Witness the horrors of unmoderated social media
  • The dangerous thing with speech is the ability to radicalize people. I mostly agree with your comment but it's a more complex topic than "until you don't do something bad you're fine".

  • It seems like a general, global sentiment to me due to the internet and not just on the internet. I think it's the combination of our society being more global than ever, and the vastly increased amount of professions due to technological advancement. There's just way too much information that an average person comes in contact with, our monkey brains weren't designed for this.

  • I haven't seen it used that way yet, but seems like a clever meta. Honestly community notes might be the only good thing on the entire platform. My favorite is when there are community notes on ads.

    Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off
  • Every time I pirate a ubisoft game I regret it, I never play more than maybe an hour with them and then I have to seed them to get > 1.0 ratio (private site rules). So I just stopped pirating them lol.

    Honestly had slight hopes for Avatar because the art team really outdid themselves, but I knew in the back of my head that the actual game would be shit.

    shopping rule theory
  • In my country literally every company that has shopping carts outside does this, but I always thought it's more against homeless people taking them on a whim.

    The current state of Twitch
  • Nope, it also recommends streams based on what other people watch from the channels you're following, it's not only based on your viewing data. Other aggregates like generally what's popular might get thrown into the mix as well.

    To test this create a fresh account, follow Asmongold & let his streams run for a while, after some time the recommendations are going to be full of booby streams.

    It's kind of a running joke at this point that if you watch him you're going to get booby stream recommendations because his viewers are degens.

    Based KDE 🗿
  • I've tried Fedora 3 times years apart in my life and never had a good experience. The longest time I used a distro was with Elementary OS and Zorin OS, the latter of which I'm currently on.

    Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea
  • I disagree, I think it's always just about money. Power hungry-ness comes from the fear of losing your current position, the fear of not advancing and getting left behind. With power they secure the position they have. And it's not just exclusive to the rich. You can see the exact same pattern in a random fucking McDonald's.

    If it was more profitable (and possible) to automate 40% of work at any given company (the ratio Gates said in this article), everyone would do it in a heartbeat.

    A good deal of IT work, too
  • I feel you, my problem is that I switch between languages too much. I'm learning rust right now as a hobby, but I'm technically a frontend dev with years of experience in angular and react, and a couple months ago I have been put on a legacy rails project, which we're rewriting for Angular x Java stack (thankfully my roommate is a Java backend dev, he's been a lot of help) and on top of this I maintain my Cyberpunk 2077 mods written in lua, c++ and redscript (swift-like).

    Send help.

  • You can ask it for source now with browser integration. Previously the browser extension was a separate model with gpt3.5 which was pretty bad, now it's just integrated into gp4. It works a million times better and it's great that it doesn't break the flow of the conversation.

    It feels so futuristic
  • Download. I have fast internet so I don't really care about streaming + I like to archive rewatch worthy shows. An entire season of a show takes only a couple minutes, then it's accessible on my plex server.

  • I'm in an invite only site that I'm not going to name and there hasn't been a single instance of something not being uploaded there that I wanted to watch.

    Restaurant Bill
  • In my country (in the EU) usually if a service charge is added on top of the order, it's because that particular place doesn't accept tips.

    Can IT confirm?
  • A main example that comes to mind is nanny cam or iot security cam ransoms for example. They don't target specific individuals at first, they exploit a mass vulnerability, gather sensitive footage then blackmail. Another example, while not directly affecting IoT users' lives was the Mirai botnet attack.

    I silently salute you
  • Oh my god this is such a big problem of mine. I almost never take anything personally and sometimes say things that people do, I just always assume they wouldn't.
