If the live version is already broken, there isn't much to lose deploying the fix as soon as possible. Not sure what else they could have done here.

I don't understand what is supposed to be the offense here. It was a trivia question about world history. In the context it was clearly not an endorsement.

I'm not an electron hater, but a terminal in electron sounds like a parody.

What a weird article. It doesn't say what was agreed and it doesn't say what the voice actors want instead. Voice actor says the deal is "garbage" and the AI company says the deal is "ethical". But what is the actual deal???

The Github UX is amazing if you ever had to use gitlab or bitbucket

Does this game need client-side anticheat at all? It's not PvP, so if you're cheating, you just ruin the experience for yourself and maybe your teammates. But as far as I know, there are no rankings and not really any competition.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't remember conversations from other users (or even your own). That's just not how it works.

I wonder how often someone walks in and tells them about the mistake. Do the baristas have a standard response?

I've bought a lot of electronic components from AliExpress and 99% of the time I got exactly what I ordered. It just takes a long time.

They made a decision that is bad for game developers and your response is to punish ... game developers?

The active users have more than halved since July

I wouldn't read too much into this, it was a chaotic time, many people tried lots of different things, some created multiple accounts etc. It is completely expected that some try the website and leave again. The growth is still impressive and I expect Lemmy to continue to grow, just because it's the better service.

I'm in favor of federation. The point of federated networks isn't that there are no evil corporations, but rather that they can't cause damage.

What Facebook can do:

  • read your public data (they can do this wether anyone federates with them or not)
  • let their users publish content to other Fediverse users

What they can't do:

  • serve you ads
  • serve you an algorithmic feed
  • impose their ToS or rules
  • collect data for analytics/tracking/marketing
  • force you to use a certain client
  • make changes to the protocol or design

I think this is mostly relevant for Mastodon servers due to the format of the content, but the arguments are the same.

The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.

If you want to shoot your teammates, you can do that just fine without an aimbot

Games companies expanded like crazy due to low interest rates and high demand for games during the pandemic. Now interest rates are going up and people go outside again.

Apparently it was a problem when previous Tesla models released

In a video from MKBHD they mentioned this problem and they said that the idea is basically that Apple will not block it because it will bring them bad PR and attention from regulators who are concerned with anti trust issues. Hard to predict what will actually happen but Apple just blocking 3rd party access and citing (legitimate) privacy and security concerns seems to be a likely outcome.

This looks like an embarrassing mistake. If someone were to try to "tank" Twitter, it wouldn't really make sense to do this on purpose.

Nobody knows if and when programming will be automated in a meaningful way. But once we have the tech to do it, we can automate pretty much all work. So I think this will not be a problem for programmers until it's a problem for everyone.

fwiw, that screen is called "lock screen"

GitKraken!

The difficult thing is gaining users, not writing the code.

I like using AntennaPod for podcasts and Spotify for music.

I'd be interested what people think he should be paid. Based on the downvotes on your comment, people say 200€ is too low? It was in 2009, so inflation adjusted it's 300€. And the article has the complete raw recording, it took him less than a minute.

You give them the credentials for your Apple account. The security concept is "trust me bro" and that's really the best they can do unless Apple helps them (which they have no reason to)

I've seen some people debate whether "meta" means "applying a concept to itself" or "most effective tactic available". In gaming, both kind of make sense. But in the context of business models for twitch streams, only the second definition works. (even though it originated from the word "metagame", where "meta" wasn't an acronym)

USB A doesn't have Power Delivery, the highest it can do is 15W for USB 3.2 and 4.5W for USB 3.1 and older.

But these dongles exist, I bought some and they work for charging (I haven't tried to use them for data)

The example given in the comic has moved from one category to the other. Determining whether an image contains a bird is a fairly simple "two hour" task now.

Plot twist: The woman in the comic is Fei-Fei Li, she got the research team and five years and succeeded 🤯

this account holder has this name on that instance

How would that help? A spam bot could just make lots of blockchain wallets.

you get all sorts of unspoofable benefits from that

what are the benefits? I struggle to come up with any benefits.

I've been on Mastodon for over a year and I never experienced anything that could be classified as a technical glitch. From a tech / UI perspective it feels very polished to me.

I guess the only exception would be that old posts are sometimes missing on profiles from different servers.

This is it. Lemmy users are completely unaware of the extent to which they are not like normal people.

Not sure if you realize it, but you're exactly proving the point of this thread. It comes of as condescending that you assume someone must be uninformed because they don't agree with you.

my comment looks stupid because OP made a (sensible) edit to their question. Before the edit, OP was asking how to rotate the lock screen without using the word "lock screen"

I was looking for something like this! Am I using it wrong or does it only have 7 entries at the moment?

Edit: 24 hours later it's gone from 7 entries to 60+ pages. Exciting!

Anyway, it would be cool to have a feature where I can paste a list of subreddits and get a list of matching lemmy communities (where available).

I assume these would be credentials in the training data, not something it got from other ChatGPT users?

I was rooting for Makro

A debit card should be sufficient and it seems that 72% of the people in Saudi Arabia have a debit card, probably even more among those who would use social media.

If you look at a hundred paintings of faces and then make your own painting of a face, you're not expected to pay all the artists that you used to get an understanding of what a face looks like.

Even if AI companies were to pay the artists and had billions of dollars to do it, each individual artist would receive a tiny amount, because these datasets are so large.

Much more realistically, they would just retrain their models using data they can use for free.

Btw, I don't think this is a fair use question, it's really a question of whether the generated images are derivatives of the training data.

I've used Komoot and Google Maps and my experience is the exact opposite. Komoot is buggy, freezes and crashes all the time and has crappy UX. Google Maps just works. What problems do you have with Google Maps?
