  • How to centre a div

    Jump

  • You might not like AI for what it stands or for the negative impact it has on the world, but you can't deny that LLM like we have today are a marvel of technology, an incredibly complex technology that would have felt science fiction just a decade ago.

  • Do you have people that do this?

    Jump

  • I've been wanting to text my best friends for weeks before I had the energy to do so and they did before I could. Felt really loved in that moment.

  • CS:GO 2020 legacy version

    Jump

  • CS:GO is a free game. I was wondering about pirating a game that is 100% online. Are people downloading this only playing against bots? Are there going to be private servers also rolledback to a previous version? I'm just curious

  • Chat Control: EU lawmakers finally agree on the voluntary scanning of your private chats

    Jump

  • I'm sure that requires that both parties agree right? I don't want other people to choose for me if my chats with them are controlled.

    How can this ageee with GDPR?

    Sigh...

  • What's the benefit of this? Cracking an online game that is free anyway

  • What is a celebrated invention/discovery attributed to a single person but, had they not done it at the time, it is likely that someone else would have done it anyway not long after?

    Jump

  • I think this applies to everything. The "geniuses" we praise (Einstein, Newton, Galileo) are not superhumans with access to secret knowledge that only their mind could unlock, they are just very clever and astute individual that studied a lot and figured out things by applying a mix of logic and intuition to information that everybody already had.

    If they didn't exist, someone else would have (likely) eventually come to the same conclusions. Heck maybe someone did years earlier but never told anybody.

  • Calculus methods was independently discovered by Leibnitz and Newton at around the same time, that's why we have different notations for the same thing.

  • Never programmed on the z80, but a common flag in cpus is Zero or Not Zero (nz), that would be set when the result of an operation is not zero (or zero, depends on the architecture)

    For example A = 0 (A being a generic register) would set Z to 1 and NZ to 0, and viceversa for A = 1

  • The median price of best-selling new games on Steam has dropped in the past 2 years, research finds: "Charging >$25 is getting trickier, as players compare value to the $10-$15 indie titles"

    Jump

  • Don't forget that Fallout New Vegas regularly drops below 15$ with all the DLC

  • A blog re-used one of my Reddit posts as a genuine comment on their blog

    Jump

  • Unfortunately that was common even before LLMs. I've ancountered at least half a dozen websites that mirror Stack Overflow questions, along with answers and comments, in a blog-like presentation.

  • How to work on a single hobby for a long time with adhd and without meds?

    Jump

  • Don't compare yourself to others, what works for them doesn't necesserily works for you. Do what you enjoy, try and spend as little as you can so you don't have to worry about abandoning them and regret, and try and not hoard hobbies: if you buy a guitar but didn't play it for 3 years, maybe it's time to sell if and recover some money, if you know you don't care about it. Just try and not feel too bad about it. Hobbies are and should be to enjoy passing times only.

  • to my expierence

    Jump

  • I think because they try so hard to be edgy (eheh) and different from the others, by constantly trashing known tested paradigms, refusing to fix known problems, all whike trying to invent the "brand new thing" that nobody wants and never reallt works out.

  • Not at all. I love Organic Maps/Comaps and I think in many aspects including usability (GM is trash to navigate and drains batteries like hell), it's much better than GM. However, when I want to reach a place I either find the address online, or search on google maps and then navigate to it with a better, lighter, offline, more beautiful app.

    I'm just saying that open source maps usually are heavily lacking on the search functionality, and that's sad but understandable.

  • I don't know much about the topic, but I guess even if that's the case, it's likely most open source projects just don't have contributors knowledgeable or willing to invest the time

  • Modern problems require modern solutions

  • Windows 8 ia older now (13 years) than XP was when 8 came out (11 years). Feel old yet?

    Windows 10 is almost as old (10 years).

    1. Community data like OpenSteeetMap rely on voluntary submissions, so the data can be either obsessive-level complete or non-existent. Especially businesses don't put themselves on OSM so their location/name/info are somewhat old or just don't exist
    2. Search algorithms are incredibly complex to make it work well, Google (the king lf search engines) has likely hundreds of people working on an algorithm, Apple the same way
    3. Offline search is also very taxing even if tue app implemented such algorithms, google maps searches with their billion dollars servers

  • Pot crashing out the kettle

    Jump

  • I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like "fat guy funny" or "gay guy effemminate" that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

    Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

    And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry's mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

    However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I'm pulling out the "kids these days card", but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don't know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I'm convinced it reduces people's happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

  • Take the plea deal

    Jump

  • If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and throw him under the bus, so someone else will take power.

  • That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles
