⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New World will stop receiving updates following Amazon layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
I knew that this game was overhyped and its life would be limited, but now is the time to try to preserve this game as much as possible ahead of shutdown date.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, and in some places especially small towns, it is for some people, since it’s the main hangout spot (3rd place) in town.

Though I don’t think young people do that as much, “regulars” tend to mean 1-3 times a week. My university had a bar that had a “ritual” where Friday afternoons it would be a completely full house.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would I buy this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
With CoD BO3 extensive ability to be modded and workshop support, it could be theoretically possible.

Well, uh, try training your AI with the lessons learned, and hope it doesn’t instantly pretend it never happened the very next day.

The one value proposition for juniors is that though they screw up a lot, they learn by screwing up. High turnover and curtailing your junior experience using AI are major technical mistakes on management’s part.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If websites are slow for you, this is why, AWS is breaking everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It really shows what a great life that we on the Fediverse are living, by making our tech independent to a degree from the largest tech providers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alibaba Cloud says it cut Nvidia AI GPU use by 82% with new pooling system— up to 9x increase in output lets 213 GPUs perform like 1,192⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I do expect operational savings from this optimization, but my guesstimate would be a 2-5x savings rather than the reported 9x savings when looked at over a fixed time period.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alibaba Cloud says it cut Nvidia AI GPU use by 82% with new pooling system— up to 9x increase in output lets 213 GPUs perform like 1,192⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It should be noted, how much will that affect the lifespan of those GPUs running double-dutyx8?

AI’s still replaceable but it will emulate human-like burnout.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Welcome back, I’ve been here the whole time and currently it seems a bit more toxic and hostile than when RIF shut down, I feel there are a couple more contrarians now than before but it hasn’t been a steady decline. There has always been the odd jerk and troll on this site. I would say the time Lemmy was most wholesome when !cat@lemmy.world flooded the front page with black cats, it was such a cute problem for us to have. Anyone else remember that?

Like others I’d say it’s cyclical month to month. This year there’s daily doom in the news with US politics. If you want to avoid that then block !news@lemmy.world, !politics@world, !usa@midwest.social, and other news and politics if it fills up with Trump posts. 2024 was a lot more hopeful and I think that reflected in the average user’s demeanor even if there was bothsidesism, Gaza stuff, Ukraine stuff and Trumpism stuff. You’ll be informed of important developments as Trump stuff leaks out on occasion but you don’t need to be constantly engaged.

Also: If you see a crapton of comments on a post with low votes then you know best to turn and run from the thread where most of the comments are.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. My current one is an EIE pro that came with my guitar second hand. The linux “driver” only sort of works.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you want to delay your switch to Linux, there are scripts to enroll in the ESU, but unfortunately the local account script stopped working a week ago. Or get Win 10 LTSC, or keep your system disconnected from the Internet.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The penalty of doing it wrong needs to be higher than the cost of doing jt right.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t get it? Why can’t car companies just release software updates that get deployed with the regular service interval, like once every year or two? That way the repair service or dealership will be close by if problems arise.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threadiverse... on ATProto?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
On the topic of ‘hills to die on’, I will say I have gained a significant respect for you over the last 2 years, for sticking to your principles on this and following through on them.

We might disagree on the best way to do things. I’d witnesed you in the past receiving a lot of pushback (to put it lightly) for a well-intentioned but controversially implemented project (the whole Reddit mirroring and account claiming thing you tried). If I had been in your shoes at the time, I would probably have quit Lemmy and the Fediverse entirely for something else in order to try to pursue that vision. Yet, you’ve stayed with it, with the aim to refine your ideas on how to better bring decentralized social media to the general public. So kudos to you for your resoluteness on this.

Hooray for cancer, asthma and bronchitis! Make America Healthy Again. Lung health is like Karate – black is the best!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great games you would recommend from before 1990?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
- Atari Paperboy (there were various ports but the arcade version is the best one IMO). It’s fun, unique with no real successor (more are like Frogger).
- Ghosts n Goblins, the 1985 original (there are modern instalments but I think the original is just as fun).

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Punch Time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Oh yeah you are right… let me edit it
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Punch Time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I will transliterate where I want to preserve the original context of words. Otherwise I generally just go for stage 3 to get the gist of what a writer or speaker means, and usually it’s a combination of the two, I don’t try to use different idioms.

So “I’ll punch your lights out” might likely become “I’ll beat you so that the lights in your eyes go out” if I were to translate to Japanese (transliterated back).

It’s a neat way to show how each person translating has their own style. (And how Japanese news and diplomatic translators have had a rough time with Trump, forced to sanewash a lot).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
One could imagine that conveniently, Microsoft’s online support pages and the support staff were designed to only handle hundreds of thousands of cancelations at a time.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I consider trust a network, where you are the root CA (certificate authority) or like a tree where you are the trunk, with a locus of control. You have to figure out where your ground truth comes from and re-establish if it if you can’t locate it, whether it’s your upbringing, your life experiences, your family, the books you’ve read or the shows you’ve watched, where you’ve been or the friends you have/had.

Everybody sees the world at least a little bit differently, so you have to kinda figure out where they get their beliefs from and try to connect on the common points while also respectfully figuring out where and why there are differences.

So as just a random internet person I can only recommend two things:
- Ignore most stuff coming from influencers and people that change their principles willy-nilly to suit themselves or chase every fad, there’s very little for you to gain from that.
- If you get stressed or panicked thinking about the chaos of the whole world, slow down, step back, remember the locus of control, think about the things you want to change, can change and can’t change and take the first step of action from amongst the things you have direct control over, and worry less about trying to do anything more than your best to make the situation better.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reuters: US could hit entire International Criminal Court with sanctions soon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

The court is also seeking alternative suppliers for banking services and software, three sources said.

Now is a better time than ever for any foreign entity to move off of US-based banking and digital services. The US government can order you locked out of services you paid for, for any arbitrary reason.

It’s energy that is basically “free” with no artificial inputs needed and only a little bit of maintenance! More and more it becomes practically a no brainer compared to fossil fuel.
