That’s pretty unfortunate. I think Pocket was probably one of the best services that Mozilla offered (outside of Pocket). I find it worrisome if Pocket was not a profitable avenue for them.

I used it for a while as my read-it-later but it ended up being too expensive for the usage I made of it.

I’m pretty worried about Mozilla as a whole. I feel that none of the projects I remember in the past 15 years have actually worked out. Pocket, CommonVoice, Servo, Mozilla Location Services… It’s a shame, really.

I hope for them that Relay and VPN still manage to work out though I’ve never really been interested in either unfortunately.

This is just enlightened centrism. No. Nobody needs to defend the harms done by technology.

We can accept the harm if the good is worth it - we have no need to defend it.

LLMs can work without the harm.

It makes sense to make technology better by reducing the harm they cause when it is possible to do so.

I mean, I don’t understand the point of an encryption that people can decrypt without it being intended. Just seems like theatre to me.

But yeah, obviously the intended parties have to be able to decrypt it. I messed up in my wording.

This is a false equivalence. Encryption only works if nobody can decrypt it. LLMs work even if you censor illegal content from their output.

I haven’t played Nier, but I’d say that defines perfectly Platinum games’ games (or at least the ones I played)

Bayonetta has basic combat? Isn’t Platinum known for their combat and gameplay?

I think this is the CPU you’re looking for : https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-5600x

There is already an issue here : https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3069

Why do believe they are opposed to having this feature?

Here are some examples on exploding-heads.com and rammy.site though I kinda doubt you don’t know about them. Their members frequently harass trans and queer communities as well.

I’m gonna be asking hard questions, I think, sorry about that. I hope you consider it tough love considering our past interactions.

As an instance admin, I have some questions:

• How are you doing? I know there was a lot of pressure when things blew up and it seems to be calming down a bit now.

• How is Lemmy doing financially?

• Considering past releases and their associated breaking bugs (including 0.18.3), what measures are you taking to help prevent that?

• Can we consider the possibility of downgrades being supported?

• Why are bugs affecting moderation not release blockers? Does anything block releases?

• Are there plans to give instance administrators a voice in shaping the future of Lemmy’s development?

As someone who is trying to help with Lemmy’s development, I have some other questions:

• What do you think are the biggest problems with Lemmy as a software project and what are your priorities for Lemmy?
• Considering fairly low amounts of developers contributing to Lemmy, how are you working to help new people get into the project?
• Do you worry about the message it sends to potential contributors when the main developers are working on a different project which competes with the former? (Example: Lemmy-ui vs Lemmy-ui-Leptos)
• Considering most work is done voluntarily, how are you trying to organize and prioritize work?
• Do you believe you are stretching yourself too thin between Lemmy, Lemmy-ui, Lemmy-ui-leptos, Jerboa and Lemmy.ml? If so, what are you doing to help you focus?

I certainly have thoughts about bots and the Piped in particular, you can find them in this thread that was started today https://beehaw.org/post/6945406

Sorry for leaving you on read.

I shared it because I like the creator and a game in the list I thought was cool. Nothing more to it.

Great video as always from Noodle. I think I’ll try peglin - the rest is not really my jam.

Hi!

The moderators of !gaming@beehaw.org announced a new rule regarding memes in the community : https://beehaw.org/post/6870578

So I’m removing your meme, have a nice day

Memes tend to not be a great discussion starter. If there is an overwhelming amount of memes, interactions and discussions can easily be buried and socially discouraged as a result.

Note that they also say:

Dolphin is an independently created computer program that is circumventing Wii disc encryption for interoperability with Wii software. According to this exemption, this does not constitute infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 1201. This exemption even allows distribution of information collected through circumvention, like encryption keys, if it is for software interoperability.

17 U.S.C. § 1201(f) is a significant legal protection for emulation in the US, and it is why Nintendo has yet to legally challenge any emulator with the DMCA anti-circumvention clauses despite the law going into effect 25 years ago. Unless a court rules that our understanding of the law is incorrect, we have every reason to believe that our decryption of Wii game discs is covered by this exemption.

Their conclusion is that they believe that they fit in the exemption clauses of the DMCA and therefore, they are not breaking the DMCA by including a mechanism or the key. They think that the exemption clause might not apply if the key or decryption mechanism was standalone.

Love me some ruffle.rs usage!

Please don’t compare relatively mundane things to rape.

Glad you managed it!

I’ve just tried the link and managed to reset your password. Obviously, I will not share that password because I can’t verify your identity but I’d recommend trying the “forgot password” button again. If it still doesn’t work, I’d recommend checking your browser settings and/or trying a private window or something of the like to avoid possibly problematic extensions.
