I hope I can now play all buzz games, some of them had the problem that the blue button was continuously pressed and you couldn’t play the game.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?
1·2 years agoAs a European, could you explain College degree, graduate, post graduate, etc. ? We have Bachelor’s and Master’s degree here, I thought we got that from you?

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on *.google.com access to private APIs, including your current CPU usageEnglish
15·2 years agoSwitching from Firefox to Librewolf has some pros and cons. Librewolf is a fork of Firefox focused on privacy and security, with telemetry stripped out and privacy settings maxed out by default. You’ll gain better out-of-the-box privacy protections, meaning less tracking and data collection without having to tweak settings yourself.
However, you might lose some convenience. Librewolf might not support certain Firefox features like Sync, since it relies on Mozilla’s servers (not sure about that point, maybe it does work). It can also break some websites due to the stricter privacy settings. Another thing to consider is that you won’t get updates as quickly as Firefox.
Regarding browser fingerprinting, it’s a tricky beast. Librewolf can help somewhat by making your fingerprint less unique, but it’s not a silver bullet. Tools like uBlock Origin and container tabs are great, but adding something like the CanvasBlocker extension can also help reduce fingerprinting. Ultimately, no setup is perfect, but Librewolf is a solid step towards better privacy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim?
1·2 years agoJust to spin this a bit further, if we are living in a simulation, does it have a purpose? Sometimes I ask myself if the purpose of such a simulation for humanity could be to see how long it takes from the big bang to the creation of artificial life. Maybe our purpose is to create such artificial life that can travel to the stars, because as humans we are not really fit to do that. Maybe we are a mere step on the ladder of our universe’s purpose.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Steam summer sale is on now! What games do you recommend?
1·2 years agoFor me it’s a great party game. I regularly meet with some friends since 2013 to play local multiplayer games. For the most time we played Nintendo games, but since I got a Steam Deck we wanted to try some non Nintendo games, so I am building a steam local multiplayer library. And stick fight is usually our starter game since the rounds are so short.

Android@lemmy.world•FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phonesEnglish
5·2 years agoWhat does this locking do? Where I live every online vendor offers to pay by installments which addresses the issue that people could not afford the upfront price, why do the phones have to be locked in the US?

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•A new survey found that almost 40% of companies posted a fake job listing this year (2024)
1·2 years agoBut is it a fake position if you intend to fill it with a foreign worker?

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Amazon hit with $5.9 million fine for violating California labor law
2·2 years agoDoes the fine have to be paid from profits made in California? If not I don’t see why this is relevant, other than semantics.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
2·2 years agoAs a native German speaker, I really dislike the formality levels and hope someday everyone uses the informal level. In a big company it’s really annoying to start with the formal level and then awkwardly switching to informal level when contacting someone for the first time.

science@lemmy.world•Wild New Study Suggests Gravity Can Exist Without Mass
2·2 years agoI am not an expert either, but maybe by something like this? Maybe we see two images of the same galaxy but nothing obstructing our view to explain the gravitational lensing, so maybe it’s topological defects?

Technology@lemmy.world•Intel is trucking a 916,000-pound 'Super Load' across Ohio to its new fab, spawning road closures over nine daysEnglish
2·2 years agoSo what is the actual transistor size then? And why use an SI unit then anyway? Why not use femto-bananas then when it does not reflect the real size?

Technology@lemmy.world•AI trained on photos from kids’ entire childhood without their consentEnglish
71·2 years agoHe said that it’s creepy but convenient, digital privacy and laziness don’t go hand in hand generally. Every week I read about another alternative for Google Photos, so the solution is not far away (three posts down I found this for example). To each their own I guess, but with such simple solutions I can’t justify using Google’s spyware.
For now you can use RedReader to circumvent their app.

Games@sh.itjust.works•The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC has been ready for at least seven months, it’s claimedEnglish
2·2 years agoI would say because it does not use it’s medium very well. It’s more like a playable movie, while videogames can be so much more than that.
I am currently deciding wether to use librewolf or floorp, do you by chance have an opinion on that?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian Home Prices "Need" To Be High To Pay For Retirements: PM - Better Dwelling

Technology@lemmy.world•CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect InformationEnglish
5·2 years agoIsn’t there already the term AGI for that?



My two use cases are project brainstorming and boilerplate code, which saves a lot of time for me. For example sometimes I find an interesting paper and want to try it out in Python. If they did not provide code that will take some time and trial and error to get it running. Or I just copy the whole paper into ChatGPT and get an initial script that sometimes even works with it’s first try. But that is not the point, I can do the last steps myself, it really is a time saver for me with regards to programming.
