Not to excuse the pathological liar but Molyneux wasn't exactly promising AGI, the little fake dev diaries they made were mostly about a leap in speech recognition - it was widely understood that the game would still be stapling prerecorded lines together with further interactions advancing a mostly linear story. They promised a totally achievable prototype, it just didn't exist  The funniest moment was probably Claire raising the drawing for the camera to scan; all Milo does with it is announce the dominant color, a simple demo you can get running on the Kinect no problem. The presentation makes the scene work because we can imprint on a loving rock if you draw a smiley face on it

PhazonLink posted:what if my dream resolution is fine but but i have othe rissues like fps, screen tearing or shaders not loading? Honestly I just turn on ZSync right away when I get a new bed. No point going to sleep and then getting trapped in a nightmare that will never end because my brain is trying to go as fast as it possibly can through every scenario and just getting totally weird combinations. At the very least that should help with the tearing. If shaders aren't loading, you might have some memory issues. See if you can swap out your cerebral cortex, if you can that might solve the problem right away. For Full Paralysis Sleep, it might have to do with your sleep frequency, or with medication / drugs you're taking. There's so many things it could be that, aside from trying to reset your body to factory default behavior, you may need to bring your brain to a specialist for repair. At worst, you may have to either replace it or just accept the demon that's sitting on your chest and suffocating you as the price you have to sometimes pay for your lifestyle.

Brave has a history of extremely sketchy behavior like having a weird cryptocurrency that was supposed to be given to creators but the creators had to know to come look for it so Brave just kept all the "money". They also hijacked affiliate links onto urls without telling anyone. Also the CEO is a homophobe who backed a bunch of prop 8 candidates

Evil Fluffy posted:Brave is Chromium based, fwiw. They got Vivaldi now recently too, LibreWolf still works though and is fast (though probably not ideal for regular day to day browsing). Firefox overall is cool but for some reason it always runs the slowest for me and no matter what I do on any machine I have. Brave seems cool in theory but the creator is some kind of shithead and also their ad model (and them even having one) is not great. I like Vivaldi the most of these overall. Is there a way to add an option to a browser so when you can right click on a link and one of the options is to open the link in a different browser lol I think that would make everyone happy.

You can right click and open new tab in incognito mode for most browsers these days, I think. Not sure what problem you’re solving for but it’s great for bypassing some paywalls.

I don't know how but I must have rolled the most natural 20 of all natural 20s on luck because I've never had youtube try to stop me from using ad blockers while running on chrome. Ublock Origin, normal chrome, and nothing, I would have figured by this point I would have gotten something and I don't think I do anything different with versions or updates or other plugins. I've set up firefox with ublock just in preparation for the new year, but that works less reliably by a big margin for me than whatever my setup is right now on chrome.

I think there are a bunch of settings you have to adjust to make it work. It worked for me for a while but I get blocked 100% of the time now even with ublock and noscript.

https://www.adskipper.me This solved it for me in Opera, i had been using ublock until it started tk fail. I tried fireflx before Opera, it acted weird, and not just the intentional delay Youtube put in, it just wasn’t reliable.

My YT ad block situation is weird. I have Ublock flagged by google and turned off but have some other thing running that doesn't entirely stop the ads but kind of interrupts them after a second and then I get a click screen to buy some phone game or whatever that I can instantly skip or just wait like 5 seconds and it goes away. I'd bet anything, though, that this move by Google is working exactly as intended where thousands or millions of people are subscribing to premium but I haven't looked it up. It's probably similar to when Netflix did the PW sharing crackdown and increased their subscription rate.

We add privacy protections on top, so there's no fingerprinting or tracking, and all of our ads are purely contextual (not behavioral). The instant answers are all built and run in-house.

Just want to add Vivaldi's been my main for a few months now and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it earlier/more people aren't using it. I see people say it's slower than Brave/etc. but it hasn't made a difference for me and the customization and features on it really clicked with me to. The mobile app for it also, they like read my mind and differentiated it from Chrome in the exact small ways that made me hate using Chrome on my phone, good stuff. When I gave Brave a chance before I knew more about it being so crypto-centric and the owners being poo poo people, I was blown the gently caress away by how the mobile app's main start page is a crypto game ad? Fuuuuuuck thaaaaat fastest uninstall and scouring from every platform I have ever. It's nuts to me that a major feature of the browser is that it blocks ads but at the same time they have an entire like internal ad setup.

Brave is the worst browser I've ever used, irrespective of the crypto poo poo. It's the only browser where regularly it seizes up and crashes. Avoid that poo poo like the plague.
