There is no EU law forbidding alcohol advertisements. Most EU countries have a mix of local laws and self regulation, and only a few of those fully forbid it.

Blood type card. Completely worn from age, even though I’ve never needed it.

However the amount of photo shops has dramatically decreased in that same time period.

Dear Lord what a title.

I played Black Flag for the first time two years ago. It’s still perfectly playable and does not need a remake.

AC1 on the other hand won’t even start without disabling your network. Maybe they should fix that.

It’s still the future. 2000 is when we’ll have flying cars. By 2001 we’ll go to space in ships with retro 70s interiors and find an obelisk that makes you hallucinate.

Thank you for the transparency!

I hope this will be fixed quickly. While people from hexbear often annoy me - that is, if I even understand what they’re trying to say - I love that .zip only defederates very rarely. It’s why I came here after lemm.ee went down.

Lemmy.zip: come for the federation policy, stay for the transparent communication.

I believe strongly in customizing one’s tools

The irony of saying this about a Mac.

Human communication sucks. It should be illegal.

Wait wait wait. Have we been lied to? Are Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, and Leonardo tortoises?

“Almost but not quite” is exactly my experience with Claude.

The only time I’ve had real success is telling it to do a simple API change that touches a dozen files. It took a while and I’m not sure it was faster than doing it manually, but at least it was less boring.

Possibly important context: I only started really using it a few weeks ago.

What kind of a title is that? Vance has no place at all in Hungarian elections, so doing anything is too much - not too little.

The original article mentions the sabotaging only as historical evidence for a trend of pushing its tech onto people. It is not saying Microsoft is currently doing it specifically to sabotage anyone. Bullshit title.

The original article also mentions several things as fact that are not, and omits other facts, but that’s a different discussion.

On to Wayland I guess.

There’s a couple of pigeons that made a nest in my backyard two years ago. It’s located right next to a wall that’s frequented by cats. It’s also right next to the back door, so every time we go out the birds leave the nest in a panic, leaving the chicks behind. That is, if there would be any chicks - the nest has such big holes that the eggs just fall out onto the ground.

After watching Gen V, “fuck cars” got a different connotation.

This distinction — between “design” and “content” — sounds reasonable for about three seconds. Then you realize it falls apart completely.

Bull fucking shit. This is not about platforms being held responsible for user content. This is about adding points and badges and achievements and all kinds of things designed to reward engagement with dopamine.

The author’s example of all content being drying paint would absolutely be addictive if the platform added an achievement for watching 10 different colours. Or: Congratulations, you’ve watched paint dry for 100 hours! As a reward, you get a new fancy emote! THAT is what these platforms do, and that is what is addictive. And that is what they’ve been convicted for.

Is not a loophole to get around section 230 as the author claims.

When we implemented week numbers we actually had to support both systems because customers expected the number to match that in their other applications - some of which followed the standard, and some didn’t.

Most people are born on the same date their whole life.

Downloading Linux? Mandatory psych evaluation. For your protection.

Pretty quickly after the lockdowns ended the 100% wfh became 60% in my company, and that’s where we still are. From what I hear, many other companies also have mixed policies. I have not seen a huge push for complete rto.
