If you came to the fediverse for a community on dbzer0, easiest solution is to make an account on dbzer0. It’s a good instance, if you like it, think about contributing to their patreon.

No, we’re all on lemmy.world and we’re here, not fully defederated. You can get to most communities on dbzer0, it’s just that specific /c/piracy community that is blocked on world.

Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.

I know it’s kinda confusing.

If you’re thinking about asking the AI whether it’s a good time to hydrate, the answer is yes.

I think one of the various interface options does, but you can just use one of the multitude of third party apps available as well.

The theory is that you could stretch it to fall under incitement, not sure if something quite like it has ever been prosecuted, but near everyone includes similar disclaimers if they want to do something like this.

Proton is basically magic. I’ve got 1960 games on steam and I have a chunk that are listed as ‘untested’ but less than 10 that are listed as incompatible. The games listed as untested also usually end up just working. You may have to mess with proton or winetricks sporadically, but even that is very rare in my experience. It is nearly always an issue in a multiplayer game with anti-cheat when it just doesn’t work.

We’re just going to have to spend the next 20 years researching each model to figure out whether it was made by nissan guys in nissan plants or honda guys in honda plants. It will probably realistically be functionally separated for a long time. Hopefully, everything will settle closer to honda quality.

I’m conflicted on the projects like that one right now. It’s super clever to monitor the network traffic for specific dash buttons trying to reach out, but it also feels super janky and I don’t feel like I can justify putting the effort to set that up when it just feels so fragile. Especially with the caveat that if the amazon block you have to setup for it fails then the device just becomes a paperweight.

Genius idea, but I’m going to hold out for the unlikely possibility of someone figuring out a firmware level hack.

Amazon was effectively giving them away for free for a large portion of their lifespan. You’d have deals where you’d pay for them and then get a coupon for actually using them equal to the purchase price. I feel like I even remember a few times where the coupon you got worked out to slightly more than you paid for the button. Basically, saying that someone ‘bought’ one was usually only partially true.

They did have a few legitimately good uses. Had to have something that needed restocking sporadically but you also didn’t think about often and could wait 2-3 days to receive when you realized you were out. A lot of prerequisites there, I used the ones for trash bags and detergent often.

It’s mostly just a shame the amount of ewaste produced at this point. I still have a box full somewhere in hopes of finding a use case.

On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.

The rules only cover viral marketing when they’re not already paying off reddit.

That sounds just like 90% of the doctors I’ve talked to in my life.

Probably a big number, but also probably not that many in terms of user count when compared to the overall count.

I don’t think we have good data on reddit, but a lot of fairly smart people have been trying to figure that out with twitter/x. Key you have to remember is that the average user only consumes content, they don’t contribute in any fashion. So, you can have 10 or so bot accounts being more visible than 10,000 ‘active’ users and still be posting things at a rate that would seem reasonable for an average human. They’ll just come across as a highly engaged user until someone looks closer.

From a statistics standpoint, definitely not.

As of Q4 of 2023, reddit claimed 36.4 million logged-in ‘daily active’ users. An increase from Q3 of 2023 with a count of 34.7 million. Not sure of the accuracy of user counts for lemmy, but good estimate is about 450,000 total users over it’s entire lifespan, if every single one of those was a reddit convert, we’d still be a minor blip. I don’t know if we have 2024 numbers that are comparable, but most stats indicate that reddit is likely still growing.

Spez predicted what would happen in that protest with almost 100% accuracy and most mods involved didn’t follow through and backed down. Some are trying to build something new and that’s worth pursuing but we lost that fight.

It is very obvious this studio does not know what they are doing and has learned little from their previous releases and from other contemporary games.

I think they’ve learned that they don’t have to care about that to be successful. We have to keep reminding ourselves that success by these studios does not have to be defined by ‘making a good game’. Starfield was a great success financially and there’s no reason they should change gears from that perspective.

Starfield has made around $700 million.

It sounds like you’re getting into the keeping it running phase.

First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It’s not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you’re probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it’s a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn’t pay me enough to help someone self-host email.

Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don’t expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you’re going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).

We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.

You’re not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.

They’re basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.

They work, but it’s expensive and POC stage. They’re mostly just not scaled to the level that we think we can take them to.
