Isn’t RCS for the most part using Google services and servers? I don’t know if that really is that much better.

To my knowledge, the original idea to have RCS be operated by the mobile providers is pretty much dead.

So basically discord finally got a usable search. I count that as a win.

And I tried to open Lemmy to distract me from that fact. multiple times. I feel slightly ashamed.

That some messed up US thing i never understood. Here in germany you are anonymous by default when you win. at most it is published from what state the winner was.

That someone’s name and even address is published is so completely unimaginably absurd to me. makes no sense whatsoever.

Not that unusual. e.g. TOR started as a governement project. it was invented in the U.S. Naval Research Lab.

Most modern GPUs barely even use the full 4.0 bandwith. Hell, even 3.0 is still enough in many many situations.

ffs. maybe time the lemmy community / mods implements a kind of blacklist for shit like this. 1 or 2 strikes and perma-ban of links to it.

The article is a mess that doesn’t know what it wants and repeats itself multiple times. Almost reads like AI wrote this.

Aren’t Mastodon instances maintained by volunteers in their spare time? I can’t imagine how they manage to continue moderating it once there are ten thousand or millions of users on it. At least the moderators on Twitter were paid. It was their job. I think people massively underestimate how much work this is.

What a colossal waste…

Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi

I understand it. When I was quite young, my father was also convinced that beating was an educational method. It took him almost 30 years to apologize for it. In situations like this I tend to say “gtfo as fast as you can”, but of course that’s not always an option.

Stay strong, you still have your whole life ahead of you and it will get better.

Well that is beyond fucked up. here in germany you go to jail right away if you slap your child. Using the belt would be considered aggravated assault here and he would be gone for the next 2 years at least. It is completely insane that something like this could be legal.

I did not even knew that this exist *shrug

As subtle as a brick through a window.

Todd was cool though.

And i hope it never changes. It works. Don’t touch it!

The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault

Oh please. These pissbaby techbros wouldn’t be crying so much if they weren’t hit where it hurts. It usually takes a while for the wheels of EU bureaucracy to turn, but the following blow is all the harder for it.

As someone who is very happy to live in the EU and proud of what it has achieved so far, I can say: Fuck you Trump and your appendant ulcers!

To be honest, I hope they never do it. Because at this point it is absolutely impossible that it can live up to the hype. It will be a disappointment no matter what.

They can do other games in that universe though. They will work. I actually believe they will work better without HL3 existing.
