Bringing the cancer of the MODERN WEB (TM) to one of the last bastions of the old web (aka the real web!). How Kafkaesque. ( www.youtube.com )

This girl acts like Wikipedia owners don’t realize this shit. It’s about principles. Modern web is simply cancer that is eating out the planet from the inside, one TCP segment at a time (although with HTTP3 and QUIC we gotta call it a datagram!)....

What do you think it was? The "rule" to always put that in the title is never enforced.

The top of https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/130970, the rules post, says it in "please". Most seem to have interpreted that as a rule.

Arcade Fire's Funeral came out in 2004 and also defined the genre. I don't see why the accessibility of singles would mean albums still in the album format would get worse.

it's kind of like torrenting but there's a search engine, individual transactions are one-to-one, you can browse all the files a user shares, and I don't think ISPs know about it.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Where did the name Nicotine come from?

I was in a geeky mood and was browsing http://www.bash.org’s QDB.
I stumbled across this quote:

<etc> so tempting to release a product called ‘nicotine’ and wait for the patches.
<etc> then i would have a reason to only apply one patch a day. otherwise, i’m going against medical advise.

So I thought what the hell and bluntly stole etc’s idea.

Apple Removes WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram, and Signal from China App Store, says it complied with orders from the Chinese government ( arstechnica.com )

Apple said it complied with orders from the Chinese government to remove the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China. Apple also removed Telegram and Signal from China....

Unless you plan on installing more than a bit of Chinese apps, in which case the chaotic market of Chinese notification services (made due to the discontinuation of Google's) will consume all your RAM.

So if Apple removes it from the app store you're shit outta luck?

Not if you've installed it before, in which case you can download it from a not-very-well-known purchase history.

Drones are designed without cockpits. Retrofitting remote-control into an F-16 does not seem like the best choice to me.

Electrogravitics seem like a conspiracy theory. Unless they've been around as long as human centrifuges, which DO simulate g-forces, I doubt that they'd be more economical even if they do exist.

Why do we need "authentic" g-forces to be "created"? As you've said, people already feel g-forces in centrifuges.

Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track ( arstechnica.com )

On Tuesday, Microsoft Research Asia unveiled VASA-1, an AI model that can create a synchronized animated video of a person talking or singing from a single photo and an existing audio track. In the future, it could power virtual avatars that render locally and don’t require video feeds—or allow anyone with similar tools to...

Trying to or successfully shutting down will quickly disable it. I don't think the USA is at the point where we should all worry about arbitrary arrests.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I also don't think that any specific group is being arbitrarily arrested, but I'm not black so what do I know. Maybe it extends beyond violent force into wanting to invade privacy. I just don't know what the incidence rate of such attempts to access are, though intuition makes me think that no one will care, but is intuition to be relied on?

how the current team he was "working with" sucked

Because the maintainer "team" was one person who had health issues and did not commit or merge PRs for months??? What's your problem?

Also, mbin's governance is a constantly shifting group of ten people or so. Their announcement motto was "we'll merge every single PR". How does that align with your dictatorial expectations?

How does that counter the constant extension stoppage?

Pretty critical PR for rust-msi is getting held up because the maintainer understands the intent but not why this works ( github.com )

Not to throw shade, just wishing that somebody here can understand. Whenever an input is reasonably long, an analyzing function will crash, and this PR aims to fix that with a mechanism that contradicts the maintainer's understanding while a similar C implementation does not need this fix. Clearly, the maintainer has not heard a...

Aatube OP ,

They tested the same strings on that implementation., though judging by the recent comments someone’s found something.

Aatube OP ,

Since I posted it, the conversation has moved forward. Before that it was just two people being justifiably confused.

But after evaluating the options, I think most would choose the easier language to learn.
