Sry to be that guy but there’s currently basically no way for him to get in jail by saying bad things.

Speech is never enough to prove insurrection or similar charges and the supreme court ruling on presidential immunity makes hard to get in trouble, even if there’s actions to prove he’s inciting something.

I made course for 11th and 12th graders together with a friend when I at university. It was only one week long and the topic was neural networks (we hit the timing right, it was 3 years before the AI hype started).

I did that experiment where you give the students 5 random places and amount of time out of a week. You say that is the movement profile of a fictional person and the students have to find out why those places matter.

Makes them learn the importance of information and how linking data can be an insane tool for understanding as something. But it also teaches how easy it is to gather information from small data points and self aware you should be about your digital footprint.

This.

In my experience 95% of crimes committed on a digital platform are crimes of social manipulation.

Impersonation, phishing, scams, … It’s all just a social game.

• nothing. I have autism. There’s nothing wrong with me, but I’m obviously a little bit different like other people, which in itself is neither good nor bad.

• because we need a descriptor and that’s just what my friends use; we know what we mean with it and what we don’t.

Also I’m gonna take those questions at face value, but I’m just gonna note the first question is a bit out out of left field, as no one implied that something’s wrong with that.

But I don’t wanna assume you are an asshole, so I’m gonna take it as a misunderstanding.

Let’s go through examples:

“He’s retarded” - that’s a slur, unless it’s ironic.

“That was retarded” - not a slur, cause it’s kinda taking a dig at an action, not a person.

“I’m retarded” - technically a slur but almost always used with a hint of irony, therefore usually not a slur.

That’s how I use the word with my friends. And I have autism, so technically 100 years ago I would have been the resident retard ;)

Funnily enough, I think Jesse and James both had their own episodes where they split from team rocket and somehow become very reasonable.

I loved those because it made the plot a little bit more nuanced and interesting.

That’s very well put

Yeah I mean ratings are giving you an idea of whether there’s a chance you like that game. The higher the rating, the higher the chance. But there’s always a bit of chance involved.

I tend to buy highly rated games much more often, but if I really am hyped for a game with an OK rating, I still might give it a go. You never know if it will hit your specific niche.

everyone has at least 20 minutes […] every day.

No.

A lot of people do, but a lot of people don’t.

They may have months without any time surplus. And then maybe some months where they do have a significant time surplus.

But never assume everyone has the same time to dedicate to things.

My mom is currently working 50h weeks and I’m sure that’s on the lower end for some people. I’d prefer her to focus on not getting burnout so she is able to survive a bit longer, and that means she physically can’t.

The potatoes?

Oddly specific question

No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.

Yes I’m a software dev :)

Sound logic.

Why is Pirate Software a fraud?

I appreciated his take on it. Don’t trust politicians to come up with a good solution, always present the issue when you have a good solution ready. And the solution proposed by that petition was weak at best and outright dangerous for the industry at worst.

If you want to force specificity on buying v getting limited time access, that’s fine, but that’s not what the petition focused on.

If you wanna force devs to plan ahead with huge infrastructure cost to make sure servers will be online for a specific time, this might result in online games being unjustifiable for smaller studios.

If you want to shield independent people hosting unofficial servers to games, now that’s a different conversation that we first need to have to figure it out, before proposing an exact solution through a petition. Mind you this is a more complicated topic, as this gets into licensing and IP law.

And I really don’t think stop killing games is clear on those, and that makes this endeavor a lottery with the entire multiplayer games industry in limbo.

Give me another more precise initiative and I’ll join, but until then I’ll definitely not sign anything. If we change things, we should change them for the better, so let’s do our due diligence first.

At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.

From the trailers it even looks like the story is gonna be super linear and boring. At that point they’d need to rewrite the whole thing. Even the most ambitious studio is gonna have a hard time committing to that.

That sounds like a really dumb design idea. Why make a federating protocol if you still rely on the server? I don’t even get why they did it at all then.

That’s indeed very interesting and peculiar.

Yeah Mario Galaxy is one of those creative masterpieces imo

For me it’s 4 Lemmy results and then 2 reddit results and after than chaos ensues.

why does it matter?

Should we stop splitting sports by gender?

It’s inherently boring to watch sports competitions between unequally capable people, and there is a natural difference in that that can be clearly attributed to gender.

I admire your thought of equality but we need to talk about the differences in physique in genders as well if we wanna discuss this.

Don’t dismiss this claim, scientifically debunk it or share why not and how you come to this conclusion.
