I would argue this ideology falls under absurdism rather than nihilism.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Passwords are okay, impulsive Internet isn't
1·9 months agoThis assumes a pin is used, which according to the WebAuthn wikipedia page is not generally the case:
The illustrated flow relies on PIN-based user verification, which, in terms of usability, is only a modest improvement over ordinary password authentication. In practice, the use of biometrics for user verification can improve the usability of WebAuthn.
The way I read this, a pin is even too much for the end-user and biometrics replace it for usability.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Passwords are okay, impulsive Internet isn't
10·9 months agoCan someone explain to me how using biometrics rather than a password/pin to protect from unauthorized access to your passkeys doesn’t violate the “something you have” and “something you know” principle of multi-factor authorization? Most of these implementations seem squarely geared at user convenience at the cost of actual security.

Technology@lemmy.world•Let's knock down social media's walled gardens - Tim Berners-LeeEnglish
17·1 year agoI would say this is a little too pessimistic. Legislation in the EU and California have both forced tech companies hands, it’s why we can download all our data and delete all our data (supposedly, doubtful in reality) on the large tech platforms. The issue I see is getting legislation that attaches itself to a standard controlled by the W3C. You are right that it won’t be something done by the US federal government though.

Android@lemmy.world•Google Messages preps deleting sent RCS messages 'for everyone'English
72·1 year agoWhy not just reply “Oh we have milk!”. Why is deleting messages the best course of action when you can just communicate that you were misinformed?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro videoEnglish
23·1 year agoAgreed. You watch one video and the entire homepage changes.
Disclaimer: I have no experience with Bazzite. A quick web search shows that it’s a distro based on Fedora Atomic. That being said, if you did everything according to the documentation, this is probably a bug that should be raised with the developers.
The first line states
/init: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-core-256.11.1-fc41.so: c. This is basically the issue, for whatever reason the shared library for systemd (which if being used, is basically the backbone to your systems startup) isn’t available. The next place I would look is whatever tool/command you use to upgrade/build your system, this might of spit out an error related to why this library could not be built or why it’s inaccessible on the next boot. If the solution isn’t obvious from those logs, I would report this to the distro developers as a ticket in their bug tracker.As to look at the positives, you have discovered the beauty of immutable/atomic distros. You can just go back to the working version instead of cussing at your PC.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do tarrifs affect cross border employment?
203·1 year agoTariffs: A list or system of duties imposed by a government on imported or exported goods.
You provide a service, not goods. You will be unaffected by any tariffs.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do services like Mastohost work on a fundamental level?English
62·1 year agoCentralization is a weakness. These services can be targeted by governments that want to limit communication. Free speech is a commodity, and servers host this free speech. If a hostile organization, such as a government, targets a channel of free speech such as those hosted on a platform that makes it easy to setup a mastodon instance, this become an easy target that will affect a large portion of users. If you are serious about freedom, you have the freedom to self-host your own platforms.
Edit: I realize my post doesn’t answer the question proposed, but it’s more of an argument against such services. I would argue self-hosting doesn’t rely on paying third-parties to host your software, but I guess this is in the eye of the hoster.

Technology@beehaw.org•Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research
32·1 year agoOur studies show this lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas people associate with human traits, like providing emotional support or counselling.
This is really dangerous, as subjective matters can easily steer people in vulnerable positions to think and act a certain way. Depending on the training data and safe guards put in place, this could easily lead to AIs telling users to do horrible things to themselves or others.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Will GTA 6 cost £80? Report says there's industry "hope" Rockstar will usher in another game price riseEnglish
131·1 year agoIf anything I think they’ll keep the games price low, as to get people into online and spend the money there. GTA Online has been a huge cash cow for Rockstar, and I don’t have exact numbers but based on this article I would say most of the profit comes from online play. I would guess they’ll go with the $60-90-120 model or something similar for different versions, probably with some bonus content for online included with the “ultimate” editions. Only Rockstar and maybe some kid who is hacking them knows for sure though.
When I say residential IP addresses, I mostly mean proxies using residential IPs, which allow scrappers to mask themselves as organic traffic.
Edit: Your point stands on there are a lot of services without these protections in place, but a lot of services are protective against scrapping.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•NVIDIA DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and New RTX Technologies Coming To 75 Games and Apps At LaunchEnglish
2·1 year agoAs a hobbyist programmer/game developer, ya basically hit the “as a programmer” part on the nose as in it’s why I care. In my opinion the issue is because we have faster and faster chips, we don’t care as long as it runs which means it’s using as much of the device as possible which means higher energy consumption. Also, DLSS has to be trained so you can lump it into how AI is causing more coal to be burned and water to be wasted cooling data centers designed to train AI.



node-media-server is what I use, it does the job well. I haven’t tried the recording bit, I just stream my desktop to my buddies sometimes. I had to modify the version I was using because the authentication didn’t work well with OBS. This was a while ago and development seems to be semi-active but I have no idea where it’s at.
