  • The big problem with DNS-based ad-blocking is that it doesn't prevent redirects. Sure, you'll get redirected to a harmless blank page, but then you need to go back to the previous page. You don't have that issue with uBlock.

  • Sorry Ubisoft

    Jump

  • Not to be that guy who defends Ubisoft (God knows I haven't bought one of their games in ages), but that quote from the CEO is taken way out of context.

    He was directly asked what would need to happen for game streaming to take off, and he responded with "players would need to get used to no longer owning their games", which is pretty much true as far as answers to that question go.

  • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

    Jump

  • That’s not Amazon’s fault.

    That’s mostly the fault of consumers who buy from Amazon (and other e-tailors).

    There's quite a few retail stores that don't keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren't in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.

    The problem is that those same retail stores can't compete with Amazon's shipping speed. It becomes a case of:

    • I want to buy a thing, I need it fast, so I guess I'll check my local retails stores
    • My local retail stores don't have it in stock, but I can order it and it'll be there in 4-5 days
    • I can just buy it off of Amazon at a comparable price, and have it tomorrow

    It's alright if they don't want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there's no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.

  • Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s Prez Biden and VP Harris Killing ‘Joke’

    Jump

  • Do you think it takes a brilliant mind to come up with that basic-ass mob bullshit?

    I feel like you're misunderstanding what I'm saying in, like, an extreme way.

    I'm absolutely not saying that Elon is some kind of mastermind. But there are people who legitimately are buying his bullshit. I'm explicitly pointing out that it is bullshit, and that the dude did not "just make a dumb joke without realizing the implications".

  • Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s Prez Biden and VP Harris Killing ‘Joke’

    Jump

  • You’re talking about two different things here.

    I'm really not. This very thread is full of comments acting like Elon is a moron for making his stupid "joke", literally playing into his hand. As @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world said, he's doing the "turbulent priest" thing.

  • Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s Prez Biden and VP Harris Killing ‘Joke’

    Jump

  • I still don't understand how anyone here (or on the internet in general, for that matter) is still asking "Is Elon stupid? Is he a moron?" in response to stuff like this.

    Elon's a jackass, but he clearly knows what he's doing with this. He's inciting political violence and then acting like it was an edgy joke as a way to give himself probable deniability. Dude's an asshole, but he's not literally brain dead.

  • Facebook admits to scraping every Australian adult user's public photos and posts to train AI, with no opt-out option

    Jump

  • I was having this discussion with a coworker after Apple's event where they talked about their image scanning AI. Like, if someone takes a picture of me, and sends it to the AI's servers, they'll use it as training data, but I haven't consented to it. So how does taking it down work?

    It's obviously a rhetorical question. They obviously won't, and they'll tell me to pound sand.

  • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

    Jump

  • In this case, it seems like it's the app makers themselves who are requiring the Play Store, though. Unless I'm misreading this, the developers are using the Integrity API to determine if the app was installed through "official channels" (in this case, the Play Store). Feels like people should be upset at the companies behind the apps, here.

  • The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates

  • Keep in my that "ingredients to a recipe" here refers to the literal physical ingredients, based on the context of the OP (where a sandwich shop owner can't afford to pay for their cheese).

    While you can't copyright a recipe, you can patent the ingredients themselves, especially if you had a hand in doing R&D to create it. See PepsiCo sues four Indian farmers for using its patented Lay's potatoes.

  • Congress asks Mark Zuckerberg to explain why drug dealers are advertising on Facebook and Instagram

  • Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.

    Right. Into Cryo-Sleep you go, then!

  • You’re the one that decided an entire culture of thinking, feeling people are born objectively evil and can be killed en masse. And that’s fucked up.

    I think that's where the issue falls apart. You want them to be thinking feeling people who can change. They don't have to be. If an evil deity creates Goblins, and makes them evil for whatever reason, they can inherently lack the ability to freely think and evolve.

    And there's nothing "fucked up" about it.

    Look at some villains who are just objectively evil. People point-out the Adventure Time Lich all the time, and that thing is just evil. There's no point trying to argue with it. No point trying to convince it to right its wrongs. It doesn't care, because it's just evil.

  • Why should a group defined by plundering travelers be more acceptable than a group defined by being short with green skin?

    Because in a fantasy world, where we can know for 100% certainty that gods created life, it's not impossible for those gods to have made a certain creature type objectively evil.

    In some settings, Orcs are the way they are because their god is the last one to pick a place for them to live, gets pissy, and decides that "Fuck you guys! If that's how you want to play it, my orcs are going to plunder the shit out of your guys' lands!"

    In other settings, there has to be some kind of cosmic balance to things, and some gods are just evil because there has to be a natural counterpart to good, and so the creatures they create are just inherently evil.

    I think the issue is with this kind of debate is that that it's referred to as "race". We don't really have a one-for-one on this IRL (because Goblins don't exist) and we don't refer to animals as "different races".

  • Depends on the features.

    Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.

    Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined "git blame" outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain's merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

    the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use

    I'm going to be honest, I don't really like VS Code's Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.
