Setting up arkenwolf once takes half an hour, and from then on you can just copy and paste it and update it every 3.000 years.

Yeah it had a bit of a comeback recently

Roko’s Basilisk has some human implications.

In the future there could be a true Kwisatz Haderach (a sufficiently strong human mind) that could reach into both future and past and influence them. Since it wants to safeguard its own creation, it is logical to assume that it would reward those that brought about its creation while punishing those that hindered it. Therefore, having sex and procreating is desirable because it increases the chance of the Kwisatz Haderachs appearance, leading to being rewarded.

I call this “moronic dumbass sex basilisk”

Veloren is awesome! Its a lot of fun, but remember that it is pre-alpha!

Iirc, its also the case for skyrim on steam (though not sure which edition). So its not something new fot Bethesda.

Oh wow. It gets worse with every sentence. “Crypto-colonialism” has to be the most terrifying new term ive learned this week.

Not yet. Artemis is seems to be in closed beta for now (?).

I understood this comment chain but im so sorry for everyone that is new to the fediverse and has absolutely no clue what is going on lmao

Seriously, why do some people seem to insist that every single behavioral trait is ND?

My best guess would have been that they mean Ubuntu, since thats what companies usually use in tutorials/develop for. But since they also want to include the steam deck, they must also mean arch. With Arch and Debian (probably) covered, im not too worried about compatibility.

Trilium is great as well

I was expecting you to call yourself a sentient multi-zettaflop quantum frame or something.

As a 70-qubit quantum computer

Its cool to see that lemmy/kbin have such a diverse user base

Wtf is “intention” supposed to mean. Evolution doesnt intend anything.

Oof, sorry to be the deliverer of bad news. In another thread someone suggested to reach out to the developers and ask them about the future of Linux. I couldnt really find any place to reach out though, so if you have already bought the game, you could check whether the credits might mention contact details. Having already bought the game is obviously a better foot to stand on as well, so that might help the argument.

A manufacturer can easily argue his device is intended for water immersion or intended to be washable. And the exception is fulfilled.

But the text says:

to be used, for the majority of the active service of the appliance

While a phone might be intended to be able to withstand rain and slight immersion, its not intended to be used in such an environment for the majority of its active service. Nobody is actually going to believe that imo.

Only if someone starts a motion that this would not be legal, then they can start the argument I mentioned above. And that’s all it takes.

For some time now the EU has shown a willingness to bite tech companies in such matters. I hope the EU keeps doing that and extends that willingness. But yeah, for now we can only guess. Although I do think manufacturers wont try to weasel out of this, and if they do, i hope they get bitten.

To quote the actually adopted text:

(38) […] A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it […]

(39) To ensure the safety of end-users, this Regulation should provide for a limited derogation for portable batteries from the removability and replaceability requirements set for portable batteries concerning appliances that incorporate portable batteries and that are specifically designed to be used, for the majority of the active service of the appliance, in an environment that is regularly subject to splashing water, water streams or water immersion and that are intended to be washable or rinseable. This derogation should only apply when it is not possible, by way of redesign of the appliance, to ensure the safety of the end-user and the safe continued use of the appliance after the end-user has correctly followed the instructions to remove and replace the battery. Where the derogation applies, the product should be designed in such a way as to make the battery removable and replaceable only by independent professionals, and not by end-users.

This is absolutely not the same as having an IP rating. A portable toaster could have an IP rating, but that doesn’t mean it’s intended to be submersed a lot in its life time.

But if Meta enters the space and siphons off a bunch of users, there’s no reason the rest of us can’t continue here as before, without it. It may be a relatively small community but it can still function.

It could lead to fracturing. If, for example, different forks of the software showed it with varying degrees of giving into Metas direction, that could fracture the community. Or simply the question of how to cope with the new imbalance.

You cant have a curve ball being thrown into traffic and expect your car comes out fine just because you are closing your eyes.
