Lack of marketing.
Poe’s Law go brrrrrrrt
11·23 hours agoI mean, it sounds like the number of millionaires leaving did go up. It’s just that there are plenty of other ones willing to replace them.
Explain to us what point you were trying to make by misrepresenting allegations as established fact, then.
I think he’s talking about how Meta was never good.
Taking less storage is almost the entire point of a zip file. It only takes more space than the original files in pathological cases (e.g. maybe if you’re trying to compress already-compressed data, like a video file).
Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.
This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”
251·1 day agoNice try, article. The headline clearly says the volcano released magic super-germs from deep inside the Earth.
The McDonald’s in Rome (specifically, the one near the Spanish Steps) is pretty darn nice, NGL. I got a gelato there once, which is better than anything I ever got at an American McDonalds.
(Ironically for the grandparent commenter’s point, I visited two McDonald’s on that trip specifically to see what might be different about them in other countries. The other one was in the Amsterdam airport during my layover, whereupon I got a McKrocket. It was suitably weird.)
I’m also a software engineer and am still interested in building my own PCs, but I like the GabeCube anyway because you literally cannot build a PC that small, not even with mini-ITX.
I kinda feel like I’d want a Strix Halo (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395) in that form factor even more, though.
BRB, checking archive.org for a minute…

Now I just need to replicate (pun intended) the physical game pieces…
But yeah, I think an LLM / deepfake Martok that responds to your open-ended D&D-style gameplay would be way better. I feel like we might just about have the technology to pull it off IRL!

Starfighter, obviously.

Sugar Rush and Fix it Felix Jr.

Does a tabletop game with an AI video DM count as a video game? If so:

I want to build myself a Starfighter arcade cabinet.
It would mostly run MAME, but also… it could run Starfighter!
71·3 days agoIs metasearch really the best we can do? What about YaCy, or something else more like that?
The dream of truly Griswoldian Christmas lights slips ever further from our grasp. Sure, we can blind the neighbors more easily than ever, but what’s the fun of that if you can’t take down the whole power grid along with it? 😞
For any machines that are too inefficient to be worth continuing to compute with, you could at least save the power supplies for electronics projects. I’ve got some 12V addressable RGB Christmas lights being powered by an old ATX power supply, for example.
