cm0002@lemy.lolOPto World News@quokk.au•Iran threatens ‘complete and utter annihilation’ of OpenAI's $30B Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi — regime posts video with satellite imagery of ChatGPT-maker's premier 1GW data center1·3 days agoWell we still have the Daedalus with asgard weapons at least
The 2 “instances” they talk about is because now MS has 2 versions of outlook on every install, “classic” and “new”. Classic is pretty much what you’re thinking, outlook you know upgraded with modern features and with a UI in line with the rest of the office suite.
“New” is also exactly what you’d probably expect. Their “new and exciting totally revamped!” Version is able to do the basics (+AI) in a “slick” white spaced to fuck UI and anything beyond that is “maybe someday” territory lol
I cannot express into words how much a loath Lemmy’s image proxying system
cm0002@lemy.lolto Technology@lemmy.world•Connected cars can be hacked, research findsEnglish11·1 month agoOh yea, I loved that white paper that came out for that because it gave me what I needed to “jailbreak” my old Jeep’s u connect and mod the shit out of it lol

It’s partly why I like having so many accounts now, it helps mitigate a future occurrence lmao

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

cm0002@lemy.lolOPto Linux@programming.dev•Linux gaming is growing! The Roblox client Sober was downloaded 1.3 million times this year.81·3 months agoYea that’s pretty much my extent of Roblox myself, playing with the kids.
It’s certainly something, some of the “experiences” are plain cash grabs (which I talk to them about) but I find quite a few to be genuinely fun, even if they’re absolute chaos sometimes lmfao
Because they’re one of the very few (And if you’re in the US, the only) phones with decent specs that allows you to unlock the BL
If you’re in the US and want a privacy OS > Pixel
If you’re outside the US and want a privacy OS but don’t want the crap tier specs that have been offered thus far by the specialty phones > Pixel or maybe a Chinese brand phone
If you’re in or outside the US, want a privacy OS and want or need to finance the phone through your carrier so you don’t have to spend $6-800+ out of pocket > Pixel
