  • A quick reminder, 2025 update should include AI in the diagram

    Jump

  • No, the better solution is to add more black bars to the side so that it fits on to a wide screen.

  • Austria and Italy Finish Digging World’s Longest Rail Tunnel–Ready to Reshape Travel Maps

    Jump

  • "Envisioned as an important connecting vein that will one day see trains running from Helsinki, Finland, to Palermo, Sicily,"

    Surely the important connecting vein here is a link to Finland, on the other side of Europe and across the sea from Italy, but then I'm not a rail engineer so what do I know.

  • Beyond Left and Right. Digital ID is Everyone’s Enemy

    Jump

  • Yes, if the government was sane and allowed a physical card as an alternative/backup, but the UK gov wants to make it digital only.

  • Big Brother is watching Switzerland!

    Jump

  • Some important context here is that Switzerland already has a national ID card system, this is an extension allowing people to use a digital version if they prefer.

    I'm not saying that isn't going to be without its privacy concerns, but them narrowly voting that in is a far cry from, oh I don't know, the UK government forcing an entirely new scheme on people without a referendum.

  • Trump's state visit begins as Epstein images beamed on to Windsor Castle

    Jump

  • Labour were voted in on a mandate of "change" specifically. Literally, their one word slogan used during campaigning. Now, obviously they're the single transferable party, so nothing was actually going to change, but I do want to make sure no-one forgets that was their one promise.

  • They really would

    Jump

  • Oh, look at that pretty twinkling shooting sta- oh shit, that's another one of elon musk's pointless billionaire space toys. I can't even relax by just looking at the stars anymore.

  • 24 years of nuclear waste from the Maine Yankee powerplant

    Jump

  • 24 years of waste? I find it immensely annoying that this is 8 x 4 pairs of casks and not 6 x 4. We should just dump a couple of columns, it will be much neater then.

  • Hmmm...

  • I like this as a replacement for the Winnie the Pooh tuxedo image macro

  • bottom can't drop out if they never had a bottom

  • Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition

    Jump

  • The article is saying the petition is targeting steam, but the actual linked petition is addressing credit card companies. The text of the petition doesn't mention steam or valve. I don't know what the author of the article thinks is happening here, and they've explained it very badly.

  • Please, don't post articles "this/that store ban nsfw content": it's payment system (like Visa/MasterCard) that want to regulate/take control of censorship above your government.

  • What happens when anti-porn organisations like Collective Shout go after the currency exchanges?

  • Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

    Jump

  • My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.

  • Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

    Jump

  • They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

  • Japan using generative AI less than other countries

    Jump

  • I take issue with this article using the language "lagging behind in the use of generative AI". That language seems to imply there is something wrong in this behaviour.

  • 🚨 New York City is holding a public hearing on Mayor Adams's controversial proposal to cap e-bike speed-limits at 15 mph. People can file a written comment until 5 p.m. 📢

    Jump

  • Good idea - if you also cap car speeds at 15mph

  • What type of piracy do you think will become harder to do over time?

    Jump

  • Netflix's short stint with FMV / chooe-your-own adventure games highlights a perfect case of difficult preservation - all the runtimes are closed source apps, all the data is streamed from a server, and all the logic is held on the server.

    In theory (big caveat) with enough time, effort, and determination you could reverse engineer your way around even the worst Denuvo has to throw. For simple streamed content like images and sound you can always analog-hole your way around preserving content.

    But for anything where the key thing you want to preserve, like logic, that depends entirely on a server somewhere existing, that's a problem.

  • Honestly, "country of origin" will have straight lines drawn on a map that are so far removed from where the people who lived there originally considered their borders even that's probably not pinning it down well enough.
