So they made an intentionally bad chess agent? That also already exists.

Scientists are spending time and money to torture mice simply for fun with no practical use? Sounds very believable

So Windows 10 LTSC isn’t affected by this?

Abstracting “meth users” to “drug users” is hell of a leap.
- Comment on Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats 3 weeks ago:
No need for evidence. The idea of anyone being able to claim anything about a person without proof is inherently flawed. Are you saying that the app has some magical feature which forces everyone to tell the truth? No disgruntled ex can make up things about their previous partner? I would love to see you prove that.

Would you believe me if I told you some systems are used for other things than what’s intended?
- Comment on Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats 3 weeks ago:
Arguing that tea was for “telling on predatory dudes” is like saying backdooring encryption is to catch people spreading CP.
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 4 weeks ago:
Sounds good to me! With no mention of having to limit our internet usage.
You don’t have the power to decarbonize all electricity or to create and enforce laws to reduce the rate of e-waste. Until this changes, you have the power to limit your bandwidth usage, which is something that would result in less e-waste and less energy usage (and inherently less carbon emissions since all electricity isn’t decarbonized). You’re essentially saying “the paper says you can fix the problem in the future so I don’t give a fuck about the problem now”, which is not very bright.
And if reducing bandwidth waste really were that important, it would have go both ways anyway, with the providers optimising their content (probably forced to do so by regulations in some way).
My god. This might be the most naive thing I’ve ever read. This would be like saying “if carbon emissions were really that bad, oil and coal would be illegal”. Guess what? The climate will be (and has already been) irreversibly damaged if we don’t drastically reduce the amount of carbon fuel being used and no regulations have successfully come close to getting the necessary drastic reduction. Turns out everything that’s bad doesn’t magically get solved by regulations, especially when rich companies which rely on e.g. carbon fuel and bandwidth have major influence over politics due to their massive amount of resources.

Saying 4channers suck is very similar to saying Lemmy users suck. Depends on board and instance respectively.

Truly impressive how little america cares about its citizens.
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 4 weeks ago:
You do realize that it’s harder to move to renewables if the energy required keeps increasing? Higher bandwidth usage requires expansion of internet infrastructure to account for peak usage which increases the amount of energy used, not only for the manufactured hardware (which will likely turn to e-waste at some point) but also to keep the infrastructure running. I highly recommend reading research about the sustainability of the internet.
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 4 weeks ago:
Youtube and tiktok are video platforms (instagram turned into one some years after creation). Telling them to stop having videos is equivalent to saying they should cease to exist. Spotify is a music streaming platform. Telling them to stop having videos has a minimal impact on their business model, which is evident by the fact that Spotify was widely successful before they started including videos.

When you want to do violence but it’s generally frowned upon so you have to find a way to justify it
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
Either way you interpret it, there’s no constructive intention. Simply saying it and not elaborating is an insult, a personal attack or whatever you want to call it.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
You forgot the most important part: no ad revenue from text posts on youtube.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
What is a text post if not written content? You can’t even write properly, I don’t trust you as an authority on what is written content or not.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
No. Vaguely implying that someone has a problem is very much a personal attack. I understand that you’re upset by my opinions but how about you cry me a river?
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
So there’s some magical limitation which only lets him make videos? He’s doomed to solely create videos and if he as much as thinks about writing a blog post, he gets struck by lightning or something? What an interesting phenomenon.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
Going for personal attacks when you cannot think of a response? Peak intellect.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
Yes, you can. Ignorant prick.

I don’t believe that you’ve read a book in your entire life if you consider automatic transcriptions to be comparable to actual written text.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
I see it all the time. Maybe your creators don’t care about the feature? Also, you can simply use the description of the video. Of course, this means less ad watch time so obviously not happening.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
Automatic transcripts are not comparable to intentionally written text. Are you actually serious?
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 weeks ago:
Watching/listening to a recording is faster than reading something.
That’s just wrong.
I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.
Why post it to youtube in that case? If you’re watching a video where the only the audio is relevant, why the fuck is it a video?
