Other options exist; you don’t have to buy either. Volkswagen Group, Audi, Renault, BMW, Fiat etc all make EVs in Europe. Hyundai & Kia also both make excellent EVs.
Buying a Tesla is a choice these days. Nobody trips and falls into Tesla ownership. And although those cheap Chinese manufacturers look mighty tempting, they’re not the only alternative out there.
I’m not exactly a US constitutional lawyer, but I’m willing to bet that snuff films aren’t protected by the First Amendment.
Quakers were
Are. They’re still around. Still a relatively big minority Christian group in the UK.
Still everyone’s favourite Christian denomination. Cool bunch.
Local/national banks with their bankcards and payment platforms
I don’t know what it’s like where you’re from, but here in the UK all banks use Visa, MasterCard or Amex for their bank cards.
How the fuck do you know my PIN number?!
If only the biggest problem was messages starting “I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said:”
A far bigger problem is people using AI to draft text and then posting it as their own. On social media like this, I can’t count the number of comments I’ve encountered midway through an otherwise normal discussion thread, and only clocked 2 paragraphs in that I’m reading a chat bot’s response. I feel like I’ve had time and braincells stolen from me in the deception for the moments spent reading and attempting to derive meaning from it.
And just this week I received an application from someone wanting work in my office which was very clearly AI generated. Obviously that person will not be offered any work. If you can’t be bothered to write your own “why I want to work here” cover letter, then I can’t be bothered to work with you.
Unfortunately it’s a combination lock, and the code is written on a post-it stuck on the front of the drawer.
Don’t forget Tizen too; MeeGo’s other bastard offspring.
I think Tizen is still around?
Maybe I’m just tired at the end of a long day, but I’m also completely unable to parse that headline. Somebody’s mum is fingering what now?
maybe turn the three sisters
Two of the three precogs were boys, by the way.
That’s encryption in a nutshell. A message is encrypted until it reaches its destination, and then by necessity is unencrypted in order to read it. Once your recipient has the unencrypted message, you don’t have any control over what happens to it.
Fundamentally, if you don’t trust the recipient (or their system provider), no amount of encryption will protect your message.
FFIX is my favourite FF game (yeah, fight me on it), which means this news is either very good or very bad depending on how the remake ends up.
trying to tell us that in a couple years we’ll have a full-on AI film
To be fair, he never said it would be any good.
We need a US Community on Revolt too not just Lemmy
Never heard of it before.
What’s the elevator pitch?
“We don’t like the proposed new Coke recipe, so we’re switching to drinking raw undiluted sewage instead”.
There’s a direct quote from the company.
According to a statement sent to The Verge by Eddie Garcia on behalf of Nintendo, it says preorders will no longer begin on April 9th:
“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
I’m also in Europe.
Presumably the same tariffs will apply to PlayStations and Xboxes too (both made in China with components from Korea, and the former being a Japanese company).
Also, most PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
American gamers aren’t going to be overwhelmed with cheaper choices.
They’re definitely creatively stale, but they’re also undeniably good at what they do. They have by far the best selling console of the last generation, and are the only console company to consistently post healthy profits on their operation.
Is it a bit naff that their next generation of games will almost certainly be yet another Zelda, yet another Mario, yet another Pokémon? Absolutely. But if their next Zelda game is yet another best-selling critically acclaimed success, who are we to say that they’ve got the wrong approach?
Depends what you’re after. I’m a Thunderbird user, but if user friendliness is the aim then Geary is quite good.
All Discover is is a graphical front end to your repositories, so the real question is “is everything in my repositories safe?”.
There are no guarantees in life, but if you’re using only the default official Debian repos you’re just about as safe as you can get. If you add extra repos, whether deb based or flatpak, Discover will only be as safe as whatever you’ve hooked it up to.
