The dark web stole my (copyrighted) identity

Of course there aren’t any reviews (not that I’d automatically believe them, anyway). While it sounds super exciting, I’m not super willing to spend almost 300USD for unverified tech. Somebody should send link this to Gamer’s Nexus to review lol

It’s crazy how little experts like these think of humanity, or just underestimate our tollerance and adaptability to weird shit. People used to talk about how “if we ever learned UFOs were a real phenomena, there would be global mayhem!” because people’s world views would collapse and they’d riot, or whatever. After getting a few articles the past few years since that first NY Times article, I’ve basically not heard anyone really caring (who didn’t already seem to be into them before, anyway). Hell, we had a legitimate attempt to overthrow our own government, and the large majority of our population just kept on with their lives.

The same AI experts 10 years ago would have thought the AI we have right now would have caused societal collapse.

Damn, had zero interest before but now I’m gonna go out of my way to actually buy his game

Sounds like they’re not prioritizing the shareholders interests! Last I heard, that’s a fireable offense!

Literally the only times I’ve heard anybody say anything about it was basically when they first learn about it and giggle for a few minutes, then get on with their lives.

I think the only way the name could be any sort of issue was if they were explicitly trying to be “family friendly,” which would imply that it’s intended for either christian mothers or advertisers (we all know how the children feel about sex jokes), which, since this is Lemmy and we’re talking about FOSS software, I’m sure I don’t have to explain why that’s a stupid idea.

Not an EU citizen but is there any way for you guys to jist like, kick them out? I only ever hear about people wondering why they were let in to begin with

EDIT: damn I’m learning a lot about euro politics from these replies. Thanks guys!

Can’t remember which is which but if it’s organized in a top-down way (broad category first) that’s just easier to look at and find stuff in the file system. I don’t want to have to actually read and mentally process the names of every single file to figure out if it’s the one I need. Sure, the “human readable” names are fine and good when you don’t have hundreds of them you’re trying to look through, but big projects I find are way easier to parse with the category naming.

I’ve only ever grepped log files. 9 years into my career now so not sure which side of the spectrum I’m on (i’m definitely on the spectrum)

That’s pig latin. They’re talking about old-timey toilets.

We have auto-complete just about everywhere now

vim

Especially when you reuse each of those names for all the scopes you have

Well shit

Wait people actually have money? i thought that was a myth

The beatings will continue until morale improves

In my own workplace, it’s sometimes resulted in massive rabbithole searches along the lines of “this doesn’t seem right. Why would this even be designed this way if it wasn’t intentional?” Which then becomes asking even more senior devs who had been there for decades to scour decades old emails and/or hitting up another decades senior dev who’s now on another project on the other side of the country to check their emails until we eventually figure out why it was, in fact, intentional.

I was going to make an annoying comment about how I’m a younger millenial (almosy gen-z) and immediately remembered how to do it, but then I realize it probably got imprinted in my brain a lot more strongly because I was younger when I got exposed to it.

I personally think consciousness has quantum properties due to certain brain structures that seem to amplify certain quantum effects.

As somebody who has a hobbiest interest in quantum dynamics, I am very interested on where you read that, and what those brain structures/effects are. The only known quantum phenomena associated with the brain I’m aware of is the wave function collapse from observation, and IIRC the “observation” can still take place without consciousness (quantum decoherence)

Chinese authorities actively organizing demonstrative visits, primarily for diplomats and journalists from Muslim countries.

Interesting. I wonder if this is a strategic move to capitalize on Gaza and grab some muslim nation friends in the middle east.

The internet is dead, or at least heavily necrotic, by this point. Aside from previously trusted sources that haven’t succumbed to the AI-generation hellscape, and even those trusted things are now so ad heavy that it feels like my back would break without my ad blocker on.

Lemmy and the fediverse I feel are better suited to absorb the negative effects of all that than any of the current monoliths.
