Some users report Firefox scoffing CPU power

: You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

Gordon Ramsey: Fuck me, what is that. Bloody hell. That position is completely indefensible. Why are the archer towers pointed away from the front gate? And look at that pitiful gravy moat. Invaders could cross that with a bloody toothpick. Jesus christ.

I understand the value of artistic liberties but what exactly is Yugio's haircut supposed to be. I've wondered this since childhood

[teaboot]

Yes yes yes its just supposed to look interesting and cool, it's not supposed to translate into the 3D space, but if it did what would it be

[teaboot]

As we can see above, this haircut:

Is dark in the back, blached in the front

split into minimum two groupings: Body and Bangs

Spiked in the back, likely with the use of gel or styling mousse

Obviously this is an anime, and as other features such as eyes, ears, and legs are exaggerated I feel it is safe to interpret the length of hair as exagerrated as well.

This is a convenient assumption because otherwise, spiking shoulder-lrngth hair into seven (minimum) rigid vertical spikes would be impossible to maintain.

Assuming a real-life Yugio haircut could exist as inspiration got this style, I imagine a haircut that is either short and spiked in the back with natural bangs, or long in the back and textured with shorter bangs to frame the face. Either way, either the front is bleached, or the additional blond spikes in the back could be interpreted as highlights throughout the darker, perhaps natural hair.

Given these criteria, I have narrowed the possibilities dow to these three hair styles:

No fourth option because I'm right

[gallusrostromegalus]

So there is a definitive answer for this, according to the people I know who Cosplay Yugi/Yami of Yugioh and style wigs for it: They start with No-Bangs Bobcut , Dye it the appropriate colors but in the same pattern as "That Thing" (AKA 'White bangs") above, usually by applying sucessive layers of warm colors (yellows, then reds, then warm blacks), and then Gel into a Hyper-Karen Bob.

So it's a Red-shift-White-Bangs-Hyper-Karen-Bob cut-and-color, and that's one hell of a mouthful, so it's fine to just call it a Yugioh for short.

I think I may have a guess for this

Yugi and Atem have slightly different hair, with Atem having a more extreme version of Yugi's hair. However, it is important to note that there is likely no actual physical difference in Yugi and Atem's appearances. His close friends, before finding out Atem existed, simply noticed that Yugi seemed more confident, not that he got taller, voice changed or hair changed. So that might not be diegetic, but a difference for the audience's sake.

It's also worth noting that anime tends to exaggerate things, particularly hairstyles. So in reality, Yugi's hair may be less like this:

But more like this:

This is a bonkers haircut for a shy, quiet, goody two shoes Japanese schoolboy to have

[azuredragoonterra]

That's cus he's goth!

He wears chokers and stuff. He's shy cus nobody talks to the weird goth kid who loves gaming.

It's actually Visual Kei, though there was definitely overlap between the goth/punk subcultures and the Visual Kei world! The author was pretty openly inspired by the Visual Kei culture of the 80's and 90's, which has many many hairstyle examples that are similar to what Yugi wears:

The show itself had many collaborations with Visual Kei performers and bands, too, so it's pretty obvious how the series takes inspiration from the culture aesthetically as well. You can see it in some of the fashion choices, too, not just the hairstyles, as well as how visual kei took cues from and overlapped with goth and punk styles as well:

It's the costume designer in me, but I always think it's important to remember and reference the period and location something was made when you're trying to figure out why it was designed the way it was, and how to realistically recreate it.

Yugioh is very obviously of its time, and that's a good thing! Take a dive into learning about the period subcultures and you'll find lots of cool things there, and a lot of insight into why your favorite things were made the way they were, too. :)

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

[computationalcalculator]

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

[idontgettechnology]

I tested this theory in the wild the other day at work. I was on a call with my department lead and a few other folks and I replied to an email the DL had sent me, thinking that, because he was on this call, he wouldn't notice when I sent it and would not catch me multitasking.

However, he replied to said email within five minutes, asking a question that required an answer. So I answered and was like "Also, I was going to apologize for answering emails during this call, but I see we're both here at the Devil's Sacrament, so I don't think an apology is necessary."

I watched him read that on screen and try not to laugh. And then at the end of the call as everyone started saying goodbye, he goes, "Hey, MJ, I meant to tell you. I like your shoelaces."

And I looked straight into my camera, stone cold serious, and said, "Thanks. I stole them from the president."

And the rest of the team was like, "What...the fuck...?" before he abruptly ended the call for everyone.

So now my DL and I know this about each other. He could be any one of us.

a parent and their idiot children

the party is literally just a parent and their kids, and are either: a. a bard parent trying to avenge their dead dragon lover, and the children trying to help b. a parent who does not want to be a single parent and is searching for a partner, and kids trying to find a lover for the parent so that their parent isn’t lonely

[nudityandnerdery]

Parent thinks this is plot A, the kids think this is plot B.
