… strain on RAM resources? What year is it?

Doesn’t look too much different. $13.5k median/year according to the that article.

True, but the average income / buying power has to be factored in too, right? Caveman googling gives the average Russian’s income to be $14k USD / year whereas Swedes are at $47k USD / year. Assuming more caveman math, that’d be like paying $5.23/dozen in Rubles compared to $3.60/dozen in SEK.

Of course you can’t just do these sort of comparisons exactly, because money’s always more complicated than that, but I think it gives a better context.

“Before, I used to buy eggs for 70 rubles ($0.78) a dozen. Now they cost between 130 and 140 rubles ($1.45 to $1.56)—twice as much,” Ilia Zaroubine, a 21-year-old student, said.

Near the end

I’m going to 2nd the other guy - flooding the zone with shit is already something I see often in various lemmy communities. If you think commenters will read articles and actually present proof if something’s wrong, you have a much higher expectation from the people here than they’re actually capable of. People barely/never read the actual articles. They look at the title and the vote counts and comment/vote/think accordingly.

MBFC is at least an easy way to remove the obvious bad stuff. Yea, it’s not perfect, but it’s a thousand times better than expecting the community to self-moderate legitimate sources.

People like this and the ones who responded to you aren’t thinking. They see the words Ticketmaster or Corporation and immediately lose any sense of higher-level reasoning - they just start metaphorically foaming at the mouth. Other trigger words: libs/trump/edison/GMO/coal/big tech/ you get the picture

On topic to the OP -

• it’s not Ticketmaster setting these rules, it’s the venue
• they probably had the seating rule listed somewhere along the process and you just skipped over it
• you can just… not fucking go

Sometimes I wonder if there are different “levels” of propaganda nation states put out. Like you have this obviously fake crap get a bunch of surface-knowlege people. Then you have more subtle things put out - like social media accounts pretending that something false is a ground truth. You’ll then get people who can catch the fake videos and then believe the fake accounts no problem because it’s obviously can’t be propaganda - because you know what propaganda looks like. cough gell-mann amnesia cough

Or maybe nation states are really that incompetent and the only level of propaganda they can put out is like the article’s videos. Honestly people give way too much credit to how much these folks know/plan out. There’s no secret cabal playing 5d chess. They’re normal people (ie. dumbfucks) pushing a message.

Who knows.

…wow. From what I know - the defense generative models have against copyright is that they don’t copy their training data directly. If the models have that data in some form that can be repeated back, they can/should get reamed by lawsuits.

No. Chapter 2 is short compared to the others. And it’s 3 playthroughs to beat the game. It’s not one run of 5 chapters.

If people can’t be bothered to beat the second chapter to play multiplayer, then they’re just going to ragequit when they get stomped online anyway.

I’ve seen similar complaints with when reading about western animation too - but the context for that was in an animation guide (The Animator’s Survival Kit). I wonder if there’ll be any attempt to consolidate/document anime animation tricks before the old farts there croak

Clickbait. Actual reason they were sued -

A few weeks ago, ZUMA Press filed a complaint at a federal court in California, accusing Plex of using a photo of actress Cuca Escribano on its website, without permission. The photo was shot by Jose Perez Gegundez who typically licenses it to third parties for a fee.

Not the reason people would think of with this type of title.
