I’ve got a fever…

And the only cure is more transport!

I feel like this is a match made in heaven. My only concern is whether it can have a good enough story to be interesting as a single player experience.

Uh oh, looks like someone’s AI company is running out of money and needs people back on Twitter. 😭

It does, but it seems like it’s still a bit of an afterthought. But it’s getting better.

Still tho, podman is fine and I like the project as an alternative to docker.

Rich kids. The worst type as they’re also the least likely to get meaningfully punished.

Any interested in making this a federated search?

I’ve been toying with the idea of a web-ring style search engine where it uses the fediverse’s post and sub system so that you can subscribe to “indexers” that are made by other users (or even mastodon users themselves) so that you can have highly targeted search engine systems. So, for example, you could make multiple search “scopes” and each of those scopes would follow specific other “sources” and search from them. Likewise, users could provide links and descriptions to add new entries to each scope which would, in essense, work like a fediverse post and then be distributed to all other interested parties.

I haven’t done a lick of implementation yet, but thought I’d share the idea here as I consider doing this more and more every day. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is images, because ideally that would be a special type of scope view.

You’re right, but let’s not forget that the facebook phone is really popular and the meta glasses definitely don’t look like nerd emoji. 🤓

This was always a catch and kill project.

It’s crazy how normalized gambling became the last 10 or so years.

It used to be really hard to gamble legally. Now it’s hard to find someone not pushing “legal gambling” everywhere. Meanwhile, we still can’t smoke weed in some parts of the world? What?

One step away from being relocated to their actual destination: the bin.

Nvidia is only begging because they didn’t realise that putting out a free product that essentially makes most work redundant would bite them in the ass as it would mean less people able to buy their products.

Oh, and because they’re worried about what happens when they start charging the companies who fired everyone the real price of the AI service they’re currently providing for free.

Where do people who use kobo readers buy their ebooks? Is there a reliable non Amazon e-reader shop that sells from free books? (Besides humble store)

What AI profits?

Shit like this will continue to happen until governments start enforcing interoperable open standards and resume enforcing antitrust laws, which were, in practice, suspended for a long time, for whatever reason.

Which will never happen if we keep ending up with republicans every 4 years. Sad state of affairs, but technology will remain corporate as long as people are awful putting their money where their mouth is (or time, in the case of social web)

Electricity production vs electricity waste, the choice is pretty obvious honestly.

Ignoring the fact that I also don’t think I could trust any company in 2026 to maintain a nuclear power plant well, it feels like we’ve actually gone backwards in that front specifically.

No, believe it or not it used to be Netflix because it was so high in the stock market value.

By design, too.

Ah I’ve been noticing some weird youtube behavior lately. This probably explains it.

Crazy something like this passes a company as large as Google’s eyes.

I was thinking this as well. You would have thought they took the “Jeeves” as an agent name.

I had always heard “binary blob” said when it came to opaque code, but I see that blob is what is used to describe unexplained binary data as a whole in database lingo, so I’m willing to say your usage of it is probably more correct than mine here, assuming the binary data isn’t an actual program (afaik there’s no elf-file like characteristics but who knows.). 😇
