Another reason is that you are virtually guaranteed to find any application you need that supports Windows.

ringwraithfish ,

Yep! With Steam Deck pushing more native game support, I hope we see more users get used to the Linux environment and increase the demand on the PC side for better support across all applications.

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

ringwraithfish ,

They probably realized it’s not profitable because 90% of a user’s visits are home, work, store… wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

ringwraithfish ,

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

ringwraithfish ,

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You’re the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say “yeah but if this had happened” or “if they had done this differently”

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that’s not circle jerking over a brand, it’s just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

I see you’re describing a case-by-case basis, but I’m still failing to see how it’s case-by-case. /s

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with “buy online drugs here” links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they’re being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

It’s a difficult problem to solve.

Here’s one: kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795I always see them popping up under [email protected]

I always report. However, I heard that the report only goes to the admin of your instance. Maybe future releases will support cross instance reporting and the ability for admins to “trust” bans by admins from other instances.

ringwraithfish ,

Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user’s home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.

I’ll be dead. They can have all of that.

We ultimately don’t know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what’s going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

ringwraithfish ,

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of “Here’s an AI summary of search results”. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?

ringwraithfish ,

You have some strangely in-depth shower thoughts.

ringwraithfish ,

I’m ok with how Valve is doing things right now. If they followed the same path of EA, Blizzard, and every other big developer from the 90s/00s we’d be on HL5, L4D9 Left for Deadest, TF 3 but it’s a live service on season 15 and constant price increases on the season passes.

Let them experiment and dip their toes into new game types.

They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it’s for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it’s going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.

The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.

ringwraithfish ,

Oof

ringwraithfish ,

Can you fault them though? Everywhere you turn you’re being asked to tip or donate. Influencers and corporations constantly astroturf social media. The rise of LLMs has made it necessary to question every interaction that occurs virtually.

Honestly, I worry for the people who aren’t cynical and how they’re going to be deceived, manipulated, or straight up scammed.

ringwraithfish ,

Exactly! But you should use the internet with a heavy level of skepticism. Anonymity and the power to connect any one from anywhere is what makes it great, but is also extremely easy for bad actors to take advantage of.

ringwraithfish ,

They dropped “do no evil” a while ago.

ringwraithfish ,

It’s funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we’re about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.

The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.

This is a new cold war that we’ve been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.

ringwraithfish ,

Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.

ringwraithfish ,

This is still news worthy, but not “Front page” news worthy. Back in the newspaper days this would be sent to the back of the paper.

What a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. My takeaways are it could possibly be used for knitting, but traditional spool knitting that the Grandma uses in the video doesn’t show up in history until the 1500s. If the Romans did use it for gloves then knitting has been around much longer than we have evidence of or they were using a different method with the dodecahedron.

“Many same-sex friends had these. We believe it was a sign to show they were just roommates”

Alien hand syndrome makes me believe this. Usually occurs when something traumatic happens to the brain. The way it’s described seems like the dominant consciousness losing control of that motor function to the lesser consciousness.

ringwraithfish ,

I’m struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don’t think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.

Name it Blaine!

I get the feeling they’re trying to avoid martyrdom. He needs to go to prison for the big things, not on technicalities.

I like to imagine op thinks the guy is sneaking in alcohol and buying an empty cup from the theater. The Texas man is pissed because he doesn’t know what to do with the remaining 2 oz after he planned on their cup holding 24oz.
