KoboldCoterie, to pcgaming in An unofficial PC port of Zelda: Majora’s Mask has been released
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

How is that different from the emulators that Nintendo has shut down?

Nintendo alleged Yuzu was “primarily designed to circumvent several layers of Nintendo Switch encryption so its users can play copyrighted Nintendo games", that’s all it took, and isn’t that exactly what this is doing? It just happens to be one single game, rather than a large number of them.

KoboldCoterie, to technology in Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

Assuming you’re making the change in your browser’s default search settings, and not editing the URL every time you do a search, it takes a minute or two once, and it’s done forever. No harder than adding an adblock rule and it also removes a lot of other bullshit, too (since it’s just defaulting you to a ‘web only’ search).

KoboldCoterie, to fuckcars in This, but unironically
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

While this is a nice thought in theory, it breaks down as soon as you start actually thinking of it in practical terms.

  • Some rural road that gets a few cars a day at best does not really need sidewalks and certainly does not need bike lanes.
  • A road with potholes is more dangerous to pedestrians and bikers due to the potential for cars to lose control, or for drivers to swerve to miss a pothole and potentially endanger other travelers.
  • Adding bike lanes and sidewalks is just impractical in a lot of areas. Where is that space coming from, when private property extends to the road edge currently? Are we just declaring eminent domain and taking 3-6 feet of everyone’s property frontage for this initiative? I’m sure that will be a very unpopular initiative. What about areas where buildings are too close to the street to allow for this? There’s just too many areas where it’s not practical or possible to do.

I’m all for phasing out cars in areas where it’s reasonable to do so, but your proposal just isn’t compatible with reality.

KoboldCoterie, to asklemmy in Does the USA have any open market cellular options that are legitimate pay-as-you-go and only for what you use options like Europe yet?
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

Do you not? I really don’t know, I don’t use texts much and we’ve had unlimited texts for like, 15+ years. I always see ‘normal carrier fees apply’ on OTP notifications, so I just assumed they counted against limited plans.

It was easier before every random website wanted to send you a text with an OTP just to log in and order a pizza or whatever.

That said, if it was $10 / mo for unlimited, or $0.02 per text, I’d take the per-text charge. I don’t use texts much and I’d probably save $8 / mo or more.

I get the sense that you aren’t familiar with ‘Bad Dragon’, maybe Google can help you. ;)

Just because it’s an edge case doesn’t mean 30% of your userbase won’t encounter it!

KoboldCoterie, to globalnews in Arizona state lawmaker used ChatGPT to write part of law on deepfakes
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

This headline, while factually accurate, is tonally misleading.

He only used ChatGPT to get a definition of what a deepfake is, because he was having trouble defining it himself. He took a screenshot of the response, everyone knew it was from ChatGPT. The definition was thoroughly reviewed by humans and mostly accepted.

The assumption I, and I assume most readers, made from the title is that he tried to use ChatGPT to do his job for him and the results were comical or disastrous in some way and that the article is going to be a name-and-shame piece, which it is not.

KoboldCoterie, to asklemmy in What's the worst natural disaster you've been in?
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

Ice storm in 1998 in Maine. Tame compared to some of these, but a huge part of the state was just covered in multiple inches of ice. We didn’t have power for 3 weeks (due to ice buildup pulling down power lines, or trees falling on them) and while the roads were plowed, they had inches-thick ice on them in most areas so we could leave the house, but it was like, 5-10 mph speeds, tops.

Article from last year talking about it

KoboldCoterie, to asklemmy in Austerity has my roommate had her class of 12 kids moved into a windowless side room.
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

This seems to vary by state. For example, a quick google search revealed the following regulation for Texas:

  • Every room or space greater than 250 ft2 (23.2 m2) and used for classroom or other educational purposes or normally subject to student occupancy shall have not less than one outside window for emergency rescue that complies with all of the following, unless otherwise permitted by 14.2.11.1.2 [Which would not apply in this case]

Seriously, this has to violate fire codes if nothing else. There’s only one point of egress, from the sound of it.

KoboldCoterie, to NoStupidQuestions in Is it "an RTS" or "a RTS" ?
@KoboldCoterie@pawb.social avatar

It’s based on how it’s pronounced, not written, so it’s “an R-T-S”, or “a real-time strategy game”.

You should propose this research; maybe you can get a grant!
