With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.

Infinite budget? Bro, I know the exact location. Just go over there and knock on his door. Arrest the man and put him in jail for possession. One less thief out there taking advantage of the fact that the police doesn’t enforce the fucking laws.

The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.

They could, but they don’t.

In a world of home surveillance, doorbell cameras, and phones with constant GPS that can tell you the exact location of where it’s at, the police are more useless than ever.

The demo was neat, but it was hilariously overhyped, even in the abstract paper. It was pretty damn obvious that the researchers were just trying to continue funding their research with a PR push.

The more interesting aspect was the potential for better AI video processing, not creating a game engine. You can’t create a game engine without a series of defined rules, and you can’t define those rules without documenting it in programming language.

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don’t want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

They’re all on F95.

Why EU leaders People should get off Musk’s X

FTFY.

The company added that it does not “listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement” and “regret[s] any confusion.”

That doesn’t sound like kooky bullshit to me. That sounds exactly like what the OP’s title suggests.

(N.S.F.W.)

And paywalled.

we’ll burn out from endless selection of predictable movies and other entertainment

We aren’t already doing that? Even without AI, most of today’s writers suck ass, and corporate meddling has stomped out risk taking. Writers have no chance to build experience with good shows with longevity. With no risk, there is no creativity.

All of the good series were ones from cable TV. Breaking Bad, Sopranos, old Star Trek, Mr. Robot, Babylon 5, House, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones (even if it ended badly), Better Call Saul, The Expanse (which died immediately after it switched to Amazon), Gravity Falls. About the only streaming series I really enjoyed was Loki, and that only lasted two seasons. Anything else might have a good first season, but they chop out any sense of character development by making these season 6-8 episodes long. No episodic content. No character development. Just go go go towards the seasonal end goal. And then get cancelled, because they didn’t get a chance to shake out the mediocre ideas and improve their direction. Can you imagine Star Trek:TNG being represented by only their first season, and then cancelled as a result of that?

All of the recent good movies were from directors that had a chance to take risks back in the 2000s, and are now given full creative control to do what they are good at. Dune was a great movie, but it simply adapted the source material, and was given enough budget and resources and creative control to Denis to produce what it needed to be. How many good directors will be left when the old guard retires?

All of the good games are from indie series now. Concord is being getting review-wrecked and shat on, while people focus more of their attention on an fucking asset-flip game about a squirrel with a gun. All of the good bigger studios are gone, fully absorbed into the Microsoft/ZeniMax/WB/EA empire. Only the first or second-time indie game developers are the ones producing good games.

Hell, at this point, maybe AI would do a better job than the shit that’s out there. I doubt it, though. It’s too half-baked right now.

From what I’ve read they tried to combine the console and PC version into a unified single version.

JFC. Starting off with something that is cross-compatible is one thing, but trying to merge the two codebases together… that’s a 2-3+ year effort, minimum.

The GPL is not a China-backed agreement. China can do whatever the fuck it wants, because that’s how dictatorships roll.

Dev being an asshole and not accept Linus’ code review = Rust is bad?

But, as the debian dude has learned… Rust programs will 99.999 % work if they can be compiled.

That’s a dumb statement. Every tool needs unit tests. All of them!

If grep complied, but always returned nothing for every file and filter, then it’s still not “working”. But, hey, it compiled!

The OP is about packaging issues with userspace utilities due to version pinning in Rust

No, it’s about Bcachefs specifically. It’s literally in the title. Discussions around Rust version pinning are a useful side conversation, but that’s not what the OP is about.

So if your Rust app is built against up to date libraries in Cargo, it’s going to be difficult to package those apps in Debian when they ship stable, out of date libraries since Debian’s policies don’t like the idea of using outside dependencies from Cargo.

As they should. You don’t just auto-update every package to bleeding edge in a stable OS, and security goes out the window when you’re trusting a third-party’s third-party to monitor for dependency chain attacks (which they aren’t). This is how we get Crowdstrike global outages and Node.JS bitcoin miner injections.

If some Rust tool is a critical part of the toolchain, they better be testing this shit against a wide array of dependency versions, and plan for a much older baseline. If not, then they don’t get to play ball with the big Linux distros.

Debian is 100% in the right here, and I hope they continue hammering their standards into people.

Steam is just ok to for what I want from a store/launcher.

It’s not just ok, compared to the alternatives. A games library that cannot be matched, regular sales, easy no-frills refunds, cloud saves, beta support, family mode, big picture support, seamless integration with the Steam deck, which in its own right, has pushed right-to-repair and Linux gaming to new heights. The competition doesn’t even have any of this stuff, including the console market, and if they can’t compete, they don’t deserve my money.

No digital game store is worth your loyalty.

I’m fine being loyal to a privately-owned company that actually gives a shit about its customers. As long as Gabe is still alive and they will continue to be privately-owned, the company will stay in good graces.

It’s not an article. It’s a blog post. That’s the problem.

Or FF13. Some of the ultima weapons in that game require so much fucking grinding.

It’s a somewhat new job title, but it’s now becoming standard across the movie industry.

All indie porn games are still in development. That’s their default state.
