I think samsung or android does this. I noticed that my tablet at night will randomly be paused on a black screen and when I wake it it’ll be paused on a video around 5 or 10 minutes after I fell asleep, it’s creepy but I guess it helps me not miss my youtube videos

I would actually prefer that 90% of the time. I hate having to watch TV with someone else, I either miss what’s on it or feel awkward when I have to rewind, then people have this warped perception that I care what they are trying to tell me as if it’s not obvious I’m watching something on the TV so my focus is elsewhere.

My usage of a TV in the common room is when I’m feeling social or want to have whitenoise, any serious watching is strictly in my den or bedroom

I do not have a “TV” in my bedroom but I do have a tablet that I use for videos at night I like falling asleep listening to YouTube or twitch

I don’t believe they do. I’m pretty sure since its a soft fork and still has firefox as an upstream, that they would need the permission of any contributor that had agreed to the MPL license, and that would include the Mozilla project, and it’s very unlikely that Mozilla would agree to that.

Oh, I fully understand that. But the everyday person isn’t going to affect the government to the extent where they want to not only issue a court order ordering a company to do this, but also issue a gag order to prevent the company from saying anything.

Political leaders, possibly. Terrorist organizers, definitely. But your typical protest, or right versus left debate, that’s not going to be enough for them to bother, let alone a court order forcing it.

I don’t think their intent is to have you go buy a PS5, I think their bigger intent is preventing it on Xbox hardware.

I think Xbox’s claims that all PC games will be available on the new system is a big reason for them to not allow it on PC, they have been a firm “We don’t want this on Xbox”, and they can’t uphold that with Project Helix’s claims that it runs PC games.

Is it safe enough to use vpns based out of the US?

yes, just be aware that the gov could require the company to log you without letting you know, even if they have a no log setup. For the everyday person this is a non-issue, but if you are doing shadey stuff or have ties that may make someone super interested in your activities, you may wanna choose elsewhere.

they don’t allow port forwarding which nerfs the effectiveness of seeding, seeding is still possible, just not as effective.

I agree with that, but I have noticed some topic areas have more hostility than others!

the users don’t start insulting you when you ask a perfectly legitimate question

I dont know about that one chief, on lemmy it defo depends on the question/topic Ive noticed lol

I read this as they learned it was far too difficult to moderate /all and that the easier thing corporate wise was just remove it.

“It’s not great”

I don’t know what you are talking about. That’s about as dog as I’ve ever seen.

If the bug was actually legitimate, and was verified, I don’t think its a good idea to just wait till someone actually experiences it.

Of course this depends on the severity of the bug as well. In the case of this article, he was refusing to submit anything until he actually verified it, but he defo was using the AI as a origin of discovery.

I would prefer those types of reports over blanket AI vulnerability reports that aren’t proven. Discrediting a valid bug because it was not human generated may lessen workflow, but it’s at the cost of your software’s security and reliability.

I agree I would throw out reports that are AI driven & not proven, but if someone did the actual PoC and demonstrated actual risk I wouldn’t care if it was originally AI or not. I would just assign it based off severity like normal.

I intentionally left addiction out of the equation as I don’t expect the everyday person is going to have that occur to them, and if it did occur that’s only going to make it /worse/ for the devs on the platform as it’s almost certainly going to favor rougelites and proc gen over story and action titles. I see no use of this.

as for my subs? I left the gaming sub field almost entirely. My only gaming sub I still have is humble bundle, because you own every game as long as you had choice the month it was released. I had gamepass ultimate for 2 years as part of the xbox X all access pass thing they did but, I found that there was very little actual decent “I want to play” games. I would play a few of them(like 6-8 of them) a month and then say “ok ill come back to them some day”, and then just not. For the price of a AAA title every 3 months (now a AAA title every other month) it wasn’t worth it for me.

From the consumer side, I feel the same way with this pass, I could take that same amount, and buy 1- 3 of the games listed on this and have them to keep, and be helping the devs way more money wise. It’s a no brainer.

Being said, I could see how this could be useful with the more expensive titles on the pass, but that is the case with normal GP as well.

I resound with the other commenters, this is a hard pass for me.

I got enough subscriptions to deal with than have a subscription for the cheaper style games.

This type of model isn’t even going to be helpful to the developers either, it may increase publicity but, the article says itself that it bases money earned on gametime and if people played a lot each dev is going to have diminishing returns… Nobody buys a subscription model with the expectation they are only going to play 1 or 2 games, people play as many games as they can, that way they can get the most out of the subscription. for 6.99 a month, even locking myself down to once a week only, if I played 3 inde titles a week, for an hour each, thats 12 games a month, which means that 6.99 is going to be less than 60 cents to each developer a month, and that is ignoring whatever cost they charge as a platform fee.

Sure the argument can be made that thats still money the dev wouldn’t be getting otherwise but, I see this as more of a disadvantage to inde studios. I think the example they used in the article is very optimistic and not super realistic to what will happen.

there was a wiki news?

So I had in my mind what I thought a handcuff key looked like when I went to look it up and then the results that I saw did not match what I thought it was going to look like.

I would imagine having a less than honest friend with bolt cutters would suffice with at least bringing your hand usage back, then from there you can try to find something else later on.

Yea i get what you mean. Also I know what case you are talking about I think, That was the case where they never even noticed he did it until he said something right? I saw a youtube video on that a year or two ago.

I agree but, thats sort of the point. The first alternative is a lot of money that takes a bunch of time to setup, just for the city to very cheaply and quickly reverse it. They had already /tried/ that approach and the city said no, doing it themselves was just a bad plan to begin with.

The city at the moment is out maybe 20 minutes to take the sign down, and then can go back to sticking their head in the sand.

A damaged road? can take weeks to months to fix, and requires a dedicated crew and equipment, all while forcing vehicles to slow down due to it, while using tools that are likely just laying about the garage. Don’t take me wrong, both methods are super illegal, but, one is morally bad, cheap and hard to fix, where one is morally good, expensive, time consuming and easily fixed.

Our local playground has no traffic signs (aside from a playground sign) and a very faded crosswalk, but everyone knows to slow way down before reaching it because if they don’t the potholes(winter kills the roads) will make them regret it.

The town “fixes” it every few years or so.
