  • Suffering is Real. AI Consciousness is Not.

    Jump

  • Is your consciousness real? How do we measure this? How do you know you're not just a sufficiently advanced AI in a sandbox?

  • Social media users grapple with anti-LGBTQIA+ policy changes.

    Jump

  • Return the internet to its glory days of no rules anywhere, imho. Get rid of the crybullies in every corner of the internet by harassing them out of existence. Learn to shitpost with the rest of us.

  • Discord requiring you to add a phone number after the creation of your account

    Jump

  • Again - which isn't required. You don't have to supply your phone number.

  • Discord requiring you to add a phone number after the creation of your account

    Jump

  • I don't think many people know about sim-swap attacks, so they think people knowing their phone number is fine.

    Honestly I wish people would just fucking get rid of phone-number-based OTP anyways. TOTP is where it's at.

  • Discord requiring you to add a phone number after the creation of your account

    Jump

  • This is or was part of their anti-spam/flooding protection. In the server admin dashboard, you can require a phone number on the account or you can disable it and allow users without verified phone numbers to participate.

    They do not require this just for a discord account last I checked. It's likely due to whatever discord server you're trying to join.

    Same for Twitch. Same for a Microsoft account. It's become the new normal.

  • So, is the USA screwed?

    Jump

  • To be fair, decades to destroy. This has been slowly culminating since before I was even born. Maybe before my parents were born.

  • So, is the USA screwed?

    Jump

  • Occupy was infiltrated by our government by people meant to destroy it from the inside. They incited people and then arrested them for it. This isn't something that simply died off, they've mastered being able to co-opt an idea, push it the way they want, propagandize FUD around it, and then make it disappear.

  • CodeWeavers Hiring More Developers To Work On Wine & Valve's Proton

    Jump

  • imho, who the fuck cares? How did we even get on this topic in the first damn place? Nobody mentioned it until the guy bitching mentioned it.

    Constantly obsessing over the way things are worded is a game for crybullies who perpetually play victim so they can feel righteous about themselves. PCMR all the way.

  • CodeWeavers Hiring More Developers To Work On Wine & Valve's Proton

    Jump

  • This must be the most horrid type of programming work available.

    First: You have to deal with Win32 APIs. Which, they've kept certain bugs because it break legacy programs.

    Second: You have to deal with game programmers. Which, program things in such a way that GPU driver programmers, have to write SPECIAL drivers, so that your game is treated the way these programmers THOUGHT it was supposed to work...

  • Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it?

    Jump

  • Honestly Arch is fine as a beginner distro for the right person - The benefit of arch is the rolling release model and the fact that it's closer to edge than other distros. No; I don't want to use that package that's 6 months out of date -- Compile it myself? Well, then why would I run a 'stable' distro then?

    Someone being on Linux instead of Windows is enough of a win for me. I'm going to praise whatever way they want to approach it, none of this purism shit.

    Likewise, SteamOS is based on Arch because of the way it's architected in the first place. It's fine to want that. Now...if this were Gentoo on the other hand...

  • Joke's on them, I get all my books from Z-Library anyhow.

  • US TikTok ban linked to pro-Palestine content rather than China threat, insiders reveal

    Jump

  • Thank you! I've been saying this since forever, and all I ever got was (in a shorter form) "Antisemite doesn't include those people anymore, it's only for the jewish people".

    Like hell it is! Israel is the biggest antisemite nation of them all.

  • Which state is the puppet? Because it seems like it's America at this point.

  • Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills

    Jump

  • You're right it's not the same thing as critical thinking, but it is a skill we've lost. How many skills have we lost throughout history due to machines and manufacturing?

    This is the same tale over and over again - these people weren't using critical thinking to begin with if they were trusting a prediction engine with their tasks.

  • Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills

    Jump

  • How many phone numbers do you know off of the top of your head?

    In the 90s, my mother could rattle off 20 or more.

    But they're all in her phone now. Are luddites going to start abandoning phones because they're losing the ability to remember phone numbers? No, of course not.

    Either way, these fancy prediction engines have better critical thinking skills than most of the flesh and bone people I meet every day to begin with. The world might actually be smarter on average if they didn't open their mouths.

  • What y'all talking about?

    Jump

  • I think Windows 7 was the last version that wasn't there for the purposes of advertising and collecting data in the effort to achieve recurring revenue.

    Legitimately Microsoft was trying to make it a better product until Windows 10. 10 was a better product on accident, but it's also where they started sliding down that slope...

  • PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well.

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I've seen my fair share of it. People here pretend that they're only calling these huge incidences Nazis, but you're exactly right. All you have to do is move a little out of line, and you're eaten by your own.

  • Power company oursourced their payments. Every method except autopay now has a fee

  • Pay all of your bills in person in pennies from now on.
