How does a people that experiences the horrors of concentration camps and genocide, just a few generations later, get to the point of perpetrating the same crimes that their predecessors were victims of?

Can’t delete a torrent. Just saying. Keep seeding, Lemmings!

yes, but mobile games now are literally casinos, with research going into making them as addictive as possible to maximise in app purchase and advertisement revenue

source: worked in ad tech for several years, specifically in the mobile gaming industry, monetisation/ad optimisation. a job I regret doing and which feels very scummy in retrospect.

I think this is a bit of a simplistic take. They were fleeing war and may not have had a ton of options of places to go. If they were Jewish, then getting citizenship in Israel, a developed country, was probably their quickest and easiest path out of Ukraine. It’s not actually that easy to get a residency visa in another country, and if you don’t have time to wait around what with bombs dropping, you’ll take what you can get, even if you don’t necessarily agree with the government and politics there.

I uh… you sure about that dictator thing? xi jinping enters the chat

ludicrous speed… GO!

Is it run out of a private residence? How could it happen if it’s in a real data center…?

For what it’s worth, this is also my understanding, as the administrator and operator of this Lemmy instance.

As it happens, you shouldn’t trust Lemmy DMs either, as they’re not encrypted and can be read by instance administrators. So don’t use them to say anything that you wouldn’t be okay making public.

Well it’s gonna learn to post crypto spam ads and swastikas then. Which come to think of it… might be the point

So far I think I can live without Topaz, Photoshop and some other image stuff long term, but to be honest if that turns out to be wrong, I’m inclined to buy a cheap Mac Mini specifically for photo stuff rather than keep Windows around anymore.

So you’re telling me that Grok is so bad that they have to pay developers to integrate it? How backwards. People are willing to pay for Grok’s competitors.

I’ve been dry-running a Linux only world for a few months now, dual booting and running everything on the Linux partition, only using windows when necessary. So far basically all my games run well under proton and the few non-free programs I care about work well enough under wine. I think tomorrow is the day I blow away the windows partition.

That’s kinda my point. Even if Russia tries to order them to make it available, they can’t do so except to Russian users, which defeats the purpose.

Seems like the app stores could derail this by simply not approving the app outside of Russia, which would fall outside of Russia’s jurisdiction to do anything about.

I don’t get it. Used it for what? Why would they need leaked source engine code to make a mod for the source engine with the official SDK?

Wow, the YouTube account was straight up banned

Well, I’d never heard of this mod until right now, but it’s all over the gaming press. So maybe Valve has just Streisand effect-ed themselves.
