  • BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler

  • Non-fediverse social media is designed to be addictive because that's how the people running it make money.

  • Universities have not been in the business if monetizing knowledge for decades, if not centuries.

    Knowledge has been easy to access for a LONG time. Universities give you access to a well constructed curriculum, competent teachers, and a certificate you actually learnt the material somewhat decently.

    American universities are too expensive, yes, but American anything means you pay more and you get less, so singling out universities is missing the forest for a tree (even if arguably one of the biggest of those trees)

  • Threads is nearing X's daily app users, new data shows

    Jump

  • Real life people use Threads !? I guess that speaks more to Twitter's decline than Threads' success that the numbers are getting close...

  • What do you think of procedurally generated dungeons?

  • Amazing when done right like Diablo II or Minecraft !

    TIL the plastic wall plug, used in homes and construction worldwide, was invented by German engineer Artur Fischer in 1958. His simple nylon dowel forever changed how we hang, fix, and build.

  • I'll look for metal ones next time. Getting real tired of everything being plastic these days...

  • Good idea, but we really need to stop shoving plastic everywhere soon.

  • The Steam controller was ahead of its time

  • Maybe it says more about me than about game pass, but even at 5€ a month it would be significantly more money than I spend on games every year.

    Not that I couldn't afford it, but I mostly play games that are at least 5 to 10 years old, either on second-hand physical copies or heavily discounted sales/keyshops. The most recent game I've bought is Elden Ring, even then only recently because I found a cheap physical copy.

  • I've heard of countless people peeing themselves, and 0 bladder explosions, so Occam's razor says that second option has to be very rare if it ever happens.

  • PirateSoftware Leaves OffBrand Games as Stop Killing Games Reaches Goal

  • Blizzard's last good release was Overwatch (2016), which they have subsequently completely ruined (in my opinion) so I wouldn't be proud of having worked there unless it was a long time ago 😅

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • I've heard Flatpaks aren't great at CLI tools, is that true ?

    As a Nix user, I'm glad Flatpaks exist for other people, but I only ever use them when a package is not available from Nix directly. Seeing as Nix is literally the biggest package manager out there, it's a pretty rare occurrence.

  • Scientists Measured a Brain-Bending Version of Time That Shouldn’t Exist

    Study Finds LLMs Biased Against Men in Hiring

    Jump

  • I don't care what bias they do and don't have ; if you use an LLM to select résumés, you don't deserve to hire me. I make my résumé illegible for LLMs on purpose.

    ( But don't follow my advice. I don't actually need a job so I can pull this kinda nonsense and be selective, most people probably can't )

  • Game Pass is the same scam as Netflix was back then, and I'm not falling for it twice.

    Netflix used to be too good to be true as well. 10€ a month for literally everything ! Now they don't even make blu-rays anymore and you spend more time looking up which service has the thing you want to watch than watching it, so people are pirating again.

    I'll stick to physical games and GOG as much as possible.

  • I like gentoo :D

    Jump

  • You can set it up to compile all your software yourself with the exact options you want, just like Gentoo. Not how most people use it, but still, NixOS can fulfill some of the same roles as Gentoo, they are very comparable.

  • Got stuck down a muddy ditch for 10 minutes, slid down multiple times, covered in mud. When I finally made it out, everybody did clap x) it was hilarious, so I bowed.

    Had to throw away my shoes tho 😭
