Not sure why you were enabling HTTPS for a project that was not hosting an internet-accessible service, really. By which I assume you mean the service doesn’t have a publicly accessible web based UI or API component. What were you trying to access and how? The only scenario I could think of for this would be that your custom software relies on HTTPS for secure communication within its own internal network (such as on a VPN) to send sensitive data back and forth between services. In which case that feels like overkill for a college course, since you shouldn’t have any genuinely sensitive data that you need to secure if it’s just for testing and demonstration.

I had a problem and then I tried to solve it by installing a snap package. Now I have two problems.

Not sure what your point is, but I have a hard time imagining love and acceptance not going hand in hand.

Looked up the article. They’re mad that Dolly Parton, who is a very outspoken Christian, is specifically the kind who embraces the “God loves everyone and that means we should love everyone, too” ethos of Christianity. In other words, the author of the article is pissed that Dolly doesn’t gaybash. What a fucking piece of shit you have to be to sit down and be like “you know what’s wrong with this person? They aren’t cruel enough.”

“Boxxo, would you like it if I stuck my dick in your coin slot?”

“Too bad.”

“That sounds like a ‘Yes’ to me.”

5? This season has Villainess Level 99, season 2 of Tsukimichi, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, My Instant Death Ability is Overpowered, Fluffy Paradise, The Weakest Tamer, Doctor Elise, Sasaki and Peeps, Tales of Wedding Rings, and Ishura (sorta). We’re now at around 10 per season. Honestly, we’re actually at the peak of the genre right now (or tied for it) if you exclude ONAs and only care about full t.v. series that are your classic “transported to or reincarnated in another world” stories. For the past few years the average per season has actually been closer to 7, rather than 10. We’ve never had a full 15 Isekai t.v. series in a single season.

Almost all shonen anime are power fantasies to some extent. Isekai stories are especially bad about this. Most of them are power fantasies about someone being reincarnated in another world with an absolutely ungodly level of power that they didn’t have to work for or earn. The only ones that aren’t are the ones that are explicitly attempting to at least partially deconstruct the genre. So I wouldn’t say it’ll pivot to power fantasy, but rather it’ll come up with a new form of power fantasy. Personally, I’m glad that romcom anime are getting more popular. You can tell which ones are for women because all the hot male characters have very full lips and instead of the studio blowing all their money on big fight scenes, they just animate the hell out of ballroom dance scenes.

Borderline? A lot of these are straight up apologetic. “Oh, it’s okay for protagonist-kun to have sex with 13 year-old-chan because he’s in the body of a 13 year old himself, which means he has the mentality of a 13 year old.” Okay, cool…how many years of life has he personally experienced? 42, you say? Interesting…why don’t you have a seat over here, random light-novel author-san?

Surely you mean it comes with a 1000 dollar monitor, not…just the monitor stand?

I still have nightmares from the porn I’ve found on emule decades ago. Apparently some people have fetishes that involve brutally killing animals…

Holy fuck, emule?! At this point, just use usenet.

I’ve written poorer documentation than this.

“Here is a work around to fix [weird bug in production]:”

“Edit: Disregard the above. It fixes [weird bug in production] but causes [bad thing] to happen.”

“Edit 2: Apparently the first edit is wrong. It doesn’t cause [bad thing] to happen. Bad thing just happened to occur simultaneously the first time I did the workaround.”

“Edit 3: [weird bug in production] has been fixed. This workaround is no longer needed.”

“Edit 4: Turns out [weird bug in production] we fixed is what allowed our systems to communicate with one another. Had to rollback change. Work around is now considered ‘the fix’ going forward.”

“Edit 5: Turns out it DOES cause [bad thing] to happen, but [bad thing happening] is a core component of our system’s design and also PAYROLL NEEDS IT TO FUNCTION?!”

I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.

Edit: Apparently it weighs 37 pounds. I don’t know how they crammed that much bullshit into a 18 by 9 by 20 box, but they did and then they slapped wheels on it. The wheels are probably considered a two thousand dollar “value” by Apple, though.

Wizards/Hasbro hires contractors to produce art for their game. They make virtually none of it in house. It’s most likely they neither know nor care who or what produces art for MTG. Besides, they produce so much content in a year, some of it has to be AI/ML generated, so this is incredibly unsurprising. At this point, MTG is starting to enshittify by dumping out product as quickly as possible. Their quality control and playtesting has gone out the window. Most of their recent sets are pretty poorly received in the limited magic space. I don’t personally care about the use of AI art, but I can say that for money making enterprises, they’ll eventually have more and more art produced via ML over time, and eventually they’ll use ML to design sets in some capacity, as well. Right now, people are upset over it or annoyed by it on some quasi-ethical grounds of “stealing from artists by not compensating them for the work they produced being used to train the models.” But it’s going to eventually become the norm, purely on the basis that they aren’t going to lose any money from using ML to produce art and they’re going to save money by doing it.

The foundational premise of this argument is purely that there’s something “special” about human thought and that the way humans do pattern recognition is somehow “better” than a machine’s.
