The US has no federal requirement to pay for unworked hours, be they sick or holiday time off work.

“Federal” is the weasel word here. All states have their own requirements, including sick time, holiday time, and how long you can go without a break. Also, I’ve never seen an employer not offer PTO. Even your local McDonalds has paid vacation for full-time employees.

While I wish it was codified into federal law, your implication that nobody has vacation time in the US is patently false.

You mean the second one? There wasn’t a sex scene in the third one, just a BDSM bar that the Merovingian and his very-well-endowed wife were hanging at.

You’d be surprised.

I feel like you’re mixing up some companies, these sentences make no sense in the context of Embracer. Are you talking about Bethesda?

No. Microsoft.

Microsoft has no such excuse. MS leadership has been asked multiple times why they did it, and they literally haven’t said a single fucking word that makes sense.

I feel like you’re defending the wrong thing here. Wondering why MS shudder the studio is like asking a snake why it attacks its prey. It’s a fucking snake. That’s what it does. That’s always what it does.

Embracer screwed up and let itself be absorbed into the Microsoft empire. They have their IP. They care about nothing else.

Not even once.

A Mastodon user stumbling upon one of these comments could easily assume that it is just another fully independent “toot” (Mastodon’s equivalent of tweet).

Wait, back up… Mastodon calls these “toots”? So, everybody is posting farts?

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don’t want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

God, that’s so accurate.

Although, you could replace “brand” with “adult”, and it would work for memes that kids have propagated.

They’re all on F95.

Then I woke up, at first impressed that I did that. Then I just couldn’t help but wonder if I was just dreaming that I lucid dreamed and that the choices I made were actually just a part of the dream.

Your choices in a dream are colored by the reduced mental output you have when you’re dreaming. In a dream, you might make a lot of dumb decisions than make perfect sense in the dream, but are immediately illogical when you think about them awake.

With lucid dreaming, you have an increased self-awareness, but you’re still in a low-activity brainwave state.

That’s the thing about automation and training models.

First, they implement some sort of auto-reporting bot that requires a human to review them. In the beginning, it only about 50% accurate, but as they give it more and more examples of good and bad results through the human reviews, it moves to 80%, then 90%, then 99%, then 99.99% accuracy.

After a while, the humans on the other end are so numb to the 9999 entries they have to mark as approved that they can barely tell what’s a rejection themselves, and the moderation team is asking itself just what this human review is actually doing. If it’s 99.99% accurate, why not let the bot decide?

Then, the model moves on from auto-reporting to auto-moderation.

your reign of terror shoulda ended with Indigo Prophecy.

Well, at least it ended with JASON!

It’s not. I can easily pull the thumbnail image of any YouTube video. Same with yt-dlp.

For some reason, Lemmy can’t figure out this simple template: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/hq720.jpg

Somewhat unrelated, what the fuck is up with Lemmy not auto-loading YouTube thumbnails on new posts? I have to fetch the thumbnail PNG image each time, and not everybody knows how to do that. This is not a problem with any other link type.
