This has existed since the 2010s, the patent should never even have been granted to Meta.

Do not give in. If you can’t play it on your machine, do not play it. There are other games, and if all else fails, other hobbies that do respect you.

I can touch type QWERTY, but I struggle on laptop keyboards because it’s easy to lose your position.

I have a Glove80 keyboard on my desktop, it’s very easy to stay put since the keyboard is made exactly so your hands are on the home row.

For-profit companies cannot be relied on for this kinda thing (for anything at all). TeamSpeak is good now, maybe, but there’s nothing actually protecting it from turning to shit the very instant management changes.

has a very mild run-in with one singular community’s admin “That’s it, I’m done with the entire platform !”

Maybe “American Food” should stop pretending to be from somewhere else, then we would respect (some of) it.

AI Bros were really like “Reddit is one of our very few sources of usable data. What if we poisoned it too ? 🤪”

Way to go guys ! Have fun with your degenerate data sets, and the resulting consanguine models that are 100% unusable as a result 😘

To be fair, avocado toast is an actual scam and can be made home for cheap, while rotisserie chicken is legitimately expensive rn no matter how you get it.

But also, it’s still a lie. None of us that aren’t rich douchebags are “splurging” on food 😂

While this is BS, rotisserie chicken is unfortunately actually a splurge nowadays 😅

I am very glad to be vegan, even if you only consider the money aspect, the savings are absolutely worth it 😂

Excellent news ! I have been preaching the good word of Codeberg for months, delighted to see it’s working.

If I can get NixOS to move, I will be the happiest gal in the world…

Comment sections removed ? That should be a feature !

I had an extension that removed those, amongst other things, but that part broke. Most video comments on YouTube are incredibly stupid, I’d rather just not have to see them.

Honestly if you want to try it on Firefox, they have a few options built-in for alternative DNS !

And I feel your pain, my CS bachelor’s had like 0 courses on Networking, fortunately my current Engineering degree courses have great stuff available, so I’m finally catching up !

Break any pair you see out in public. Don’t assault the user, only break their glasses !

As the article says : a C compiler without assembler nor linker is a very standard undergraduate project.

Good students are supposed to be able to do it alone, average students in groups of around 4.

So for AI that’s supposedly “PhD level in everything” ; this shouldn’t be considered that impressive, even less so with 16 of them on the case…

Seems like even they know their claims are super overstated.

That has existed since the early 2010s. This patent should have been rejected on the grounds that it is insufficiently innovative.

(To say nothing of the idiocy of the idea. Patents aren’t concerned whether your ideas are idiotic or not, just whether they’re new enough that you deserve credit for them)

Ditch Google Play !

You can use Obtainium and F-Droid to install apps as directly from the Developer as possible.

You can use Aurora Store to get things from the App Store anonymously.

If you want, you can install /e/os (any phone) or GrapheneOS (Pixels only) to de-google your Android as much as possible !

Being European, I had the choice to live in a city that is very friendly to bikes, pedestrians, and has very good public transit. I also deliberately chose an apartment that was so close to my university it’s trivial to go there in the morning, and I have access to a wide transit network if I need to go further.

Honestly, if I lived somewhere car dependent, I think I would just bite the bullet and drive until I can move somewhere better. This is a pretty bad answer but I don’t know what else to say.

I would probably try to get a cheap and reliable electric car to save as much as possible on maintenance costs.

“Notorious fool joins band of other notorious fools”

The problem of course is that, bad as it may be to think this way, people (including me !) absolutely do think this way by default, unless consciously making the effort not to.

Maybe this can be deconstructed, but until then we need a good dose of “Realpolitik” that takes those biases into account, at least if we want to achieve anything concrete.

There is some truth to the “us vs them” between elites and the people, and the current elite is (somehow) very good at making a big part of the people they oppress think that “actually, you’re part of the elite too !”

There are alternate providers, like Cloud9 or Mullvad !
