Why do these people keep looking at the Matrix as a manual instead of a warning?

jonne ,

I guess someone thought that was one way of getting out of a court date.

jonne ,

Fuck…

jonne ,

Probably a more likely scenario.

jonne ,

I wonder if it’s the same guy that shot at his opponent’s house last election cycle.

jonne ,

Yeah, that was a cash cow for a few years and now everybody has their phone on vibrate.

jonne ,

He backed down when Brazil blocked him. If Apple and Google decided to threaten to delist Twitter, he’ll back down.

jonne ,

Yeah, if they let this guy go, other innocent people might start getting ideas.

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...

jonne ,

Yeah, I’m actually supportive of some kind of anti cheat on GTA online, because with all the cheating it’s just unplayable. Unfortunately I was playing on steam deck so I haven’t been able to play it since. Presumably it can be supported relatively easy so I hope they fix that issue.

jonne , (edited )

Eh, I was playing it on steam deck, GTA online was just not worth it with all the cheating anyway.

What I don’t get is why they went with the most invasive kernel level stuff instead of doing even the most basic server side checks to check for users doing physically impossible stuff.

jonne ,

It’s just ridiculous the stuff you see that should be easy to catch with basic server checks (even if you were to run them after the fact). Players conjuring money and vehicles out of thin air, moving impossibly fast, vehicles/players with seemingly unlimited hit points, etc. You could easily catch that shit on the server side and ban the cheaters, but instead they go for the most invasive client side shit.

Sure, if you want to stamp out stuff like aim bots and whatever eventually you’ll need to look at the client side of things, but in a decade they didn’t seem to do anything at all.

How was Israel able to send text messages to people in Lebanon warning of impending strikes? (www.nytimes.com)

Israel’s preparations to strike homes and buildings in southern Lebanon where it claimed Hezbollah was storing weapons included calling and texting Lebanese residents to evacuate areas that would come under fire, according to Lebanese and Israeli government officials....

jonne ,

It’s the reason Hamas went entirely low tech, they won’t even use dumb phones or pagers.

jonne ,

Yeah, I meant to say just for communications. They do use more modern tech for weapons (like drones and GoPros).

jonne ,

Maybe Russian hackers got into Boeing’s servers and copied their plans.

jonne ,

Yeah, but the trick is to form that crater away from your launchpad.

jonne ,

I mean, he probably shouldn’t be talking about drag queens.

jonne ,

It’s probably both. You find an excuse to raise prices, you build in some extra margin so you only have to raise the price in one big go instead of smaller increments that better reflect market prices. Your competitors do the same, and you just tell everyone there’s nothing you can do, it’s just inflation.

jonne , (edited )

Yeah, I have the same issue with WhatsApp. I have a group with my wife and parents that my parents just called myfirstname/wifefirstname, which makes no sense to us (on our end we’d like to call it ‘jonne’s parents’ or whatever).

Same with any other group chat we’d like to start that includes a tradie or whatever.

I’m sure it’s fun for your average plumber to have 50 different group chats with clients that are all called ‘plumber’.

jonne ,

It’s like 1-2% for pretty much any crime. They’re basically there because you need a police report to make an insurance claim.

Hollywood can’t ditch its Teslas fast enough: “They’re destroying their leases and walking away” (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

Tesla is reportedly planning a reveal of its self-driving robotaxi on the Warner Bros. lot amid widespread anger in the industry over the brand’s controversial CEO, Elon Musk, resulting in a rejection of its cars.

jonne ,

Those things have cameras inside, they just won’t move if another passenger is still inside. There’s definitely questions about how reliable driverless cars are from a safety POV, and a future where you don’t own any transport and are at the mercy of some private corporation, but the stuff you mention is easy to figure out.

jonne ,

In every country the biggest party would be the one that would at least get a first shot at forming a government.

jonne ,

Yes, that ends up happening sometimes, but the winner will at least be allowed to try.

jonne ,

Steam itself doesn’t run the games, right? Couldn’t they easily build a small 32 bit launcher for the older games that need it?

jonne ,

Pretty sure anyone that’s left are the guys that bought into the Elon mystique, so they sort of got what they signed up for.

jonne ,

In that case, Biden would still be on the ballot.

jonne ,

And to do it in a state where it literally doesn’t matter? Montana was going to go red regardless, so it’s just stupid to do it there.

jonne ,

He’s not winning the primary.

jonne ,

This is turning into the whole ananas / pineapple thing where English is the outlier again.

jonne ,

I think Twitter got loaded up with billions of debt during acquisition, so I’m not sure you’d actually want it.

jonne ,

I guess you could build something on top of that. Install a Mastodon server, push a rebranded Mastodon client to the app stores and you’re in business.

Cards Against Humanity sues SpaceX, alleges “invasion” of land on US/Mexico border (arstechnica.com)

Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX yesterday, alleging that Elon Musk’s firm illegally took over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that the party-game company bought in 2017 in an attempt to stymie then-President Trump’s attempt to build a wall....

jonne ,

They put up a fence around it, and now they’re suing somebody for trespassing on it.

jonne ,

Nice

jonne ,

So why the fuck is he here instead of on Twitter?

jonne ,

That would be super pathetic, so I guess it’s likely.

jonne ,

So we should believe Hamas about this, but not when they talk about the Gaza death toll?

jonne ,

Yeah, throw it on the pile.

jonne , (edited )

There’s a bunch of indications / conspiracy theories that it might have been a lab leak. Basically there’s not really a way to know unless the Chinese government starts being more forthcoming with information.

The main reason the conspiracy theory started is because the city where it started had a world renowned virus research facility in it.

Of course, the reason the facility is there in the first place is because Wuhan province is a place where a lot of viruses originate naturally (in bat colonies), so it makes sense you research the viruses close to their natural reservoir.

jonne ,

Out of all people you’d expect a sheriff to be able to navigate the legal system to get the guy locked up without landing in prison himself. Provided this is real, obviously.

jonne ,

Yep, I doubt the chatbot has direct access to the inventory.

jonne ,

You probably need to stay within a certain ratio of returns vs keeping stuff, and as long as your score is good, they’ll honour returns without asking too much questions. We definitely return a lot of stuff without having any trouble, but we only return like less than 1% compared to what we buy.

jonne ,

Because of you, Bezos isn’t a trillionaire yet, I hope you’re happy.

jonne ,

There’s been plenty of white women affected by this that they didn’t give a shit about either. The racism is just a bonus in this case.

jonne ,

Of never participating in genocide again, right?

jonne ,

And election campaigns only last a few weeks as opposed to the seemingly constant campaign in the US.

And parties publish manifestos with their positions on everything, as opposed to what both major parties are currently doing.

jonne ,

Hezbollah decided to switch to using pagers because you can’t track them. Not sure if anyone else (eg. Medical personnel) was also using them.

jonne ,

They’re not at war with Hezbollah, so it’s just terrorism really.

jonne ,

I bet the employees weren’t teachers.
