I swear the UK is like western Europe’s version of Florida. So stupid.

This is just their way of saying they want state sponsored backdoors into all private home networks.

How is this turning into WW3?

It still seems like a relatively small scale war. There’s no big allies for Iran. There’s no attacks on the US beyond military bases and ships really. There’s a global economic impact, but that doesn’t constitute a global war imo.

Could this change? of course, but so could the ukraine war.

I can’t imagine the Iran war’s death count is even remotely close to the genocide in gaza that is still ongoing.

I’d be amazed if they internally do not have objectives to implement the kool aid.

But yeah, of course it’s propaganda. If this bite lands in the right ear of an exec, they can implement this as a metric in their review process.

In latin america, this is basically impossible. This also covers people who message a lot of people in latin america.

They may technically be able to switch, but most of latin america uses things like whatsapp for official communication.

Oh this will be a fun. “Please spend more of our company money, or else we will think you are not doing your job”

it’s so fucking easy to send bogus requests that use tons of processing time. This is the DUMBEST metric i’ve seen in a long, long time. If an employee of theirs uses 500k worth of processing time now, are they better employees? What if someone manages to spend 10 million worth of tokens? 100 million? Performance metrics should be outcome based instead of “how much money did you spend” lol

That’s not the point of this.

The point of this is to remove unpaid/unauthorized bots. They want their engagement figures to look even better, and they don’t want people offering up their advertisements propaganda without paying up.

Their goal will never be to eliminate bots because undoubtedly that is something they want to sell access to and use themselves.

By guaranteeing that certain posts are bona fide humans, their data is more valuable to sell for AI data as well… and they probably have a way to dox users with this too.

There is a very, very short list of games that don’t “just work” in linux at this point.

If your daily gaming is nothing but LoL or twitch competitive shooters and you’ve gotta play whatever the trend is, linux won’t work 100% of the time. In basically any other case, it just works for gaming. If you MUST play some kind of competitive shooter, it’s real easy to have a dual boot setup with windows for that game.

If the competitive shooters you want are supported here, there’s no reason to use windows for gaming. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - Right now the biggest pain points are probably Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, Fortnite… aka the games where the teenagers tell you how they fucked your mom. Many, many other titles just work, like The Finals, ARC Raiders, Counter-Strike 2, etc.

Even with some games that do not have anti-cheat support, you can still run the game, you just have to join servers setup for linux that effectively do not have anticheat enabled. I think real flesh and blood admins do a better job anyway.

I love how google is the answer to questions still despite the enshittification and SEO of google results making it borderline unusable.

Telling people to search for information is so useless. Post a resource or give some answers or meaningfully contribute should be the expectation.

I don’t have an answer OP, just as frustrated as you are though with bullshit replies. AFAIK this game was one of the hyped ones for this year with modern graphics tech, but denuvo definitely takes it off my wishlist (I wouldn’t preorder shit like this anyway…)

This is similar to most places right?

The 1% piggies want more while the starving ~60% of working class and below struggle with the mandatory minimum. Typical ownership controlled dynamic.

I’m not gonna lie, Lutris is fucking terrible. Basic QOL things are missing. There’s so many disjointed ways of doing so many things. The same 2-5 things need to be set every time you add an app and it’s basically all manual because they have done nothing to make it better. There’s thousands and switches and options, and the only way to find information about what they do is to hit the web… and then you find out so many of them are probably useless.

There’s built in install scripts for things but trying to figure out any information about them within the program itself is also useless.

Then there’s the shit that just doesn’t work. Other tools like Heroic Games Launcher are the only way to install games from providers like epic. You can spend hours troubleshooting this in Lutris, and maybe even get an epic game to install and run once… but everything is going to be a broken mess on try 2.

Just a disappointing app all around once you really start working with it. It’s a shame it seems to be the default mode wine app manager.

Yawn marketing puff piece at best.

Benchmarks when?

They’re already paying all the manufacturers for the driver telemetry anyway, probably through third party brokers because everything must be obfuscated.

I think they like having multiple layers of confirmation that way if one is regulated away for some reason like ‘privacy’ or ‘technically anyone could be driving’ then they have fallbacks and legal deniability for the data being inherently flawed.

Whenever I point out the language of linux users being almost exclusively English I get a lot of comments about how that’s racist or something.

Linux is almost all english, a bit of german, a tiny bit of russian, and an extreme minority of other languages. When you filter by english/linux you see a ton more higher end hardware than global results that include countless not-wealthy nations with household incomes under 10k/year, which is most of the world.

The various news sites out there that want to spread their own version of influence and generate their own revenue take this kind of information and use it to see how you click on things, what drives your engagement, what you will go on to share with others, and how you talk about all of it. It’s all tied together.

Big money interests run basically everything in this world. We are just cattle, we will always be just cattle. I’m in countless databases like all of you, and we’re all fucked by the system we think we might some day to cheat our way above the other rats. The noose is tied tight though… there’s not much room left to struggle. It’s too late to escape it. Palantir and Flock are here to close the loop and they aren’t going anywhere, even if the street cameras are likely to be hidden in the future and more tamper proof rather than obvious to the public. Doesn’t matter if the laws change to ban it or you can convince local government to not get involved with it - it’s way too easy to hide cameras with modern technology. Just give it time and your credit score and auto insurance will incorporate flock data ;)

I swear people do not understand the point of what microsoft does.

There isn’t a team tasked with making teams worse. They’re tasked with extracting all possible value out of their product. Part of that value is infromation like where you are, what you’re doing, what you’re talking about, what you search for, what you actually do for your job, who is around you, what they talk about, where they are, what they are doing, what they search for, and what they do for their job and how everyone spends their money.

All of this is incredibly valuable data to governments, businesses and private individuals that want to advertise, suppress dissenting political voices, enhance useful dissenting political voices, and otherwise manipulate global influence.

They just don’t want you to think about declining any permissions, triggering regulatory action, or switching to another platform.

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.

lol, so i’m a nazi because I think human nature is the problem? Phenomenal. Peak .ml right here.

This guy is a moron

So pretend like there’s no problem, just be corrupt.

Hot take. Exactly why the world is where it is today. Human nature baybee

I would just be corrupt like the next guy. FYIGM is quite appealing vs fighting your whole life against a handful of people with vast resources in excess of everyone you have ever met in your entire life, including the billionaire ceos that you might have bumped into that one time.
