What a waste, make all these people spend years of their lives building a whole videogame and then immediately make it impossible for anyone to ever play it again. A company shouldn't have the right to erase a game from existence, even if it is a bad one.

I thought it was weird that ENS was not mentioned, found this interesting argument in the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alternative_DNS_root#ENS_removal, apparently it has been censored. Edit: I guess that was a pretty long time ago though

The constitution is clear on how citizenship is defined. People saying this kind of thing are enemies of the republic.

Assembly Bill No. 1043 was approved by California governor Gavin Newsom in October of last year, and becomes active on January 1, 2027 (via The Lunduke Journal).

Sounds like it already passed

I also noticed that, maybe it would help to add some kind of loading progress indicator?

The main complaints about Matrix I've heard though are about behind the scenes stuff rather than features, which the video touches on:

But there are some reasons why I think XMPP is superior. In Matrix, when you join a room, your server downloads and stores the entire history of that room. If someone on a federated server posts illegal content in a room you're in, your server is now hosting it, and you are liable. Whereas in XMPP, messages are relayed in real time. Group chat, MU history stays on your server hosting that room. So your server only stores messages for your users which means that no content caching there is no content caching from other servers. This is a fundamental architectural difference which makes the XMPP protocol better in my opinion.

Personally I don't know that much about it but I briefly looked into what it would take to write a client for Matrix a few years ago and it seemed pretty daunting to work with. Maybe it would be possible to write software that implements more Discord features on top of XMPP to have something that works more smoothly.

The "best engineer in the world" said that it "is fully conscious according to any test I can think of", which of course means that it is conscious for all possible tests, and so it is unnecessary to look at any particular test or definition of consciousness

“When I asked ChatGPT, it said that if I transferred stolen money to an account tied to my losses, and if I was then caught for theft, police would naturally investigate the fraud along with the theft.”

One thing I've noticed is that AI in general expresses a delusional level of trust in established authorities.

The term 'vibe coding' I think was originally about generating and using code without understanding it

Now I'm trying to figure out what dirty joke I accidentally made

which is the point of bestiality laws

If that were true our laws around meat farming would be very different

"In the new legislation, there is a defence carved out in relation to [art and literature], but the defence has to be made out first … it has to be borne out in the court process.

Free speech but only if you go to court to prove you're allowed to say it...

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded
