Making it a taboo for a furry to date a non-furry is silly, and thankfully that hasn't been my experience, and I'm sorry if you've experienced that.

As for the reason why it's common to find dates within the fandom? We have a culture that's very open, often intimate, and extremely weird to many outsiders. Also Tinder fucking sucks and Grindr isn't much better, the fandom is a better way to meet people than those apps.

I have a general dislike of Facebook which has kept me away from their headsets, however this actually seems like a great idea.

Wearing a computer on your face instead of on your back has been one of the most asinine design choices of standalone vr. Comfort issues from putting weight on your neck while you're expected to look around, the headset jostling around because of the momentum of the weight, the heat buildup from having both the screen and the computation on your face. Trying to solve these hurdles by making the computer itself more lightweight and cool has probably had other tradeoffs, likely regarding performance.

Repeating the same small phrase endlessly and getting caught in a loop is a very common issue, though it's not something that happens nearly as frequently as it used to. Here's a paper about the issue and one attempted methodology to resolve it. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.14660

I do wonder if there's any selection bias in the hardware survey steam does. I'm sure they sample randomly, but I think a user on Linux might be much more eager to participate in the survey than a Windows user, simply because Linux users tend to have a desire to be more vocal about their OS use than Windows users.

I've seen a general increase of scammers targeting furries, primarily with taking art commissions that they very likely won't fulfill at all (or maybe throw some ai gen thing at you, dunno). I think the furry community has just grown enough out of obscurity to be targeted more, and that probably includes barq.

I have set my socials to only be visible to mutuals, which seems to have prevented the spam you're experiencing.

Is there a programmer version of linkedin lunatics? Seems like there would be heaps of content for it with people like this being the software equivalent of the business major's motivational posting lmao.

For 5g non-terrestrial orbital computing is used to reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent back to the ground, saving some of the rather precious bandwidth.

For an example that I'm just pulling out my ass and probably doesn't represent actual functionality, you don't want a satellite to relay data that might be on the same bands as valid user data, but is not connected to a service subscriber. If you don't identify and do this filtering locally on the satellite you end up needing to beam data dirtside where it will just be thrown out by the core network.

I imagine AI will be used to filter data to be sent to earth from photos and such.

I bought this on a sale last month, then heard there would be a full progress reset with this update so I held off on playing. I look forward to digging my teeth in at last!

Hoping for multiplayer soon.

What truly makes a house a home is parking a car in your living room.

I decided to see what would be made following your prompt. Here's the image.

Seems decent. Doesn't really have the warmth of a home, but that's more on the prompt specifying house without further detail. I took it a step further and told it to add a couch and a lamp like in the logo in the op.

I definitely prefer the freelancer one but I don't think it's bad. Certainly better than the logo in the op lmao.

Edit: given where I am I should probably specify I think it's not bad compared to the trash fire that is the ai logo in the op. Design wise it's very lazy and looks like someone threw in a pair of icons from an icon pack into a house in a generic way. The two assets in the house do not feel like they exist within the same space.

Hentai getting banned on SA is what caused Moot to found 4chan.

These seem to be the four major points:

clear and transparent pricing and pre-contractual information;
avoiding practices hiding the costs of in-game digital content and services, as well as practices forcing consumers to purchase virtual currency;
respect of consumers' right of withdrawal;
respecting consumer vulnerabilities, in particular when it comes to children;

First one actually seems pretty well covered by Warframe already. Second point can be met just by displaying the real currency price next to the plat price, calculated based on what people on average give per plat when purchasing through the Warframe website. Third point... Yeah that's going to be a point of contention for sure. That'll require a redesign of the plat system. Fourth point I'd also say Warframe does. Their 'oh shit' moment when they ended up creating a slot machine with, what was it, kubrow skins? Demonstrates them actually caring about this already. Basically they saw people interacting with a new mechanic much like one would a slot machine, and then soon after rolled it back and refunded everyone who had spent money on it.
