Meta abandoning CrowdTangle during an election year has the same vibe as an officer turning off a body camera right before a confrontation.

Good job japan, corporations should not be allowed to lock you out of using competition on a device you own.

Instead of working on their platform to get discord users to jump ship they decide to go in the same direction. Also pretty sure training LLMs after someone opts out is illegal?

Its about time people bring up the .ml tankie problem. Lemmygrad was defederated but .ml was ignored due to basically being their PR instance. This is the main reason I have stuck to kbin social despite it having a lot of spam and errors and why I am now on Mbin.

I left windows because of the ai stuff but I didn't expect it to get this bad. This is literally malware.

At least the ICC is willing to do the right thing.

They just escalated the arms race between ad and ad blocker. All this could have been avoided if they actually did something about the scam ads.

Thanks just had a look at the game on steam it looks interesting. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2140100/Whisker_Squadron_Survivor/

"A report by analysts at the Korea Institute of Public Finance said creating a one-year age gap between girls and boys at school would make them more attractive to each other by the time they reached marriageable age.

The claim is based on the idea that men are naturally attracted to younger women because men mature more slowly. Those women, in theory, would prefer to marry older men."

What kind of Thinktank is this? Instead of coming to the obvious conclusion that stuff is to expensive and trying to make it less expensive they turn it into a sexist theory that connects girls going to school earlier to higher birth rate.

Yes but not by choice Ernest has had health problems and has not been able to work on it. The instance is going to be handed over to a new team when he gets the chance.

And I thought Kanye West couldn't get any more Trump like.

I never got what made these pins humane are they trained on data that they got permission for? Or did they use an ai model that does not use much energy thus not destroying the environment?

I did not expect !beds to be about Bedfordshire. I assumed it was furniture related.

This is amazing for only 13KB.

I got ads for them before I used Ublock Pretty sure I reported it for propaganda not that it did anything.

its on archive.org for those wanting to test it in an emulator. https://archive.org/details/tarzan-Atari

Or a bunch of memes that are on the same level as what a MAGA idiot would make.

Looks like a Daedric artifact of some sort.

Its okay nothing to lose sleep over.

Seems a bit misleading at least with apple it is obvious that it is not a fruit but calling a company Humane you expect it to be more ethical.

They actually did that? I havnt been to Maccas in years due to no vegan options besides coffee with soy milk though their coffee is not that good anyway. I dont expect the wifi to be fast but I expect to be able to use it for stuff other than looking at the menu.

If Ternary computers take off we might have a non-binary linux distro.

I am no expert though I like Linux Mint it has a windows 7 feel to it which makes it a great distro to start with.

Nice I have been thinking about doing a either an 8mb or 5mb gamejam challenge but I wasn't sure if 5mb would be to low but if there are 1mb challenges I guess it does not seem to impractical. Also I am going to test that game out in wine it looks interesting.

Interesting.

I use Linux mint I also tried Lubuntu but it felt slow and clunky and when I tested Puppy linux it seemed okay but I like being able to boot up my laptop without using a usb every time.

I still use kbin social when it is up though I have been using here on kbin.run and I have been testing fedia.io. I did make a matrix to try and keep in contact with other kbin users but I think a lot of us are already spread out to different instances.

Wow Starlight Brigade has great animation I wonder if that was the inspiration.

Are games that boot from bios a real thing? would be interesting or an OS that has the exact dependencies to launch a single game aka minecraft launcher but from bios. Idk how practical that would be but its a cool concept.

Wow you did not disappoint. I think I will make a TIL post about playing doom from bios. I should probably get to that now before tomorrow or it wont count as a TIL.

I was using that as an umbrella term though I should have specified both scam ads and intrusive ads that are a vector for malware.

I was just curious also I was more thinking of energy efficiency for environmental reasons.

I know the fediverse needs a green push and some instances are using renewable energy but really 10 years worth from one post?

I cant remember exactly what it was about but the ad didn't have a video.

Thank you I will charge them separately there are some good ways to save electricity but I guess this is not one of them.

If the heat is negligible I would assume it should not matter as long as you do not charge while your pc is doing a task that uses up to much resources?

I guess being on a laptop I don't have to worry about the PSU being less efficient.

Overnight? I thought it would be cleaner during the day because that is when the sun shines. I haven't had an Iphone in a while but I will have a look into grid forecasts. I still use an air fryer not sure what the the wattage is though I would assume it is similar to an oven.

While I think Hentai showing that stuff is disgusting AI is worse because you need to get the training material from somewhere so its far from victimless. Edit: I just learned that it does not have to be in the dataset though there should be regulations that forces the companies to open source the data set.

The problem with cold drinks is they cannot sell it hot enough to give 3rd degree burns so the free refills must go.
