Seems to be a weather map or somesuch. Ironically it’s also a Macbook, not a Windows machine.

He nailed the look, though, I have to give him that. It’s the nineteenth century magnate look, on which cartoon villains were obviously based.

Sure, but the developer account costs about two and a half Doordash pizzas (which every USian orders every day for some unfathomable reason, judging by the incessant complaining on Reddit), and to my understanding signing can be automated.

how many games do apparently run natively

From what I understand, indie devs mostly just check a box in their engine’s build script to compile the game for MacOS. It’s rather the big boys who always have trouble porting their games anywhere due to bespoke engines, anticheat or whatnot. And also sim racing devs for some reason, those never support anything but Windows — even though Feral has ported F1 games to Mac and they worked fine.

Apple doesn’t support Vulcan (or the support is outdated, idk exactly), and expects devs to use Metal instead. Which they don’t. So outside of small indie games, people gaming on Mac likely boot Windows anyway, or at least that’s how it was ten years ago — the situation might’ve changed with the M* processors, in that I’m not sure Windows runs on them.

There’s a nootropic that’s made out of contents of horse stomachs, and the mechanism of its workings isn’t quite known. Likewise, I’m baffled as to the process of the discovery.

Everyone in the West cheered when Visa and MasterCard cut Russia off their processing by their own initiative. Now in the past year Europeans suddenly realized what this might mean, and are clamoring for a pan-European payment processor. While Russia already had one of their own for ages.

Put this prompt into ChatGPT (e.g. on duck.ai), then try talking to it. This turns the pandering bullshit off, though of course veracity of its ‘knowledge’ remains in question.

(People say that some more concise and less masturbatory prompts also work, but I don’t follow discussions of that.)

Plenty of companies have been founded by former university researchers based on discoveries they’ve made while at said universities. Seems like nothing prevents those folks from patenting the newfound methods for themselves.

Or, they will license the technology to a big manufacturer. Seeing as the University of Oxford is probably ill-equipped to produce industrial amounts of yeast.

Sounds like the botting was the problem, not the AI-generated tracks. He could’ve done the same with sounds of nature or some other shit like that.

Clickbait is strong with this post.

The UK seemingly got some cool nerds in the government: the gov.uk sites were regarded as the golden standard of design and accessibility in the 2010s, idk about currently. Commercial designers straight up studied gov.uk’s design guidelines to see how a job like that should be done.

Oh indeed, all journalists around the world should receive NSA training, then no regular user would ever suffer inconvenience to ensure their security: they would simply be cannon fodder for the police tracking their location around the clock and scammers vacuuming their contact info, no big deal.

That’s nice. Now please evaluate the statistical utility of the CEO of an independent opposition-aligned media outlet, like Galina Timchenko, or journalist like Jamal Khashoggi, against an average phone user.

Yeah that was weird, idk when that person last looked at their options regarding search.

TBF the dropdown usually requires fiddling with the mouse, while keywords for search engines allow sticking with the keyboard. Since I use the sites regularly, it’s no problem for me to remember the keywords.

Any one of these methods is better than going to the site front page each time.

Could you please point me as to where I pay Google for my site to be higher in the search results? Unless, of course, you mean the ads.

Oh really, so the Pegasus attacks on Galina Timchenko and dozens of other people, including Jamal Khashoggi, never happened? Or, do you seriously not understand that the impact on one journalist is greater than on thousands of nobodies like you?

Google could’ve implemented better measures to circumvent bugging, like iPhones’ ‘lockdown’ mode, but claiming that infecting with spyware never happens on Android is plain disingenuous and idiotic.

Companies pay for google to show up high in search results.

Do you mean the ads? Or, if you mean the search results themselves, where do I pay Google to get my site higher in the results?

Your wish is fulfilled. Google now requires the government id, full biometrics and shared gps location to publish apps in the store.
