Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to integrate Grok into the chat app; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue.

  • Signal doesn’t have bot support, so it’s hardly a Telegram equivalent sadly

    Matrix works though, but it has the fediverse problem of “which instance do I pick?”

  • IIRC the plague was also the thing that invented surnames.

    Before you were just John, but after you had to travel to other cities and there might already be a John so you became John Smith or John

    • ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard

    Jump

  • I sold my Alexa devices when the Sidewalk crap came out

    Still waiting for a replacement for the Echo Show though, having a smart speaker with a display was handy at times

    • Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?

    • Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'

  • It’s by far the least scummy of all online shooters.

    I still have multiple to unlock and I have no issue paying for them. I have way more money than time to play.

  • But you don’t “need” to unlock them all on the day of release, there is no FOMO component, they don’t disappear after a month.

    And if you play enough to unlock them faster than they can get them out, you definitely have the time to grind the 1000SC to unlock them.

    • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

  • 2000 people, 3k+ devices and one dude wants a Linux laptop.

    Not happening 😀

    But it did work in a smaller company of around 30 people, mostly because the IT guy was a Linux user too

  • WSL made windows tolerable in the time I had to use a windows machine for work.

    macOS is still the better choice for corp approved work, integrates decently with IT systems and is a “real” unix system underneath.

    Linux on a corporate desktop is mostly about how well you know the IT guys and do they trust you. And of course the software stack.

    • Apple TV+ is painful as fuck

    Jump

  • Most likely the people using a windows browser to watch ATV+ is a minuscule percentage and doesn’t warrant the cost of implementing and maintaining a proper solution

  • Any TV made in the last few years, all Google TVs at least and LG WebOS

    • Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time

    Jump

  • They (IIRC) intentionally increased coal energy production because it’s cheap and easy to spin up.

    But at the same time they’re using that power as a stopgap for renewables.

    Kinda what Germany is trying to do

    • “No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple fees

    Jump

  • I’m not entirely optimistic about this ruling, but we’ll see.

    Apple had no reason NOT to give refunds and then use their weight to claw it back from the app developer.

    But what happens when not-too-legit apps use non-AppStore external sites to unlock features in an app?

    In a perfect world it’s cheap and easy and reliable.

    But it can also be a scammy shop that lures you into expensive subscriptions with no easy way to cancel them (eg. gym membership) and what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?

    Could go either way 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • Cheap Portable USB Touch Monitors - any experiences?

    Jump

  • I have an Arzopa too, works as a second monitor for my laptop when travelling

    Also bought a cheap small AliExpress dock for the Switch so I can use it as a display when playing on the go

    • TIL that the characters of Vasquez in Aliens (1986) and the stepmother in Terminator 2 (1991) were played by the same actor, Jenette Goldstein, apparently donning brownface for the earlier role

  • Masamune Shirow himself confirmed that Kusanagi was a mass production model on the outside to blend in and not have her harvested for parts, like a custom body would be.

    Also the whole fucking theme of the franchise is “what is a soul (ghost)”. Kusanagi has canonically swapped “shells” multiple times, is it a ship of Theseus thing or is she still the same person?

    But this is an argument I can’t win, so I’ll leave this here and disappear 🫠
