proper punctuation kinda takes away from this writing style

I feel like scanner apps should have a special check for that specific url and start playing the song immediately without asking for a confirmation

Presumably those failsafes can be circumvented and your character being a cool hacker applies those exploits to their hardware.

It’s cool the first couple times but I wish there was a lemmy setting to disable it

Epic are the ones with the resources to sue, but a favorable decision would almost certainly also apply to third party repos such as https://f-droid.org/

Maybe we could do better with smaller ais that are fine tuned (or RAG idk I’m not a programmer) on a specific code base + documentation + topical forum

Yeah the real reason they’re doing this cultural stuff is that they need a distraction from the fact that their material/economic platform is becoming more and more unpopular every year. So the anti woke/anti immigration frenzy must continue

Dem politicians should point this out more, but their economic program isn’t very popular either. I miss Bernie :(

in the end we end up using containers afaict

To be fair it’s not a mysterious “they”, it’s just an option available for channel owners to set alternative thumbnails and then check which does better. I don’t think YouTube does this by itself if the uploader doesn’t enable it

Am I missing something? I thought you weren’t required to put a return address on postcards. Just put your username and email.

yes, that’s why I put it in quotes. However given the diversity of culture and language there’s still going to be slurs that the predominantly English speaking mods will not be aware of, so users should be able to set their own filters.

Op’s take is not reasonable imo- if you think threats are harmful enough to prosecute they should also be harmful enough to censor.

Maybe a more soft form of censorship, such as hiding them behind a cw and a “user was vanned for this post” label rather than outright removal, but you can’t just do nothing.

My personal opinion is that for “edge cases” like cisgender, I should be the one who decides what “slurs” I see or don’t see on the feed, rather than some shmuck twitter mod who watched a YouTube video or whatever.

The thing is, I dislike censorship in general. Corporate or government. Yes it’s the corp’s prerogative, but we’re allowed to criticize corporate censorship and hypocrisy regarding censorship.

I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies run by billionaires while criticizing censorship by the government. They’re not that different.

Shout-out to the original homeworld manual

My go to example for “we should have let them cook” is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS

The US government in 1962 regarded the project as a major threat due to the “tremendous increments in economic productivity” which could disrupt the world market. Arthur Schlesinger Jr, historian and special assistant to President Kennedy, described “an all out Soviet commitment to cybernetics” as providing the Soviet Union a “tremendous advantage” in respect to production technology, complex of industries, feedback control and self-teaching computers.

yeah maybe we should let them cook for a bit

The obvious conjecture is that they were trying to commit fraud and get free copper
