It’s not really static. It’s digital, the transmission scheme has structure. It’s only the transmitted data that is encrypted, but you’d have to first unpack the transmission to get to the data.

Hacker News is currently drowning in “I did something with AI” posts.

When I look at some generic instance’s unfiltered feed all I see is posts about USA/Trump. I can see how this might deter a lot of Europeans who are looking for alternatives to Reddit.

Should be most of the Lemmy instances, but it’s missing the 2k monthly active users on PieFed.

that quality seems to keep getting better and better

It doesn’t. It’s the same people who keep posting the same lame memes as always.

I’m presented the same shit over and over again.

Do you sort by active? Use hot or scaled instead.

It doesn’t have to be different, but if it isn’t why would Paramount be interested in making it? TNG and DS9 overlapped and were different, same with DS9 and VOY. But TNG and VOY were also very different. I suppose if someone would come up with a cool idea for a Una spin-off that is not just a direct continuation of SNW there might be a chance. Personally I’d be more interested in something set after TNG/Lower Decks to get away from the TOS era, and also stay away from the DIS 32nd century stuff.

How would a Captain Una spin-off differ from SNW?

I don’t have high hopes for Academy, it’s basically a Discovery spin-off.

This is the way.

Be worried, it is made by Deck Nine. Dontnod has nothing to do with Life is Strange anymore.

No, haven’t read them, but I know that both decisions are canon. Life is Strange 2 already dealt with it. But I think including Chloe as a character in a game in some meaningful way that will make fans happy while respecting that both options are canon is harder than whatever the comics did. I doubt Deck Nine is capable of properly handling this.

Oh, looks like the rumors were true. I’m not sure I want Chloe back. It could’ve been handled a little better in Double Exposure, but she couldn’t ever really be an integral part of the game, not unless the developers decided which decision in the original Life is Strange is canon. I doubt that the fans that only care about Max + Chloe are ever going to be satisfied with whatever decision the developers take. Also fuck Deck Nine.

Yep, the junior is capable of learning.

Writing code with an AI as an experienced software developer is like writing code by instructing a junior developer.

And/or they get bought by the competition.

Moving HQ to murica is usually done because of venture capitalists having it as a requirement for funding. If EU based startups want to be successful without it they require either funding from european VCs or figure out how to do compete without VC money.

Anytime ;)

I’m wondering who’s house Riker wants to get out of.

I don’t really see that happen. It would mean developers (or crappy AI code generators) would have to write efficient code for the low-powered client devices. The web is basically already other people’s computers and look how memory hungry browsers are, or maybe more specifically the websites/apps that run in the browsers.
