4·1 day agoOooh very accurate. There is some “mandatory” signing sheet for reading the monthly safety info but anyone can edit it and most people are incompetent with computers. Took only 2 months for my name to get deleted by somebody and I just…never signed it again. Nobody noticed.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Which browser do you recommend for a low-resource PC?English
11·1 day agoMaybe something intended for weak hardware and older versions of Windows:
https://github.com/win32ss/supermium
A Linux install with something lightweight like XFCE for desktop environment would do better probably.
The length of the chain link fence segments sadly go against that hope 😅

News@lemmy.world•Bill Gates testifies Epstein pressured him using knowledge of his affairsEnglish
1·2 days agoThere isn’t evidence of paedophilia yet. There are leaked photos of him holding scantily clad women around the waist in the files, so the sex slave rapist part at least is likely to be true. Especially when combined with emails to Epstein about him worrying he gave his then wife an STD and asking how to sneakily cure her of whatever it was, and what his ex wife has said about their divorce.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•What do you have cognitive dissonance about?English
3·2 days agoI would say yes, specifically an existential cognitive dissonance. I simultaneously accept my own mortality logically and resist/reject it emotionally.
Since there’s no evidence of an afterlife and/or gods, I seek advice from fellow atheists on how to make peace with briefly living on this suffering planet which ultimately not only ends in my own total obliteration, but the total obliteration of all life as if it never was. At some point there’s a universe without observers or observation and the rest of time carries on whether it’s infinite heat death or not.
What I get in response is advice basically telling me to delude myself and distract myself. Make my own purpose up! I do make up reasons to go on day to day but I’m not stuck on the day to day coping mechanisms to begin with. Worthless advice. This doesn’t fix the dissonance feeling. It just doesn’t. Apparently it’s just that easy for them though. It should just be second nature is the overall attitude I pick up on repeatedly. Doesn’t work for me. It’s some what similar to the advice people give on how to be confident: self delusion is easier to achieve when you’re a dumbass and pairs best with a personal preference of comforting lies over uncomfortable truths. I fully lack that preference. I’ll drive myself mad with “truth” (as best I can suss it out) before accepting a lie. Also stinks of hypocrisy given that’s the theist’s bread and butter moveset.
So, these thoughts gnaw on me in the back of my head almost ceaselessly when I’m not otherwise distracted or occupied with something. The band-aid is Absurdism. Rebel against the void! I’m not very good at taking up that amusing French spirit either, but it’s the best I got (Even Camus himself agreed it’s an incomplete solution) to excuse my strong programmed survival instincts and not try to overcome them.
How does one audit one’s own areay of cds?
Introspection, self analysis, and honesty go a long way. Not everything has a clean conflict resolution however, as I just described one I don’t think I’ll ever manage to resolve. It’s an extreme example but I’m sure there are many mundane ones too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Considering what can be seen with Mythos 5 and Fable 5, what would happen when any "too smart" LLM get released?English
1·3 days agoIdk beep maybe you’d repost credits redacted comics and get away with it for a little longer next time with your talentless AI edits where you replace the original art with AI slop to ban evade.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How One Media Company Is Fighting Manga’s Major Piracy ProblemEnglish
1·3 days agoThere’s no appropriate compensation for creators of manga, and at the same time, all the publishers, they don’t receive income or revenue because of the piracy issues,” Ugaki said. “Then they cannot allocate enough budget to create the next works or next line of work, so this influences the entire ecosystem of this manga industry.
This frames it like pirates hurt their bottom line which isn’t logically sound given they just acknowledged no official English translation exists for the majority of manga.
That’s where Orange aims to make real change with its digital cross-publisher manga app emaqi, scaling official translations of never-before-available titles in a creator-friendly way.
I’m not installing any DRM data harvester ridden app or paying a subscription. I want a Bandcamp equivalent for digital manga and paper books.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Final Fantasy VII Revelation director says today’s RPGs need more player agency because fans may be satisfied just watching streams - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish
1·4 days agoI do watch streams but that puts me in a minority of people, especially after covid lockdowns ended. Variety gaming live stream channels… the viewership is quite low? Especially real numbers. You’d think the corporations and advertisers would’ve got word about all the egregious view botting going on by now too.

Technology@lemmy.world•400+ Arch Linux AUR Packages Compromised in a Supply Chain Attack Deploying InfostealersEnglish
2·4 days agoI try to not use any, I have 6 and 4 of those are maintained by the developer, not some rando.
One I really dislike is that CachyOS when you install their gaming software bundle…it uses the AUR version of Heroic Games Launcher instead of their own repo and CachyOS does not maintain the Heroic AUR AFAIK. I guess because AUR updates more frequently than their own repo? I think it’s bad practice.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•how do you feel about hv bypasses?English
61·4 days agoThe only way I’d touch a bypass like this is with a sacrificial PC which would never connect to the internet/home LAN ever again. I’d still have to come up with a way to get the files onto it in a safe way after the first game gets run with a bypass.
This lvl 0 stuff can potentially overwrite firmware, so a wiped storage drive isn’t even enough* to be safe as I understand it.
Not very realistic.

I was thinking about:
Server costs, vast increase of bad actors and bots, legal scrutiny, international government narrative manipulation. Overall quality drop from LCD majority who aren’t typically early adopters of any new social platform. Stuff like that.
