You can go back to Counterstrike for that. Was a free mod for half life, then one day you needed Steam to play it. It’s how Steam was released and part of why there was such massive uptake early. Biggest game in the world at the time.
Those were the days. I never thought installing mp3 player software would give me a rootkit, but it did……
Is linking a Rick roll a meme? I thought memes were reused images with text, guessing the definition is shifting. I saw someone calling numa numa a meme the other day.
I mean, it’s still just a bait and switch. I never really got why doing it with Rick Astley was groundbreaking.
It was over ICQ, IRC or msn messenger back when all I had was dialup. A lot of modern internet culture seems to be appropriated from the kind of old web ne’er-do-wells I hung out with on IRC back in the day. Didn’t think to keep records tbh. The original ‘rickroll’ was goatse or lemon party (nsfw, tbh I would not google those if you don’t know what they are).
I do remember getting Rick rolled with Never gonna give you up by a counter strike clan team member over ventrilo back in 2005. It must be 2004-05 because the clan I was in disbanded after Oct. 2005.
I was def getting Rick rolled before that.
Australians are the Americans of Oceania and south east Asia. Most of the Americans that come here are the thoughtful ones so it’s a bit diff. Imagine it’s similar in Europe.
OP, listen to this person. Docker will earn you cash. Podman is nicer to work with for your own shit.
I’m not the person you replied to but I’ve been a first person shooter fan since Wolfenstein 3D and original doom. I had NEVER heard of it til today. First person and tower defense games are basically all I play.
Nail on the head.
He knows how to pump the stock. He has no idea how to run a company either. His skill to date is being clued up at a conceptual level on tech at a young age and being in the right place at the right time, having some charisma and knowing how to appear smaet. In terms of skill set he’s way closer to trump than an actual engineer or CEO.
If you’re gonna complain about the other models being good you should know he had nothing to do with any of them, other than buying the company and demanding workers sleep on the factory floor to meet fulfilment. Every company he is the face of was someone else’s ideas and effort, all the way back to the 90s. He supplies capital and in return people who don’t understand the subject matter assume he knows what he’s talking about because he gets quoted a lot.
We had edited photos for decades. There’s no difference in the effect.
And yes, people have been working on AI in earnest since the 80s, just wasn’t in the public space.
Plenty of regular folks calling for this for decades and only once someone far enough up the money tree gets hurt do they do something. Frankly disgusting.
It’s satire. Look at the account name.
Online I see this sort of rage bait all the time. In the real world everyone I talk to thinks there’s arseholes and good people in every age group. Stop feeding the media’s narratives. It’s what made reddit shit and it will ruin Lemmy too if we let it. Downvote it, move on. Too many bots and social media entities use it drive traffic and influence the online conversation that eventually ends up influencing the real world.
The web version and the new version look and feel nearly identical for me. Been using it at work for 6 months now.
WSL was a good start, change comes slowly to monoliths but they always have shareholder value as their defining principle so it’s a real tightrope.
They have a somewhat similar facial structure, I think. Especially in the eyes, nose and mouth. Cheekbones a bit different but still similar.
