With some luck diabeties or aneurysm. He looks ripe for it.

I’m definitively hoping with you. But this ain’t a good news :-/

I’m not familiar enough with the gaming industry but ego is a bitch at c-level pretty much everywhere. To what extent will EVERYONE with enough influence want their bonus ? Or will they chose fuckery…

They were the shareholders weren’t they? The IP literally belongs to them. At this stage the community can write it off. I agree with you that there should be some form of deterrent so that others companies are not pulling the same crap.

Zero chance this end well. Once you overstay your welcome you leave or you take down the product in large orgs. Too much opportunity for fuckery at that level.

True for hackers… Somehow it started my career… but snow crash feels a bit like Uber-gig which isn’t what I would look forward to.

As a 80s kid I don’t recall being hyped. If anything all sci-fi books were warnings for us. Younger generations embraced the black mirror shit thought.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
Nha boomers are not the cause for this shit. Smart ass marketeers and tech bro pushing for more precise target identification and thus more reach for them are to blame. And those I stumble upon are definitely on the younger side.

- Comment on Hetzner (European hosting provider) to increase prices by up to 40% 3 weeks ago:
Yeah being European doesn’t mean someone will let go a good business opportunity… We’ll see others follow with similar increases unless the European stance on territoriality changes again.
- Comment on US Department of Homeland Security has reportedly demanded personal information about ICE's critics from Discord, Reddit, Google, and Meta—and at least 3 of those platforms have complied 3 weeks ago:
Well yeah but you that feels like a rather elaborate architecture.
Plus what about costs: storage and bandwidth costs quite a lot when looking at meaningful volumes :-/
P2P is getting practical for nn streaming from what I’ve experienced lately given fiber and larger home storage but once you’re looking at niche / not popular content peers are scarce and suddenly it takes ages to get content delivered.
- Comment on US Department of Homeland Security has reportedly demanded personal information about ICE's critics from Discord, Reddit, Google, and Meta—and at least 3 of those platforms have complied 3 weeks ago:
On that we agree: we must get rid way from those companies. And if possible get more of the general public to join us here.
I would love to see the fediverse being improved along my lines though. That would only improve it, its appeal and overall reliance.

Yeah but is the value in the service or the userbase and the data though?
When instances are going down that is at risk and the current federated model isn’t helping that much. Look at lemmynsfw and the other community that went down no so long ago.
Data portability and user migration isn’t so much more evident here quite yet.
Better sure but not perfect.
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
Slop apologist because I argue that correctly using a tool to restructure pre-existing information I’m inputting under my oversight is risk free?
You crazy ass end-of-world lunatic…
As far as I know slop always presupposes generation of derivatives, not restructuring or manipulation. You argue out of your ass and that’s just a bad opinion.
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
Nha that’s just plain wrong…also you can also fantastically screw flying a plane but so long you use LLMs safely you’re golden.
It also has no will on its own; it is not « working against you ». Don’t give those apps a semblance of intent.
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
LLM’s specifically bc ai as a range of practices encompass a lot of things where the user can be slightly more dumb.
You’re spot on in my opinion.
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
So is a speedometer and an altimeter until you reaaaaaaaaly need to understand them.
I mean it all boils down to proper tool with proper knowledge and ability. It’s slightly exacerbated by the apparent simplicity but if you look at it as a tool it’s no different.
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
If you can’t fly a plane chances are you’ll crash it. If you can’t use llms chances are you’ll get shit out of it… outcome of using a tool is directly correlated to one’s ability?
Sound logical enough to me.
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
Yeah well same applies for a lot of tools… I’m not certified for flying a plane and look at me not flying one either… but I’m not shitting on planes…
- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 4 weeks ago:
It’s been doing wonders to help me improve materials I produce so that they fit better to some audiences. Also I can use those to spot missing points / inconsistencies against the ton of documents we have in my shop when writing something. It’s quite useful when using it as a sparing partner so far.

Dude… kids are fucking cows to milk… in Europe we have special protections for them bundled in GDPR because they are sooooooo good targets with soooooo much potential. To give you some food for thought ; Microsoft is pushing their products as soon as schools so that kids are hooked. And they are far from being the worse….
- Comment on PC gamers win the first battle against Valve Corporation as £656m competition claim receives judicial approval 1 month ago:
You’re still talking about steam issued keys right? Why should they not have binding terms over those? Publishers can still issue licenses for their games a whatever cost using other drm systems can’t they? Honestly this reeks of bad faith.

Anyone has a run-down of her actual motives? Ties to the industry or something ? Also someone give them a link to the Nintendo store if they want to see overpriced games…

And what I shared was based on my personal involvement on the topic. As I said somewhere in the thread my expertise is limited to one country in Europe so the legal framework is vastly different but the more human and technological considerations are likely very transferable. And indeed there are criteria for warrants but that would be subject to interpretation at all steps plus not everything goes via warrants. Judge being lenient isn’t also accounting for their own metrics and perspectives. And additionally a whole lot of my personal issues would be related to how data, even when acquired both legitimately and with some regard for ethics, is handled. And that needs to be addressed by police forces and their providers.

But then you need to trust another party which is just moving the problem along…
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 4 months ago:
Ah no I was assuming we need privacy for everyone… but this would work as well. When working in responsible disclosure this is very much a problem. You want those channels open as wide as possible and as easy as possible.
And to a large extent I suspect boomers were a bit more into systems and protocols than the new gens.
But keep on…

You should consider reviewing your baseline to integrate actual persons. Some need help to use WhatsApp so go figure how they would fare with most of those.

Users don’t need to configure email that’s kind of the point… and the receiving side of most of your techs still had to eventually setup the server side right? Adminforge is Linux tutorials, hardly something for the basic user. And disroot has not the best reputation if I can trust the few top links in my search results due to its gtc where they mentioned that they would collaborate in criminal investigations as well.
