North Korea's only Steam user disappeared yesterday, but not to worry: They're back and gaming harder than ever in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

It's the one user they pay for playing just so they can say that people have access to gaming in North Korea.

True. It would probably be funny.

Imagine running around with a child arm for a year or so.

Not that I would be an expert, but limbs start forming so early on in the womb, that that will probably be a very difficult thing to do. Nevertheless, never say never.

Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers (trac.ffmpeg.org)

Microsoft employee:

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help

Maintainer's comment on twitter:

After politely requesting a support contract from Microsoft for long term maintenance, they offered a one-time payment of a few thousand dollars instead.

This is unacceptable.

And further:

The lesson from the xz fiasco is that investments in maintenance and sustainability are unsexy and probably won't get a middle manager their promotion but pay off a thousandfold over many years.

But try selling that to a bean counter

How to follow newspapers on mastodon without being spammed? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi,

I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.

Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

Can we get vote buttons in inbox back? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Thanks for making sync, and for the new fresh inbox view!

The old inbox had vote buttons on the comments. That was really useful. Could these be added to the new view as well?

Why is it dangerous to chain power dividers? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Besides putting too many devices on a single wall socket, that draw too much power, what is supposed to happen?

Like say I chain ten dividers and put a single vacuum cleaner at the end. Is that more dangerous than plugging it directly into the wall?

pluralistic: the alarmism around AI is just a marketing spin. (pluralistic.net)

The alarmism around AI is just a marketing spin.

As @pluralistic@mamot.fr wrote: that's "mystical nonsense about spontaneous consciousness arising from applied statistics".

Real problems we face with AI are:

Ghost labor, erosion of the rights of artists, costs of automation, the climate impact of data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems.
