Industry growth. Turns out it’s a lot easier to “think of the children” when the industry is small and niche than it is when it’s making investors billions of dollars a year. Turns out capitalism makes problems harder to solve once the problem itself makes money (see also: tax preparation)

That’s also why the moral panic people switched from trying to censor games through government to trying to do it via finance (e.g. Collective Shout lobbying banks, credit cards, and payment processors).

Though if your question is about why the contrast between moral panic over game content and the lack of moral panic over actual victimization — I think that’s always been the case, unfortunately. People seem more fearful of their children losing their morals than they are of people with no morals harming their children.

Methane is just the primary compound in natural gas.

Some, as prepping the carbon and hydrogen will take energy. But it wouldn’t be hard to be way better than the emissions associated with dairy farming for butter. Cost could still be higher, though depending on how much material is needed for the process.

Is TwinAphex still involved in Libretro? Can’t seem to find evidence of them from the last few years.

The founder is a well-known Christian “pro-life feminist” from Australia.

It’s easy enough to fork the code as it existed under GPL3. Violentmonkey did that when they forked from Tampermonkey.

This dev also doesn’t sound like he wants to put much effort into enforcing his license in the first place.

High likelihood this just some AI bot with no oversight fucking up than something malicious. Outlook.com’s support system is atrocious and devoid of humans at this point unless you’re an enterprise.

I tried to go through their support to tell them their junk filter was fucking up (bank alerts being marked as junk with no way to override) and got nowhere after like two months. Had to change the email I use for banking.

Very little gaming still requires Windows since the development of Proton. The main compatibility problems that remain seem to involve kernel-invasive anti-cheat systems.

They know. The PKGBUILD they provided is exactly the kind of thing that’s in the AUR. The dev’s PKGBUILD wasn’t in the AUR because they didn’t want it to be — instead hoping arch users would go to the repository and use their maintained one. Arch users continued to try to use AUR instead, leading to the dev’s frustration.

I don’t expect this will help anything. If the AUR maintainer is active, they will probably just patch that restriction out.

With how expensive AI seems to be, it’s baffling to me how companies expect to turn a profit on it. 30B a year sounds more like the budget for an entire government scientific agency. And if that’s just for the data services…

Swipe typing (and word suggestions) are on the roadmap for Florisboard 0.6 I believe (EDIT: Swipe typing is mapped for 0.7). Though, they were also on the roadmap for 0.5 until recently…

Florisboard used to have swipe typing, but it just wasn’t really useful without a working suggestion engine, so it’s been disabled.

On a side note, 1 Terapixel is just crazy. A square with 1 million pixels has this number of pixels. So, about 1000 of 1080p will fit into this square vertically and about 500 horizontally. How has such eyes to see this all pixel perfectly?

If you zoom in on it (a pretty common thing to do with pictures) enough, most people.

I mean c-suite jobs (particularly CEO), are usually primarily about information coordination and decision-making (company steering). That’s exactly what AI has been designed to do for decades (make decisions based on inputs and rulesets). The recent advancements mean they can train off real CEO decisions. The meetings and negotiation part of being a c-suite (the human-facing stuff) might be the hardest part of the job for AI to replicate.

It’s gotta be a peer pressure thing, diplomatically, to work. The countries taking the biggest steps need to be loud about it so the ones dragging their feet (hi from the US) get their pride hurt if they don’t take action. The ozone hole fix worked that way too (though of course that didn’t have major political powers denying it was a problem).

The irony is that AI will probably be able to do the jobs of the c-suite before a lot of the jobs down the ladder.

Even centrally signing every app doesn’t justify a fee. There’s virtually no cost in doing so. Mozilla does it for all Firefox extensions just fine.

Not completely official, no. Mozilla may help with it, but since it doesn’t carry the Firefox branding, and isn’t built by Mozilla, it’s not entirely official.

An example of this in practice is Firefox addons. You need to get your extension signed for people to install it, but you can distribute it however. Mozilla of course doesn’t charge for signing though. It’s just to give them the ability to ban an extension found to be malicious.

It’s more complete on Firefox for Android than it is for desktop.

Assuming you’re talking about Android, there’s been some early work done on this recently, I’ve noticed.
