You of all people should know how to spell that word correctly.

Yeah. Give them that amount back in game credit so they can make the purchase again.
- Comment on The Global Rise of Low-Quality AI Videos: new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos 2 days ago:
Just stop watching Youtube entirely except for channels you specifically want. The entire thing is a slop platform.
- Comment on GitHub Takes Down Rockchip MPP Repository After FFmpeg Copyright Claim 2 days ago:
And all those licenses rely on copyright and IP law.
- Comment on Emoji blobs or construction vehicles? Help me choose my game's visual identity | 😊 vs 🚜 | 2 days ago:
So you probably want a top-down image of a piece of equipment then? Neither a blob nor an icon.
- Comment on GitHub Takes Down Rockchip MPP Repository After FFmpeg Copyright Claim 2 days ago:
Does this accomplish anything? Was anyone actually relying on this? I’d say the company was just doing it just to publish it, but I’ve known developers who would certainly use the public repo as the primary copy.
- Comment on Emoji blobs or construction vehicles? Help me choose my game's visual identity | 😊 vs 🚜 | 2 days ago:
Depends. How are you defining your art style?
- Comment on Seven Diabetes Patients Die Due to Undisclosed Bug in Abbott's Continuous Glucose Monitors 2 days ago:
Probably not. These products take a long time to develop, and DOGE was only a thing in the last few months.
- Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters 3 days ago:
Depends on the company and the system. Some of them need to be done off-hours while people aren’t using them. Some are HA and/or insignificant enough that you can do them any time without interruption.
- Comment on Question about accessing my services from corporate Network 3 days ago:
I would recommend not exposing a bunch of services to the internet. Ideally you would expose only a VPN and connect to everything that way.
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 3 days ago:
Yeah, generally it does. Maybe just see if there’s a command to turn DIF off? I’ve never had an issue using a SAS drive just like any other. It’s certainly not anything permanent.

Doesn’t seem to be deprived of wrecks at all.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 5 days ago:
For words, it’s pretty good. For code, it often invents a reasonable-sounding function or model name that doesn’t exist.
- Comment on Days after killing the brand, Crucial shows up at Delhi Comic-Con — As Micron pivots to AI, Crucial's presence likely booked out months in advance to event 6 days ago:
It’s an industry event, so they’re showing off to companies, not individuals.

- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
If it’s trained on licensed material, would that be acceptable?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Awards like these are inherently subjective. You don’t have to draw an objective line anywhere.
- Comment on Suggestions for Community Organizing 1 week ago:
What do the people in the development want? Surely you have meetings that people attend.
Go meet them, talk to them in person, find out what they want. Knock on doors if you have to.
Find out what other community groups do that’s successful. Or what this org has done in the past that’s been successful.
Discord might be fun for you, but you’re not doing it for you, you need to meet them where they are.

Direct link: socialwebfoundation.org/…/implementing-encrypted-…
And as you might guess from the actual title, this is about user-to-user messages. I’m not sure how useful this is, because a thoroughly secure implementation is unlikely. A server operator could easily MITM your messages, if you don’t establish trust through a separate trusted channel.

They want to kill privacy for you. Their privacy is a matter of national security.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
It’s still tolerably warm, and there are no other kettles that would be worth switching to right now. I use Firefox and if it ever popped an AI feature at me, I turned it off a long time ago and haven’t thought about it since.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
They are, but that’s only for the search engine thing. Unless Google has a seat on the board.
- Comment on Would this be possible with the fediverse? 1 week ago:
- Comment on How do you healthcheck your containers? 1 week ago:
If I go to its web interface (because everything is a web interface) and it’s down, then I know it has a problem.
I could set up monitoring, but I wouldn’t care enough to fix it until I had free time to use it either.
- Comment on Storytime about a PC not booting and looking for help 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes I’ll bring a keyboard and monitor to the PC, instead of bringing the PC to the monitor. Otherwise I just suck it up. I can’t justify the cost of a pikvm or drop-in ipmi.

It’s probably a typo for replication
