TIL that there exist people who aren't bothered by obnoxious watermarks superimposed on an image. I find them aggravating, and I'm not the only one -- That's shutterstock's entire business model.

AI is already making people's lives worse. Let's not make human art harder to enjoy in a fruitless effort to resist it. Instead, let's solve the root of the problem.

I don't really think that's poisoning much. It's not hard to crop out the pencil after.

If you're going to be utilitarian about this (which I applaud btw): those billions of dollars could have gone to aid for Gaza to save far, far more lives. Or the U.S. could have condemned Israel's invasion of Gaza to begin with.

Yes, saving Israeli lives is a good thing. But you have to look at the pattern in which the U.S. is selecting which good things to do in order to spot the evil.

That game was good mostly because of the modders who made Wintermaul, DOTA, Sheep Tag, etc... The base game had dated graphics even on release.

The dorf fort devs made like $3k-6k per month throughout the 2010s. They did end up going commercial to get more. But it was hardly "not even a little profitable." I mean, I'd take that deal to do what I love too.

I don't think he's saying to tip for a Blizzard game. He's not at Blizzard anymore (probably still has stock though).

I basically agree, I mean, I'd tip for a game I really like. Actually I do, indirectly. I buy other things from companies like FromSoft. I would go further than you and admit I agree with him despite the irony.

Just a reminder for people casually browsing that unmarked spoilers are present here!

For context, to my knowledge, passports for Gazans are issued by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. These days, they have little ability to actually provide passports to Gazans. Even if they could, it wouldn't matter, since Gaza's airport was destroyed by Israel years ago. To leave, they need Israel to issue an entry permit (visa) into Israel, but I would be surprised if they are still issuing any during the war.

I don't know if Egypt would normally be able to provide an alternative route for athletes, but the Rafah border crossing is closed anyway.

Ghost is a creepy name. They should change it.

This is not news. The headline is misleading. They took down an ad-bloated fork of an emulator which is still on the app store. Nobody should find this remarkable in any way except for the fact that Apple actually made the right call for once.
