  I would be totally down for some trustworthy and transparent verification service that does not store or hand out your data. Since pretty much everyone will need to verify for whatever at some point, I think this would be awesome to have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The last couple updates made it better, but I wouldn’t exactly call Element a smooth experience. For example it recently began to try and access a keyring that doesn’t exist, ignoring the one that I already have readily available, and that works for everything else.

  This is the latest in a long series of frustrating experiences with Matrix in general. To this day, Element isn’t stable, and Element X is somehow worse. It is, imo, a very promising option, but it is also far from perfect.

  You can also just donate! They even have merch if you want some of your money going that direction

  They want to make Celestial on 18A, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re past that point as well. 4k @ 240 Hz is so good, most people won’t be able to tell the difference to an 8k, 480 Hz monitor. Even if they pay special attention to it. Probably not even in A/B testing.

  There is still room for improvement in the area of HDR, but monitors are almost as good as they will ever get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI controls is coming to Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of inconviniences? I have experienced literally none - except you may need to enable DRM. That’s one then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI controls is coming to Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is still NoScript, which is arguably much better than that, since it offers more granular control

  I would stay at home for an okay income and kids, although, as an IT guy, I could probably still work from home part time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is also important to note that the bible was curated (and probably even edited) by the Catholic Church in the past. So what you read is basically only what they wanted you to read to begin with. I would really like to get into the apocrypha at some point - especially into alternative descriptions to the biblical canon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Praise where praise is due: They did pump out a ton of free updates. Does this compensate for the terrible state the game was released in? That’s something everyone needs to judge for themselves imo.

  Does the game have what they once promised now? Is it “good” yet? I think that’s a more difficult question. If I was to criticise Hello Games for anything, than that even now they have not met some of the expectations they set. At least not for me personally.

  And I’m not talking about bs speculation or hype, I am talking about things they have said would be in the game, some of which are still not here, and many of them feel like an alpha version of what you would expect. I can’t help but feel disappointed even today.

  Isn’t the Switch 2 is cheaper in today’s money than the PS3 was without a decade of inflation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PFP Evolution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I only watched S1 and the very start of S2, but I would say there is clearly a much worse one. If he just picked her the series would have been over immediately, another big plus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe has ‘lost the internet’, warns Belgium’s cyber security chief⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I really have to wonder where all this doomsaying is coming from. Best case, as you already mentioned, serving some self-interest, worst case someone else’s. There is so much conflation here - AI and internet, infrastructure and services, research and commercial development. And everything is downplayed to make the EU look bad.

  The EU is right there at the forefront of AI research for example. Just because some megacorp can sell slop at a loss, this doesn’t mean we have ‘lost the race’ or anything, wth are they even talking about.

  You see stuff like this constantly and it’s almost always corpo leeches trying to get state money, people sucking up to or being controlled by a superpower of choice or someone who has no idea what they are even talking about.

  One final example: The German Telekom is the largest telco/internet provider by revenue in the fucking world, and competitive in the US. (Only by revenue tho.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla's new CEO says AI is coming to Firefox, but will remain a choice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use LLMs on a daily basis as a search engine replacement and, to a limited degree, for coding (e.g. comments, boilerplate). I am not against it coming to my browser in principle, but on the other hand, I can just visit Lumo, Duck AI or whatever else to have AI in my browser. So the Mozilla basically has to find an answer to the question of why I need more.
