AI slop meets e-waste.

The rest of the world wouldn’t have to agree to it, but I do think it would be a needless complication.

People get addicted to drugs, alcohol, and gambling too; that doesn’t make it good for them.

At least if there were two upgradable RAM slots the end user would have the choice to add a second 8GB card at a later point (or even just one slot for compactness), but that of course isn’t the way Apple does things.

A $600 laptop with only 8GB of RAM was never an amazing deal by normal laptop standards.

Racing games are personally not my thing, but thanks for your original contributions to the Threadiverse; it’s refreshing to see hobbyist posts on the platform. 👍

It is adviseable to install a thin layer of high value insulation board behind each Swift Brick where it has been incorporated in an insulated surface so as to avoid “cold bridges”.

The Trump regime being Putin’s puppet, as always.

If anything, that’s just an indicator of Google’s market dominance. Microsoft’s actions are ethically dubious, but more countries need to adopt legislation in the style of the EU’s Digital Services Act to promote competition to prevent consumers from assuming that Google is the sole means of searching online.

Bing intercepts the query

I’m by no means a supporter of Microsoft, but most search engines don’t redirect users to a company’s website just by entering their name as the search query. It’s not ‘intercepting’ anything, just adding a search widget to the results page.

Instances have downtime from time to time, some moreso than others. Per fediverse.observer, feddit.online seems to have a lower uptime rate than other Piefed instances.

Alternative to CBS. Also, AMP articles are problematic for several reasons, and thus articles should be linked to directly.

“If you are smart and know how to put a good framework of AI agents to work, you can do the work of ten or fifteen people,” he added.

Developing it with AI agents not only makes it less secure, but also makes the sought European label highly suspect.

Be the change you want to see; if you’re into FNAF, find or create a community for it, post regular FNAF news as it comes out, and I’m sure you’ll find at least a few people interested in it.

A game that amounts to a graphically enhanced N64 game shouldn’t cost $50.

Most of GameStop’s inventory has shifted to being gaming accessories, trading cards, and merch anyhow, so game sales are less important to them than they used to be.

Reposting Reddit content in bulk to Lemmy (versus individual users reposting their own guides or informational posts) does nothing to organically build communities here, instead leaving a bunch of empty posts that make their communities look dead. It’s a chicken and egg problem, of course, but simply copying Reddit content wholesale isn’t the answer.

Edit: Just want to clarify that I’m not doing any downvotes here, and see the logic in that having the best of the best Reddit content here could help convince some people to look at otherwise dead communities. The problem is that relying on such content encourages Lemmy users to be consumers of content rather than producers in their own right, and therefore think that maximizing opportunities for Lemmy users to contribute in their own right is for the best.

The overlay could be removed with an ad blocker, or they could switch to Desktop View, or they could switch to Old Reddit.

Even better, they could switch to the Threadiverse and not need to deal with a company progressively tightening the belt on user freedom for profit maximization.
