Nitter link not working. What’s the jist?

Would you say it’s ant-antarctic?

What if the health values are human creations like special symbols or works of creative art?

I’m not explaining it properly. Imagine instead of 100 hp, there is apple bananas. That isn’t really a mathematic representation in the same way that the cheat code can change. It would be a copyrighted work of art. It wouldn’t be trivial to build an hp system to do this (in fact it would be a large undertaking), but I am not asking about practicality, just what the law would find.

Computers work with 1s and 0s. We have decided as a society that certain combinations of those equate to being copywritable. This ruling seems to be saying the result of a calculation cannot be copywritable? Wouldn’t creative tools like movie editor or photoeditor disagree? So then is the ruling actually saying these specific values used in this instance are not copywritable, changing the health to 100 for e.g., because there is no human creativity in the result of that value?

So if a programmer used an original work of art to define the state of health in the actual code, and verified the value matches the 1s and 0s that represent that work of art (thus it only ever comes down to boolean check in the logic side, and the value of the variable is never set to something simple like 0 to 100, it was using a huge amount of RAM and a very slow comparator operator.

Yea, I went there.

I mean what if you didn’t use 20/100 for the value, you used a symbol (in the code as the value). Would it still apply?

The Heritage Foundation found 24 cases involving noncitizens voting between 2003 and 2023 — when more than 600 million votes were cast in presidential elections.

This is our top priority guys! Nothing is more important than this right now!

The problem was “could you.” Tell it to do it as if giving a command and it should typically comply.

Due to all the enshittification of the streaming services, I decided to opt out of it all by selfhosting Jellyfin with all of my media on my NAS. Get to it from anywhere with tailscale.

OP image is blurry for me. Direct link

If this is legit and not corruption and bitcoin eventually takes off to ungodly levels, imagine the biggest bet in history paying off and their country turns around as an economic powerhouse. Risky and stupid but would make a good movie.

Voyager started as a progressive web app. vger.app. I prefer it to Lemmy’s interface even on computer.

Since nobody has said yet, I use screen pretty heavily. Want to run a long running task, starting it from your phone? Run screen to create a detachable session then the long running command. You can then safely close out of your terminal or detach with ctrl a, d and continue in your terminal doing something else. screen -r to get back to it.

Epstein didn’t kill himself and he’s still alive and the body is from a lookalike they killed to fake his death. Is that good enough conspiracy theory?

How is the plugin illegal?

This is dangerous to our democracy.

The “article” reads like a drama. The dude has all original code and artwork and a different game engine. The screenshots show a very simplistic thing… you wouldn’t sue someone because their stick figures look too much like yours. If the game was copied that quickly there wasn’t much substance there to begin with imo.

If this is how we get ranked choice voting and more than 2 options… fuck it, I’ll take it!

According to Le Chat,

The author you're thinking of is Neal Stephenson, and the book is "Snow Crash" published in 1992. In the book, he coined the term "ractors" for actors who perform in front of motion-capture cameras to create lifelike animations. He also predicted the use of CGI and AI in filmmaking to create movies with long-dead actors.

I haven’t read it and the Wikipedia article doesn’t seem to mention virtual actors, so it could be wrong. At least it didn’t hallucinate a fake book.

So are PlayStation consoles running Windows? FFS this is short sighted tying yourself to your competitor like that.

Hopefully it reclassifies weekly work hour threshold to be considered for full time benefits. Either way it’s going to be a bumpy ride. At least someone is trying something

Probably the “but”. I agree that both are exploitive and they should all be called out on it.

You might want to get evaluated, mate. The colors are clear as day.

Isn’t there some way to design the multiplayer to not trust the client? Assume the client has aimbot and all can see through walls, etc. Design it with those things being expected instead of all this draconian pwn the user’s system nonsense.

It sounds like someone out of their jurisdiction should host the repos and tell them to pound sand.

I thought so, top, at least initially. However, it sounds like the out sourced cashiers essentially tallied up the orders after the customer left and sent the bill. How much correction had to be applied to the automation remains to be seen. The biggest issue with systems like this is tracking between scenes and angles. It could be the humans in the loop were there to resync the metadata of each tracked object (i.e., customer) as they moved isle to isle or they removed a jacket or whatever.

Because they force you to use online accounts now, you can get it from the registered account via the Microsoft account page.

But what about…? Doesn’t excuse the first thing!

What about corporations that own other companies? Or merges/acquisitions (cannibalism)? Maybe we should take the whole corporations are people to the natural conclusion. It would at least make it interesting for a while.

Sounds like you just invented Roblox.

There are likely other changes made since they released that version to their customers, so the risk is other things in addition to the current thing get broken.

The two party system has resulted in grid lock on anything pf actual value like codifying in law the things the SCOTUS has been rolling back. We’ve rested on our laurels for it to all be undone.

Name and shame!

You know how adblock has blocklists… what if we had shareable lemmy blocklists like that? Anyone could create a blocklist and you could import into your client. Would be pretty sweet.

Is this like a remastered original or did they name a new game 1?

Quantity over quality. But the new store interface only shows the same 30 or so games every time I look at it.

Aliens abducting me. Not even in my top 10 as an adult.
