Requesting control of c/gamedev
  • Good idea, you have my support

  • Capacitive controls could be the cause of a spate of VW ID.4 crashes
  • They have them since a long time, and the touchpads are really nice!

  • The end of Israel’s economy
  • It is good to be against a genocidal wannabe-empire. Everyone should be "anti-Israel"

  • The art critic
  • You need to be less butthurt or leave the shitpost community.

  • The Galaxy Z Fold 6’s battery is so small that a flip phone just beat it
  • Given that HONOR is Chinese, they must have cut corners elsewhere. It is entirely impossible that Samsung, the second largest technology company in the world and the most advanced consumer electronics manufacturer, seated in South Korea, is beaten by a Chinese company.

  • Malware As A Service
  • I genuinely can't tell at whom you are addressing this. Those claiming it is a Windows problem or those that say otherwise?

  • Elon Musk's X pushes Trump tags on all US users
  • Just a few days ago, it was shown that Tesla's FSD is being specially trained on influencer's routes to make it appear better in their videos and experience, without them even knowing.

  • “Excellence, respect, friendship”: Why hijab bans in French sports defy Olympic values and human rights Why hijab bans in French sports defy Olympic values and human rights
  • Hijab is a symbol of the oppression of women in the Arab world. It is good that they are outlawed for the Olympics

  • I can't see any pixels :(
  • One time, my camera/view position in the URL was way off, like, outside of the bounds of the canvas. Maybe navigating to the plain canvas.fediverse.events site will help. If not, make sure that you do not have any JavaScript disabled.

  • England - Spain (21:00, Berlin)
  • Game got really interesting in the second half. Great job Spain and England

  • [Lemmy] The response on Lemmy to the shooting yesterday has been a real test of character, and so many of y'all have failed
  • You do not have to fight me, I principally believe in the same values as you (at least I think so, from what little I know about you). It is true that "condoning murder as political expression" is a slippery slope and kind of a "leopards eating people's faces" situation, but if you do not reserve the act of killing as an emergency option, you and your values will eventually disappear. This is the reason why every meaningful nation still has a military, and why many European democracies are again investing billions into armaments after decades of demilitarisation. Just shouting at people while they kill you will make sure that they can successfully kill you.

  • [Lemmy] The response on Lemmy to the shooting yesterday has been a real test of character, and so many of y'all have failed
  • You annihilate yourself by strictly adhering to pacifism. The harsh reality is that, yes, you sometimes have to murder people to protect yourself and the values of an enlightened society, particularly one that condemns murder, because such structures are the most prone to be attacked by people that do not share your values, and such people will always exist. In fact, when defending a free society from the loss of said freedom, murder can be the most moral option there is.

    However, I want to conclude this comment by saying that the assassination attempt on Trump may not (yet) be warranted, particularly because I do not believe that the Republicans have the actual will and political momentum to establish a dictatorship post-election. And it is particularly distressing that this incident caused the death of a wholly innocent bystander.

    Edit: changed wording from "is the most moral option" to "can be the most moral option"

  • (Major event happens) "I should post immediately without first checking if there are already 30 other posts about this"
  • Some people are just bitter and want to project that bitterness onto the rest of the world.

  • Type in Morse code by repeatedly slamming your laptop lid
  • Poor sweet little hinges 😭

  • Live Election Updates: Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shots
  • Considering that he reached for his right ear (the subsequently bleeding one) before he fell, it must've been a bullet that flew really close.

  • Live Election Updates: Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shots
  • Just wanted to post. Looks like he has a ruptured eardrum?

  • me irl
  • Maybe just being interested in science lol?

  • Linus Torvalds says RISC-V will make the same mistakes as Arm and x86
  • I'll say to you what I said to the other commentor: RISC-V is an ISA, nothing less, nothing more, and it is 100% open-source. It is not trying to be anything else. Yes, hardware implementations from processor vendors can have different licensing and be proprietary, but that is not the fault of RISC-V, nor does that have anything else to do with it. RISC-V, as an ISA, and only an ISA, is completely open-source and not liable for the bs of OEMs.

  • CVE-2024-6387 OpenSSH Server Authentication Bypass

    > A signal handler race condition was found in OpenSSH's server (sshd), where a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default, 600 in old OpenSSH versions), then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously. However, this signal handler calls various functions that are not async-signal-safe, for example, syslog().

    Have you ever been unable to pay by direct debit through PayPal?

    I recently wanted to buy a product from a manufacturer and luckily they offered PayPal as a payment method. However, after I signed into my PayPal account, it wouldn't show my bank account as a payment option and instead prompted me to add a card or bank account, despite my account being fully confirmed and direct debit activated. PayPal customer service reps told me that maybe the retailer blocked direct debit through PayPal and I should try adding a credit card, however, why would they do that if they offer non-PayPal direct debit anyway? The customer service reps further told me that my account was in good standing, so there shouldn't be any problems with trust etc. Have you ever encountered an online shop that refused direct debit when handled by PayPal?

    Linux on Microsoft Copilot+ PCs?

    Do you think it will be possible to run GNU/Linux operating systems on Microsoft's brand new "Copilot+ PCs"? The latter ones were unveiled just yesterday, and honestly, the sales pitch is quite impressive! A Verge article on them: Link

    That price may have more to do with the iPhone 15 than the Vision Pro.

    You don’t have to freak out about aspartame in your diet soda

    Aspartame being a possible carcinogen doesn’t mean what you think.

    "The IARC will reportedly classify aspartame as a possible carcinogen. But this isn’t a food safety agency, and the context matters."
