8·4 days agoThis is the second time they’ve bombed Iran during peace talks. I know it feels like a million years, but it only happened last June.

News@lemmy.world•White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections
2·5 days agoIt would get struck down by the courts, make its way to the Supreme Court, and then who the fuck knows.
The Trump admin ghouls understand this logistical red tape, know if will not pass muster and time it so that they achieve maximum compliance in a short window of time.
This emergency executive order is going to get thrown down mid to late October, and by the time the courts can churn it through the appeals system, the election in November will have already happened. Oops, looks like all of Trump’s cronies and sycophants won, too late to go back now - we already swore them in!

Technology@lemmy.world•AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulationsEnglish
23·7 days agoYeah, because the AI will look at everything with cold logic and rationality and come to the conclusion that even though the best chance of survival is for everyone to keep their fingers off the button, all it takes is for one actor to do it for the whole system of mutually assured destruction to collapse into nuclear armageddon, in which case the best chance of survival is to be the first one to launch your nukes and take out all your enemies capabilities to retaliate.
A human being who isn’t psychotic can clearly see that the resulting survival and new world order would not be particularly a pleasant one to live in. The AI doesn’t care about its own comfort, though, so it will see this as the best outcome that minimizes variables.
This is why AI should never be allowed to make decisions.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - DexertoEnglish
421·8 days agoThis is fantastic news! Not because I actually give a shit about sticking with Discord after getting slapped in the face with this insulting age verification nonsense, but because Discord has basically no competition and 6 months will be plenty of time for a real contender to emerge in time for them to shoot themselves in the foot again.
I don’t think Discord actually appreciates how much market share is going to slip away from them in the next 6 months. They were probably better off going through with their clandestine spying plan now while some people might be complacent enough to just comply and provide their ID to get handed over to the fucking Feds.

4·10 days agoWould this not be grounds for a massive class action lawsuit? FSD was marketed as a feature when the cars were sold.

World News@lemmy.world•Pope Leo rejects Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ invite and backs UN to solve global crisesEnglish
1·12 days agoThose countries, and the board of peace itself, have a shelf life of 3 years, which is when Trump will start expecting 1 billion in annual payments per member state to remain in the fascist club.

Games@lemmy.world•‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefrontEnglish
551·16 days agoIt does get tiresome going to steam threads and seeing the same copy pasted “don’t ruin the game with woke shit” post up voted to the top.
There’s a pencil thin line between farming clown emoji and overt bigotry getting pumped to the top of the reviews section by bad faith actors.

News@lemmy.world•Trump deportation surge left Texas with shortage of home builders. Now Republican wants completely new visa to fix that
20·18 days agoBrocero Program 2.0
It’s funny how the US relationship with Mexico and South America has ping-ponged back and forth between “We need these people to sustain the economy!” and “These people are invaders who are erasing our culture!” for like the last century.
I said it back during Trump’s first term and I’ll say it again (and again and again as time moves forward, as I’m sure people will never wise up to the game) - illegal immigration is a nothingburger of an issue that gets puffed up every time an authoritarian needs a scapegoat to blame all of societies woes on.
If they go through with it, flood their tip line with calls about Melania and Elon.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord walks back age verification fears for most usersEnglish
22·20 days agoSo they haven’t walked anything back, they’re just adding in a motherfucking clanker as a middleman. What could go wrong?
Big corporations have absolutely laid waste to the internet. There’s nothing left unspoiled at this point.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Sharkord - an open-source self-hostable Discord alternative with voice, video, and real-time messaging.English
5·21 days agoIm surprised as how many people discount this feature. Sometimes I sit in voice chat in my small Discord server alone for hours because nobody would show up if nobody was around.
We’re all adults with jobs and responsibilities and shit, we don’t want to have to dial people in to shoot the shit late at night. That would feel like a chore.
An alternative with no drop in voice chat is a non starter for my group.
