It’s not the navigation that requires the server but the processing of the mapping data.

Which in itself is BS because most of these vacuums come with hardware roughly equivalent of a top of the line smartphone from about 5-6 years ago. They can easily do the raw data to map conversion, even if it’s a bit slow and takes 20-30 seconds.

Also if you read the article it specifies that the damn thing is already running Google Cartographer which is a SLAM 3D map builder software - one of the better pro-grade mapping software suites, mind you. So the whole claim of cloud needed for processing is BS.

Of course it ain’t real users.

Reddit has had a major bot problem a decade ago and little has been done to mitigate it - beyond banning legitimate users who dared to be too loud about it.

I’ve moderated a relatively small sub, and pretty much for every legitimate post a day, you’d get 6 to 10 bot posts literally pulling an older post verbatim word for word, or maybe introducing a typo just to make detection harder…

Reddit’s response to the issue? “Hey, why don’t you pay us ~$25 a month just so you can continue using that open source automatic bot detection system we refuse to build into the site itself?”.

If this was a unique instance of a potential Nazi dogwhistle I’d say let’s give them the benefit of the doubt, and consider it a mistake. After all, who of us has never ever fat-fingered some typing and accidentally pressed a letter twice?

But the thing is, this is like, the hundredth Nazi dogwhistle around the orange turdsack to happen “accidentally” in the past few years. From the MyPillow 14.88 pricing, Kegbreath’s very obvious negative space 88 tattoo, to multiple people close to the admin just randomly throwing Nazi salutes, etc., and that’s not even counting the literal Nazi marches waving Nazi and MAGA flags together…

Well, the loss of traffic is a knock-on effect of the misrepresentation. So is the fact that every other portal will try to sling shit at the ones affected by it.

I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)

Apple had to turn it off for their sunmary mode after backlash, even though the option always had the “these summaries are generated by AI and can be inaccurate” warnings placed prominently.

Google doing this shit without warning or notice will get them in shit water. News portals and reporters are generally not too fond of their articles being completely misrepresented.

Oh no the local library is closed today, what do I do with my need for reliable information?

Dunno mate, have you tried asking Hitler?

I liked movie Hammond too, don’t get me wrong. It’s just a completely different story because of the character shift.

I see Baszucki borrowed a few pages from the Trump handbook on how to bullshit until you’ve derailed the question so much, nobody even remembers what was asked.

The movie really dumbed Hammond down to “overly optimistic money guy with a vision”. Which was a bit distasteful if you’ve read the books. Just a bit.

Given that Reddit started banning people left and right, I don’t think the “banned from Reddit” bagde is one of shame.

mind you, any and all democrats will be un-redacted.

Did you even read the fucking article? It’s not about “army strikes”, the preventative measures would be similarly cyberattacks - something NATO members have refrained from for the most part even as a response.

A preventative measure could be e.g. getting knowledge of a planned attack, and NATO responding by preemptively hacking the local grid, network hubs etc., to ensure that the attack can’t happen.

To streaming?

Never.

Streaming is a finite market that is already covered. The moment old money (aka existing media companies) jumped on it, it was done for.

“Not in open war”

Yeah sure if you don’t consider constant interference into other countries’ internal matters, constant hacking attempts (many of which were successful and quite damaging), and other cyber attacks, not to mention actual attacks on foreign soil (dare I remind y’all about the Salisbury incident?)…

Sorry but what Russia is doing is NOT a cold war, just because it happens in “cyberspace”.

There’s a very simple explanation to every “how is (niche technological thing) not more popular?” questions, and that is simply… Most people are perfectly happy with the defaults.

Don’t take this Fediverse instance and the people who interact with it as an example. Even Reddit’s tech subs are very niche serving, most of the responders will be people who live and die with tech… which does NOT represent the great majority of people.

Said great majority is perfectly happy with their phones as is. The default keyboard is 99% of the time perfectly usable. So people don’t even feel a need to change. Therefore niche keyboards will have very little popularity. Even big ones like SwiftKey.

Plot twist: Jerome is with his wife at the “cinema”

Based on this, Trump was old by the time he turned 20

No, the next step is panko/breadcrumbs.

And after three strikes, you dunk him in hot oil.

To be fair I never imagined that “eat the rich” (or in this case, eat the Reich) would turn out Kentucky Fried, but I’m all for it.

I’m generally pro-AI but I still think the disclosure is nice to have and should not be removed.

People have a right to informed decisions. If they want a product that had “no AI” in its making (although let’s be honest, a game might not contain AI generated audiovisual assets, but a form of AI, even generative AI, is almost guaranteed to have been used during the creation of the game), they can vote with their wallets.
