  • GTA 6 leaks prompt Take-Two to subpoena Microsoft for Windows device IDs of everyone in three Discord servers — daily gameplay leaks shatter cloud of secrecy around the much-hyped game

  • Yeah this feels like a turning point. Right now for most people it's a vague threat of privacy most people are somewhat aware of like "meh it's probably fine". If this goes through, it changes to a very real risk of being systematically doxxed at any time by whoever asks.

  • Reddit fades from ChatGPT citations

    Jump

  • I remember my most downvoted comment was on a video of someone driving down a residential street with cars parked on both sides of the road and no visibility. They were going exactly the speed limit, and they collide with a kid that pops out between cars, as kids are wont to do, and the dad comes out and punches the car in anger and yells at the driver.

    I commented that maybe you should slow down a bit when you're in a dangerous situation like that where you can't see pedestrians. Multiple people replied that the kid deserves to die for… being a kid? I think it was at worse than -100 votes when I checked before deleting my account. This was before A.I., but after it started becoming a toxic rage-bait machine. Everyone was in full justice boner mode for the dad and the kid being evil and stupid, and that drivers are completely within their rights to go full speed and hit any kids if they happen to appear.

    It's really a good case study on the way the average Redditor thinks / acts.

  • What has loyalty gotten you?

    Jump

  • Seems you're asking a philosophical question, which wasn't immediately obvious and others may have missed.

    Loyalty is valuable as an unwritten, intrinsic agreement between parties. If both parties are loyal to each other, it builds trust. Trust then facilitates many things, especially cooperation; there's less "verification of work" or suspicion, making processes more efficient. Mistakes and slights can be forgiven more easily. You get access to more resources and responsibilities, and become closer to the other party.

    If only one party is loyal, we call that betrayal, which destroys trust and relationships. So there's both risks and benefits involved with loyalty. You can do things like carefully choose who to be loyal to, but you can never guarantee they will reciprocate. The betrayed party often suffers severe consequences, which leads to interesting conundrums like the prisoner's dilemma.

    Loyalty is also expected in many social situations, but it's difficult to tell if someone is being truthful or pretending. Practically, in modern society, there's very little benefit to be loyal to large groups of people such as corporations or political parties. It's fundamentally a unilateral relationship, and gives you no benefit other than membership, with an almost guaranteed betrayal as you never actually accumulated any real trust or relationship with the larger entity. In these cases it's best to assume both parties are feigning loyalty for social politeness reasons and not accidentally become truly loyal.

    In contrast, it's a different story at the smaller, more human levels; such as clubs, romantic partners, family, etc. You're much more likely to receive benefits of trust, and less likely to be betrayed (in comparison). Of course it still happens a lot, but that's just life.

  • Means they have added you to their personal block list and won't see your posts anymore. Which is a bit crazy since your comment seems pretty normal to me anyway

  • Searching for an old Android app

    Jump

  • It probably still works. Have you tried actually contacting the author if you have their contact details? You'd be surprised how often this works. They might be willing to relist it on Google or even just send you an .apk you can install. Up to you how much you trust installing a random unverified .apk but that's a separate question

  • One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives

    Jump

  • Yeah this happened to me too when I drove my ex's car. Cars should not be jerking the wheel. The sensors are notoriously inaccurate at sunrise/sunset when the sun is glaring right in the sensors, and it causes glitches. Especially in wet conditions where the road is slippery and there's reflected glare as well… almost spun out from that shit once when I tried to turn and the car said NOPE and jerked me back into the straight lane. This was with indicators, mind you.

    I also remember one time we were driving on the freeway and the car suddenly spotted an "invisible fake ghost pedestrian", and SLAMMED on the brakes. Like screeching halt from 80kmph (50mph) in the middle of the busy road. Dunno how on earth we didn't cause an accident; the people behind us were locked in or something.

    Never drove that car again, fuck that. My ex likes that unruly beast for some reason; though they also liked horse riding, which features vehicles that are similarly unpredictable and dangerous, so I suppose it makes sense. I'm ok with beeping, that's fine and a sensible warning feature I can choose to ignore if it's wrong. I'm not ok with the car wrenching control of the vehicle out of my hands

  • 80% of developers find AI coding more addictive than helpful

    Jump

  • I don't trust A.I. code at all. If I ever do use it, I use it as a research tool like "please google for me how to do this one obscure thing because IDK what search query to use"; then I type out it's output manually. Usually as I do so, I come across some subtle error that would cause horrible problems, and fix it as I go.

    I tried to use it for a mathematical algorithm once. I might as well have just written return Math.random();

  • I thought this would be fun so I gave it a go.

    I asked for just a normal Australian home. Nothing too fancy.

    It gave me a mansion with 4 queen sized bedrooms lol. With an alfresco. I don't even know what an alfresco is. Also one of the bedrooms is a dungeon with no exit, and there's a hallway to nowhere. I questioned it about this, and it did that thing like "ok ok you got me, that was just a fake one for fun. Here's the REAL one.

    To get to the ensuite, you now have to go through the laundry. And to get to the walk in wardrobe you have to go through the ensuite. Also it added like, a "sub hallway" corridor tunnel thing to the secondary bedrooms like it's a dwarf fortress or a hotel or something. Super funny

  • In the latest article, he suddenly flat out refuses to talk about it whatsoever and drops the case, which usually means a private settlement. We have no way of knowing how much he got, unfortunately.

    And yeah it's horrifying, because it wasn't even like a tiny cross contamination mistake or something. There was so much lactose/nut allergens in her body, that her EpiPen and the hospital could do nothing to save her. Complete gross negligence.

  • GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?

    Jump

  • You're getting blasted for some reason lol

    To add some context, GitHub's primary strength is integrating different services. GitLab's primary strength is being "the one thing" that you use. It really depends on your business which one makes most strategic sense. For small to medium, GitLab is great. Even large it can work amazingly.

    However, I'll put my anecdotal two cents in and say that GitHub comes out ahead for very large enterprises, or if you do collaborative, or Business 2 Business stuff, just because of it's integrations. Integrations are king once you get to scale. If you're using GitLab + anything else, it's friction for each additional tool you use, rather than a force multiplier. At a certain point it restricts you.
