  • What idiom did you initially misunderstand, but you prefer your interpretation?

  • I agree with you, it has transended spoiled milk product into the finest of aged nacho cheese for your Taco Bell product placement. I needed a polarizing example, it was either Kung-Pow or Napoleon Dynamaite; I tossed a coin.

  • "Aged like fine milk"

    Its supposed to be about wine and how it improves with time. However, especially when discussing old media, I like my version as it can mean its spoiled or turn to cheese, interprite as needed

    Example,

    The movie "Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist" has aged like fine milk.

    Is the movie bad for its dated crappy matrix references or is it peak early 2000s cheese. Vote now on your phones.

  • What is a big internal debate within a fandom or hobby you are a part of that outsiders probably wouldn't care about?

    Jump

  • Early game, absolutely. The most important thing is to find people to play and talk with. The first few months are about getting your sea legs and trying all the things you may want to do. Skills are time gated not activity gated, and learning the rules of engagment are important (in-game, social and meat-space).

    Personal note, the most useful thing I teach my new corp mates is "How not to be seen" and how to navigate your person in a way people cant (or have to put a lot of effort) into stopping you.

  • EvE Online response as a player who was there for that era is still playing. I think the game is in a much healthier place now that most of the course correction patches have passed. Surgical Strike and Scarcity changes were needed to make the power blocs burn their stockpiles, but it happened slowly and almost killed the game (no one liked space austarity). Now with diminishing returns on capital reps, capped jump fatigue timers and filaments to allow for random travel the umbrellas can be pierced much easier and players have to adapt.

  • Hosting a matrix server with synapse, how do you handle registration?

    Jump

  • LoL, we dont. Accounts are issued to individuals. My local sysadmin cosplay group encourages people to make their own instances with small user counts and to federate the services with each other. That way if one users network goes out as residential networks are want to do, communication is not completely down for the collective.

  • Fake food is often designed to survive heat from sets and lights. Filming for ads is different than filming movies, but the same idea applies. They also make low-sound versions of things like paper bags as to not ruin takes when things get carried by actors, moved around, or dragged on the set floor.

  • What do people actually use to game together instead of discord. Now that the dust has settled. Any recommendations?

    Jump

  • Teamspeak 3, we like sticking to the older version and its nice to have not things change or look super polished and web-page like. Also Mumble, but thats only for groups that require it.

  • Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

    Jump

  • IT person here. I concure.

    On bad imposter syndrome days I dont feel like a professional, I feel like the computer whisperer. Gets ticket for problem, decides to stretch my legs snd walk over, issue is fixed before I arrive, like magic (its not, but I didnt see the problem so I cant make any notes other than a wizard fixed it).

  • Why are churches in Europe almost always built on top of Pagan ritual sites?

    Jump

  • Syncretism is the term that explains this best. The Romans had a habit if not entirely crushing the beliefs of the people they conquered, they just stuck their own on top of the local beliefs and brought some of those traditions back to rome.

    Fast forward a long ass time and now most everyone has a winter soltice festival.

  • Taylor Swift files to trademark her voice and likeness in era of AI deepfakes

    Jump

  • Correct me if im wrong, but this may be a good idea. Between this and the OpenAI v ScarJo lawsuit a few years back, if Swift suceedes in trademarking herself, it may make it easier for others to do so as well.

    I see the fallout being a ton of artists and celebrities following suit, eventually the barrier of legal paperwork/fees getting low enough that Youtube personalities and small time artists can also trademark themselves.

    If enough people also went out of their way to legally protect their image, AI companies would be walking into a litigation minefield as they cant reasonably know how many people filed with the trademark offices. The easiest solution is to not let deepfake voices or images be too real, if they are they risk getting sued by some random actor.

    It stinks that inorder to potentially set precisent to make AI less toxic, a billionair has to go to bat first, but I dont think im going to add this to my list of valid complaints about her.
