This particular flavour of smugness is endemic to the tech industry. The field is economically prominent so those successful within the field (read: have written popular software) think of themselves as generally wise and intelligent because of the outsized money and attention these people get than someome with, say, a degree in Physics.

It is a fight between two somethings (people, groups, etc.). This post is impersonating someone and trying to make them look bad.

You can use the book Ten Myths About Israel if you wanna supplement your points. Or if they read books you can ask them to read it themselves. It is written in an easy to understand style.

The cool thing is that many of the emails in the database used their primary email to sign up, some used the same ones as their linkedin profile. So a bunch of these are gonna lose their jobs.

Have Khan and FTC done anything of note? Not being snide. But big oligopolies remain big. Maybe they stopped them from concentrating capital even more?

Want to prepare myself for the next game I play. I really like the idea of maxing as many social links as I can. There are guides for this but I like to navigate these waters on my own.

Between doing the story dungeons, cultivating stats and advancing social links, is there a general advice on how to go about it?

For example, one thing I get really anxious about is trying to complete a dungeon if it is available in one day, since in the games I have seen it takes up both the day and evening activity slots.

Any advice for this? Thanks.

This is what they literally say on reddit. Often when there is discussion about the unsafe situation of women, they weigh the options between the status quo and Chinese authoritarianism.

No. They have a bot which first makes accounts on random fediverse microblogging platformsz then they spam posts where they tag a random small subset from a very large list of fediverse accounts known to them. Lemmy communities appear as users on these platforms, so whenever they tag an account of our community we see their post here. It is pretty bizarre really.

Japanese spam (lemmygrad.ml)

There is some Japanese spam that we are being affected with. Some of you might have noticed.

I have set up automated removal for it. Please report if you see a spam post that is 2 minutes old or more.

We are not sure what the point of this spam is but if it is anything like the last time it is probably an outcome of a fight somewhere in the Japanese fediverse. Not sure over what though.

Techbros are irredeemable shitbags. I saw one such shitbag on lobste.rs downplaying the energy cost by saying that one inference ONLY takes as much energy as a lightbulb does in one hour.

Right before mother gaia swallows us whole for being bad children to her I would like to drive stake through the hearts of a bunch of such monsters.

Microshit wants a nuclear power plant to power its upcoming datacenter. I think this is the endgame of the ridiculous things capital does in its lust for money.

Here in India, media is a tool of the fascists. I am ashamed to say it but the concept of journalistic standards is alien to the audience here. The media literally parrots the IOF line, to such a degree of precision that makes me think that I underestimated the sheer evil that can exist in the heart of human beings.

But India is a kind of a special case in the Global South, since its an Islamophobic Hindu fascist state and the preposterous IOF talking points slot well with the racist talking points.

But I am wondering what the situation is like everywhere else. Please fill me in.

All public torrents I have found are dead. Anyone knows a place where I can find this movie in decent quality? (At least 1080p.) Thanks.

Anyone tried it? Thoughts?

spoilerLooks like it is gonna be your typical Persona type game with element based turn based combat and social links. Don't mind that though. Always welcome fresh Persona slop.

There are some mechanic changes which seem nice.

The game kinda turns the concept of fantasy around where the protag holds dear a fantasy book, but the fantasy is essentially a story of our (human) world. And the powerful boss monsters in the game are called humans. Personally I don't like this. I find it a bit immersion breaking. But maybe it will grow on me.

And yeah the performance on my laptop feels a bit lacking. Only a gtx 1650 and i5 processor but the game cannot consistently maintain 60 on low or intermediate graphics. I will try it on PS5 later and see if it runs well.

I downloaded it a few days ago. My first impression is good so far. I don't like strategy games because of monke brain but with this one I've been having fun.

The battle system is novel as far as I know. At first I was a bit disappointed that you don't get to control individual characters but I've grown to like the system since then. I am playing on "tactical" difficulty and I retried the first battle three times to get it "right".

It has the usual JRPG (a little bit nauseating) pro-monarchy premise which TBH I don't mind in fantasy settings, but it feels tired and uncreative. But I have been able to look past that because the rest of the game is fine. The animations look really nice without needing much sophistication. The English voice acting was a bit cringe so I switched to the Japanese one.

I don't know if the game will be able to grab me till the end (unlikely because of commitment issues) but it is a nice surprise to be sure.

News article: https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/news/google-backed-dotpe-s-apis-expose-sensitive-data/ar-AA1ra3xx

This startup provides a shitty digital menu for restaurants. You scan a qr code that takes you to a terrible website where you submit your order. Once its ready the waiter brings it to you.

Someone opened their ordering webpage on a PC and looked at the API calls being made using their browser's dev tools. Turns out the entire API is public. This person was able to order on behalf of another table and view records of all the sales that took place at the restaurant.

The funniest thing is, instead of disclosing this to DotPe, the person instead wrote a blog post and posted it on Hacker News for the updoots. While describing this situation as a "vulnerability" feels extremely charitable, I think he should have covered his bases to avoid lawsuits.

Truly a conundrum. Us Westerners are just sitting with our hands folded as large swathes of Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya and Palestine have been rendered uninhabitable over the last half century for reasons unknown to man. The white man's is truly a heavy burden to bear.

Yesterday I accidentally wiped my Firefox profile. Upon creating a new one I was hit with the realisation of just how many shit defaults Firefox has. This made me consider using a fork which un-enshittifies Firefox.

There is only one that I know of, LibreWolf. Thankfully it seems actively maintained. So on Windows I have started using that for now. On Linux I still use Firefox because the enlightened repository maintainers don't allow any Firefox/Chromium forks and I don't wanna use Flatpak or pacakge it myself.

Are there any other forks worth considering?
