The patents have expired everywhere except USA, Brazil and Malaysia.
This is a blatant money grab before they expire everywhere.

The people I know that use BlueSky just wanted Twitter without Musk. It wasn’t much more complicated than that and BlueSky has provided that.
Adding AI is very Musk-like so I’m not surprised there’s backlash.


Also, vaccines work in the exact same way as exposure to live viruses. The difference is that the vaccine can’t cause an infection because it’s either a dead or disabled version of the virus. Anti-vax people don’t seem to get this.
And, some people think that their body’s reaction to the vaccine means that the vaccine made them sick. It’s normal to have flu symptoms with the flu vaccine. Your body fights it the same way That’s intentional. It’s how your immune system builds a defense against the virus.


Amazing how much they will try to bend reality to their conception rather than the other way around. It’s a mental illness


But, if you’re a CEO, and lawyer tells you, “no, the contract is solid. Honor it,” what are you to do? Why, ask an agreeable LLM for an answer that conforms to your world view because, obviously, you’re right because you’re the CEO.


I loved Subnautica. I’ve replayed it more than any game I own. I got it for free from Epic (the only way I get games from Epic). I bought it for Switch. I bought Below Zero. The franchise was shaping to be a “here, take my money” deal.
I don’t want Subnautica 2. I mean, I want a Subnautica 2 not Krafton Subnautica 2.
I reserve some blame for the original owners/devs. If they hadn’t sold out, if they had followed more of a Hello Games model, they could’ve coasted indefinitely churning out cool games to loyal fans.




There have several reports recently of Netflix pressuring writers/directors/producers to create shows and movies tailored to distracted consumers. Basically, telling them to repeat plot points in dialog so that people ‘watching’ while doing other things can keep up.
I’d put that in the evil category along with advertising and media company consolidation.


This will be a glorious failure.


Fucking delusional twat. Either he’s on some serious drugs or this is some PR bullshit made to sound like he’s genuinely worried that Nobel laureate-level AI is right around the corner so that people will throw more money into his pocket company. Or both, could be both. But, I think he’s simply an asshole.


The only thing I respect about Tim Sweeney is that he has enough money to buy better looks but still looks like that. I mean, yeah, he looks like an insufferable dork/prick but he could afford to look like an insufferable dork/prick with hair, designer clothes and roided physique.


Oh, are we doing thin clients, again?
I think once a generation thin clients come up as a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.


For iPhones, Find My only works powered off by Bluetooth connections to other devices. Unless someone is scanning and tracking Bluetooth radios, they can’t track you.
The vulnerability in the article is about apps that send location data back to a third party who makes it available to law enforcement.
Mainly, this is a problem for people who give any random app access to location data.


HBO execs are letting out a sigh of relief.


“Let’s take the most recognizable software package name and make it something totally divorced from what the software is supposed to be for.”
There are probably people for whom Microsoft Office is the only desktop software that they use. There are probably many people in procurement that are going to scratch their heads and think twice about signing off on something that sounds like a flight simulator.
This is an opportunity for alternate office suites.


I would say, “never trust a CEO who wears a leather jacket.”
I’ve know plenty of bikers, punks, artists, etc that wear a leather jacket. But, a CEO in one stinks of, “hello there, fellow plebs.”


6.5 hours per day every weekend does not seem reasonable or healthy to me.
Hell, if someone was exercising that much or fishing or knitting or any hobby, it wouldn’t seem healthy. Once in a while, sure. But, not every weekend.
