    Nigel Farage V Count Binface - The dumbest By-election in British History

    I genuinely hope if he wins the by-lection, Jon legally changes his name to Count Binface so that he has to be recognised as such in parliament.

    This board needs a "Vibe-coded" prefix

    A disclaimer I should have an everything I hand coded over the past 30 years. Literally 10 minutes after coding something I have forgot what the hell I was thinking. Go on, ask me how DSision2 or DiagnoSe works...

    LOL, no. By that sense, we need specific "BASIC Coded", "C Coded", "ASM Coded", "Read it in a book some place Coded" "Googled it Coded" etc.

    Ethics/moralality of using AI for fanfics

    Morality : Don't care Ethics : Don't care Quality : AI fiction is by far the worst drivel I have ever read in my life. AI can't tell stories, it genuinely has no imagination.

    Physical Steam gift cards discontinued

    Sweden actually had to pass pro-cash laws to correct that blunder, other governments are not about to make the same mistake. Laundering is a huge problem and one that Valve don't want to be part of. I can't blame them. Cashless is nothing more than "everything is easier online", you can blame...

    Physical Steam gift cards discontinued

    Lol, we've been using electronic bank transfers and automated payroll since the 1960s. You really think there is some 'Big Brother' plan in place?

    Physical Steam gift cards discontinued

    I genuinely fail to see the problem. You can not *USE* the cards for any offline purpose, so why even bother to sell the credits as a physical card?

    If you'd ever worked somewhere that sells these, you'd agree with Steam on this point. Old people (legit old, not like in their 50s, I'm talking 80s and 90s) would tell you to your face that the $300 of steam cards were for personal use and nobody it asking them to buy them.

    Gaming Do you avoid old games that are only playable in 30fps or less?

    Low fps has never been a problem. *inconsistent* fps is where the problem is. I've played games as low as 7fps and couldn't care less.

    2026 is the Year of AI

    What's to say that 'real' intelligence isn't just a lookup table based on collected data? It sure seems that way most of the time.
