Oh yeah, I meant software. Maybe modding isn't the right word. But yeah you can dump digital games.

I am very glad that technology has failed me.

Thanks. It really helped a lot. That being said, it still seems to deactivate the search bar right after the script has focused on it.

I poked around and here's a Tampermonkey script that works. It only affects the main page, not the others, so if you want to change that you would probably change the parameters at the top.

setTimeout is JS's "wait" function. I pass a function as well as the value 800 to it, telling it to wait 800 milliseconds before executing the function. I've had it work as low as 500, so you could try that and see how it works out for you.

There's likely a better solution that looks into signs the page is fully loaded, but the issue was that something about the web page wasn't expecting the user to click on that box until the page had fully loaded.

What's the appeal of Brave?

Blocks advertisers and tracking that doesn't benefit the end user mostly. You could call it just a straight upgrade from chrome, even if you don't notice any difference.

Let's ask chat gpt.

I'm sorry, but I really hate shat gpt. That language model is nothing more to me than advanced plagiarism. And bad plagiarism at that.

I think it's fine if people don't like it. I get dopamine from game, they don't, it's not like any argument is going to do anything. I've never enjoyed a game less from someone telling me that it sucks, because it doesn't work that way.

Whenever I read people saying "x media sucks" I infer that they're trying to communicate that they don't enjoy it rather than the normal discussion of how we as a group should feel about things that are objectively good or bad. I'm more annoyed by people who treat it like politics and attack the other side as if they've made some logical mistake, or that they have some other motive other than expressing their taste in media.

I have a Retorode 2. PS1 and PS2 games can be read in any PC DVD drive. So no modding involved.

Those are literally all examples of consoles where digital copies did not exist. If you're going to dump Gamecube and higher, you need to mod 90% of the time, and dumping digital games is the same exact process. Best way to read a Wii U game is with a Wii U. There's always going to be an option to dump digital games the same way.

Depends on what you need

And

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/run-javascript/lmilalhkkdhfieeienjbiicclobibjao?hl=en

Can do as you say. What Javascript to write? Something along the lines of

document.getElementById("searchInput").focus();

Should work. Edit: Use Tampermonkey instead. It's more commonly used.

Also, I think the amount of games I've lost physically is closer to 100%, and the amount of games I've lost digitally is actually 0

But yeah the cartridges are cool, they have a vibe.

It involves Java so you're looking at a port of the jvm

You'd be better off running Linux on it and running it that way.

Guess I'm transphobic for liking Harry Potter and agreeing with J.K., even though chronicly online people have taken what she said completely out of context. Good to know Hogwarts Lagacy sold well enough to get a series. Good going internet hate train, ya played yourself.

For being the leader of the trans people are predators movement, retweeting literal Nazis that agree with her, and all the "lgb" rights groups she shows up for?

I don't know what I'm supposed to be taking with context because she definitely explicitly detests trans people, even if one day she says out of nowhere "I have trans friends"

Their job is to change things and they don't know as well as the workers do what should be changed.

You're not getting anywhere in the US without a car. Other countries have public transit to go anywhere, but in the US it's just a bunch of slow and dirty buses.

Some larger cities have had no choice but to move away from car based infrastructure, but it's pretty obsolete in general.

Yeah, it looks like some members of Congress are actually pretty knowledgeable about it. It's not something you would expect a 70-year-old man to understand, but databases have been around for decades and I think your average person understands how they function on a very broad level.

But yeah I'd like to see some examples of people explaining this as a VPN-blocking bill unless they're going into the implementation of the bill being poor, and having side effects other than preventing China from collecting a lot of US user data.

adjl posted...

You know that, and I know that, but a substantial number of the dinosaurs running the country don't understand why Tiktok needs to be able to access home wifi networks. Expecting the most basic modicum of technical competency from Congress may be a little too optimistic.

I think the issue is that all user data being stored is in an offshore country that Congress doesn't trust enough to leave it up to their own regulations. It might just be currently used to create a database of American citizens or push algos that influence public opinion. The level of trust with China is the biggest driving force here.

I think AOC disagrees with me, which is probably a first.

After reading this I'm wondering what this has to do with VPNs as well, doesn't seem like it does. It seems more like a "don't let adversary countries run social media apps as they pose a national security risk".

https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/the-u-s-restrict-act-explained/

I see that as a good thing, but I also understand why some people would be opposed to banning social media apps with the reasoning being they're from another country. The US wants to enforce privacy regulations, but can't if those servers are in china, which is a completely unregulated door to the Chinese government.

So what does the act do?

I'd google it, but you say they're being sensationalist.

It's also kind of info-dense.

It seems like a bipartisan issue, with Democrats and Republicans split on opinions.

If Schmen feels like doing this I can't help but feel like they actually have multiple personalities.

-----
Addicted:
exhibiting a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity.

so they call it a porn addiction, because that is literally what it is.

do you think you would be the first to say that their addiction is in control, or isnt an addiction at all, and doesn't affect their lives? or the first person to try to imply that other people are just prudes who dont get it?

Well, it literally releases addictive chemicals in the brain. You can even measure it and compare it to meth. And men just tend to want to do it a lot. So we're all addicted to porn the way we're naturally addicted to sex.

Maybe you could call it an addiction, but you can't say it's harmful or bad until it's negatively affecting the person. If you never understood porn... then your brain is just not wired for it.

Just to give an example, I used to look at porn about twice a day. Lately I've been tired and depressed so I've hardly looked at any porn. As I get older, I don't look at porn as much. You might just be describing a male sex drive.

I find it weird that people call it a porn addiction. It literally does not affect my life at all. Feels like prudence or jealousy.

Or... someone "born again" who used to feel the need to release themselves in a public bathroom and is now projecting onto other people.

I think it's funny how people say Linux is better for development. Development is literally the only reason I don't use Linux. If I just wanted to use Steam, I would use Linux. It's more secure, it feels private, like Microsoft isn't sending all your "anonymous" data back to ad servers.

Linux is better for servers because they don't hide their server features behind paywalls like Server Edition and Azure. They also don't shut off your computer without your consent randomly.

Linux could be great if they got their shit together as far as UI and ease of use go. It's great that they don't have the same corporate bloatware as Windows, though.

Who else loves seeing news articles randomly shoved in their face about how there's a rapist downtown? Very relevant to my daily life and interests. Something I can really benefit from thinking about.

I like how a $47 shirt is "free".

I'll take one if you remove the words at the bottom.

I live in a nicer area but if I drive 10 miles east I could get shot at a gas station. Tis America.

Yeah we had a rape incident this year. Victim was a fat guy. He owed them money for drugs or something. I know drugs where involved.

After an inmate died last year it came to light he was being raped cause he was a child molester. I learned of one recently too that whenever someone was new he'd put a honey Bunn on their bed. If they ate it he raped them. Fortunately he got busted for a shank the other day so he'll be gone

I have noticed the effeminate looking guys always try to keep a beard like that's gonna stop someone.

Anyways I don't think I've ever committed a felony. I've dates a felon and obviously I work around them

Your prison is a shithole and it's run terribly. No offense.

Idk if you can even say this was motivated by his wealth, seems like just a random stabbing in a violent city.

Here I thought the Republicans couldn't win

My views on political strategy is that when in doubt just push in the right direction and give them less options, tbh. The right puts exactly 20% of their brainpower and 100% of their raw emotional power in to things they do. Rn cons are going full throttle on trans people and it's even hurting their broader popularity. It's covered by the 50 other ways they cultivate people.

So if there are negative consequences to Trump being indicted, the bigger picture is that the guy who tried to overthrow the government is being targeted.

Interested to see the flood of posters who said he wouldn't be indicted? SKARD?

The funny thing is that the anti-trans sentiment is unpopular in real life, and not-terminally online Conservatives don't actually care about them or think about them all that much.

Trans people themselves don't care or think about it as much.

Get this, a transgender female shooter this time.

But yeah. Public mental health services would probably curtail these. Gun control is kind of hard to make a dent, but definitely wouldn't hurt. You can't have either of those, so says the government.

Shooters are just a bunch of socially isolated angry people with horrible outlooks on life.

Continuing the trend of nightmarishly dystopian acceptance of terrible things

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/122hpu7/ive_integrated_gpt4_into_over_10_platforms/

A browser plugin that encourages people to use ChatGPT to respond to messages. I think it's important that these people understand why what they're doing is fucked up. Every forum with any integrity will immediately ban you for doing this. I wonder if ChatGPT subreddit will start accepting responses that are obviously written by ChatGPT? No.

All these products are just a single API call to ChatGPT pretending to be a business, by the way. The creators can't even create a basic HTML page for the plugin. 400 upvotes, criticism. There's some tepid criticism about "privacy" (which is incredibly stupid) that's obviously only being put forward because it makes people feel more impartial.

I didn't know we were headed for a world where we have to worry if the people we're talking to are even real. Just make an entire social network full of bots, have them all talk about how great the user is, create a bubble of friends, hell, a fake society of people who are all talking about how much they love the user. They all have identities, backstories, they remember what you told them. This is a fine substitute for everything that made us human. Why don't we just kill ourselves now and make things more efficient?

Or is that too creative for these people? Oh no, they might be listening to someone with that ability.

I think it sounds really nice, but I also associate it with some negative stereotypes.

If I was black I wouldn't want to live in that area. I wonder if foreigners understand that southern Americans are an entirely different culture.

It may not be the most responsible take, but I feel like realistically no one will be dumb enough to launch a nuke.

Global warming, on the other hand, is guaranteed to fuck everything up 100% at the current rate. We might have to resort to releasing aerosols into the air if we can't stop companies from digging oil up.

Yeah when I'm into someone it tends to be really strong. I try to keep it that way, even though more often than not it ends with the worst pain I've felt.

Don't have a problem with it, it's my life.

I would go home and go back to what I was doing before working in IT except looking like Killer Croc apparently. People probably wouldn't have a problem with that. People might follow me around like a celebrity for a while but I'd bore them until they left me alone.

Which would make them and me wonder why they picked me in the first place.

If people showed up at my house to riot because I'm scary or something I'd order them all a bunch of pizza and have a party. That would teach them.

Don't know what we're going to do about it other than to throw a fit until AI "art" is banned on every website. As we get older, the past is always going to seem better.

adjl posted...

Not with the current paradigm, which is to study examples of existing writing and recombine it to create something passable. Fundamentally, it can't create anything new or better than what already exists.

That said, the vast, vast majority of books that sell aren't the best books ever written. That's always going to be true, by simple virtue of how few "best books ever" there are. AI doesn't have to be better than all human writers, it just has to be good enough that the average consumer won't mind the shortcomings to enough of an extent to stop them from buying AI-generated books. At that point, writing as a profession is dead. No publisher is going to waste money on a human author that has a small chance of writing something that will sell better than AI books when - in the same amount of time and for a tiny fraction of the cost - they could have an AI produce dozens of books that will sell just fine.

Bonus points where the likely outcome there is that aspiring writers will just end up self-publishing on a smaller scale as a hobby, and AI's will end up studying the successful ones and ultimately incorporating them into something publishers will be able to make far more money from.

If you've following the research, AI's intelligence is growing exponentially. Believe it or not, it's already rivaling human intelligence on academic tests. It has a short-term memory. This includes looking at a picture, deciphering what's going on in the picture, and comprehending the consequences of doing any certain action in that world, then explaining it in English. This picture could be anything, a math problem, a street. These algorithms don't run on regular computers anymore, they run on corporate GPU farms, requiring hundreds of GB of VRAM. To run just one model.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VSWyghVZIg

Most people don't understand how fast it's growing, and it's not slowing down. I'm not being sensationalist at all when I say it 10-20 years (or 2 at this rate) AI will be leagues smarter than a human at almost anything. These researchers are having great success doing anything they want.

I mean, just last year we were laughing at deformed frankenstien pictures. Now we're all being blown away because it's invented its own photorealistic rendering that's better than anything we have.

I think they're pretty cool. Not plants or animals.

If you aren't clever enough to put words on paper, one of the most basic skills you are taught, don't use an AI to do it for you.

This guy apparently spent 40 hours prompting chatgpt to write a novel. Fucking ridiculous.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1210pcb/chatgpt_writing_books/

No, AI is not good for helping you be creative. It has applications in productivity, not creativity. It is applicable for shitty "artists". If you use AI to write or partially write a book, you are a lazy fraud, not a real artist. Why don't you just message me and I'll jot down a paragraph without the slightest bit of thought? That's what ChatGPT does.

Can't stand creatively deprived people, especially the ones that try to make things by copying as much as they can. Wouldn't you rather make something bad, that you made yourself, than something good that you just copied?
