Lol, clearly you haven't been shopping at budget places in the US. The competition is Land O Lakes, "I can't believe it's not butter", or store brand.

Where are you buying your butter, and what brand?

I've used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.

Nice shitpost. Got me for a moment, then I remembered how math worked.

The Nointro group seems to be the most prolific/trustworthy for cartridge based retro stuff, as far as I can tell.

This seems like some prime meme template material. Little guy saying something dumb and big one going "No"

Yeah, as said, that's going to be due to however your TV upscales things.

Getting a dedicated scaler will help, but bear in mind that you're taking an image that's at least 1/4 smaller (might be less than that, can't remember the math off hand) than your screen's native resolution and zooming in on it.

Using most scalers gives you a ton of options for how to zoom in. Straight pixels, bilinear (or trilinear) filtering, and some have various shader effects as well to emulate the style of TVs these consoles were made for.

By using HDMI/VGA you are getting the clearest digital signal version of that image possible, but it's still tiny, and any way you choose to expand it will have pros and cons.

It would be a lot easier to engage with the subculture from the outside if the porn wasn't so prevalent or up-front as it is/had been in the past, and if the weirdest/most socially maladjusted members of the culture didn't tend to be the most attention grabbing (but that's an issue with almost every group online though).

If you're up for it, I'd love to be pointed at some good examples of the subculture outside of the fetish/kink stuff.

Unfortunately there is a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation here. Put overly simply: If we start enforcing copyright in training AI models now, do you really believe that any companies who have already trained their models are really going to just toss them? I'm afraid that it's going to just be regulatory capture where the existing big names just pull the ladder up behind them while still making money off of their stolen content fueled plagiarism machines.

We'll ignore that OpenAI isn't actually profitable for the sake of the argument.

That said, abolishing copyright is quite possibly the stupidest solution I've ever heard for this issue.

Plenty of other great advice. Just tossing in: I would kill to have regularly available reliable childcare outside of my working hours so I could take care of my living space better.

Moving out would complicate that for you.

Is that not a core use case of Lemmy? Just make a community for your theme and post the links.

I'm going to take a flying leap and assume you've never come close to court proceedings.

No serious law firm is doing full page multicolored graphics as watermarks. Flower Lawyers doing what you've described would get a similar response. If this was a picture of the lawyer for the case scowling instead they'd get laughed out of court.

Exactly. This isn't some little iconic flourish in the corner, footer, or the header. There's also some general rule of thumb with watermarks being flagrantly disregarded (keep it simple and monochromatic so it doesn't impact content legibility).

And even if I personally didn't have a problem with it, I would seriously question the competency of any law firm that mis-read their audience so dramatically. I can't imagine many courts looking at that and not having at least an immediate knee jerk reaction of "The hell is this? Are they fucking with us? Is this a joke?" which is an absurdly poor opener to your case as a lawyer.

If some firm got a headshot of the lawyer handling the case scowling and used that as the background of every page in their document they'd be laughed out of court. Just because "dragons are cool" or something doesn't make this any less silly.

Edit: The dragon icon in the footer is perfect if they wanted some visual flair to set them apart, and it's a relatively simple monochromatic design. It just makes it even more absurd that they didn't just use that and instead went for this detailed and visually busy picture.
