Maybe that would be a good thing, maybe it would force people onto Firefox?

ipkpjersi ,

Just not by Internet Archive.

Why not them in particular?

ipkpjersi ,

That does make sense. They do have “more to lose” in that sense.

ipkpjersi ,

We can’t distinguish the number of dead civilians if they keep calling it dozens every time though.

ipkpjersi ,

That’s generally what I’ve found to be the case, shocking that it’s considered so secret lol

ipkpjersi ,

I’m not so sure the blame should solely be placed on the developers - unless you’re using that term colloquially.

Netanyahu says deadly Israeli strike in Rafah was the result of a 'tragic mistake' (apnews.com)

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people....

He considers it a tragic mistake that he got caught, not that it happened.

I bequeath bankruptcy!!!

Wait, what does stalked mean in this context? Aren’t you able to block people on Steam?

ipkpjersi ,

Blocking an account doesn’t really solve the trauma of being scared to accept any friend request since it could be this guy

Oh yeah, that’s a good point.

Steam support did nothing

I’m not surprised. I love Steam, and the service that they provide, but I don’t think their support has ever been particularly outstanding. I’ve had mixed experiences with their support. I’m not sure what they can do about this in general, though. Even if they banned him, that could set him off even more and make him try to harass her even more to the point where it’s non-stop continued and he keeps spamming friend requests, etc.

I guess the idea would be transferring her account to a “new” account, or transferring her games to a “new” account, but yeah they don’t allow that. Damn.

Mine died 9 months out of warranty, last week they told me over the phone that apparently the firmware got corrupted and they have to reprogram it, and it will cost $120 USD + tax + shipping (+ import fees of course). I haven’t heard anything else yet. I sent it off for RMA back on May 7, so it’s been a little while lol

ipkpjersi ,

The symptoms were the internal display went black after an automatic firmware update (you can’t disable firmware updates, they happen automatically) and never came on again, and then external display also went black after working only once. The device would power on, you would hear the fans running, but there was no display and no startup chime.

ipkpjersi ,

Do you really expect people to believe someone who describes defamation as “something else”?

ipkpjersi ,

I still don’t get it, but I didn’t have enough sleep lol

edit: It took me three tries to get my spelling right too

ipkpjersi ,

Ohh, that was her opponent in the last panel, now I get it lol thanks

ipkpjersi ,

Holy shit that’s hilarious LMAO

ipkpjersi ,

As always, nobody could have seen this coming. Of course.

ipkpjersi ,

Collusion and greed. Don’t forget the greed. They don’t deserve to have us forget the disgusting, abhorrent, unfathomable greed.

Follow the 3-2-1 rule for your important data, ideally 4-3-2 or better. Remember, if you only have one copy of your data, you actually have zero copies of your data.

I think it’s a pretty accurate drawing, seems like art to me.

ipkpjersi ,

Toronto and Boston would be funny as hell LOL

ipkpjersi ,

YouTube is getting particularly bad about this to, unfortunately. They need to do more to remove harmful misinformation, but they don’t care because it won’t make them money.

ipkpjersi ,

The unfortunate thing is a lot of people won’t remove it from their recommendations and will watch it, and the worse thing is there’s actually even worse content than those you listed, it’s awful.

ipkpjersi ,

Honestly I prefer having an account specifically so I can filter out the garbage fake harmful dangerous content so I don’t have to see it.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

That’s why I’m always interested in self-hosting. I have my own Plex and Jellyfin seedbox server for the private trackers I’m in, with a VPS hosting an OpenVPN to make it look like I’m in a different country, just to make it that much safer. It works damn well.

ipkpjersi ,

Yep, we are what make these sites important.

ipkpjersi ,

They can just mandate RTO without actually calling it a layoff and know many workers will outright quit, and the business won’t have to comply with whatever local regulations are in place around layoffs.

It depends on where you live. In some countries, if they mandate RTO but your employment contract does not specify that you must work in an office, then that’s a constructive dismissal and you can go on employment benefits like unemployment insurance.

ipkpjersi ,

You’re not wrong and I’m shocked this hasn’t been shut down yet. Not to mention, the Nintendo 64 has been discontinued for years, but I have a feeling that won’t stop Nintendo.

ipkpjersi ,

But it’s just the playtest that is free, not the actual game itself? If they are giving the playtest AND the actual game for free then yeah that makes more sense, but otherwise I think it would likely be considered unconscionable for playtest access to mean they can’t criticize the full game they (eventually) paid for, and thus it would likely be unenforceable.

I think the idea is that she could be arbitrarily detained in China whereas that sort of thing is typically seen as less likely in the west.

First a nearly unprecedented world-wide pandemic followed almost immediately by record-breaking layoffs then AI taking over the world, man it is really not a good time to start out as a newer developer. I feel so fortunate that I started working full-time as a developer nearly a decade ago.

ipkpjersi ,

I think it depends on where you live. Hiring didn’t go crazy where I live, but the layoffs afterwards sure did.

ipkpjersi ,

I find it ironic that they claim any sleight against them to be antisemitic.

It’s because it’s the easiest thing they can do. If you claim someone is racist, everyone will (usually) automatically believe you.

ipkpjersi ,

My salary sure isn’t raising lol

ipkpjersi ,

One of my former classmates actually likes COBOL and tried to get a job in it since it was his main programming language but couldn’t and ended up doing help desk. I guess it probably matters where you live too.

ipkpjersi ,

Yeah, I put on Blinding Lights.

I know this is going to sound bad but bear with me and read my entire post. I think in this case it might be that people are trying to hate on Tesla because it’s Elon (and fair enough) rather than self-driving itself. Although there’s also the side of things that self-driving vehicles are already very likely safer than human-driven ones, have lower rates of accidents, etc but people expect there to be zero accidents whatsoever with self-driving which is why I think self-driving may never actually take off and become mainstream. Then again, there’s the lack of accountability, people prefer being able to place the blame and liability on something concrete, like an actual human. It’s possible I’m wrong but I don’t think I am wrong about this.

edit: I looked further into this, and it seems I am partially wrong. It seems that Tesla is not keeping up with the average statistics in the automotive industry in terms of safety statistics, the self-driving in their vehicles seem less safe than their competitors.

ipkpjersi , (edited )

But if a human driver is dangerous, and gets put in jail or get taken off the roads, there are likely already more dangerous human drivers taking their place. Not to mention, genuine accidents, even horrific ones, do happen with human drivers. If the rate of accidents and rate of fatal accidents with self-driving vehicles is way down versus human drivers, you are actually risking your life more by trusting in human drivers and taking way more risks that way. Having someone be accountable for your death doesn’t matter if you’ve already died because of them.

Is it any better if you have “Killed by Bill Johnson’s SUV” on your headstone?

ipkpjersi , (edited )

The question isn’t “are they safer than the average human driver?”

How is that not the question? That absolutely is the question. Just because someone is accountable for your death doesn’t mean you aren’t already dead, it doesn’t bring you back to life. If a human driver is actively dangerous and get taken off the road or put in jail, there are very likely already plenty more taking that human drivers place. Plus genuine accidents, even horrific ones, do happen with human drivers. If the death rate for self-driving vehicles is really that much lower, you are risking your life that much more by trusting in human drivers.

ipkpjersi ,

Twitter does the same thing and it’s horrible lmao

ipkpjersi ,

It probably would have been worth specifying this is for the USA, since not everyone lives in the USA.

ipkpjersi ,

I feel so bad for laughing at this lmao

ipkpjersi ,

At least in mine, short of something along the lines of corporate espionage or insider trading

Normally that would be covered by something like an NDA or Non-Solicitation, rather than a Non-comp - or even just federal law for something like insider trading.

It’s true though, Non-comps are usually unfair and unnecessary and overly restrictive.

ipkpjersi ,

I’m shocked that people are only just now finding out that massive companies like Google are evil. Google replaced don’t be evil with be evil.

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

ipkpjersi ,

Mine curves to the left.

ipkpjersi ,

How should we deal with this issue then? I’m not sure what can be done about it.

ipkpjersi ,

The society we are living in can be handling things incorrectly but it can absolutely have real-world damaging effects. As a collective we should worry about our society, but individuals absolutely are and should be justified in worrying about their lives being damaged by this.

ipkpjersi ,

You’ve lost this argument when you don’t even know what the argument is about.

The problem isn’t what is actually under because only you or people you choose would know that, the problem is it appears like it’s what is actually under your clothes.
