A Disco Elysium edit, placing electrochemistry next to the text: "put down the chat gpt. consume too much caffeine and nicotine and write a paper that you barely understand while you approach hallucination territory from too little sleep and too much raging. engage with academia in the way god intended"
It's become such a walled garden with Google's Play Integrity and various vendors blocking bootloader unlocking
The only reason anyone uses the former over the latter is due to Google abusing its power to effectively force websites to not use the latter, as 2 out of the 3 major browsers don't implement it in any capacity; in fact, they actually removed support.
This post was also inspired by the lack of a WEBP implementation on 9front, while JXL was ported by sigrid.
Should've expected as much, since apparently like half of the 9front developers are on an instance of their own

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet:

According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.
Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?
The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.

@esm yes it is a very good game
there are levels in that game
...
@esm I heard it has mechanics like moving and jumping
@esm Ya, pretty good Nintendo DS game
@esm@wetdry.world i liked the part where luigi burned and screamed

@sneexy who's luigi
@esm I just tried playing it, but this type of game is very hard for me 
My ADHD was misdiagnosed as “smart but lazy”, “selfish”, “lacks effort”, “in his own world”, “too sensitive”, “messy and disorganized”, “always late”, “gets in his own way”, “sloppy handwriting”, “overly emotional”, “a lot”, and “not living up to his potential.”

@rosie
i can motivate myself quite easily but that leads to the opposite problem, i will gather every information there is about a subject which makes me slow and detailed to a point of exhaustion. Sadly nobody wants all the details, and even less people want to pay for that kind of work

random shit listed on profiles , discord roles

@aei yeah. they started out as "moderation" tooling so you could label someone a terf or whatever but then people went and said "hey if we made bots that let people label themselves we could make people show off their pronouns and fursona species and whatever"
ok yeah this is probably why all the apps are for mastodon
...
mastodon api: "to get info about the instance simply make a GET request to /api/v2/instance!"
misskey api: "you have to send a POST request to /api/meta. it must come with data but that data has to be nothing. we might reject you if your user agent isn't from a browser btw"
...
@eblu yeah misskey api is hot garbage, there are reasons why mutliple forks have attempted to implement a masto api layer
...
@esm the more I look into this, the more I realize that mastodon is the only activitypub server that isn't huffing paint. and iceshrimp.net maybe
...
@eblu@wetdry.world @esm@wetdry.world akkoma is good except for the database which sucks because that's the most important part so like you know
The VIA Nehemiah isn't gonna deal very well with Yassposting
I can't even live without a trackpoint anymore :boohoo:
My inability to charge my Switch with my 8BitDo controller is devastating.
why is Steam specifically focusing on kernel-level anti-cheat here. so if an anticheat ran as the Windows SYSTEM user, which has full access to any process aside from PPL processes, that somehow doesn't count for disclosure to the end user? is the K-word really so important?
this feels like appealing to reddit knee-jerkers and it sucks. "modifying kernel level files" what. Nothing does this. Safedisc was decades ago

Steamworks article: "New Tool for Describing Anti-Cheat in Games", "A new dedicated field helps developers describe the anti-cheat provider used in a game"
the text says:
We've heard from more and more developers recently that they're looking for the right way to share anti-cheat information about their game with players. At the same time, players have been requesting more transparency around the anti-cheat services used in games, as well as the existence of any additional software that will be installed within the game.
With this feedback in mind, we've added a new field in the 'Edit Store Page' section where developers can indicate any anti-cheat software that is installed with the game. Once filled out, this data will be displayed to users on the game's Steam Store page.
an image is attached showing a Steam store listing disclosing it includes an anti-cheat software PunkBuster, next to another image showing a listing where that box is red and says "Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat"
...

also PunkBuster is kernel-level on Valve's favourite CPU architecture, Legacy Intel i386, so idk why they didn't put a big scary red warning about that
...
@ipg im all for this but id like to see them add something about whether it runs on proton or not, could just pull from protondb
the deck verified status isnt enough imo
imagine if gifs died and we just used webms with looping enabled

@privateger ok nvm i just tested ffmpeg's svt-av1 on the source screen recording behind latest video i posted (1080p and about 1 min so blehg) and it converted in like 13 seconds. av1 may actually be workable now
...
@kopper@brain.d.on-t.work SVT is very fast nowadays
...
@privateger rav1e the so-called fastest one (idk i used the defaults on ffmpeg) can't even reach 1x speed on the same video file i just never tried looking into svt (and of course aom is a joke in terms of performance)
@privateger imagine if everyone other than safari also let you put videos onto imgs which then acted just like gifs
bluesky news: a trick with their facets system allows you to duplicate what you said so as long as you're fine with the rest of your post being an exact copy of the first 300 characters you can post up to 600 characters. i think. maybe longer even
dangerously bitey kbtiyDon't recommend anyone Mull (a variation of Firefox for Android) without also telling about it deawbacks.
Its default user.js config includes lots of questionable choices, like disabling JIT, disabling WASM, disabling entire web APIs and messing with SSL configuration.
This means that half of webapps won't work, another half will be painfully slow and unresponsive, and yet another half won't ever open because of SSL errors (judging from my experience).
And you won't even know about it unless you go to about:config and see what's modified. Most people would just uninstall Mull at this point.

@cybertailor some rando's firefox fork and copying random about:config snippets on the internet for a vain attempt at privacy and security name a better duo

@cybertailor i can't count how many times i had to tell clueless librewolf users that resistFingerprinting being on by default broke the client-side avatar cropping in misskey
