Possibly semi intentional given that Warcraft was almost a Warhammer game and got plenty of artistic inspiration from it

Are we stupid?

More than you could imagine. To paraphrase some long-tongued weirdo: I’m uncertain that the universe is infinite. Human stupidity, on the other hand…

🚫 hack - unprofessional, buggy and possibly illegal

An apt metaphor: we’re the win95 home pirates that get every company to buy an official license

Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil comes to mind. Brazil immediately became an empire after it got its independence (thanks to the then Portuguese prince Dom Pedro I, who quit the job to become king of Portugal when the chance showed up)

What is this new Zealand you speak of? Some sort of mythical place?

will require identification and photo validation

Straight from the book “How to kill your app before launch”, page 1.

data privacy at its core

Looks like they haven’t seen the obvious conflict with requiring id + photo, unless they plan on manually review every application.

After reading the article, it sounds like they’re just making yet another xitter clone with the hopes that govt figures will use it. Govts could just spin their own mastodon or similars for a similar effect.

Stupid name, vv, or vave would’ve been better. Besides, it’s not like they’ll register v.v as a domain, or even www.w.vv

wish meta had torrented all the viruses, too, would be fun to read the news of “facebook and instagram are offline as meta suffers from cyberattack”

Huh, I thought it was Skyrim

artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.

Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!

The really funny thing is how he says that “the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector”. Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven’t benefited yet! Could it be that it’s not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it’s all the doomers’ fault

“StackOverflow is down” is the more common cause where I work

The bottleneck isn’t acquiring plastic. The bottleneck is everything else.

This is spot on. I’ve had resin printers for ~6 years now, I’m quite skilled at adding supports to models (and despise pre-supported ones). I bought the first one fully intending to print RPG minis and maybe also make my own 40k army. Printed a lot of minis, printed some on commission, sold some, including 40k, but never made an army, “my” army, I get stuck at choosing a force/faction and then making the composition. The ready made combat patrols just feel “meh”

Most importantly, I only know one 40k group and they play ~30km away from where I live. I already do that kind of trip every single day for work, so that was a huge dampener to me.

Same reason people prefer the original thing over cheap copies, even the perfect replicas. This is valid for pretty much everything: art, clothing, videogame cartridges, plastic toys, boardgames.
