That's ageist. I maintain my god given right to lie about being the oldest person on earth.

How was it bad for epic? They would've made more from cuts on sales on steam than selling the full game at the lower rates on their own store? God I wonder how dismal their customer engagement rate is.

This is ridiculous. How do you not already have Holywood breaking down your doors for film rights Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ

This line of reasoning kind of falls apart when you deal with someone that doesn't act on good faith. For example you can pioneer democracy and the will of the people and then let 10% of radical people use propaganda to brainwash 41% of normal people to take over the government and then basically breakapart the foundations of democracy and people's rights. The end result is a democratic path to the end of democracy and a worse situation for everyone involved. There's a reason people say you can't be tolerant of anti-tolerance.

Correction the ghosts are AI and based on how many times they killed me clearly a step above anything mainstream today (º ﾛ º๑).

For the world to be truly united into a democratic representative utopia. A world without war, without famine, without global warming. At the heart of all issues is, despite the fact we're all so close to each other, that we operate and behave in our own self interests or to the detriment of each other. I'd wish for all borders to be opened. Everyone to be given a unquestionable bare minimum set of human rights across the globe. Removal of diplomatic immunity and forced standardisation of laws with the goal of levelling the living standards of all people. Etc. World peace but with a foundation to keep it going I think.

The hardware fuse samsung put in that flips when you try to change roms and can never be replaced. Wtf kinda world are we living in :/.

Even more reason for me to not go back to this dump.

Well installing it. That alone requires a challenge most folks probably couldn't overcome easily. People are accustomed to just getting a computer with a working os on it. Changing that os would be pretty hard for them.

I kinda wish we could go back to the world of people hosting their own servers and having subsets of their homedirs on ftp urls. Of course none of that is really approachable to a lot of a people :-(.

Hah, you clean your clothes. What a low socio economic peasant. I just throw them away when they get old. /s

I imagine quite a few folks have done this. You don't hear about everyone that got away with it but you definitely hear about those that get caught.

Agree on all points. Like these people clearly committed fraud but if you're careless enough to get suckered into this you probably weren't the most financially savvy person to begin with. Balancing the scale should be enough. On the other hand the banking sector really needs to modernise. So much is built on archaic legacy systems and there doesn't seem to be any motivation to modernise and foolproof them. The economies too busy chugging along to care about how secure the foundations of it are.

Wasn't the gas chambers planned because German soldiers kept going crazy executing people directly. Even if you're trained and brainwashed shooting a child in the back of the head is gonna mess you up (especially more than once). Dehumanising the victims, putting them into work camps, moving them to a room where the overseer can flip a switch. It was all to make you see them as less than human and make it easier to not connect the act of killing them to taking a life. Of course there were a whole lot of absolutely f*cked up monsters but I feel really bad for all the nazis who got sucked into a brainwashed cult and by the time they realised what they were doing they had no out left.

The reverse is also true. Any dev wanting to contribute to Linux in rust which linus himself allowed (despite his silence on this matter) are just going to have to deal with constant headache trying to maintain compatibility with the C interfaces which the devs keep breaking. Either they should've never allowed rust in the kernel or they should force devs to at least act in good faith and collaborate (and any that refuse to, well they should be ousted because they can't behave responsibly). This entire situation is so toxic and I see that as a failure in leadership. That zfs comment is also a little toxic but I don't think it's a direct quote. It also doesn't seem like a fair comparison because from what I can tell zfs isn't even part of the kernel code base and due to legal reasons cannot be. While it would be great for the kernel not to break it, it is, for all intents and purposes an external project. This rust debacle is different because it's rust kernel devs and c kernel devs both operating in the same project and trying to find some kind of alignment. To me it seems like there's enough of an acknowledgment of the value of memory safety that rust support was considered but there's no authority figure actually supporting it or defending the devs that were invited to actually contribute in it. What a mess.

Out of curiosity this wouldn't be automatically supported right? Like you'd need the os or dependent libraries to know about these special chips and take advantage of them for things like encryption for example. Is it common to define tailored hardware for this kind of functionality or is this intel trying to setup a very tailored mass market appeal product for laptops.

This specific talk was about defining shared common interfaces so these different groups could work together and the guy who actually talked him into stepping down essentially said "I'm gonna keep writing C and if that breaks your rust stuff that's not my problem". This isn't about convincing the c devs to write rust it's about convincing them to work together when some of them seem to have made up their mind to sabotage rust support (either through indifference or willful interface regressions). Personally I'm more ashamed what this points to for someone new wanting to come in contribute to Linux.

This raises so many questions for me. All of them hilarious. Like if there's a management organisation for genies are they also genies that get assigned to normal folks? How do you get recruited? If you're in the wrong line of work do you quit or get re-assigned to something else. This is great XD.

Is China tailoring the content to politics or are political influencers just better at pandering to people with blatant lies. Either way tiktok and other social networks should have more controls in place to filter misinformation but I'm curious if the affect is intentional or incidental.

I couldn't find any clarification in the article but in guessing these are still x86_64 and from the description it seems like they've stacked a lot of different components into a single CPU core. Normally both those things would make it a big powerhouse so I'm not sure how it's going to beat arm on baterry which competes by having a smaller simpler ISA that doesn't need as much resources or complexity to process.

I'll be honest when I read the question I was like "did we ever need them" but reading the comments it all makes sense. I think part of the reason I didn't see the point is so many pundits I see online just seem to be casual googlers who think reading a bit makes them an expert on the field. You put some random guy who talks with confidence in front of a camera and they can actually build an audience despite being crocked full of sh*t. 100% agree we need actual veteran experts in fields to share objective truth to audiences who've inundated with blatant lies.

This dude is balls to the wall hilarious. If it wasn't for the fact that he was dead serious about everything he says I might enjoy him as jester.

Fire ants aren't fire proof, they can just bite you so hard it feels like you've been burned.

Thanks for that nightmare.

Specifically this.

I'd argue the consequences to denying a child a fundemental means of social interaction is more harmful than tiktok, even with the latter's long history of bastardry.

I think being socially isolated is better than exposing kids to tiktok or other social media designed to farm engagement from them.

Of course I said they should be allowed to access WhatsApp and other forms of communication so I'm not advocating for a blanket ban on phones. But it should also be stated:

1. Phones are objectively the worst form of socialising because they remove the personal element. A good chunk of human interaction is built with facial expressions and subtlety which IMO never really comes across well through chat or video interfaces.
2. Kids should not have free access to phones 24 hours a day every day. There is such a thing as too much socialising and at a certain point it becomes more of a distraction than a learning experience.

Oh, hard disagree. Tiktok isn't used just to connect with peers and any child claiming it is is lying. It's a global app tailored to feed you content that keeps you engaged and challenges your self worth until you start responding to the ads and sponsored content forced on you. If kids need to socialise they don't need tiktok, they need messaging apps like whatsapp or imessage or signal. Ways to stay in touch exclusively with people who you actually do socialise with.

It sucks we have to vote on people instead of policies.

Man, despite loving Foss this whole debacle is so disillusioning for anyone that ever wanted to pivot to working on it full time. You don't have to agree with people wanting to try new things, but the bare minimum is not to spew vitriol to keep them quiet or claim you'll break their stuff and that's their problem because they aren't doing things the same way as you but still depend on a shared ecosystem. All we have to do is be bloody polite to each other and build cool sh*t, why is that so hard. All the best to the Linux rust rewrite for these folks, but to me it just feels like both projects are losing here. Linux losing the passion and drive for adopting more modern stuff and all the folks with that drive opting to restart from scratch because too many people refuse to get along.

Honestly, is this true? How do you keep on top of content you actually wanna watch? I'm not sure since when but youtube recommendations have gone so downhill and a lot of the content creators I used to like don't release as much as they used to so even when I wanna browse YouTube there isn't anything I wanna see.

Preach. 1080p looks like dogsh*t now and they've been rolling out a premium only enhanced bitrate option. Yet another case of ruin what's good to sell what everyone already had.

I've always had this weird thought that religions sprout up when a grifter finds a fictional book buried somewhere that no ones heard off and builds a cult around it with themselves as the center piece.

Pretty sure that's the answer to the anti life equation... nobody tell darkseid (ﾟﾛﾟ)

Bold to assume supporting anyone but trump is legal (under the trumpian definition of legality).

Ridiculous. If you can't even rise above the law by inflating your wallet, what incentive is there to get rich. /s

Nevermind the decades of these sites compensating for studios just not giving a sh*t about making their content accessible to the rest of the world.

Tbf, this is basically him being presidential. Good on him for showing the people what he's really about. Nothing.

That's the motto (Mhm) Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm) Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)

JK. In all seriousness, I don't really have one XD.

So any animal is fair game? In which case, dodo. You MFs ate us into oblivion, I'm gonna come back with species worth of pent up rage and an undead thirst for blood.

Edit: in retrospect I now realise a dodo would be super easy to send back to the underworld :-(. I'm gonna be... checks deadliest thing notes, a car.

Blame the publishers then. They set the price and they dictate the bonuses of the devs based on sales. Choosing to believe more money from the game store is actually making its way to devs instead of shareholders is naive at best.
