Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
Ask them to unlock their phone and give it to you. Chances are, you'll quickly find out they have things they'd like to hide.

I'm an AI software engineer and I predict that most AI startups being funded today will die
It's not that hard to predict, given that ~90% of startups fail.

Why would anyone want to be a moderator?
I think it's similar to politics. Some people want to use privileges that the position provides for their own benefit, while others want to do good things and bring their ideas to life.

Linux Distro
You know, every Linux distro has its own unique charm, and I love that about the Linux ecosystem. But there's something incredibly rewarding about being able to build your operating system, piece by piece, tailored to your needs, like fitting together pieces of a puzzle. And that's exactly what Arch lets you do!
Arch Linux comes with a 'bare minimum' base and allows you to add on top of that. It means no bloatware, no unwanted apps. It's like building your dream home, starting from the foundation, and adding only what you love and need. You are in full control, and there's no 'standard' package set that determines what your system should look like.🏗️
Then comes the famed rolling release model, which means updates are continuous, and you never have to reinstall or jump through hoops to upgrade to the latest and greatest. It's like being on a river that's constantly moving, keeping you on the cutting edge of software development. ⏩
The package manager, Pacman, is another gem, making package management simple and efficient. And did I mention the AUR (Arch User Repository)? It's a treasure trove that contains pretty much every piece of software you could need, and if it's not there, you can package it yourself and share it with the community! 📦👥
I know, some people might say Arch can be demanding, especially for beginners. And yes, there's a learning curve, but isn't that true for anything worth doing? With the Arch Wiki by your side (it's nothing short of an encyclopedia, really! 📚), the learning becomes a journey, an adventure!
In a nutshell, Arch Linux gives you freedom, full control, keeps you at the forefront of software releases, and offers you a vibrant community to learn from and contribute to. So, why not take the plunge and give it a try? It's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything else. 🚀

Denuvo plans to offer independent benchmarks in an attempt to prove its DRM doesn't cause performance problems

Why are they so desperate to be liked by users?
I think either games with Denuvo sell worse, or it's just the bad image that affects their ability to sell Denuvo to more publishers and developers.

Any ideas why AM has been struggling with pace recently? Are they slower now with recent updates? Or have others become faster?

Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
Reply in thread
Indeed, it's quite rare to find someone who isn't concerned about their photos, messages, and other sensitive information potentially being leaked online. Good for you, though I don't believe it's representative. Even so, there are potential risks to consider. With the right information, someone could manipulate, blackmail, or coerce you without you even realizing it. Our brains are subject to numerous biases, making us susceptible to subtle manipulations. Knowing your traits and preferences allows one to tailor a persuasive message specifically to you. This strategy can be used to sell you anything, from a mobile phone to a politician. The implications of such tactics are significant, potentially affecting billions of people.

But if your photos leak, your colleagues could see them. Someone can blackmail you. Or do that using any other sensitive information.

You're either happy, because they're fast, or you're entertained, because of what they're doing. That's a win-win situation!

Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?
During my time on reddit, I've learnt to appreciate downvotes. Silent feedback is much better than passive-aggressive replies that serve no purpose other than letting the person vent out.

You're simplifying the issue down to a set of abstract photos that you claim not to care about, ignoring the broader implications. This tells me that you may not fully understand the complexity of our world, the ease with which you can be manipulated, and the potential consequences of such manipulation. The irony lies in the fact that you are essentially replacing my argument:

With your own:
Being afraid that Google had a rouge dick pic that might leak with thousands of others is absurd.
Then declaring it absurd. But in fact, it was your argument, not mine, that you characterized as such :)

How often do you brush your teeth?
I'm surprised by how many people do that after every meal. Is it good for enamel?

Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?
So far so good, I see less toxicity than on big social media. I guess there are not enough people yet, I see mostly enthusiasts who are excited that they're building something new. Perhaps because of that the probability of seeing or getting some unpleasant comments is lower. But I'm also quite picky in what posts I read, something related to Elon Musk or Threads doesn't interest me.
