I also hate the way "algorithm" has taken over the public consciousness. You can find people unironically saying "I don't want any algorithm in my social media feed", which is a nonsensical statement.

I don't believe for a second that it's true, but the possibility that it is amuses me.

There is no evidence Trump had her killed. That just means they covered it up, so the lack of evidence is itself evidence.

I've used the same logic that the DOJ used, in court, to say the people they deported were dangerous criminal terrorists: https://bsky.app/profile/stevevladeck.bsky.social/post/3lknpwf2cw22q

There might be a good reason for this. Raster effects were already really good in newer games, and ray tracing could only improve on that high bar. It's filling in details that are barely noticeable, but creap ever so slightly closer to photorealism.

Old games start from a low bar, so ray tracing has dramatic improvement.

This is the same language where you have to say PLEASE sometimes or it won't compile. But if you say PLEASE too much, the compiler will think you're pandering and also refuse to compile. The range between too polite and not polite enough is not specified and varies by implementation.

My city got rid of lead pipes decades ago, and now I'm mad other cities are getting free money to replace them.

Link broken in app (midwest.social)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

Here's the post in question: https://midwest.social/post/10123989

Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

  • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
  • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.

A survival crafting game where the tech tree goes backwards. You start in a prepper hole with working water filtration, food sources, etc, and everything is nice. Then something breaks and maybe you fix it. Something else breaks and maybe you fix that. Three things break at once, and at least one of them is going to stay broken. Have to do something more primative and time consuming.

Eventually, enough things break that it's no longer sustainable and you die. Game ranks you based on how long you last.

It's amazing watching a platform with no substantial competitor kill itself so badly. AltaVista was killed by Google, MySpace was killed by Facebook, Twitter is killed by the ramblings of the lunatic who bought it.

I'm a little surprised the police didn't already know about that method. Seems like they'd encounter enough CCTV footage that'd it'd be standard training.

I once again overestimate the training levels of the police.

One of the things that contributed to the downfall of USENET was when people worked out how to post binary files, encoded as multi-part blocks of ASCII text. It still has piracy problems but you can just ignore that stuff.

Ignore all the software pirates over there. Yes, sir, the ones sitting at the free bar full of top shelf liquor with strippers on each side. Yup, better not go over there.
