The people I know that use BlueSky just wanted Twitter without Musk. It wasn’t much more complicated than that and BlueSky has provided that.

Adding AI is very Musk-like so I’m not surprised there’s backlash.

No, I didn’t know about those. Thanks, I’ll check that out.

Yes. I want All to be just other instances that I’m interested in. Not every available (federated) instance.

The only problem with that is not seeing posts from other instances I don’t want to block.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d prefer Subscribed to be personally curated communities, Local to be instance curated, and All to be a place to get a broader picture of, well, everything.

I’d just find it easier/more natural to opt-in to other instance content rather than opt-out.

Essentially, yes. I think you still see comments from users on that instance if they comment on a post on an instance that isn’t blocked.

Amazing how much they will try to bend reality to their conception rather than the other way around. It’s a mental illness

But, if you’re a CEO, and lawyer tells you, “no, the contract is solid. Honor it,” what are you to do? Why, ask an agreeable LLM for an answer that conforms to your world view because, obviously, you’re right because you’re the CEO.

I loved Subnautica. I’ve replayed it more than any game I own. I got it for free from Epic (the only way I get games from Epic). I bought it for Switch. I bought Below Zero. The franchise was shaping to be a “here, take my money” deal.

I don’t want Subnautica 2. I mean, I want a Subnautica 2 not Krafton Subnautica 2.

I reserve some blame for the original owners/devs. If they hadn’t sold out, if they had followed more of a Hello Games model, they could’ve coasted indefinitely churning out cool games to loyal fans.

Last year, I set up an IG account to just view a family member’s posts. It required a photo of me. At first I was said, “fuck no”, but, just to see what would happen, I uploaded an image of some random face. I think it might have even been from a cartoon. It worked.

My friend has a VPN and runs them on his desktop Mac. He’s considering running on an old laptop or some other dedicated device

• VPN is a must.
• qbittorrent bound to the VPNs virtual network device.
• Prowlarr is enough to get started. Add some public trackers.

Then, Sonarr and Radarr for show and movie automation. Once you’re hooked, you’ll figure out the rest.

And, people have been asking them to clarify it and they just say, “no.”

They’re acting very suspiciously.

There have several reports recently of Netflix pressuring writers/directors/producers to create shows and movies tailored to distracted consumers. Basically, telling them to repeat plot points in dialog so that people ‘watching’ while doing other things can keep up.

I’d put that in the evil category along with advertising and media company consolidation.

This will be a glorious failure.

Fucking delusional twat. Either he’s on some serious drugs or this is some PR bullshit made to sound like he’s genuinely worried that Nobel laureate-level AI is right around the corner so that people will throw more money into his pocket company. Or both, could be both. But, I think he’s simply an asshole.

The only thing I respect about Tim Sweeney is that he has enough money to buy better looks but still looks like that. I mean, yeah, he looks like an insufferable dork/prick but he could afford to look like an insufferable dork/prick with hair, designer clothes and roided physique.

Oh, are we doing thin clients, again?

I think once a generation thin clients come up as a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

For iPhones, Find My only works powered off by Bluetooth connections to other devices. Unless someone is scanning and tracking Bluetooth radios, they can’t track you.

The vulnerability in the article is about apps that send location data back to a third party who makes it available to law enforcement.

Mainly, this is a problem for people who give any random app access to location data.

Such generic signage is a turn-off, too. They have a decent logo, they could have leaned into that motif. Instead, it looks like a generic fast food joint.

HBO execs are letting out a sigh of relief.

“Let’s take the most recognizable software package name and make it something totally divorced from what the software is supposed to be for.”

There are probably people for whom Microsoft Office is the only desktop software that they use. There are probably many people in procurement that are going to scratch their heads and think twice about signing off on something that sounds like a flight simulator.

This is an opportunity for alternate office suites.
