"I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers." feels like it sets bad expectations considering it's just "do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?" and 'game publishers' might be a little out of date with their wording/justification

The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[..]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[..]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.
I'm kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)
With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if Scalability and Funding were big issues. In regards to new user experience, I personally think https://joinmastodon.org/ does a great job, though maybe is a bit wordy in comparison to any 'sign up and type' social media
We are still playing catch-up to millennia worth of oppression. Rectifying historical disadvantages and creating a more inclusive learning environment are both boons that will benefit us in the long run. I don't think it's fair to call that racism. I agree with the need to fund primary education of these communities, that is very needed. I don't necessarily agree with (maybe I'm reading into your message a bit) that colleges don't heavily weigh all the other factors that they do for white people.
As an added bonus, why diverse teams are smarter
i'll admit, it would probably be healthier if you guys could move on now
like sure, keep posting about reddit stuff for the next month, there's probably relevant stuff to talk about, but there's no reason to obsess over spez this bad
as a sidenote, really hate how you need to tie either a google or facebook account to make a definition on this site
I was always cautiously curious about the game but am not thrilled about supporting Rowling. Last time I checked it seemed like it was proving to be extremely difficult to crack.

you're thinking of EMPRESS
Definitely presented as out of spite
Some people speculate that this is the cover-up persona to hide that they're actually a team with people who have worked on Denuvo themselves, and it certainly sounds more believable than this single woman managing to crack Denuvo in 14 days when every other cracker still in the business can't.
(but also some people are truly insane who knows)
It is probably an indirect criticism of the "just make better decisions and you'll be rich" mentality that generally tries to put rich people on a pedestal for being geniuses who 'figured it out' and 'read between the lines' to get on top
They are asking ISPs to lay out their best justification so that they can decide whether it's valid or not. Judging by their wording, they want a good explanation. It's good to gain understanding of something before we gut it and who better to ask for the 'best argument for' than those who enforce it?
I feel like I'm going to refer to these places as ActivityPub in the future because I feel like kbin, lemmy, and beehaw sound a bit silly.
Fediverse also sounds like it gets the wrong idea across to a regular person ("does it have to do with 'the feds'?")
I personally like Mastodon, but last time I namedropped it, people were like "ohh, I love that band"
I feel like we're in a naming crisis haha

If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval
given Tesla's trackrecord, paraplegics beware!
obviously other ways get less coverage because it's not as excitingly scifi as propping metal in your brain, but I think I would rather a CTRL-Labs armwrist even if it is owned by Facebook
if you're excited about this kind of stuff I would recommend reading more about OpenBCI, or y'know, anything that already has results within moving things with a thought.
I would sooner look to VR (as soon as we get commercial batteries that can keep up) to be the replacement 'second brain' for a computer if we're talking about the idea he once talked about accessing the internet from anywhere
If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still take several years, potentially more than a decade, for the start-up to secure commercial use clearance, experts earlier told Reuters. The company is also competing with other neurotech companies which have already implanted their devices in people.
like idk journalists should stop talking about Neuralink, all it does is risk stocks related to Musk go up, though this one is soberingly skeptical.
The thing about an old president is that even if he grows senile, there's the entire rest of their administration that generally have the same goals in mind as them.
“Wow!! Now this is Crazy..did The Christian Owners Sale? Or are they just in Compromise ..and crossed the line and gone woke?!! This is absolutely insane..And a line Real Christians would never cross!!” another user said in reply to repost of the pictures on Facebook.
The name HD 189733 b is derived from the naming convention used for astronomical objects. Let's break it down:
HD: HD stands for Henry Draper Catalogue, which is a stellar catalog containing information about thousands of stars. It was compiled by Annie Jump Cannon and her colleagues in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The number represents the specific star in the Henry Draper Catalogue. In this case, HD 189733 refers to the star around which the exoplanet was discovered. The number of the star has no meaning outside of that it was the 189733rd catalogued one in HD's catalogue
The letter "b" is used to designate the first known planet orbiting the star. (a is for stars) If additional planets were discovered in the same system, they would be labeled with subsequent letters in alphabetical order (e.g., HD 189733 c, HD 189733 d, and so on).
Therefore, HD 189733 b signifies the first planet discovered orbiting the star HD 189733. This naming convention allows astronomers and researchers to identify and differentiate between different planets and their host stars in a systematic manner.
TOI 849 b is TESS Object of Interest's 849th discovery of interest. The numbers are essentially arbitrary outside of that numbers before them have already been taken.
I thought this was just going to be 'The Enshiftification of TikTok' again but it became so much more (and as an added bonus was made 1 month before that article.)
fuck all these people
