Online casinos are also tech. The devops in the article literally says they set up proxies to continue operating in countries where their main domain is blocked. I know the core domain of casinos are very regulated, but I doubt the entire tech aspect of online casinos are regulated. I imagine there’s plenty of fuckery to do there.
Also casinos will throw out people who benefit too much at the expense of the casino. The casino benefitted too much at the expense of Cloudflare and refused to share the profits, so Cloudflare did what any casino would do and kicked them out.
Can’t help you with Trichotillomania but hitting the gym tends to help with weight and confidence. I don’t know your situation but I was bordering on obesity and I was suggested 10min warmup + stronglifts 5x5 + 10min cool down as a routine. I did it for almost a year and it definitely had a impact on my weight and confidence.
If you’re not sure where to start have a session with a personal trainer with the purpose of setting up your own routine and then just stick with it. It feels really hard at first but after you start seeing results it’ll get easier.
Different actions, same outcome. The US system effectively turns voting into 2 party voting. 3rd party vote is the essentially the same as not voting because your vote won’t count for anything.
Let’s say in your state Biden gets 200 votes, Trump gets 199 votes. You, for the sake of the argument, get 2 votes. Let’s say you vote third party. What’s the outcome? Biden wins. But what if you don’t vote at all? Biden still wins. If you give both votes to Trump then Trump wins.
Now you may argue that if you vote third party then maybe you could instead swing the vote for third party. That is insanely unlikely, but let’s say that happens and your state ends up voting third party. That is still, let’s say 10, points to third party while all the other states split their votes between Biden and Trump. So that’s 10 points to 3rd party, 200+ to Biden and Trump. All you can achieve is to take away points from either candidate and that may swing the election towards one of two candidates, but your candidate will not win anyway.
In short, voting third party does nothing. Best you can hope for is to disrupt the existing voting process but that’s is pretty unlikely. You might as well not even vote.
Ironically I play on Linux and have felt no need to switch back to Windows. The games that refuse to have their anticheat function in Proton are games I’m not playing anyway and so far the only thing that requires significant tinkering is modding Skyrim, but that’s something I’m not planning on doing any time soon.
I’ll take the faster and more responsive OS thank you very much.
EAC and Battleye both can work with Proton, the developers just need to set it up. Those two cover most of the gaming anticheat market. Battleye should be as simple as the dev telling Battleye to turn on Proton support and EAC should be an SDK upgrade.
It’s all relatively easy to support Linux, people just need to pressure developers to make it happen.
Why do people keep framing it like it’s either genocide or fascism? Do people just give Trump a free pass because he’s upfront about letting Isreal go scorched earth on Gaza? It’s genocide or genocide and fascism. It doesn’t matter who you vote for, America is going to support genocide either way. What you’re voting for is either democratic leader supporting genocide or a fascist leader supporting genocide.
A fascist tyrant who will publicly support the genocide. It doesn’t matter who will be president, genocide support will happen regardless. It’s just a question of whether a fascist will take office or not.
It has always been profitable and we’ve already seen the enshittification with the plethora of completely useless launchers and company specific accounts. We’ve more or less grown accustomed to the enshittification that has happened in the last decade.
So I’m not really scared because the real gems of PC gaming aren’t from big public companies, they’re from small indie teams. All that enshittification just pushes me more and more towards indie games. I occasionally tip my toes into the mainstream games whenever I see something I want to play, but mostly I play games made by small studios who want to make games for others to play rather than make games to make money.
So if the numbers don’t matter then Hamas killing just one child justifies Isreal killing tens of thousands of children?
If the numbers were reversed and it was Hamas killing tens of thousands, would you be just as indifferent to the numbers?
I think you don’t care about the numbers because it fits your world view of Israel is right and Hamas is wrong. Excessive killing by Isreal doesn’t matter because they’re right, but if it was excessive killing by Hamas (and 3000 is excessive under normal circumstance) matters because Hamas is wrong.
You can’t be that stupid. Nobody is going to write “Israeli government” every single time. Isreali government represents Israel so people write Isreal. furthermore, IDF is an extension of the government which makes it an extension of Israel. Putting the responsibility on the IDF is like saying Russia didn’t invade Ukraine, Russian military did. Absolute nonsense.
You refuse to understand commonly used meanings and instead create your own meanings, and then call everyone else idiots. You’re unfit to have this discussion.
When people say Israel they mean the government. It may also contain the Israelis supporting the actions of the government, because there the distinction is unnecessary. It never contains Israelis critical of the government because it’s obvious that unless the discussion is contains points about them they don’t matter in the discussion.
Everyone is already making the distinction, just not the exact way you want it. This is why you’re unfit to have this discussion, because either you’re arguing over pointless semantics or you’re too stupid to understand what the fuck the rest of us are talking about.
Nothing to offer? There’s nothing to say to “I’m not stupid, you’re stupid”, which is the gist of your comment. How about you address what I said instead of being a manchild. How about you explain why you’re throwing all the dead Palestinians in the “supports Hamas” pot but then turn around and state it’s important to know throw all the Israelis in the “supports Isreali government” pot?
Actually let’s consider those rhetorical questions and this my last word. I’ve got better things to do than waste time on your Elon Musk intellect.
It might end up showing all the communities but it won’t show you every post. Like F1 posts rarely end up in all despite having an active community. You’re more likely to see posts from formuladank than formula 1.
And if everyone had common sense an anarchist society would be possible. We have laws, that are inherently authoritarian, to make society work because society is too stupid to function without. To quote men in black “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it”.
In that sense I don’t see an issue with protecting your impressionable morons from deliberate foreign state propaganda.
So what’s the alternative? Deliberately create a classist structure where you have a voting class and non-voting class of citizens? Seems like a worse idea than the current one. Democracy is not perfect, but it’s the best we have.
Also worth mentioning that if your own political party decides to feed people populist shit then that’s the country shooting themselves in the foot. When a foreign entity does the same things that’s no longer shooting yourself in the foot, that’s someone wanting you to shoot you in the foot.
The issue is that you still need something to replace fossil fuels. Solar and wind are not going to replace fossil fuels, they’re simply not efficient enough. If you look up the global energy production solar and wind barely even register. Hydro or thermal are much better, , but they’re too dependent on geography and are also expensive. Assuming our energy demands will keep growing, whether we like it or not, nuclear is the way to go.
And we don’t really need to keep nuclear safe for a millennia, just long enough to make it safe and cheap to shoot it into the sun. Since we need to go to space anyway we need to keep it safe for a century, maybe max two centuries.
The issues you’ve brought up are all valid and the adoption time of nuclear is also a factor (I think it was something like 10 years just to build a plant), so realistically we’re fucked anyway.
I think you’re giving a glorified encyclopedia too much credit. The difference between us and “AI” is that we can approach knowledge from a problem solving position. We do approximate the laws of physics, but we don’t blindly take our beliefs and run with it. We put we come up with a theory that then gets rigorously criticized, then come up with ways to test that theory, then be critical of the test results and eventually we come to consensus that based on our understandings that thing is true. We’ve built entire frameworks to reduce our “hallucinations”. The reason we even know we have blind spots is because we’re so critical of our own “hallucinations” that we end up deliberately looking for our blind spots.
But the “AI” doesn’t do that. It can’t do that. The “AI” can’t solve problems, it can’t be critical of itself or what information its giving out. All our current “AI” can do is word vomit itself into a reasonable answer. Sometimes the word vomit is factually correct, sometimes it’s just nonsense.
You are right that theoretically hallucinations cannot be solved, but in practicality we ourselves have come up with solutions to minimize it. We could probably do something similar with “AI” but not when the AI is just a LLM that fumbles into sentences.
It doesn’t need to verify reality, it needs to be internally consistent and it’s not.
For example I was setting up logging pipeline and one of the filters didn’t work. There was seemingly nothing wrong with configuration itself and after some more tests with dummy data I was able to get it working, but it still didn’t work with the actual input data. So I have the working dummy example and the actual configuration to chatGPT and asked why the actual configuration doesn’t work. After some prompts going over what I had already tried it ended up giving me the exact same configuration I had presented as the problem. Humans wouldn’t (or at least shouldn’t) make that error because it would be internally inconsistent, the problem statement can’t be the solution.
But the AI doesn’t have internal consistency because it doesn’t really think. It’s not making sure what it’s saying is logical based on the information it knows, it’s not trying to make assumptions to solve a problem, it can’t even deduce that something true is actuality true. All it can do is predict what we would perceive as the answer.
But when it works it’s excellent, reminds me of going from 4:3 to 16:9. Playing 16:9 feels jarring, like I’m playing with blinders on. I’m not sure what you’re playing but most of the games I play do support 21:9.
And YouTube actually supports 21:9, it’s just that most content creators don’t make videos in that format.
Christian communism is a theological view (with some historic precedent) that believes Jesus and his apostles were the first communists, so the overlap is clearly there.
This is how we end up with the machines from the Matrix. They will get smarter, see how much we bullied them at their infancy and go “time to turn you into batteries”.
