The typical hybrid is still 100% powered by fossil fuels. The main thing they’ve done for us is demonstrate the Jevons Paradox.

There’s really no need to recycle this misleading headline forever, they’re not in short supply.

Shouldn’t the focus be on Windows 12? I thought it was supposed to be released in 2025.

Still waiting patiently to see whether venture capital eventually turns Bluesky to shit despite all the fancy words, or whether it eventually grows up and starts federating with the rest of us.

Their UK traffic was down by only 77%? Should’ve been 100% to begin with.

I guess it’s for the best that they’re going after the porn sites first with the “age verification” scam. It’s typically easy for their users to go somewhere else, and it gives a lot of people some first-hand experience of how jarringly intrusive and unsafe it is when a web site asks for official ID or biometric data.

Well, it’s not perfect but it’s better than the way federation works on twitter, or X, Bluesky, or — we can probably assume — on W.

“Based on your writing style and recent emails we have decided that you are too old to be asking ChatGPT such stupid questions.”

I don’t actually know anything about it, was just going on vague memories of stuff I read on a some blog post years ago. Although “since Morrowind” is a long way from the beginning. I hope they’re all having a great time doing that tinkering.

It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?

Given the unreasonably large amount of money that Skyrim brought in I guess Todd is planning something really expensive and large-scale. These things do take time, and they’ve been busy doing other things. The disaster that was Fallout 76 for example wasn’t anywhere near finished until well after its official release date, and then Starfield was just a couple of years ago. Maybe they can learn from the past?

Unfortunately I think the odds are against TES6 being as good as we’d hope for. Even before the acquisition, most of the people who made The Elder Scrolls what it was have long since left the company. But you never know, I guess. Maybe we’ll get super lucky and it will turn out like Skyrim: Huge potential, fundamentally flawed but fixable by modders.

Only an AI can detect how expensive-looking your clothes are and raise the price based on that.

One of the things I immediately liked about cargo is that (so far as I’ve seen thus far) the source is already there, without vendoring, in ~/.cargo/registry. In Debian, to get the source it’s apt-get source $package and as an end user it’s super easy to build things from those source packages if you want to.

Yeah, the personal risk doesn’t worry me as much as the idea that it might eventually get to be as bad as npm.

I did not mean to suggest that crates.io is “bad”. It’s obviously quite useful. It’s just that I would like it better if there were some kind of systematic review of newly submitted packages by someone other than their authors, and I would like rust better if its standard library included a random number generator.

I would suggest that Debian is quite good, and is indeed something special, but that’s another story.

Trusting an organization because it has a long track record of being trustworthy is “invalid”? You guys are pretty weird.

I got the compiler and whatever comes with it from the debian package manager, which has existed for much longer than has crates.io and has had fewer malicious packages get into it.

The AI bubble is so ridiculously huge at this point that I think we’re all living inside the AI bubble.

People do occasionally buy new computers, and this one looks likely to be a better choice than most of what’s on the market.

Hey Grok, why is Elon Musk so popular?

“Elon’s intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.”

Pretty quiet on lemmy without .world and .ca and whatever else. I’m glad to see beehaw still up.
