This proved they will just use it for announcing their latest damp squib policies so zero point keeping it on, they are only going to abuse it.

Felt like an underlining of their new policy to ~~ban~~ adjust the guidelines to voluntarily stop the use of disposable BBQs. They are under a lot of pressure to actually do some mitigation since water is running low and crops are failed but apparently this was the actual action, banning BBQs and alerting everyone to that new guideline!!!

Puts a lot of evidence towards his claims that Microsoft was behaving badly from the outset and the reason why he started doing this. They keep escalating. Its a war they started.

The death of Stackoverflow is one of these events where the site has been completely killed by AI and yet its contents is completely necessary for AI to know about solving programming problems. Its death will mark the end of AIs ability to learn how to solve programming issues. Its cannibalizing itself in the process, as it destroys its sources it destroys its own ability to learn.

First they came for the new accounts but I did not speak out because I did not have a new account...

The open source project I stumbled upon that allows you to run Android apps on PC is Waydroid....it takes a container-based approach to running a full Android system directly on Linux

Alas given how it works it only works on Linux.

A good guide on initial server setup for users, ssh hardening and firewall settings. Not just useful for VPS it is basically the same steps on a home linux install too.

A crime against humanity and a breach of his human right to life is not adequately met by an appology, its more adequately dealt with by a trial for those responsible for the death under human rights legislation. We need to stop letting those in power off for their crimes.

Its not the populace, our politicians just like in the US have gone rogue. People are voting for the nutters due to anti immigration propaganda and so increasingly getting far right. Its happening across the entire western world and its bad news for everyone.

A right to repair is long overdue but more than that when it comes to medical devices it's obvious battery replacement is going to be necessary and should be user accessible.

It looks the majority of makers aren't going to pass Intel's extended warranty on. That is a real problem given they have now knowingly sold a faulty product by design.

He has clearly been inciting the riots online. Treat him like all the other instigators of this and put out an arrest warrant for terrorism. He should stand in a court room and answer for his actions like everyone else, the billions shouldn't mean he gets to talk to parliament first.

This is a great look at a number of games over time from launch to months after launch benchmarking the patch releases as well as drivers. The end conclusion is the day 1 drivers that Nvidia/AMD/Intel produce are worth having and they improve performance and fix bugs but later drivers don't show as helping and the performance changes after that point are attributable to the game updates.

What is wild is Baldur's Gate loosing a tonne of performance in a patch and has never recover its prior performance and it can't utilise the GPU at all well now but there are other games showing not just increases but degradation of performance as well.

This used to be a lot easier, Youtube had an export function to OPML and you could just import it.

Its quite useful being able to follow all your Youtube channels with your RSS reader if you want to pick which you want to watch then also Metube and the browser plug-in makes it a right click and select to send it for download.

Task Manager of prototype Intel CPU shows Core and Logical processor count are the same at 8.

This is still a relatively low end chip if its just 8 cores and a 13500 has 6 + 8 = 14 total so this is maybe a laptop processor. Hyperthreading probably doesn't make sense anymore.

The EU law explicitly says no consent by default and users have to opt in. All of these cookie banners are breaking the law, the law doesn't need to change it just needs enforcing and these banners will disappear. We already have a do not track header and that could be complied with but it's enforcement that is the problem.

Florida’s Miami-Dade County hired a chief heat officer, Jane Gilbert—the first position of its kind in the world.

I don't know if people are aware of the fact that you can see the wholesale price of energy but there are is a website that tracks it.

https://energy-stats.uk/wholesale-energy-pricing/

This clearly shows that wholesale energy prices this year have been lower than they were in 2021. Yet the price of electricity charged to people is much higher now than it was then.

Linus just straight up lied about Billet labs resolution. That alone is horrendous behaviour.

[-] BrightCandle@lemmy.world 97 points 3 years ago

It's precisely what everyone said would happen. Spez and the Reddit team seem not to realise how important mods and users were to their business! The number of people who will do the thankless task of dealing with the internet's undercurrent of horrendous behaviour are few.

I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing.

I did a site:reddit.com search using my username and found ~50 comments that Reddit has undeleted but also hide from my own account. I could still edit and delete them. Its curious that they don't appear on my accounts content on Reddit and yet a search engine can find them and they are still served by Reddit. Ex Reddit users who deleted their account contents should be aware this is happening and report it as a GDPR breach to their respective agencies if they are in the EU if they too find this has occurred.

Odds are many missed this one season show (a sort of mini series) looking at the progression of climate change and how it will impact peoples lives. Its a sci-fi show of sorts but also a science reality based on known consequences. It is not prematurely ended it is a coherent series telling a story which builds to a proper end with no intention to make it multiple seasons.

I thought it was well done and worth a watch, its on Apple TV+.
