Or, they have a commercial interest or are paid by someone who does. Fucking losers either way

PS5 Linux lead quits as open-source projects have become “a bunch of noobs using LLMs” that “they don’t even understand”
"Slop kiddies" is a great term. Everytime I hear a non-native eng speaker proudly say they do vibe coding I cringe a little

All kindles can now be jailbroken, thanks to new jailbreak method.

Installing Koreader which can do a million things, but also playing around with terminal access, python, bash scripting, neofetch, usb-network, SSH. For older kindles: the screensaver hack was my first reason to ever jailbreak one.

Don't set your date only to 1970-01-01. Set it wildly wrong every time, lie about your gender, etc

Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road
I was interested in the "non-traditional" fps of Fury Road so here's the relevant part from wikipedia, they actually used less than 24 for most of the movie.
According to Seale, "something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate. It'll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn't understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could ... Or if it was too well understood, he'd shorten it or he'd speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense."[75] The Washington Post noted that the changing frame rate gives the film an "almost cartoonishly jerky" look.[76]

Is it not possible that how something is made also elicits emotions and thoughts?

At least most European banks are happy to cut out the American middlemen (Visa and Mastercard) since they're eating part of the cost, and we already have the infrastructure in place and working, it's called "instant SEPA bank transfer", most newer accounts offer it for free. The problem is the lack of political will to accelerate that indipendence and to stop hemorraging money (roughly 0.5% per transaction!)
Then as people learn to use it they'll hopefully also stop using Paypal (another American company) when sending money to someone, or getting tracked in general every single time they use their debit card.

Popular Shadow Library 'LibGen' Breaks Down Amidst Legal Troubles.
Apparently the issues are mostly with the outgoing download links from libgen.rs and .st (passing through libgen.lol), including the IPFS links which were being problematic in the past few months already.
Instead I just tried something from libgen.gs which is the one for comicbooks, and it's downloading fine from the direct link.
Thankfully most if not all content should be backed up on Annas-archive!

PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
Reply in thread
For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅

I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists?
Reply in thread
Many car "keys" are wireless tokens nowadays (tbf I'm not sure of the security compared to traditional keys, I only heard some brands like Kias were very easy to steal in the last few years).
Mostly we want a million buttons with tactile feedback, I'm with OP! I would also like an EV "econobox": a sensible shitty boxy lightweight car with a small LiFePo4 battery that charges fast. Spend 100$ more dollars on the charger and cooling goddammit, or make THAT upgradable!
