I haven't seen a Darths & Droids reference in the wild in a while.
I remember just cackling the first time I read their Episode I comics.

Have you played Caesar 3 with the Augustus mod? Its like a whole new game. It adds a ton and there's even a whole fan-made campaign.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 mods installed for Rimworld. The in-game mod management system is pretty basic and simply does not cut it. Definitely interested in more management options.
There are islands out there. If you truly think you would prefer that life you can just... go do it.
You don't even need an island. You could wander off into the jungle of Vietnam and never hear from society again.
Copilot is a LLM. So it's just predicting what should come next, word by word, based off the data its been fed. It has no concept of whether or not its answer makes sense.
So if you've scraped a bunch of open source github projects that this guy has worked on, he probably has a lot of TODOs assigned to him in various projects. When Copilot sees you typing "TODO(" it tries to predict what the nextthing you're going to type is. And a common thing to follow "TODO(" in it's data set is this guy's username, so it goes ahead and suggests it, whether or not the guy is actually on the project and suggesting him would make any sort of sense.
Extremely disappointed to discover that this isn't by the other Edward Teach. Please give me Blackbeard's extensively sourced treatise on porn.
Hello there, sounds like you're experiencing survivorship bias.
Its rare for you to see this, sure. Same for everyone else. But people aren't here to post screenshots of "look at this website where I didn't get flagged for having an ad blocker." So we just see a lot of screenshots where it is a problem, because that's what is noteworthy. There isn't someone out there getting flagged on every single website they open, we're just sampling a large population of user for only the websites where people do get flagged.
Why are we talking about this at all? Because it is becoming more common and more intrusive. This example is particularly egregious because you're already on the website to give them money. They're complaining to the user they they don't get to make money off of them while taking their money, which is ridiculous.
There are actually 4 states that were independent countries at one point or another.
Hawai'i
Texas
California
Vermont
As opposed to French, which famously exists as a natural truth of the universe. Even if we had never discovered French it would still be there... waiting.
