Yeah, at first I thought this could be a rom hack, which was interesting to me. But the more I look, it’s clearly just an edited picture; Link missing his shadow being the giveaway.

It’s interesting how this scene was constructed. The blacksmiths and their table never appear outside except when guiding the one lost blacksmith back home. The old man is usually sleeping in the bar mumbling about his lost son (flute boy) until the pre-credits end sequence where they are reunited in the forest. The text boxes normally have a transparent background, but here it’s a darkened floor tile from Sahasrahla’s hut.

I think I had this guy’s exact issue and maybe even stumbled upon his comment in that Microsoft support forum thread. It looks very familiar, but I could have just seen the meme before.

My problem was that I needed to do this for 100+ files, so using the UI individually for each file was out of the question. The eventual solution I found was in this tutorial for adding a context menu entry that changes folder/file ownership recursively. It’s been very useful!

I know you’re mostly joking, but that might have actually been my bad. I edited to add the spoiler tag minutes after I posted the link (mostly as a joke) even though this is probably one of the most well known plot points ever. It might have still done that if the link was inside a spoiler tag though.

I didn’t consider the bot when I commented, but next time I’ll remember not to have the clickable link text be the spoiler. That way the bot doesn’t repeat it.

Recently, there came out a way of recompiling N64 games for PC without a decompilation and with mostly working results. It is technically possible to apply the hack patch and then recompile it for PC. I don’t know if there’s a way to apply HD texture packs on top of that though (edit: there seems to be in the video, but I haven’t looked into how).

My dryer has a couple different presets which all adjust the remaining time dynamically according to a predetermind dryness level. To get around this, I just use the “custom” setting and change the temperature and timer manually.

I think they might be confusing Karl with RWhiteGoose (now Goose’s Gaming Folklore), who is another Goldeneye speedrunner that does videos featuring speedruning accomplishments across the community. Goose is a neo-nazi.

This is worded better than what I said. The second round isn’t 1/2 because the door you initially picked was 1/100.

I was stubborn about this for so long, and I’m still not entirely sure I understand it, but here is a perspective that made me doubt my belief.

Imagine the Monty Hall Problem, but with 100 doors and only one grand prize. You pick one; it obviously has a 1/100 chance of being a grand prize. Then Monty reveals 98 doors without grand prizes in them such that the only doors left are the one you chose and one that Monty left unopened. Monty obviously arranged for one of those two doors to have the grand prize behind it. The “choice to switch” is really just a second round of the game, but with a 1/2 chance of winning (wrong, your odds change only if you “participate” in round two).

If you stick with your door, you are relying on your initial 1/100 chance of winning. If you switch, you are getting the 1/2 odds of the “second round”.

Apparently with three doors, switching gives you a 2/3 chance of winning, but I don’t understand the math of how to get that answer and I wouldn’t be able to calculate the odds of the 100 door version. I just know intuitivey that switching is better.

If it felt like suffering you should consider seeing a urologist.

I’ll know the Fediverse is mainstream when I inevitably see this post and comments in a top 10 list or being read by an AI voice and posted to a video sharing site as part of an automated content farm.

Impossible Creatures

Ultimately, the goal of the protest should be to get as many users off of Reddit as possible.

It’s all about harm reduction (or maximization, in this case) and minimizing the amount of traffic and useful data to Reddit. There are going to be situations where giving screenreader users the information about Lemmy/kbin will transition users off of Reddit. In that case, the amount of users leaving Reddit probably outweighs the cost of the minuscule amount data provided to Reddit in the couple of comments it takes to advertise transitioning to Lemmy/kbin to such users.

It’s up to the individual to make that evaluation for themselves. If you want to propose a Lemmy/kbin alternative to Redditors on r/screenreader, then yeah, probably don’t use encoded text.

Yar, this one right here, Captain. Make them walk the plank! /j

True, but it might consider it “regular talk”. I don’t really believe that (realistically) a handful of users speaking pirate would taint chat GPT. It’s more-so for anyone who wants to (temporarily) contribute to the discussion about how their favorite protesting subreddits should maliciously comply with forced reopening. I personally feel that I would not like Reddit to sell access to my comments to be used for AI training, so if I hadn’t already deleted my accounts, I would taint them knowing that I’m not providing Reddit anything of value.

Ideally users would leave Reddit ASAP, but in the interim, while promoting the fediverse alternatives on Reddit, I think coded language would be the most consistent with the maliciously complaint John Oliver pictures posted to various forced-to-open subreddits.

Edit: I might have misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you meant that pirate speak would still be useful for training AI models. My bad! I blame the pirate speak!
