Shit like this is a reminder to me that a large portion behind some AI products’ hype are people who have no clue what these products even do. I wonder how the world would change, if these jack of all trades who invest waste so much time into collecting ideas to fill up their pockets, instead spent more time on actually understanding the ideas they have chosen and build at least a fundamental knowledge.
No, because I’m not dating at all.
Wir sollten schon mal die Entwicklung der übernächsten und überübernächsten Bürger-App zuweisen, bevor schon diese hier auch wieder mit digital-bürokratischem Chaos fallen gelassen wird.
For legal protection you register your script (e.g. in the USA with the WGA or USCO) or you maintain evidence. Whether or not you should worry about it is debatable. And it might be different everywhere. But first time movie writers, especially in Hollywood, should rather worry about getting into the industry in the first place. And for that, no matter what some scammy gurus, who teach you the 3 act structure like some form of deep complex science, tell you, your screenplay matters very little.
Just to rule this out: are you certain that you’re not confusing this 3D projection of a tesseract with some other news?
Or if you are certain that you saw hardware in a cube shape, did its design give you any clue why it was named “tesseract” - similar to this PC.
But it’s the other way around. The focus point of the artist is the erotic depiction. Can you really blame the artist for making this kind of art with otherwise amusing situations and humor?
That’s the thing with comic strips. They can be self-contained entertainment, but you lose some context nonetheless.
I hate them for downplaying the problems of their loot-boxes and for not willing to take any measure against it.
I do not hate them for taking a massive slice out of developers’ paychecks. A developer must make the choice whether the benefits of Steam are worth that slice or not.
And uh…I do not feel overwhelmingly happy, when a game on my wish-list is on sale. But I do not hate it…If people buy a game they didn’t want…out of fear of missing out on a sale…then, sorry, but they need to get their shit together and take active efforts to have more control over their money.
This might seem unusual, but some weird people out there hate corporations for what they actually do and not because hating corporations is their fashion statement.
Are you talking about “Tak and the Power of Juju”? I only know Tak as a boardgame from the Kingkiller Chronicle, which didn’t match your complaints :D
The real alternative is much more simple - static HTML + CSS with manual deployment and manual file transfer. If that’s not enough, you can step-by-step add to it. There certainly are web applications that benefit from the complex defaults. I don’t hate these tools per se. I hate that they are the default. Yet it only makes that most web developers need a job and to get that job they need to use an overkill stack for their personal and community projects.
If you want to hear an upside, just remember that this happens everywhere and at least the modern web dev chaos is mostly built on top of free and open-source tools and not proprietary bullshit.
Yikes! I caught myself making the assumption that this was an “official” mod’s post in response to the existing discussion…
I hope you don’t mind a non-US-American comment on this one. I see this kind of statement/question quite often and I have a few things to say about it:
It’s not rare to find people who speak more than 3 languages around the world. However in most countries schools just cover the languages you are expected to know in your country/region and the most common lingua franca(e). You guys simply need less languages in your daily business. If anything, there should be a bigger emphasis on Spanish in your education, at least in some states.
The truly foreign languages we learn at school do not stick with most of us. On the one hand, we had to pick a language that we may have not been interested in. On the other hand, you need to spend much more time beyond and after school to get beyond the basics for real life communication - even if the common reference level says otherwise. Even English or the respective lingua franca for the given region is mostly learned from real day-to-day communication. The school lessons serve more or less as a frame.
Sure, learning a foreign language is naturally useful for traveling, job prospects and educational value. But when you rewire/extend your brain a language beyond some basics for traveling, you have a bigger understanding how different languages can be, how much gets lost in translation and how little you understand of the world.
I’m not sure, if Spanish in the USA can be as important as e.g. English in many European countries (as an outsider I get the impression that it should be even more important :D), but I think treating it that way would be a much bigger benefit for the entire USA. Oh and 4) most bilingual Europeans who are yapping about dumb Americans on the internet have no idea how ignorant they are themselves. Greetings from an immigrant child from Germany! <3
People who only ever think within their country and, related to that, don’t know any geography beyond their borders exist everywhere. Hell, that’s the majority of the world. You just don’t see their gaps in world knowledge in the English-speaking world, because, well, they don’t speak English. And in my opinion, as long as you don’t have any responsibility towards the world, it shouldn’t be reprehensible to be ignorant towards the world.
However, I can imagine that the average European has a higher minimum knowledge about world geography than the the average American. And I think the biggest reason for that is the worldwide reach of US mainstream media. In European countries you passively get more exposure to the rest of the world - especially US music, movies, etc., but not only that. E.g. football fans will at least hear about countries and cities all around the world. The US media on the other hand, although it is definitely widening, is still much more egocentric, again, especially because they are the mainstream.

Watch your tongue, OSShole.
Except that this change doesn’t lock us into age verification at all. On its own it’s harmless. There are still steps ahead before it’s actually difficult to evade. And sure, we are heading that way and it only makes sense to be prepared for the steps towards the next steps of age verification laws. It really isn’t magic to comply with these small steps, as long as they themselves don’t present a treat, be aware of the bigger picture and still do the work to prevent the actual OS-level age verification.
I don’t have any cloud backup. If I had to, I’d probably use a self-hosted solution.

Kudos for the Fight Chat Control initiative! But I wonder, if providing a template ready to be sent to MEPs isn’t counterproductive?
Funny that you feel this way, because I thought about posting a similar and yet almost opposite post to !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world. I think it gets too much attention compared to other missions.
I think the Artemis mission isn’t completely useless and even regardless of Lunar economy and nostalgic motivation, there are some benefits, sure. But all of this over-sensationalized exposure with more emphasis on the USA is the reality check that we’re slowly resetting to a space race. I always thought that it was a beautiful story that what started as competition turned into the biggest evidence of our united efforts. And while I don’t think collaborations will end, I fear that they will turn into alliances and we are back to competition.
