You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?

42·8 days agoThis is so much better than a remake or remaster.
id Software led the way, decades ago, making Doom and then Quake engines open source. I wish more studios would donate their old software to the public domain.
Fingers crossed one day we will get Unreal source code. I wonder if it even still exists.
2·9 days agoIn-memory computing is a new way of computing that aims to solve the memory latency problem. As the name suggests, in-memory computing enables the system memory to do some calculations the CPU would do otherwise, cutting down the amount of data that must be transferred between the CPU and DRAM.
Samsung and TSMC are actively working on memory capable of doing this, featuring MRAM memory cells. In-memory computing is still in the prototype phase, but progress is being made on the hardware side to make it a viable technology. With the help of conversion layers like PyPIM, software should be developed to support this computing method.

I don’t think that would be particularly successful either (you would need a tremendous amount of data and DNA sequencing is expensive), but it would be interesting to see the results.
the lawsuit accuses Keighin of streaming leaked Switch games, including this month’s Mario & Luigi: Brothership, ahead of release using emulation software as many as 50 times in the last two years. Nintendo is seeking $150,000 in damages for each instance of alleged copyright infringement.
Hilarious that the screenshot Kotaku use in the article is his social media post with his recommendations of what sites to download the games from.
I like to pipe my json to
python -m json.toolfor quick formatting in the terminal.
Informative and interesting article, thanks for sharing.
Quite a few of these POSIX improvements were new to me, even though it turns out that they already exist in the GNU versions of the tools.
The ad at the end doesn’t help either.

Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅
You removed the emphasis on “You” from my quote which changes the meaning. I specifically meant that you, the person that I am replying to, don’t need to do anything, and there are people who will do something on your behalf.
Nothing that you’ve said changes my critique of your critique btw. You said:
he lives in absolute La La land
No, actually he presented a well thought out analysis of the way that the relationship between business and customer/user in our current system, along with the relationship between business and legislator, both entrenches monopolies and causes a pathological dependency whereby customers cannot exercise their right to freely choose with whom they do business, and so their rights are severely diminished.
the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.
The main point of my reply was that you are arguing against a straw-man here since the intended audience of the article is not “the people with power.”
like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.
A non-sequitur and then a baseless dismissal of the argument that suggests that you either didn’t read it, or didn’t understand it.
Did you think this blog post was aimed at the people with power, to petition them to change the laws?
It’s aimed at us, the people getting fucked over, to point out what (among the many other things) we should be fighting for. Commentary like this is important to align the goals of the organizations, charities and lobby groups that defend YOUR civil rights by filing amicus briefs, publishing articles, encouraging activism and drives to get citizens to write to their representatives on the important matters that affect their rights. You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked by Big Tech and capitalism, on a volunteer basis.
It sounds to me like you’ve just given up hope that any progress can be made on this front, given the new status quo.
Never give up. Just because civil rights defenders will be on the defensive for a few years does not mean that discussions of what is worth defending no longer have value.
3·15 days agoYes sorry, I didn’t realize that until I posted it and saw all of the “cross-posted to:” links. It’s the first time it’s posted to this community though, and I think it’s an important topic.
8·17 days agoWho funded the research? They probably have the source code and want to keep it proprietary.

Yes, I use a uBlock Origin filter that looks like this:
lemmy.ml##div.mt-2.post-listing:has(.d-sm-block.d-none>.post-container.row>.flex-grow-1.col>.row>.flex-grow-1.col>.post-title:has-text(/trump|elon|musk|biden|kamala/i))You’ll need to modify the domain at the start (replace
lemmy.mlwith your instance hostname) and then change the keywords at the end with whatever keywords you want to exclude.To use it:
