While heavily reworked through the years, I am continually amazed what they manage to do with World of Warcraft. Doesn’t look much like it used to, but as it’s all on the same engine, it’s really impressive.

Not quite correct. A Backpfeife is a slap with the open hand, not a punch with a fist. But it sure does apply to Kyle either way.

It’s fine. The PCI-e is another one for a graphics card that requires more connectors to be attached.

Not sure why so many people here comment that your communication style is vague.

Both instructions and issue are clear. Send product after notification was sent via mail. Colleague did that and aso sent the mail again, which had already been sent.

Why people are talking about the product being sent as the issue in thus scenario is beyond me.

As for a solution: Let them repeat back to you what they’re supposed to do in their own words to verify you’re both on the same page, before the do what they need to do.

If you have tried this unsuccessfully, I have no further suggestions without a whole lot more detail except for: ask theco worker in question how they would have phrased the task if they had given it to someone else. Try and learn what their style of communication is and adjust for that particular colleague.

I really like the genre, I am mostly sad it’s mainly very short ones with a single season. Would love something longer again like SAO. But I also don’t watch a lot to begin with

I mean, they’re profitable for the first time since 2018. Not least thanks to a huge amount of cost cutting the past two or three years. This is more of that.

Usually it’s the same users who always come into discussions in bad faith and simply argue against whatever is being said. There are a few people I have had blocked for months now and my experience as improved a lot.

My only gripe is, that I can still see them in my threads in the unread messages of kbin, and that kinda sucks.

But since the community at large is fairly small, it’s not super difficult to eliminate the constant gripers and argumentative folks from your experience.

I am om the product side of things and have created some basic proof of concept tools with AI that my bosses wanted to sell off. No way no how will I be able to sevrice or maintain them. It’s incredibly impressive that I could even get this output.

I am not saying it won’t become possible, but I lack the fundamental knowledge and understanding to make anything beyond the most minor adjustments and AI is still wuite bad at only addressing specific issues or, good forbid, expanding code, without fully rewriting the whole thing and breaking everything else.

For our devs I see it as a much improved and less snide stackoverflow and Google. The direct conversational nature really speeds things up with boilerplate code and since they actually know what they are doing, it’s amazing. Not only that but we had devs copy paste from online searches withoout fully understanding the snippets. Now the AI can explain it in context.

Bet you, every single one of the cunts pushing for this would have to immediately be convicted under the very same laws.

Awesome, thanks for the pointers! I’ll look into it.

How are you digitizing BluRays? I’ve not found a way yet due to the DRM on those fuckers.

This is modern alchemy trying to turn lead into gold. Just change the meaning of the magic words et voilá you make gold while the other party is robbed blind and can’t do anything about it after the fact.

And of course, it’s totally legal and totally cool.

There already is federation of deletion. It’s not even something that needs to be implemented.

I have less of a defeatist attitude about privacy. Same way I don’t think absitence is the only true way of contraconception. Privacy, yes, even if public spaces is possible. It’s not easy, it won’t just happen, but it is achievable. Needs a lot of work from a lot of people, but it is doable.

I don’t expect you to change your mind on that.

Yes, and my point is, that the person running an instance has to comply with the gdpr if they are within the EU.

It doesn’t matter if data has already been propagated somewhere else. On that instance, data needs to be able to be fully deleted. For the matter of deletion, it is irrelevant where the data might have been pushed or mirrrored to, that is a seperate issue, which still needs to be dealt with. But one cannot argue that deleting is pointless or needn’t be implemented, just because “public” data is already mirrored elsewhere. The people running “elsewhere” have their own compliance to deal with.

Reddit still has to ensure what is deleted on their end, is actually deleted (which they don’t, as we saw during the whole protest thing with delted comments being restored)

The fact that archive websites exist doesn’t change that. A request under gdpr to such a site would have to result in deletion as well.

Sure someone who doesn’t host or specifically target EU citizens can ignore it at their leisure, but I doubt every Lemmy instance is hosted somewhere in non EU areas.

You are slightly wrong. The GDPR applies to everyone dealing with personal data on the regular, which you always have to assume with open text boxes. There have been plenty rulings already imposing fines on individual, private citizens for their misconduct in violation of the gdpr.

While Lemmy as a system might be exempt, anyone running Lemmy for sure isn’t, as long as it regularly processes data of EU citizens, which it does.

As for the devs, the gdpr does require privacy by design. One could argue the Devs themselves aren’t running it at all, so their software doesn’t have to adhere to it, but individual instance hosts could still be hit with fines for running it as is.

Yes, it is about control. Companies like meta with near infinite resources made their money by exploiting the ever living fuck out of data the vast majority of people to this day do not understand to have any value at all despite the evidence of not just one but multiple trillion dollar companies existing soley due to the exploitation of this kind of data.

I am done with being sold to, having my data harvested, being gaslit, being spied on, seeing these companies avoid the shit out of any consequences for their actions, etc.

Ooh, but it is open, if they wanted to scrape the data they just could! Yes, and it would be fucking illegal under frameworks like the Gdpr. If they join the system though? Wells then they have a legal basis again yo just keep tracking you. Not only that, they avoid further sanctioning by being able up show that they work on interoperability, without investing anything at all, simply by exploiting Foss software.

Ooh, but individuals can block instances, no need to defederate on an instance level! Sure and most people won’t know about it or how to do it or just not care enough and get to enjoy being abused by these companies yet again in a space specifically chosen for not being that.

Oh, I don’t see a way they could possibly exploit this or extinguish it! Cool. I bet their lawyers, psychologists, experts in every field imagineable that has anything to do with using data and driving engagement are exactly as stumped about it as a random user out here. Bet they couldn’t possibly have a plan because we don’t see one.

Anyone who has even an ounce of trust that meta and all these other exploiters will not find a way to ruin activitypub, has not paid attention in the last 20 years of internet service development.

Activitypub as a technology will survive this. The fediverse as an alternative to these utter monsters of companies might very well not.

Imperor - mostly long videos playing and teaching Paradox games (currently mainly Crusader Kings 3), but the guy has that kind of voice I like to have just running in the background for comfort, so that works out. Recently started to do some interesting DND/TTRPG stuff as well like little guides for DMs and even quests to put into games. Also looks at smaller games from time to time during steam next fests and such.

I also remeber the plague of malvertising with drive by viruses and Trojans. I haven’t had a single positive virus on my systems in over a decade thanks to adblockers.

It’s insane, because the internet looked entirely different as well. Not these monolithic sites but scattered around.

Excuse me, why is this an 12 hour video?
