I mean, crude oil is a natural product. Burning a log or burning a tub of crude could both be considered burning natural substances.

For services that are throwaway, this is fine. I don't care if someone gains access to my ice cream rewards account, they don't have anything else important. And I believe these services only last 10 minutes, meaning you can't password reset them because the inbox doesn't exist.

I certainly have categories, but not quite as neat. It's a crazy mix of genre and vibes, and many are in multiple categories.

Finished, RPGs, VN and anime, With Friends Only, Trash, Garbage, Need to finish, low interest, party games, roguelikes, and a few more that I can't remember right now.

I also have a dynamic category for filtering with a specific steam friend when we're figuring out what to play, that filters for multiplayer tags and that they also own. Plus, removed the trash that no one wants to play.

Still imprisonment for a racist meme, and blasphemy laws are some of the scummiest laws that exist.

Bit sure how long it's been because it seems to be the same system, but steam also removed the ability to buy unowned gift copies of games. I used to be able to pick up a couple copies on sale and then give them to a friend who I thought might enjoy it later. Now I have to wait to do that during a sale because I must connect it to an account.

Honestly, the data used to create these models was ripped from the public and I think that they are owed back to the public. OpenAI started as a non profit, and I think it should stay that way.

The FOSS model works well enough for other projects and I think that corporate AI will be exactly the same as the industrial revolution, progress at the cost of humanity. This isn't a problem to solve, it's a solution looking for problems.

I was about to say, a selfhosted LLM means I'm not competing with every market analysis tool, customer service replacement, and 10 y/o kid bombarding the service with junk. It doesn't need to be ultra fast if I'm the only one using the hardware.

My biggest argument for ethics is that if it is legal to do, it will be easier to provide incentives for it. Already a problem with illegal substances and such I guess.

The rich and powerful have a problem where the normally unattainable luxuries/curiosities in life are freely available and boring. It's why you see millionaires doing crazy stunts, and so many get into illegal drugs or trafficking, like with Epstein and his ilk.

They can offer money, power, or other benefits to those who don't have it, and also manipulate the circumstances in their favor, and create a market for human meat. One where the poorest of people could sell their own parts/body, or create parts for consumption if supply drops. Our current system does the same with labor, but that seems significantly less damaging.

Grinding credits and medals specifically really changed how it works for me. If you need medals, complete the harder missions fast and ignore the chaff, get the 10/15 medals per level.

I just ran trivial difficulty, flat bug maps looking for credits and medal drops, because you don't even have to extract to get them. Get the 30-40 creds, then exit to ship. Skips all the cinematics, and you can jump right back in to looting in a minute.

I think they are saying, even if they must spend 80% of premiums on health care, that leaves 20% for profits/admin. But if a premium is $100, $80 goes to care, $20 to the company. But if the price of care goes up and the price of premiums go up, then a $200 premium means $160 on care and $40 to the company. The company still makes more, even though the ratio of care/profit is the same, incentivizing the company to do what it can to make ALL COSTS go up, and raise premiums to match. If they can get premiums to $1000, that means $200 can be kept.

I didn't even know masseuse was gendered, I've never heard anyone use masseur in the US.

Restricting screenshots is laughable security. If you can read a message then you can take a picture with a second device, there isn't any software that can stop that.

Preventing screenshots can stop accidents and make someone think twice about it, and disappearing messages prevents returning later and looking them up, but that's it.
