Technically SJW is bilingual French/English but apart from announcements it’s basically all in English here (which is disappointing, I’m trying to learn French, anyone know of a French meme community?)

No, that’s Florida.

Even all the way back in 2021, an internal study by Twitter — as X used to be called before Elon Musk bought and rebranded the platform — found that its algorithms promote more right-leaning content than left.

(Except from article cited in above paragraph):

Twitter’s research said that Germany was the only country that didn’t experience the right-leaning algorithm bias. It could be related to Germany’s agreement with Facebook, Twitter, and Google to remove hate speech within 24 hours.

Huh. Sounds like things got really bad quickly for German Twits. Did the hate speech policy get rescinded when Musk took over? Also, I wonder if TikTok got worse after whatever deal they made to keep operating in the US - anecdotally I’ve heard US feeds have been pushing more alt-right content since then.

What’s worth playing on Xbox 360 that’s not more easily accessible through Steam or GOG? I stuck to PlayStation back then because I was mostly interested in RPGs, so I’m not really sure what’s worth checking out (and yeah, I still need to play Mass Effect, even if the last game was controversial - but that’s definitely better on Steam or GOG).

Edit: minor rephrase

In the 00s there were these special walkie-talkies that would set up an independent mesh network to communicate without cell service or internet connectivity. That was more peer to peer than federation, I guess, but it’s a pretty cool invention that was only used to send messages between Barbie coloured pieces of plastic.

Meshtastic is trying to do something similar right now, I’m not sure how much Barbie colored plastic is involved though. I wonder what kind of tech those were using, I’ve never heard of it before and Google isn’t being helpful.

… Wait, are you taking about Cybiko? I wanted one of those when I was a kid even though I didn’t know anyone who had one and didn’t live somewhere with the density to really use the tech.

I’m running Bazzite on a laptop with an Nvidia GPU. Steam Big Picture mode still doesn’t consistently work on Nvidia. It’s not a big deal imo, and I can’t think of anything else that’s still broken on Nvidia, but AMD is right there and it’s worth supporting them just because of less bullshit. Also RGB compatibility with openrgb can be hit or miss on consumer laptops (ugh, Acer).

That is amazing

Might be helpful if the guy lost his phone at a party or something.

For the monument to your hubris, maybe make it a space elevator too? Also satellites can totally get around your enormous shining dong, it won’t successfully clear LEO like you hope.

On Bazzite, and I use Heroic. It’s great for GOG and Epic store games.

Does Jimmy Carter’s ghost have some unfinished business?

My roommate mentioned the app a few days ago before this was in the news and I found out earlier this evening that her and her girlfriend are both using it. This is (at least somewhat) real.

I tried, it’s not detecting anything. I get the pop-up about SMBus but I don’t think that’s relevant here? And I found a thread on r/openRGB about my specific laptop but the mods closed the thread before the poster got any help. There’s a Lemmy community but based on the locked thread on Reddit I really get the impression they don’t want to help.

EDIT: It’s possible Acer did something scummy with this laptop, I’ve found some interesting projects reverse-engineering Acer’s crap software to work on Linux and a lot of dead ends and at least one conversation about flashing the bios which no thank you, lol. Also a funny conversation on GitLab “By the way, the link you’ve provided is my Github 😄”. I’ve looked into this before and after about a half hour I decide I don’t care about RGB enough for even the half hour I’d already spent.

companion software for RGB

Yeah, that’s the one thing I lost when switching to Bazzite. I’m on an Acer Predator and I’m stuck with auto fan controls (which work fine) and I can’t customize RGB. There’s options to replace the Predator Sense program to get that working on Linux but I just don’t care enough to mess with it.

Which stadium does his current subscriber count fill now?

Vim or Emacs?
