I feel like the only actual problematic thing here is unreliable performance.

Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified in ~tech

There's a strong argument that copyright law as a whole was already archaic even prior to AI, but I don't really see that as grounds for special treatment in this case. At the end of the day, if you stole from practically every author out there, they're all owed compensation.
There should probably be tiers for payouts or something, but even if you dropped it down to 25k each across the board, that's still almost 200 billion. For anyone but the biggest players, that's automatic bankruptcy.

It's like they're saying, "Our entire business relies on copyright infringement, but it's unfair that we should go bankrupt for those infringements!". Like, what?The first point is laughable imo.

Comment on Marvel plans to recast the X-Men and (eventually) Tony Stark after ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ but ‘reboot is a scary word,’ says Kevin Feige in ~movies

I mostly checked out after Endgame and stopped watching Marvel as a whole 2-3 years ago, and that feels pretty common? But in reality, things really haven't changed much for them financially. They still make a bunch of movies a year, most of which are moderately successful, with a big hit every so often (I think the last one was the Deadpool and Wolverine movie?). It feels like everything I read about Marvel is how it's going downhill but that's clearly not the case, and I just don't get how.

Comment on How did you ruin a game for yourself? in ~games
Nichaes LinkAt some point, I really started to notice the 'win fight, lose in cutscene' trope, and it's ruined so many RPGs for me. Once you start paying attention, it's everywhere and it's so frustrating....At some point, I really started to notice the 'win fight, lose in cutscene' trope, and it's ruined so many RPGs for me. Once you start paying attention, it's everywhere and it's so frustrating. Why do they do this?

Comment on Disney reportedly planning full reboot of the Indiana Jones franchise in ~movies
Nichaes LinkWhy can't they just...make something original? It's like they've hit a critical mass of owned IPs where they never need to make something new ever again, just endless reboots and remakes.Why can't they just...make something original?

Comment on Hi, how are you? Mental health support and discussion thread (June 2025) in ~health.mental

If your friend were to imagine a different person in identical circumstances, they would naturally believe they had the right to apply.
In the times I struggle with self worth, I imagine that identical copy of myself. Are they really, objectively unworthy of X? If the answer is no, then my insecurity is trying to force me to be unfair to myself, and that usually pisses me off enough to push through it.
I'm not sure if that'll help your friend, but it's worth a shot.

I've been procrastinating working on a project idea for way too long, in part because I haven't put in the effort to get it structured, detailed and organized the way I like. It also happens to be the weekend, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I'm not nostalgic in a way that makes me want new content just to see more of the characters, but I did play the original so I can tell when the next hour is going to be a new tangent they added in the remake. It's definitely faithful, just not the game I wanted to play.

Plus, there are competitors but none outside of Teamspeak that are that well known.
Discord will probably never die, in the same way reddit hasn't. I don't browse reddit at all anymore, but I'll still include "reddit" in my search queries because all those niche communities are still there. It'll probably be the same for Discord.
Even just being in the room sounds like it'd be awful, it's like a caricature of genuine enthusiasm. I wonder how this tradition even started.
