The motivation may be as financial as it is scientific.
The motivation is financial ONLY.
Noone in their right mind would do this without a serious plan to deal with space debris, but they sorely need investors to keep investing, so any marketing BS is fair game to them.
Evey time I see one of those, I block the entire channel, after a while youtube stopped filling my feed with that crap.
They still appear sometimes, but much less than before, and I still go on systematically blocking every channel that has them.
I’m against pet feeders in general.
Cats regulate themselves much better than us, they don’t need us “measuring” food, just check they have dry food available 24/7 and manually give wet food. If you can’t dedicate a few minutes every day to check for their needs, you may need to reconsider keeping them.
Unless they have health issues, in that case a pet feeder could be handy, but it’s hard to believe they are “millions”.
Dogs don’t need to eat as often as cats, if you “need” to feed them remotely, it means you’re leaving them alone for very long hours, that’s not good for a dog.
You can safely leave a cat alone all day if you’re out working, not a dog.
Furthermore, feeding your pet yourself contributes to bonding, using a machine for that may be convenient for you but it’s definitely not for the good of the pets.
Test environments are for rookies, work directly on Prod like a real champ!!
For me personally, AI slops are destroying everything.
I don’t want to be in places where every time I read or see something I have to wonder if I’m interacting with another human or a robot, it’s awful.
And it has become also more difficult to find interesting content when at every turn you find AI crap overtaking everything else, it’s tiring.
we should be less vague about what AI was used for
I agree as well, because it very much depends on what you use AI for.
If it’s for prototyping or very minor things players wouldn’t even notice, it’s fine and I wouldn’t put that kind of use on the same level of companies who want to use AI to outright replace workers just to cut costs.
Steam does demo fests with tons of new games to try completely free, that’s my goto when I want to try something new, true that not all games offer a demo but that’s devs loss imo, if they believe in their games they shouldn’t be afraid of releasing a demo.
I too usually wait for discounts (got Mass Effect legendary edition at 10$ xD), especially on GOG, only exception are games like BG3 or Expedition 33, for those I’m happy to pay full price the moment they release.
Maybe I’m too old, but I never understood the appeal of game passes, you can’t play hundreds of games at the same time unless you have nothing else to do in your life, and most of them are garbage anyway.
Only reasonable subscription model to me is MMOs, because those require a complex infrastructure to run, but non-MMO games? No thank you, I’ll just turn to indies that still sell games without any live-service bullshit.
Important notes from the article for those playing on PC:
Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform. The Steam Deck Native build is only supported on Steam Deck.
Due to the way Valve’s Deck Verified system works with it also giving the same default for Desktop Linux, you likely need to now manually force Proton on it - otherwise you’ll see it as a totally empty download. I’ve added a bug report for Valve on this one, hopefully it can be sorted.

So “AI powered” ads? Integrated into gaming? Players caring about performance will be so happy about that …
Glad I’m not using any of their crap.
Ofc they will, so the can inflate participation with bots all they want.
If bots weren’t counted, it wouldn’t actually be a bad metric IMO.
Here’s the link to the press conference (official NASA channel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-StZggK4hhA
It’s incredible the effort and love you’re putting into this, thank you so much!
I know you skipped all the above
I read it all :P
Also thank you for sending the news with bot, I missed the previous one about the UK safety act and was about to ask (then I saw it’s already answered in the comments).
Is there a RSS feed for this community?
That’s typical reddit behavior, many of them brought their childish habits over to the fediverse.
Keep all work stuff contained in a (encrypted) virtual machine, that’s what I do.
I work for a big enterprise, in a case like that, you seriously don’t want sensitive company data on your personal PC, it’s asking for troubles if you do.
Our company PCs are Windows, I got permission to install VIrtualbox so I can use Linux that’s so much better for many things. I encrypted the VM I use for work, so I can keep a copy on my personal PC when I work at home, without any risk of data breaches.
The advantage of a VM is that it makes it very easy to separate work from home, you start it up when you work, you shut it down when you’re done working and it doesn’t “interfere” with your personal stuff that way.
The details of origin and motives of the attack, along with mitigation tactics, are, understandably, being kept under wraps while the investigation continues
I hope they’ll disclose at least the origin, and what they think their reasons are, when it’s over.
I’m curious about who would attack Arch and why.
Google has too much of a long history of discontinuing their apps not long after launching them, this one won’t be any different.
Can people not search “Ed Zitron newsletter,” or “Ed Zitron podcast”? I’m kinda surprised how much this happens
Would it kill you to add the links yourself?
There you go:
Ofc they’re not, they’re not made for knowledge nor intelligence, they’re made to “predict” language patterns based on probability.
That’s what they do and what they’re trained for, nothing more.

Maybe, since it could be a response to change the monetization with battle passes instead.
It doesn’t matter IMO since the result is the same: shittier content for more money.
