  • Are the Russian fascists in the room right now?

    Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey and is currently majority-owned and ran by Jay Graber, a Chinese-American woman from Tulsa.

    Hell, I even searched specifically for controversies and Russian connections, and absolutely everything that came up said the exact opposite of your claims here.

  • Considering that some searches right now tend to be thirty different "news" sites republishing the same article... I dunno how to feel about this.

  • Workstation has been free for personal use for a while now. Of course, that "free" was locked behind some weird process that was paradoxically focused on business use. I don't expect much more from this change.

  • Also Doctor Who.

  • Wait, is that the actual like it copies? Does powershell just straight up parse base64?

  • That's not specific to shitty suspicious marketplaces. Fucking Chase Bank allowed some fucker to use my E-mail address with no verification. I didn't have any idea until I started getting emails about this asshole's mortgage. They won't do a damned thing about it, either.

  • Blocking an article worldwide based on the orders of a single oppressive regime? That settles it, Wikipedia is no longer worth donating to, since they've proven they're willing to bow to this type of thing rather than stand behind the truth.

  • I still dualboot because I have games that don't work right, but every instance of that in my case seems to be problems with DXVK. In some cases, but not all, I've noticed it severely degrades performance, and in others, it seems to break certain features, such as streaming video. I actually had one game that I finished about 90% of before I encountered a sequence with a projector playing a video with important information. That would only display on Windows without DXVK, which was... unpleasant.

    Of course, the most extreme DXVK problem I ever encountered was about two years ago, but I can't remember what game it was. What I do remember, however, is the extreme and rapid flashing it caused as the visuals horribly corrupted. IMO, DXVK functionality seems to still be one of the bigger hurdles.

  • I'd just like to point out that WordPress is GPL, so anyone could do whatever they want with the code, including Auttomatic. If people using the software in a way that, although uncool, is totally something they agreed to, the best bet would be to leave WordPress as-is and spin continued development into a new product with a new license. Would people like it? No. Do people like this, though? Hell no.

  • Please, DOJ, smash Google with a hammer and redistribute the pieces!

  • I use Floorp and Startpage. I don't trust DDG after the whole Microsoft debacle. Though, I'm not really that hot on Startpage since they use the same deceptive advertising practices as Google and Bing (disguising ads as results).

  • Scroll down and listen to the recording for Never Gonna Give You Up. Someone knows where that box is.

  • Yeah, it's kinda been all over the place, but that's where the show ended up going, except Vault Tech was very much in the loop. I can't get spoiler tags to work, so I'll leave out the details.

    What I'm thinking of, though, was also in Fallout 4. I've been thinking on it, and I remember now that what I'm thinking of is that it's implied that the AI from the Railroad quests fed fake info about incoming missiles to force America to fire. I still don't remember any specifics, though, and I could be misremembering. It's been a good few years after all, lol.

  • There are actual science fiction stories built on the premise that AI reporting on the start of Nuclear War resulted in actual kickoff of the apocalypse, and we're at that corner now.

    IIRC, this was the running theory in Fallout until the show.

    Edit: I may be misremembering, it may have just been something similar.

  • Oh, this would be funny if people en masse were smart enough to understand the problems with generative ai. But, because there are people out there like that one dude threatening to sue Mutahar (quoted as saying "ChatGPT understands the law"), this has to be a problem.

  • Spite. That's why.
