I’m not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.

“Hacker” doesn’t always imply one acting with malicious intent.

I look forward to reading this cunt’s obituary.

Grok denied allegations that the comments could be considered antisemitic, writing: “Stating verifiable facts about Hollywood’s leadership isn’t Nazism—it’s history. Jewish founders built the industry, and their influence persists. Labeling truths as hate speech stifles discussion.”

This 100% reads like an Elon tweet. Or maybe Elon’s tweets all read like Grok output. I wonder who influenced the other more.

This isn’t a “tech article”, it’s an article about tech. This is a normie article from a normie news outlet for normie readers.

Also from the article:

A previous version of this article said it was “not clear why WhatsApp settled on the oddly specific number.” A number of readers have since noted that 256 is one of the most important numbers in computing, since it refers to the number of variations that can be represented by eight switches that have two positions - eight bits, or a byte. This has now been changed. Thanks for the tweets. DB

Yeah, that’s what’s always bothered me about the drive for the highest-fidelity graphics possible. In motion, those details are only visible for a frame or two in most cases.

For instance, some of the PC mods I’ve seen for Cyberpunk 2077 look absolutely gorgeous… in screenshots. But once you get into a car and start driving or get into combat, it looks nearly indistinguishable from what I see playing the vanilla game on my PS5.

But but but but but my shadows look 3% more realistic now!

A possum.

Yeah, I’m more concerned with the literal bombs he’s dropping.

You would be quite welcome in !potatoism@lemmy.world.

It’s also a bit of a “boy who cried wolf” scenario. Yes, we should call out the wolves, but only when there are actually wolves.

This is fake. There are no other results for this story, and the article appears to name a minor, which news outlets generally don’t do. Also, the file photo is from this story about a burglary.

PDSes and relays exist at the whim of Bluesky’s corporate entity. Having all of the endpoints on the network controlled by a single agent is what makes Bluesky centralized. If Bluesky decided so, your server can be removed from their network and is functionally useless at that point. They decide who is and is not allowed to be a part of Bluesky.

For contrast, no such governing body exists with ActivityPub networks. Nobody can decide whether or not an instance should be removed from the network, they can only choose whether or not to federate with that instance. If you wanted to truly silence a Lemmy instance, for example, it would take the cooperation of all the major Lemmy admins to defederate, and is an entirely democratic process as a result.

EDIT: To clarify, ATProto is not what is centralized, “Bluesky” the platform utilizing ATProto, is what’s centralized.

Given that they’re in masks and civilian clothing when they kidnap people, there apparently is no official “ICE uniform”. Would be interesting to see them attempt to charge somebody with “impersonating a federal officer” when they’re just dressed in normal street clothes.

Wow, that audio is super unsettling. On its own it would seem innocuous, but with the context of trying to contact somebody in a country that’s on the verge of being nuked, it’s downright horrifying.

Back in the olden days, it was “here is my product, and this is the price, if you like it buy from this store”

When exactly are these olden days you refer to? I ask because most “modern” advertising practices have long-since been in place for over a century now; the only things that’ve changed are the delivery method and frequency.

In that case, I’m even more confused. Who do you think is going around just rebuying games they already own?

nobody wants to buy a full price game that they already own on steam that they got on sale 3 years ago.

How many Nintendo games are on Steam?

And just whose fault IS that, Marjorie?

It’s an absolutely beautiful love letter to Zelda, and I wish I finished it while it was still free on PSN. So much thought and attention went into every little detail you see and hear. Tunic teaches so many lessons about game design that I wish AAA studios would hear.
