in a bit... or I might just hack the Gibson and see if I can run Doom on them.

MP3 is supported by everything, everywhere, and is now patent-free. There has never been another audio format as widely supported as MP3, it’s good enough for almost anything, and now, over twenty years since it took the world by storm, it’s finally free.

Guess this is just the way engine games are going to be from now on?
Lots of frame 'echos'... I'm guessing from some Temporal Anti-Aliasing () or frame generation or some-such.
So distracting and causes eye strain pretty quickly :(

Enjoy some content? Like a mod someone created? Generally like someone's work?

Throw them a comment, let them know their work is enjoyed and appreciated. This is especially true for people who do work for free, or make their creations available publicly.

Oof, game design trends are annoying... there doesn't seem to be any way of playing at a native resolution and native frame rate.
Is this a problem with Unreal 4 or are devs just leaning on hard on frame generation and upscaling techs instead of doing decent optimization?

Might jailbreak my Switch... have the jig and it is one of the older models that can be done.

Had a thought if the Switch had LA Noire...
It does, but at £45.
WTF Nintendo and Rockstar, even after the effort of porting that game is no longer worth that much. £20 at most.
Switch storefront sucks.

negativity, corporate bullshit, copaganda, Raspberry Pi 

With the #RaspberryPi5 releasing, don't forget how they boasted about hiring an ex surveillance cop, then ridiculed the people who criticized them for it.

Also remember how you weren't able to buy a Pi for months because they prioritized supplying their business customers.

I'm not buying #RaspberryPi products any longer, nor do I recommend them to my friends and clients. The Pi Foundation has become seriously out of touch.

Musk is just a sociopath at this point;
Elon Musk Reportedly Lied About How Many Monkeys His Neuralink Implant Killed.
Musk insists that no monkeys died in trials and that the brain implant is ready for human trials. A horrifying new WIRED report suggests otherwise.
