  • Ooo, glad she likes poetry, or at least reading

  • I think my brother was complaining about steam connectivity earlier today, so I guess that might have been it?

    Didn't notice personally. Game I play has a broken launcher through steam, so I run it via binary

  • 🤷🏿‍♀️, everyone gotta start someplace

  • Using it rn, it's forked from Misskey and is in alpha rn

    It feels like mastodon but they sprinkled in a few telegram features tbh.

    Much better than mastodon in terms of user experience tho

  • Check steamdb sales, it'll show the game in other currencies, turkish steam & argentine steam are so cheap lol (understandably)

  • When are they gonna allow us to change the cursor to glow or something, it would be soo helpful, especially with fleets of airplanes in the sky

  • Too bad this becomes less effective as time goes on, this wont affect wyaland windows, only xwayland/X

  • 🙄 Im just gonna say it here:

    Crypto has been dead, dying, scam, grift, rugpull, etc. for 15 years now.

    And the market is still there & growing again, to die again, to grow again, to die again, rinse & repeat.

    Like the fossil fuel industry & nuclear weapons, it will not disappear until something better replaces what it can do to the point its obsolete. .

    Clearly, to those who keep industry value over 500 billion dollars (oh, it's over 1 trillion again 🤷🏿‍♂️), that replacement does not exist yet.

    You can cry, you can call politicians, you can bomb blockchain companies, you can scream at every bitcoin logo ever, it's clearly here to stay.

    Deal with it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

  • This is actually often done when trying to be more eloquent or dramatic or add importance, like how Independence day is The 4th of July versus just saying Jily 4th.

  • Yeah, but ppl i know still place it as ex-ussr fighting for freedom tbh

  • As an American (Georgian):

    Sad there isn't a dot in the middle of germany called NEUTRALITY

    Georgia in Europe is annoying so we would call them "joor-jee-yuh" instead, at least in Augusta GA lol.

    Oh, we know Ireland, most would often just give them the entire island out of ignorance & laziness tbh.

    Sidenote: Ex-USSR bit is pretty effing accurate tho lol

  • Umm... No? I mean i guess it's nice to think that. Sorry, i dont have a bone of humour in my body 🤷🏿‍♂️.

    It's more like morals & steadfast principles will sought after more in soldiers & the ability to make decisions under pressure will be more valuable per soldier than it already is.

    Not sure what to say about IT grads, but given we're entering a more "your security is your problem" world, defense budgets are gonna keep rising, and ofc that money is going to much more than troop & equipment procurement

    (im not in the military, this is all guesses from listening to IR & geopolitical & military podcasts & stuff)

  • I feel like this post belongs in non-credible defense, but my guess is the next evolution of drone warfare: Autonomous Combat Assistants (ACAs).

    Not an official term ofc, but as AI advances, it will allow for far greater flexibility for drones by allowing them to control themselves & take commands from local forces or human leaders directly versus being a remote controlled unit.

    The drone will no longer be just a remote controlled tool, but an operational assistant, saving the human some cognitive load & allowing them to devote more energy to making decisions, for better or worse.

  • Jesus. Imagine how much of the world would react if

    1: jesus literally proved he existed to faiths that say he's a hoax (im agnostic btw)

    2: He reforms the groups that use his name as a pretext to exclude & marginalize others.

    3: Dude turned out to have been gaming like a boss in heaven, like dude comes down & faces the pope in Dungeons & Dragons or Pokemon lmfaooo

  • I kind of get it. My family is Jamaican and even so they haven't cared to speak patois in the house for years nor do they really see the value in helping me learn (assuming they weren't at work), instead laughing at me for messing up words here & there & still speaking US english.

  • Stuff like this could be added to misskey, Firefish, or whatever other fediverse platforms there are. No need to implement it on Mastodon & piss off the entrenched community that wants no algorithm.

    As for the algorithm, im imagining a few dedicated relay servers to sift through mastodon server data using a dedicated llm (thinking like llama or hugging face? I don't know much about the technicals) to sift through and rate posts by engagement, word choice (evil, demonic, eugenics, crypto, etc) and rate each post topic collectively based on how virtiolic, how much engagement, how many posts, how similar to other posts (for spam), & the topic category & subcategory based off the respective language.

    Users who activate the feature would have likes, saves, & etc stored on the client & a hash sent or something with the potential profile focus of the person.

    The server weighing the details will prefer to return less seen & posted content very specifically tailored & occasionally more notable & engaged posts that are more general & less charged.

    I think the general idea is interesting, & I would try to build it myself (for those who say stop whining & make it yourself), but im here grinding through kaggle learning & udemy so it'd be a while lol

  • purchasing power parity. $50 USD can get much more in one of these countries than in the USA
