I've said it before but before I die I fully expect to see some sort of "Right to Labor" (or something) law where companies can press unemployed people into "employment" for prison wages.

Every time I see her face I am amazed that she's only in her early 30's.

I'm thinking more of a lure, have some nice rotten salmon smell leaking out of your "hat" and hope that some tasty fish, sharks or seals show up looking for a meal.

One of the bodies returned to Ukraine, labeled No. 192/25, was dressed in a Russian military uniform and carried a Russian passport issued to Alexander Viktorovich Bugaev, born in 1974.

They're throwing 50 year olds into the front lines? I knew they were hurting for man power but jeez.

He'll probably dig up the editors of Continuum magazine to give them leadership positions in the FDA afterwards.

The guns obviously don't need help, they're doing a fine job killing children on their own.

The increased “detail” is entirely made up, based off whatever the AI model considers likely to be there based off similar images.

Like that time when a upscaler turned Barack Obama into a white man.

I'd guess just standard android with some jingoistic wallpapers and a ton of backdoors installed.

My preferred topping for pancakes is a paste made of butter and brown sugar.

I think it's trying to minimize their digital footprint/reduce the amount of LLMs that will ingest their post.

State police fought for months to keep from disclosing the most incendiary parts of the email, claiming it revealed confidential tactics.

David Park, a now-retired civil rights lawyer who filed lawsuits against state police in several fatal shootings, said the email reflects an “adolescent” and “toxic macho cowboy culture” that has no place in policing.

I'm guessing that's the "confidential tactics".

 

Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.

 

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
