Physical buttons on phones would win out over gimmicky touch screens

It wasn’t just you, this was the general sentiment in the west. Cory Doctorow (now of “enshittification” fame) wrote “The Net Delusion” about it

Practically, this doesn’t make a difference. It’s all symbolic. And symbolically, I think this is all wrong. I want people to be able to go where they please, within a country but also between countries. Calling it illegal to exist in a place, when they have done no harm to anyone, is all kinds of fucked up to me. Support Freedom of movement

Saving this now

We live in a late-stage-capitalist hellscape, where large companies are run by aspiring robber barons who have no serious convictions beyond desiring power. All those companies want is for obedient engineering drones to churn out bad code fast, so they can goose the (largely fictional) stock price. Meanwhile, end-users are left holding the bag: paying more for worse software, being hassled by advertisements, and dealing with bugs that are unprofitable to fix. The only thing an ethical software engineer can do is to try and find some temporary niche where they can defy their bosses and do real, good engineering work, or to retire to a hobby farm and write elegant open-source software in their free time.

I love it when they follow Trump’s name with his age. Fuck the gerontocracy

Not what this is about.

I’m so frustrated Dutch media won’t bring this up. Jake Paul’s girlfriend is a Dutch ice skating celebrity, Jutta Leerdam. Everything that happens to either of them is considered news here, but they never bring up that he’s MAGA. Their popularity is nothing more than “attractive sports couple”. If people in the Netherlands knew they’re Trump supporters, they would not look at them the same way ever again.

Dutch road tax is by weight.

Lines of code should be on the balance sheet as liabilities, not assets

Yeah, so it should be a part of the engine, not intercepting the rendering (like reShader/Geo11 based solutions, awesome as it is). Retrofitting existing games is much more difficult, not possible. But high effort, inconsistent quality, not enough titles

And stereoscopic or N-view, not using a depth channel. Depth channel can’t deal with transparency and occlusion.

Exactly. Content is the problem, not the display technology

Game engines, give people a stereoscopic rendering mode and let the hardware vendors figure it out. Every game can be a 3D game without much problems. Display technology is there but the content isn’t.

If anyone could push this, it would be Valve. Just like Linux support. We should not be stuck in the 2D age forever

You’re being downvoted for being dismissive, but you’re not incorrect. She’s been quite open about making more money selling feet pics than with her music, and she doesn’t give any fucks about horny dudes jacking off to her image. So this fits the pattern, I’d say. Go girl, who cares, no judgement

Posh?

“Agentic” means you’re in the passenger’s rather than driver’s seat… And the driver is high af

Wait, what do people use other than rmdir?

Hype isn’t fraud in itself, but I’m convinced there’s also massive fraud. I’m not a financial law expert but there must be safeguards against scams like this. It will be apparent once the bubble pops.

Leuke naam trouwens ;)

No bailout for AI

Let’s get ahead of this. Fraudsters should go to prison.

I’m seeing Erdogan

We need to say it now already, loud and clear:

No bailouts for AI

They want to gamble with new technology nobody asked for, go right ahead. But don’t expect taxpayers to “save the economy” instead of putting these fraudsters in prison
