Perhaps I worded it poorly, but my point was that companies shouldn’t go bankrupt when they make a mistake.

If you keep doing it after you’ve been told, then you’re no longer just making a mistake it’s obviously malicious, but I don’t think then Apple should go bankrupt when they incorrectly implement a new law.

While I personally don’t think it’s accidental, you should be more lenient towards a first offense for any new law (unless you can prove it was intentional, which is incredibly hard).

While true, 568m is a significant cost of doing business. Also remember that a punitive action should not make the company go bankrupt, it should make them rethink.

And if they don’t, the fines will go higher, until they do rethink.

Steam is equally shitty, they just have the advantage of not being publicly traded which means they can create long term strategies and execute them successfully.

Doesn’t mean they’re pro consumer.

Somewhere in between that weird guy and jaded outcast.

Yep, this is the reason, the service that facilitates this is called Lemmy Federate.

I mean, if ever there was a good reason for blockchain (aka immutable things that can’t be changed after being created), it’s this.

Digital everything is the future, like it or not, for long term preservation it’s better to focus on digital solutions.

I mean, not even 500k people in the whole of EU care about this apparently, so we get what we deserve, I guess.

It really looked like it’ll be signed quickly in the beginning, I was really hopeful.

Now I’m not really sure it will pass.

J2ME are old dumb non-touchscreen phones. My last one was Sony Ericsson j108i. And just now reading the Wikipedia entry, it was actually the last non-smartphone phone by Sony Ericsson! Nice.

Damn, the nostalgia is real. And the design still looks much better than smartphones which look pretty much all the same. Back then, phones had personality.

The Sony Ericsson phones in particular had very advanced J2ME support that I didn’t see that much difference between that and my first smartphone (Nokia C5-03). Not that there weren’t differences, the smartphone was definitely more advanced, but it wasn’t that huge of a leap.

Nope, it doesn’t have a controller built-in and its main purpose isn’t gaming. You can’t run PS games on a Switch, does that somehow magically make either not a console?

You can play Mario on old dumb phones using J2ME emulators.

Everyone also always forgets that they save money on distribution massively. And that the amount of games sold has increased significantly.

It’s not as simple as dollars had more value, games should cost more.

It’s a console and a PC in one package! Or you feel like the other consoles don’t have an operating system in them?

You can play Switch games on Steam Deck! At least I do. Some play even better than on Switch.

Does Dungeons 3 or 4 count? If so, these games are great.

I’ll take pessimist takes on technology over calling everything porn any day.

That game’s really great, definitely better than at launch. Still many bugs, but it’s been fun playing with my partner on our local server.

You should have seen some of the work cocaine parties I’ve seen. But granted, I’ve never seen a work-related opium event.

Stick to the training, your brain will figure out the rest. Unless you’re missing self-preservation instinct, your brain will do its best to survive and avoid psychological trauma.

That includes trauma from killing others, you will dull in time naturally.

Important note: you will get psychological trauma, there’s no way to avoid that. Your brain will put up some defenses (the kind of the defenses is highly individual) to prevent the trauma fucking up your life in the short term, but it will fuck you up in the long term. Only therapy can help there, though it’s very unlikely to be cured entirely at all.

If you go to war and get traumatized, find a therapist as fast as you can. The longer the trauma is untreated, the deeper it becomes part of your personality. And by that I mean really as fast as you can. If you get a chance to speak to a therapist 20 minutes after you go through something traumatic, do it, even if you feel like you’re managing. If you can’t access one that quickly (which is likely during an armed conflict), do it as soon as you’re able to.

The wording is very sensationalist. It’s currently hard to trace any single output specifically, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know how it works. The algorithm and theory behind it are very well understood. It’s just that the algorithm is very complex (and uses very large amounts of data), which is what makes tracing a single response token by token so hard.

When you read something about how we don’t understand how AI works, you can safely skip that article, they intentionally use dishonest language to make it sound like something mystical is going on.
