There is a Pokemon competitive player named Chuppa Cross IV. Which means not only that somebody was unironically named Chuppa, but also his father, and his grandfather, and his greatgrandfather as well.

Well, if you talk about the newest AI-powered UTAU voicebanks, that’s because the developers finally thought about crossing the streams, and instead of having the singers merely pronounce syllables in several pitches, they used that data (expanded to also include several syllable clusters) to train an AI. Unlike most trained AI models, where the voice samples are recorded from live performances, so they vary in quality and on data points for each individual syllable, these have the full set of voice training data prerecorded by design, so the quality of every possible combination of phonemes is as clear as possible.
Know what would solve this problem once and for all? If people collectively decided to boycott “popular culture” and entertain themselves without bowing to the copyright industry
My mom likes to do assorted crafts, so we have a few painted adornments, even a 3D painting of sorts she made using some specialized putty and acrylic paint. It looks real nice, I should upload a picture of it later.

If anything, I expect the measure to encourage people to not drink coffee at all, or to wait until they’re home instead.
Personally, the plastic bag ban has resulted in me just purchasing much less or avoiding purchases entirely, especially if it’s something I’m unable to carry to my home with my bare hands. In hindsight that has reduced a lot of primary waste as well
“Eh, my next salary is coming soon”
Not only have I cancelled them almost a decade ago - I don’t even watch series or movies anymore, and barely listen to music outside of the radio. I’m disgusted with the many crimes committed by Big Media and want to have as little as possible to do with it.
While I’m not entirely sure about this reasoning, it might be related to the status of soy as a meat and milk substitute. Omnivores claiming that “soy is not meant for human consumption in the same way that milk and meat are” must have eventually been shortened along the way as “soy is not meant for human consumption”.
If you want to make it the easy way, yes. If you can handle using Linux as your sole daily driver system (or can manage to configure a virtual machine to run on boot over Windows while opening all the required ports in both Windows and the VM): not necessarily
Or basically anyone from the Mexican North. To the point where “norteño” is almost a synonym with “cousin-kisser”.
Costa Rica: Not exactly a province per se, but the canton of San Carlos
The origin point of the universe, if we lean into the secular sense
I’m seriously tempted to cross-post this to !nottheonion@lemmy.world
Personally, I’ve been boycotting plenty of things during the years because of the crusade against piracy. If Big Media is spending so much effort into ensuring that people that can’t pay don’t have access to their works, then fine, I’ll boycott those works just to prove their actual point - that what they want is to earn more money, not to have their artwork locked in a box due to lack of buyers.
If I ever find someone with enough hardware and electronics knowledge to revive those two boards (in Central America I should add), I’d just give them up for free for all I care.
