Trying to finish the Horizon Forbidden West story, but it’s a bit meh. Really sad about that! The HZD stories were great, and the world is as beautiful as ever, but I stopped caring at some point with the newest one. Other than that, I just bought the Age of Wonders 4 season pass and am trying out the new races and traits.

Can’t hide my gaming history 😅

Afaik it’s pretty common to call twinks “halfs”, conjoined or not. I’m a twin, and I’ve been asked about “my other half” my whole life. Same thing with couples, or any two people who are perceived as belonging together for some reason.

I’d say nobody. Not putting innocent people in jail is more important than punishing criminals imo. But idk what to do with the guilty half instead.

No, it really doesn’t. That’s like creating a bot that buys and sells company shares automatically, and saying the stock exchange has a vulnerability because your bot makes bad decisions.

What’s absurd is this crypto maximalist take.

You can’t just make up your own permission and punishment system, and then expect the legal system to just step aside and let it handle all disputes, especially when it comes to fraud. That’s like founding your own city in an existing country, and declaring all existing law obsolete. I know some people think this is a real possibility, but the real world doesn’t work like that.

IANAL and all, but bad/unfavorable contracts and literal deception/fraud are two different things, at least in the legal system. Not everything that’s technically possible is also allowed, obviously.

Compare it to using a security flaw to hack into a system. Technically you’re only using the official API, maybe in unusual ways, but still. But you’re doing it in bad faith and causing harm, maybe pretending to be someone you’re not or injecting fake data into the system, and that can make a difference.

It’s not. They tricked some MEV-Boost bots into doing bad trades.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the exploit.

The Pepaire-Bueno brothers exploited a bug in MEV-boost’s code that allowed them to preview the content of blocks before they were officially delivered to validators, according to the indictment.

The brothers created 16 Ethereum validators and targeted three specific traders who operated MEV bots, the indictment said. They used bait transactions to figure out how those bots traded, lured the bots to one of their validators which was validating a new block and basically tricked these bots into proposing certain transactions.

So hardly an attack on any core system of cryptocurrencies.

I hope at that point we have enough capable alternatives. Like, hopefully around the time they add ads is also the time when open-source models and apps have caught up again.

You have to provide the user, group and file name as the next three guesses, just trust me!

They could just choose someone to send to the debate, doesn’t have to be a candidate for the presidency.

I’m no fan of the right, but some of the rules only exist to prevent smaller alternatives from getting traction, especially in the media.

It’s a group therapy called !linux@lemmy.ml, we always have free seats!

This is pretty impressive and hella creepy!

Yea, it’s pretty easy if you already have a server. All you need to do is run a docker container, and change the identity.sync.tokenserver.uri setting in about:config. On mobile you have to enable the debug mode by going to “Settings > About Firefox” and tapping the Firefox logo a few times, then go to the new “Sync Debug” settings entry.

The container above only runs the sync-server though, you still have to log into a Mozilla account to use it. There is a replacement that includes the whole stack, but I haven’t tried that one yet.

Yep. It’s e2e encrypted, and you can even self-host the sync server, if you don’t want to rely on an external service. Pretty much a no-brainer.

The reason the Jedi use prosthetics to train is because live lightsabers are so good.

If you’re curious, here are the numbers added up for all Lemmy instances with 10+ users:

blocked/fedipact

• ​​users: 251442 (~60%)
• active: 24106 (~55%) ​​​

federated

• ​​users: 167166 (~40%)
• ​​active: 19558 (~45%)

If you have a monopoly and need to maximize profits then the question becomes: Why not?! You could extract more money this way, and it’s not like your users would go anywhere else at this point.

That is why it’s so important to fight and break up monopolies, and to limit what these companies can do. Because they have no reason not to squeeze every penny they can get out of you!

You could run a WebDAV server locally and make it sync to that.
