Does this analysis hold for luxury goods? A Switch 2 is not a necessary purchase, and alternatives to it (games and game consoles) can be found for extremely cheap.

I also think Nintendo has even more strong competition today than it used to with the rise of cellphones and app stores. I’d argue those mobile games tend to be crap, but that’s a separate concern from how accessible they are…

Notably, Youtube does not consider exploiting children for profit harmful.

Oh lord. I bet he was such a joy to be around.

In addition to your point, literally just two days ago I saw an article about a Texas sheriff running a search through a nation-wide network of license plate readers to track down a woman suspected of having an abortion.

Oh OK they didn’t stop her on the street, they just queried the panopticon system that tracked her movement as much as possible. Want to protest a genocide your state and university are sponsoring? Sorry, MIT will muzzle you and now you are now forbidden from giving the commencement address. Wouldn’t want to offend the dear leader in the white house.

Honest and good work to figure out jailbreaks for ai interviewers. Even more honest and good to never accept these interviews because fuck that 100%

Curated by experts, specifically. Seeing a lot of people use this stuff and flop, even if they’re not doing it with any intention to spam.

I think the curl project gets a lot of spam because 1) it has a bug bounty with a payout and 2) kinda fits with CVE bloat phenomenon where people want the prestige of “discovering” bugs so that they can put it on their resumes to get jobs, or whatever. As usual, the monetary incentive is the root of the evil.

damn the 2020s felt like decades ago 😥

That tweet must be some kind of joke, because I don’t know what to make of the many people who use Linux outside of embedded and server applications. And it doesn’t even have to be my hearsay because the Steam Deck is exactly such a device.

In fact, I have a USB audio interface which I use near daily on Linux that has no driver support in modern Windows, because the vendor only provided beta support for Windows 7 as that OS was releasing. By Windows 8 it was unsupported. So the journey of that device is XP->Stable, Vista->Stable, 7->Unstable, 8±> Non-functioning. If the driver ABI were so stable, why does my device not work on Windows anymore?

Gamer-focused derivative of Fedora Linux.

I’d not heard of your site before, but it sounds like it was a cool thing while it lasted. That seems to be the trend of the day. The cool things are giving way to very dumb things.

There is no .srt in this case. This is also not about bitmap dvd vobsubs.

The Epson initially worked with 3rd party ink then after a software update didn’t

Infuriating!

Interesting observation. It is indeed already installed with Fedora.

Apple bought and sponsored CUPS, essentially, until they no longer did. That story is very briefly touched on here https://www.phoronix.com/news/Apple-No-More-CUPS

I don’t know the full history of mdns and zero config networking, but Bonjour is indeed Apple’s implementation of it. In my printer’s web config page it specifically lets me enable/disable Bonjour, so I assume they are using Apple’s implementation. On Linux we have Avahi as a competing piece of software to provide the same service.

Seems unfair to not share what I’ve been printing! Plus some status/config pages and I ran a few tests to see how I can manually duplex print (odds then evens on the back). I only have a few sheets of printer paper so I’ve been running them through again and again 😆

Seems like they were console only games, so you’d have to try with an emulator. Look at compatibility pages such as https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Army_of_TWO for example, while taking note of any special options you need to enable to get it to work.

The patches there makes it sound like there are custom servers to play multiplayer on a network connection. But I have no further insight into how well the game works or if such private server software even exists.

I’d be willing to bet if you put a calendar reminder in one year to check back on this you’d find that this car did not actually reach the mass-produced stage of industry.

Sounds like your school needed better funding and more teachers. 50 students per class? I’m sorry you had to suffer that. This is the future that people like the CEO of DuoLingo want. They want to gut traditional education. Don’t see how this makes him right about anything.

Stressing out in what way? For the viability of your job being lost to this ai bullshit? For the outcomes of students who will just try to chatGPcheaT their way through everything?

“God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,” the former Israeli ambassador said.
