Now we’re getting somewhere. This explains exactly how much I hoped and dreamed it would.

62·11 hours agoBut is i anything like Earth? That’s what I want to know.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•game suddenly stopped working, how to trouble shoot?English
3·17 hours agoWhen I have had something previously working to not working with no known changes, it has usually been failing hardware, for me.
Keep an eye on your heat - both in the PC itself, and in the charging cord (if a laptop).

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Palworld Hits Nearly 1 Million Concurrent Players 10 Days After 1.0 LaunchEnglish
81·1 day agoI was part of this adoption wave.
During the first hype wave, I felt nervous about their getting the game to a full release.
It’s a great game!
Examined as pokemon game, I rank Palworld somewhere a bit below Dragon Warrior Monsters II, but well above Pokemon Ruby (which itself is great).

Technology@lemmy.zip•OpenAI Models Escaped Containment and Hacked Hugging FaceEnglish
23·1 day ago“This is not an AI problem. It’s negligence on a 40-year-old standard—and it’s basically every sci-fi film ever,” says longtime security and compliance consultant Davi Ottenheimer. “‘Highly isolated’ and ‘escaped through the one hole we left open’ cannot both be true.”
Art should evoke emotion in the observer. Keep at it. You’re doing it.
P.S. I second the motion that the charred cat carcass should become a recurring character.

movies@piefed.social•Pixar Bears Brunt of Disney Studio Layoffs as Company Axes Several Hundred StaffersEnglish
17·1 day agoThey ran the clock out on anyone noticing that they bought their only real competitors.
Marvel and Fox next, I expect.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian Testing as a daily driver - can anyone share their experience?
2·2 days agoOh, yeah. None of my usual techniques would help get newer KDE on stable.
I guess there’s a chance it’s in back-ports, or will get there soon.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian Testing as a daily driver - can anyone share their experience?
3·2 days agoI can’t comment on Debian Testing.
I just run stable and pull cutting edge stuff from back-ports or flathub.
For some fancy stuff there’s usually a .deb file to download from the official site.
If I’m really desperate, there’s always piping a curl command to sudo, if I really really trust the provider.

Technology@lemmy.world•'My heart is empty': Millions of Chinese forced to end AI relationshipsEnglish
9·4 days agoMisleading title (not yours, the article, itself).
Omitting the word “minors” from the title makes a world of difference.
Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.
Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

Technology@lemmy.world•The AI Backlash Has Tech Executives Fearing for Their LivesEnglish
87·3 days agoAbout fucking time.
Citizen’s United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.
If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.
Edit: Getting off of the list of the world’s billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.
Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren’t doing it, today.
Anytime I want to listen to some ASMR, now, of course.
We are kind of on our way.
Half the time when I look up how to repair my dishwasher, the best video guide turns out to also be an intentional ASMR video to maximize attention.
(Okay, not really half, but that it happens at all is hilarious.)

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until nowEnglish
661·6 days agoMicrosoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.
Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn’t hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.
Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.

U.S. News@beehaw.org•Wall Street Wants to Change the Rules for Your 401(k). It Could Put Your Retirement at Risk.
12·7 days agoThere it is, folks. That’s how they plan to rob us to pay for their cocaine when the AI bubble collapses.
I loved that show.
“Your white guy does all that stuff for you?”
“Yeah. He’s great.”
“Can we trade white guys?”
Side splitting gags in the middle of a pretty solid message about how technology can systemicly abuse people.
“Apparently if we continued with our hiring plan, we would end up employing the sum total of humanity, and I guess doing that is illegal in some of the countries Viridian operates in, so they had to give in and actually fix the problem.”
How is this different from what anybody who hires or employs people do?
Fun question.
- Most employees will someday no longer be day-one idiot employees. (conttasted with AI)
- Many managers take a class or something to know how to get results from their employees. (in contrast with many people given unlimited token allowances)
- Most employees are capable of a relationship and even loyalty, if any is merited. (in contrast with corporate AI API vendors who only want to extract wealth)



Some very rich people who depend on others’ continued oil dependency to remain very rich own many media companies.
