  but Gaming Copilot silently installed anyway.

  Well how else are they going to get training data?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forgejo v13.0 is available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What are some benefits of a vcs being federated?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to say that was one of the favorited StarCraft game modes, 7v1. All against one insane level AI opponent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue that that is one of the expected/intended ways to play.

  I’m keeping a skeptical eye on them. I really like the concept obviously but remaining cautious for a number of reasons.

  Obviously as the other replies mention, Jeff Bezos is one of the initial investors, but that’s also true of Rivian. The important distinction is you don’t have to get the massive tablet computer/nav/infotainment system that would be susceptible to these OTA updates.

  Another reason is I was looking through available jobs that they were hiring for and a lot were AI-centric. It was unclear as to why, but obviously that just doesn’t sit right. Regardless of whether they use it for customer support, automotive design, or infotainment embedding, I can’t imagine a good reason and it was more than one type of position.

  With a focus on mental health, the logo for Wired Productions sure seems to be in bad taste considering it’s a fucking razor blade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing [technology executives]. You need to think of [them] the way you think of a lawn mower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ - lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about [technology executives].”

  I’ve been meaning to look back into spotizerr and now I’m curious if it’ll give me lossless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you're a child, cake for dinner feels great. When you're an adult, cake for dinner feels bad.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just because your parents drill it into you that you should feel bad for essentially eating a reward when you haven’t earned it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do actually remember having the Sonic games, or at least the first one pictured in the thumbnail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dual boot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SilverBullet v2 released: open-source, self hosted, programmable notes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks like it could be an open source alternative to obsidian.md. Would anyone be able to speak to that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky Voyagers free update released with modular Corvette ships you build yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t understand how they’re able to keep churning out DLC sized free updates. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re not charging. I just don’t get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not how I take notes. I usually end up panicking that I’m not getting everything I want and ultimately give up. I do the same thing trying to take notes playing D&D to this day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My issue is that I type faster than I write. I think instead they should push for something like audio/memo recorders.

  “You have destroyed the very thing you swore to become” also works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With Battlefield 6 beta queues stretching around the block, a "substantial increase in server capacity" should just have helped⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It requires SecureBoot to be enabled. And apparently CoD plans to do the same soon with a patch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io has begun restoring NSFW content, but only if it’s free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just saw GoG announce freedomtobuy.games too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In search of riches, hackers plant 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi in bank network⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So they just plugged it directly into the same network switch the ATM is on? That sounds incredibly dumb. The only ATMs I’ve seen the inside of had the network switch locked inside with the vault.

  Also our bank had some kind of port security so if it wasn’t a recognized MAC address, the port just switched off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 won't cost $80, but EA aren't ruling out future price hikes "to capture the full spectrum of pricing"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember enjoying 4 the most of the “recent” Battlefields. I didn’t play too many others except for a little 2042 which I can see having similar issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 won't cost $80, but EA aren't ruling out future price hikes "to capture the full spectrum of pricing"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, I might wait until it’s on Game Pass or PS Plus, and if not, I simply won’t play it. Hell, there’s a good chance I won’t play it regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looked this up out of curiosity and the fact that it will only somehow allow mobile notifications for “up to 10 users” even if self hosting for free, is putting me off. I get if you were using their cloud, but restricting self-hosting almost feels malicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like I’m on v6 and it’s not here either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know several people that do this, but most often it’s parents with kids. That’s still not an excuse though as there deserve their own privacy. In all cases that I’ve seen though, it’s through Apple/iPhones. Now I’m not saying Android users can’t or don’t do this, but Apple makes it so easy, that it’s everywhere and I hate that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgrace to you disgrace to your family disgrace to your cow⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watch Dubbed with subtitles. Come at me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. Honestly it was probably a safe bet too considering how much they have their hands in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t seem to find evidence of that. All I see is they’re Amazon affiliates, which pretty much anybody can be.

  Do you have a source?
