I’ve even seen arrow keys that use Up, Down, Left, Right and it makes me sad.

Everything’s a drum!
ineligible for promotion
This seems like an empty threat to me. Every promotion I’ve ever gotten internally has come with a negligible pay increase (~4%). The best promotions I’ve gotten have been leaving to take a new job somewhere else (~20-50%).
Here is a bit of information on how Lemmy’s “Hot” sorting works.
I’m not going to argue about how addictive any specific feed or sorting method is, but this method is content neutral, does not adjust based on user behavior (besides which communities you subscribe to) and is completely transparent as all post interactions are public. With this type of sorting users can be sure that certain content is not prioritized over others (outside of mod actions which are also public). Having a more neutral straightforward ranking system that isn’t based on user behavior reduces addictiveness and is less likely to form echo chambers. This makes it easier to see more diverse content, reduces the spread of misinformation and is much more difficult to manipulate.
The problem is algorithmically driven content feeds and the lack of transparency around them. These algorithms drive engagement which prioritizes content that makes people angry, not content that make people happy. These feeds are full of misinformation, conspiratorial thinking, rage bait, and other negativity with very little user control to protect themselves, curate the feed or to have neutral access to news and politics.
Lemmy sorts content very simply based on user upvotes. If you want to know why you’re seeing a post you can see exactly who upvoted it and what instances that traffic came from. It’s not immune to being manipulated but it can’t be done secretly or in a centralized way.
Yet based on their actions we already know that Facebook has levers they can pull to directly affect the amount of news people see about a specific topic, let alone the source of information on that topic. These big social media companies guard these proprietary algorithms that are directly determining what news people see on a massive scale. Sure they claim to be a neutral arbiter of content that just gives people what they want but why would anyone believe them?
Lemmy is not the same thing, though it’s not without its own problems.
That’s my data, I don’t know you!
It means he wants one but it’s in poor taste to join in with the fan outcry when it’s not up to him, it’s up to Sony.
FromSoft… how the fuck am I supposed to know that I’m supposed to go to a single random point of grace and pick a dialogue option to talk to a doll… not once… but MULTIPLE TIMES in a row while nothing happens before the quest finally progresses.
Seriously it’s the bizarrely obscure stuff like this, or expecting that after every single boss I’ll just randomly wander the entire world and talk to everyone just in case they moved or have something new to say. Drives me up the wall. I like that FromSoft is okay with you missing content so they shut up and get out of the way but some of these quests are cryptic as hell.
Slightly less good for the people of Taiwan.
They still are.
Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a CBDC [Central Bank Digital Currency],” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday
Don’t use the imaginary digital currency made by the deep state. Use this specific digital currency that I have a huge financial interest in!
The adaptive triggers are great. I’ve assumed that support for them on PC is basically non-existent, does anyone know if that is true? I figured I’d be lucky if it worked on the handful of PS5 games that have come to PC.
Honestly I still haven’t had a chance to try them out myself so I can’t make a specific recommendation but that market has been exploding recently. I have a sort of nice problem where people keep gifting me their Raspberry Pi’s once they aren’t sure what to do with them so I keep accumulating them without trying.
That being said, the big ones I’ve had my eye on lately are things like the Odroid N2+, the Jetson Nano, the Rock Pi or the Banana Pi. Some of these cater more towards being integrated into projects that need a lot of GPIO, others are focused on just being a low cost low power headless server or thin client.
The SBC market seems healthy enough that by the time I need another SBC I’ll have a lot of options. Biggest loss is just that having one extremely popular hobbyist board made it really easy to find solutions to issues in the community and now there is just a lot more variety out there.
For months it was impossible for me to get any Pis at MSRP and then my employer suddenly bought 30 of them to use for signage around the office. That’s when I knew the non-profit hobbyist/enthusiast org was gone.
I’m not worried about it though. In the meantime a lot of other stellar SBCs have emerged on the market.
Watch out for that Zuck Suck. He’ll lick your fingerprints right off.
It’s easier to redirect attention than to completely obscure something.
“I’M JUST STRUGGLING TO OPEN A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER! PAY NO MIND TO MY SOUNDS OF DISTRESS!” (Horrible farting sounds ensue)
Foolproof.
The adoption of IPv6 on some segments of the Internet has lessened the crisis around IPv4 availability.
Without blatant privacy and copyright violations AI wouldn’t work. I mean it doesn’t really work anyway but it would work even less.
Reading this I kept thinking “How have I not heard of this?” and then I discovered it’s because this sort of setup isn’t possible in the US.
Yeah how long before it tells someone to put motor oil on pancakes since that’s what they use for commercials.
I’ve been running Bazzite on an old 1st gen Surface Book Pro that I had laying around. Touch screen and all the fancy keyboard stuff works great.
