4 days agoIt’s convenient timing that Google Chrome is removing support for ad blocking plugins like uBlock right as Premium sneaks ads back in… 🙄

71·1 month agoThat team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it’s own errors.
I personally don’t think it’s so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project’s license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.
Emulator projects should all add a clause in their EULA that specifically forbids Nintendo from using their software, then they can sue Nintendo for breaching their license. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
8·1 month agoYeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren’t using it. Still waiting on that one…
I promise you there are older and weirder people in the world who can still find love and fulfillment. Yeah it might be harder, but it is still possible. The most important step is to take care of yourself first. Seriously, look into therapy or support groups. You are not alone in this struggle.
I mean this in the kindest way possible: I think you need some mental health support. Failure isn’t something you are, it’s merely something that happens and it happens to the best of us. You can always change, but it takes some effort and the will to change. Having more self-esteem will really help you find the type of sexual relationship you seem to be seeking.

To me the fediverse is great because you need higher than a room temperature IQ to use it so the posts are already far greater quality and the interactions are more meaningful than any other social network. Meta can keep all the screaming adult children in their platform.
They’re too late, there’s going to be way too much AI generated garbage in their data and so many social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter have already taken measures to curb scrapers.
I sure hope those 2nd amendment fanatics can afford the naval vessels and foreign military bases they’re going to need to get involved in the South China Sea! 💸
Military spending in 2023 (in billions of US dollars):
United States: 916
China: 296
Russia: 109
India: 83.6

That’s a really big rug they put in there. Would be a shame to everyone else if they were to pull it out suddenly.
The post mentioned a wireless mesh network, so it sounds like the ISP/provider already has a bunch of wireless access points set up to cover the whole building. One of the problems with high-density living spaces is that there are only a limited number of communication channels WiFi can use, so if everyone living there also runs their own wireless networks they use up all the available channels and have to cross-talk over eachother, leading to everything slowing down.

3·2 months agoWhen a corporation or private individual uses their large pool of capital to subsidize an unsustainable business model that undercuts and disrupts the competition until it can establish market dominance, that’s called venture capitalism. When a government does the exact same thing, that’s called communism.
The typical American mindset of “corporation good, government bad”.
Before Elon acquired Twitter, the platform enforced an one-sided policy of censoring right-wing points of view. It even started actively shielding the left from any criticism, such as when the Hunter Biden Laptop story was blatantly censored so as to not affect Joe Biden’s presidential campaign negatively.
What’s funny is that there are a slew of articles from 2019 to 2022, before Musk’s takeover, talking about a study that found Twitter’s algorithm actually had a right wing bias because conservative opinions generated higher engagement (both positive and negative) so it boosted them more than liberal ones.
Also Elon has censored many news stories about himself and his companies since his acquisition. He hasn’t stopped censorship, he merely took control of it.

Yeah I suppose World War 2 wouldn’t have happened if everyone just sat back and let Germany conquer all of Europe instead. They would have stopped at that right? 🤷
