TheEighthDoctor ,

I’m having a hard time seeing any bill get passed that supports the rights of users to watch videos without the ads that support the creators and the platform that they’re watching.

We should reach a compromise of having skippable ads in the beginning only, for example. In other pages it could be that ads cannot be bigger than 10% of the content being delivered on the page.

It’s not always all or nothing, good regulation listens to both sides and reaches a compromise in the middle, but good regulation is getting harder and harder to come by.

Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions (www.tomshardware.com)

Modern AI data centers consume enormous amounts of power, and it looks like they will get even more power-hungry in the coming years as companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI strive towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). Oracle has already outlined plans to use nuclear power plants for its 1-gigawatt...

TheEighthDoctor ,

The fact that they want to buy an old nuclear reactor instead of building a new one should be all you need to know to realise that it’s not financially viable.

TheEighthDoctor ,

I made one to decompose polynomials it was very good because it showed all the steps it was literally just copy what’s on the calc to the page

TheEighthDoctor ,

I’m very interested in which other products are being “made” by BAC Consulting

TheEighthDoctor ,

Or AZERTY in this case

Is Ryze Mushroom Coffee Just Another Craze?

There have been so many “breakthroughs” from eating beets to this new mushroom coffee for all kinds of miracle remedies. Is there any benefit at all and why can’t you make it your self by pulverizing dried mushrooms of the same variety they use into powder and making the coffee yourself?

TheEighthDoctor ,

Just drink Lion’s Mane tea, probably much cheaper

TheEighthDoctor ,

Isn’t that a textbook monopolistic practices lawsuit?

TheEighthDoctor ,

But the picture I saw said “get this app from play” not, “get this app from a trusted store”. That to me does not read DRM.

TheEighthDoctor ,

So, 24 years ago? If so, I’m right there with you in the “getting old” camp.

TheEighthDoctor ,

Another one for the Axis of Evil

TheEighthDoctor ,

A wrong action for the right reasons is still a wrong action

TheEighthDoctor ,

Any grup with Russia is the evil group. United Nations is just a forum.

TheEighthDoctor ,

Now give us DirectX on Linux

Hungary's foreign minister accuses EU of disrupting oil supplies from Russia (www.reuters.com)

Hungary’s foreign minister said on Saturday the European Commission’s decision not to mediate in a dispute over a blockage of oil supplies from Russia via Ukraine into his country suggested that Brussels was behind the stoppage....

TheEighthDoctor ,

And?

TheEighthDoctor ,

I used it to connect a generator to the wall and give me some temporary power in my house when I was renovating. It’s only dangerous if you are stupid.

TheEighthDoctor ,

I mean, driving a car is dangerous, everything has a risk inherent to it but you can minimise it by being prudent.

TheEighthDoctor ,

Do you understand what a proof of concept is? No one is saying this is the next “lifehack” for unlimited storage.

TheEighthDoctor ,

I was thinking the same, if the ladder does not have splashes of paint and cement all over it’s sus.

TheEighthDoctor ,

I’m really enjoying my Mint 22 experience, the only downside is that I have to switch to windows to play Once Human.

TheEighthDoctor , (edited )

Yes, i saw that, I was troubleshooting it for a while and when I got it to run the performance was ass but today I tired again and basically the problem is that the game must absolutely not be run from an HDD. It’s running fine on linux now.

TheEighthDoctor ,

From the news piece it seems more like a case of contraband gone missing than someone trying to poison children, each package would be worth 18000$ street price.

TheEighthDoctor ,

I have to try it again, the first time I tried I didn’t understand anything or what I was suppose to be doing.

TheEighthDoctor ,

I don’t understand the downvotes, just look at this video of Putin executing civilians in cold blood:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrGZ66uKcl0

Oh wait, that’s not Putin it’s the “inocent” russian soliders that deserve empathy and kindness

TheEighthDoctor ,

Hi, it’s me your friend!

TheEighthDoctor ,

AI to summarize and recommend content, helping users dive deeper into products, shows, games

Notice they don’t talk about hobbies or common interests, just “shit we can sell them”

TheEighthDoctor ,

They could make a system that doesn’t allow the vehicle to speed but I guess allowing it and then snitching is better

Logitech CEO Wants to Sell You a Subscription-Based 'Forever Mouse' (gizmodo.com)

During a recent episode of The Verge’s Decoder podcast, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber shed some possible insight into the company’s view on one of its most important products. Saying that “the mouse built this house,” Faber shares the planning behind a Forever Mouse, a premium product that the company hopes will be the last...

TheEighthDoctor ,

They’ll remove any mice from the market that doesn’t have a subscription model and others will follow suit.

Good luck with removing aliexpress mice from the market

TheEighthDoctor ,

The curl command is a hacking tool for copyright infringement.

TheEighthDoctor ,

He can kill them all and declare it an official act

TheEighthDoctor ,

I’m more interested in Mint 22

TheEighthDoctor ,

So if I make AI porn of a celebrity but give her a face tattoo saying AI generated then its legal?

TheEighthDoctor ,

But that is not what the bill says, the reasonable person is not evaluating my intent, it’s evaluating if the video is “indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction of the individual” which in this case it would be very distinguishable since the individual does not have said face tattoo.

TheEighthDoctor ,

Temporary card goes brrr

TheEighthDoctor ,

Why do you need to see what celebs post? I never had twitter and for sure I will never have X, honestly I never understood the point, is it Facebook with smaller posts?

TheEighthDoctor ,

Not sure. My significant other used to follow football games on there while I was watching them live because she felt it help her understand what was going on. From what I saw it was good at having quick updates, but terrible at relaying accurate information. Mostly just dumb opinions that were proven wrong seconds later. It helped her learn people’s names though, not so much anything more about positions, formations, plays, or any kind of strategy. All of the drama with none of the reason it seemed to me, but I was bias I’m sure.

I can relate to that, I normally go to those websites that have the live stats and stuff but I wouldn’t create an account just for that.

TheEighthDoctor ,

There’s a lot of content now but I feel it being a bit disconnected from each other as if it was many minigames inside of a pirate game engine (not that this is a bad thing but it never captured me)

TheEighthDoctor ,

Big oof

TheEighthDoctor ,

It would, you don’t see people screaming “Republican Party!”, you see them screaming “Trump!”.

TheEighthDoctor ,

Not really, it died in Spain with Franco and in Italy with Mussolini and there was no second coming of the Nazi party in Argentina where all the officials ran to.

TheEighthDoctor ,

EU is such a joke for letting Hungary have presidency

TheEighthDoctor ,

I’m aware of that, still shouldn’t have been allowed, they shouldn’t even be in the EU to begin with.

TheEighthDoctor ,

That’s what I was thinking, your car starts doing something fucking stupid and you just let it?

TheEighthDoctor ,

I can tell you wank with your eyes closed :D

TheEighthDoctor ,

I have thoughts and prayers for the bullet that couldn’t do it’s job

TheEighthDoctor ,

I would if I could

TheEighthDoctor ,

Have you ever been there or just seen the photos?
