But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?

Won’t this cause subtle but serious issue? Kinda like how pomegranate translates to “granada” in Spanish, but when you translate “granada” back to English it translates to grenade?

How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

Lemmy has a lot more contributors and eyes digging into its codebase now compared to 2021 so I think this is very unlikely to happen.

I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won’t affect other instance.

They probably mean the .ml part.

Like other mentioned, a lot of old games sold right now actually packaged with dosbox. Some even packaged with Wine so it can run on different platforms. The real problem would be emulating current modern graphic stacks but that would be future preservists’ problem.

Imagine inheriting a GOG account originally registered by your great-great grandpa containing ungodly amount of games you can’t possibly play all of them in a lifetime.

If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

Does this mean Roblox is becoming this generation’s Second Life now?

I’m more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn’t support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox’s user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.

It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won’t kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. Not everyone will switch to Linux, but those who do must be introduced to it somehow. My first experience with Linux 18 years ago was very painful yet I eventually made the switch a few years later.

Let him go back to Windows. You already planted the idea of using Linux in his head. Next time he gets tired of windows for any reason, he knows there is an alternative and he’ll consider switching to Linux on his own.

Play with friends you say? Another game I’ll never play…

They have no incentive to optimize the Red Engine anymore since CD Projekt is moving to Unreal Engine.

Do they strip off HTTPS somehow?

Well yes, how else they can provide their services such as page caching, image optimizing, email address obfuscation, js minifications, ddos mitigation, etc unless they can see all data flowing between your server and your visitors in the clear?

Cloudflare is basically an MITM proxy. This blog post might be helpful if you want to know how mitm proxy works in general: https://vinodpattanshetti49.medium.com/how-the-mitm-proxy-works-8a329cc53fb

Remember when google was beloved by everyone back then when they’re still have “don’t be evil” motto? Cloudflare right now is like google back then: super useful, provides a lot of free services that would be expensive on other providers. But unlike google, if cloudflare go full evil in the future, the impact will be much larger because they’re an mitm proxy capable of seeing unencrypted traffics across all websites under their wing. Right now they’re serving ~30% of top 10,000 websites and growing.
