Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code (cyberinsider.com)

Rockstar Games’ servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking...

I wish more games came with couch co-op. It was a lot of fun in Halo and Diablo.

Muffi ,

Look up The Minerva model

Muffi ,

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

Muffi ,

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

[rant] I want computers to become personal again

There was a golden age when computers were something you owned, not like before when they were big machines your employer or university would give out access to, nor like after when they went to the cloud, you bought what was essentially a thin client and every software became a service....

I hope I live to see the death of private banking. It’s insane how much of the fuckery in the world that originates in banking.

While we’re at it, give Kurdistan back to the Kurds as well

Muffi ,

Definitely making tortillas tonight, thanks for the inspiration

Muffi ,

A lot of glass bottles aren’t melted down, but simply washed and reused.

Muffi ,

I rarely enjoy schadenfreude, but I will savor every moment of the fall of Mr. Beast, the cancer of YouTube.

Muffi ,

Never underestimate the effect dust can have on airflow and cooling in general

Muffi ,

Tech bros underestimating the complexity of real life yet again

Muffi ,

Whatever the exact opposite of this is, give me some of that

Muffi ,

Enjoy your meal! :)

Muffi ,

Homeschooling sure is… Something!

Muffi ,

In Denmark we call it “cucumber times”, when the news have nothing to report on during summer. BBC seems to have taken that term very literally.

Muffi ,

Maybe we need to teach them the kinds of things that AI can’t do, instead of the same old crap?

Muffi ,

Congratulations!

Muffi ,

Or a simple quick choice during the cutscenes, the first time that kind of scene comes up. Brutal Legend does this in such a great way.

Muffi ,

It was tough, but I had an absolute blast 100%'ing Neon White and Hades

Muffi ,

It’s dangerous to deal drugs to famous people. The police will actually care and investigate if they overdose. Take note, ketamine dealers!

Muffi ,

Because that is totally not the case in America…

Muffi ,

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).

In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.

Muffi ,

Rayman and Cosmere board game kickstarters in the same week? This’ll be tough on my wallet

Muffi ,

What are the main differences, for someone considering going from Firefox to Librewolf?

Muffi ,

Also, a lot of Scandinavian libraries are switching their public desktop PCs to Linux.

Muffi ,

For a democracy to work it’s people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.

Muffi ,

LightBurn should hire better developers then

Muffi ,

I’m so glad that I live in a big city, where there are hundreds of awesome small burger joints that sell better quality burgers at a much lower price.

Muffi ,

This saved my ass at my engineering chemistry exam (still a requirement, even for software engineers) where only offline tools were allowed. Love Kiwix!

Muffi ,

Best value for money if you like deckbuilders and rogue likes. Fantastic game. The second one is coming out next year!

Muffi ,

Great game!

Muffi ,

I’m having a blast just traveling around looking at stuff in VR in this game. After about 25 hours I still have no idea what the actual gameplay is supposed to be.

Muffi ,

Didn’t even notice at first. It’s almost too poetic.

Muffi ,

And not a single of those things will matter or be remembered after the great climate collapse.

Muffi ,

Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?

Sacramento high school biology final includes racist questions, targets students (www.sacbee.com)

A Luther Burbank High School freshman was surprised to read his full name included on a biology final. Not only that, but he was being ridiculed. “In high school, there are individuals who are cross-eyed like (the name of a fellow student) and (the name of the student previously mentioned), which is a dominant trait. We call...

Muffi ,

Seems like this teacher has some mental health issues. Hope they get help and the students get a reexam.

McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream (www.techdirt.com)

LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum...

Muffi ,

I think we are about to experience a true Butlerian Jihad. Not because of the fearsome power of AI, but because of the hatred of shitty LLMs.

Muffi ,

I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.

Muffi ,

Great! Now I know who to contact when I accidentally delete all the plaintext API keys and passwords I had stored in a public github repo.

Muffi ,

Oh boy, Lemmy really doesn’t get sarcasm without the “/s”, huh?

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple’s claim that...

Muffi ,

Every time I compare specs to prices on Apples website, I get irrationally angry.

Muffi ,

Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.

Muffi ,

And 99% of computer use for most people is in a browser. No need for an overly complex OS, with constant stupid pop-ups to ruin that browser experience.

Muffi ,

He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads

Muffi ,

Voting days should be mandatory holidays

Muffi ,

It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.
