Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

Really bad policies that will set even worse precedents are not a punitive measure against companies you don’t like.

I think it’s more the “find employment” thing, not the “piece of shit” thing. Tech companies have been doing massive layoffs recently so the market is flooded with people looking for jobs when fewer places are hiring.

Trump won't be tried with Powell and Chesebro next month in Georgia election case (apnews.com)

A Georgia judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump and 16 others will be tried separately from two defendants who are set to go to trial next month in the case accusing them all of participating in an illegal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Cult of the Lamb did come out and say they weren’t serious about delisting.

Genshin Impact is also on Unity, so you know they were hoping for some of all that MiHoYo cash, since this scheme of theirs was going to apply retroactively.

College Kids Are Easily Bypassing Stupid University TikTok Bans (www.techdirt.com)

We’ve noted a few times how the political push to ban TikTok is a dumb performance largely designed to distract people from our failure to pass even a basic internet privacy law or regulate data brokers. We’ve also noted how college bans of TikTok are a dumb extension of that dumb performance, and don’t accomplish anything...

Whereas a lot of women do not feel safe getting into the car of a man they don’t know. While most of the time, it’s safe, but it only takes one time for a woman to end up assaulted or dead. Lyft has already been sued by women who were raped or sexually assaulted by a Lyft driver.

I was going by how you were saying men don’t seem to ever have a preference. Men may not, but women do.

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Men can’t anyway because you can only request your own gender? I’m feeling very confused rn.

The 84 isn’t from people fighting console wars, though - these are the reviewer scores, not user scores. So as more actual reviewers are finishing and writing up their impressions, the scores are dipping. The scores aren’t bad by any means, but they aren’t as good as when only a handful of reviewers that got review copies had their reviews out.

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Why are people just assuming it’s a console war thing and “jealousy,” when the article is talking about reviewer scores, not scores from random users?

I was reading a Forbes article on this mess today, and the writer speculated they were hoping to make bank from Genshin Impact, since it uses Unity.

The Batshit Crazy Story Of The Day Elon Musk Decided To Personally Rip Servers Out Of A Sacramento Data Center (www.techdirt.com)

Back on Christmas Eve of last year there were some reports that Elon Musk was in the process of shutting down Twitter’s Sacramento data center. In that article, a number of ex-Twitter employees wer…

Looks like you’re the type the writer talks about at the end:

There’s something to be said for pushing back on needless rules and bureaucracy, but it helps if you actually understand stuff before doing so, rather than doing something like this that had half a dozen ways it could have ended in serious disaster and possible tragedy. The fact that it “only” resulted in Twitter falling over every few weeks for months likely means that Musk and his supporters got the very wrong lesson out of this.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,

Musk quite literally said it was equivalent of resigning:

Over the years, Musk had been faced many times with a choice between what he thought was necessary and what others told him was possible. The result was almost always the same. He paused in silence for a few moments, then announced, “You have 90 days to do it. If you can’t make that work, your resignation is accepted.”

'I Lost Everything': California Photographer Blames AI Bias for Instagram Ban | KQED (www.kqed.org)

When a machine moderates content, it evaluates text and images as data using an algorithm that has been trained on existing data sets. The process for selecting training data has come under fire as it’s been shown to have racial, gender and other biases.

Only it leaves pictures of the Hell’s Angels alone. Clearly there’s an issue here.

Please explain why their photos were taken down but photos of the Hell’s Angels were allowed to stay up.

I also want a bigger screen. I play some Japanese mobile games that use the tiniest damn fonts that you can’t make larger, and I’m tired of squinting at itty bitty kanji.

Plus, to replace the battery, they’d have to also replace the back because the one time I had my phone out of its case to get my train pass to add money to it, and I dropped it and the glass back shattered.

Elon Musk seen as working counter to U.S. interests in dealings with Russia, China (youtu.be)

Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.
