  • Can he use his money to get the final game made? It may improve my perception of him by 1%… or maybe 0.1%

  • “Im gonna tax my people even harder if you do this! Oh, and then I’m gonna keep that money rather than return it to the company that got fined. That’ll teach you!”

  • I was at a three letter pharmacy in Texas yesterday and the Pharmacist said “oh, we have the new Covid vaccines, if you want to get that and your flu shot right now”. Completely unprompted, didn’t ask about background, prescription or anything.

  • Defederation by nature will help that. On Reddit if the admins didn’t want “RandomTopic” they could ban it or lock it and other variants. On Lemmy you always go to another instance and make it there and the admins of the original instance can pound sand. And if they go as far to defederate there are still other instances out there that federate with it.

  • “May”? — Please tell me what indicator they saw that would signal things would improve? That’s the laughable part. The World Cup is gonna be a shit show that they’ll practically have to give tickets away to at this rate.

  • SCOTUS: “uh, we didn’t mean that. What we really meant was…”

  • Yeah 4K means jack if it’s compressed to hell, if you end up with pixels being repeated 4x to save on storage and bandwidth, you’ve effectively just recreated 1080p without upscaling.

    Just like internet. I’d rather have guaranteed latency than 5Gbps.

  • These past few years have shown how badly humanity hasn’t truly shaken off its barbaric nature. I’m in my mid-40s and I grew up during a time where yes, there were still some issues, but on the whole it felt like humanity was finally starting to evolve, but now it’s the same shit that’s happened across the centuries just with a different veneer.

    The fact we constantly repeat our shortcomings should have been a clue in and of itself, but I though that technical advances would also further us too instead of just coming up with more efficient ways to be assholes.

  • The rabid amount of Linux fanboyism on Lemmy is quite off putting in general. Any conversation about Microsoft gets brigaded with “Just use Linux!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with it. It makes it a pain to have any decent discourse about things.

  • “Seen”

  • I’m actually surprised Texas is not on that list

  • And this is why the GOP is trying to gerrymander the hell out of everything. They know they will lose if they don’t cheat.

  • I seriously thought this was an Onion article

  • “Elect” — small problem, if the bloated Cheeto bites the dust before the 2028 election, he becomes Couch-fucker-in-Chief automatically. Nothing we can do on our end.

  • I thought one of the first rules about being an evil dictator is to make sure to pay your troops decently so they don’t turn on you.

    He’s gonna find out pretty quick that loyalty goes out the window when they’re not getting paid.

  • Again, it depends. If a site is using SNI, the host header is outside the encrypted payload. That can be scanned without breaking https. You can redirect like a proxy, verify the age and then let the original traffic through.

    For old style SSL sites you could evaluate by IP and do the same though it would be a broader stroke.

    The worst one would be if they forced a national proxy with their own trusted root certificate, but I don’t even want to get into that one.

  • What about it? There are tons of ways to deal with that. If it’s an SNI based site, the host header lives outside of the encrypted payload and can be actioned on. They could couple it with IP based whitelists. Or they could push it down to an account level and require it to connect to the internet period. They can approach it almost any way a corporation could. Sadly digital access hasn’t been enshrined as a right anywhere, and it’d be a fine line between enforcement and great firewall of China approach.

  • I’ve been thinking about the idea that it should be on the government to implement any restrictions it might want to place, so than it’s not an undue burden to the site owner. That way if the UK wants age verification, it should implement it and then it can add whatever site it deems without impacting someone in another jurisdiction.

    The downside is it means inserting the government into the network with each country (and state in the US) having its own firewall, so I don’t know if that’s any better. But somewhere along the way the government said that they want to control it, so it should be their problem to solve.

  • Until you unfortunately realize that a load of Latinos in the Valley voted for Trump. You can’t fix stupid and voting against your interests

  • Games @lemmy.world

    At the end of Portal 2...
