Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft reportedly projects $1,200 to $1,800 price for 2028 Project HelixEnglish
13·25 days agoI’m only afraid that Gamers will actually fucking buy it, and Microsoft (and others) will learn that gamers will keep buying consolee for almost 2k dollars, and then future consoles will never go down in price. Just like it happened with graphics cards, when Nvidia learned that gamers would buy 2x Titan class gpus (which were not supposed to be a gaming card), and then discovered they could sell a 90 class for 1500+ dollars (and going up with each generation) and the fuckers would still gladly buy it, and that they would also still buy cards with prices inflated at 200~300% values during the crypto boom.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ahead of the midterms, Meta has paid at least 29 anti-LGBTQ accounts for their postsEnglish
1·1 month agoI am not from the USA, so that’s a problem for y’all to figure it out. However, the answer is usually quite simple: hit them where it hurts. Here where I live the government has not yet been fully controlled by the fascist right, so we still have a chance to use legal and civil devices. But if not, just remember what the french did.

3·1 month agoI have this discussion with a lot of people from the left, who often say they need to occupy those spaces and not let them be only a cesspool for conservative spiel. However, what they don’t seem to understand no matter how fucking much I tell them, is that you cannot win a game your opponent controls the rules. The only solution to traditional social media is to pressure the government to ban it. Not regulation, bans are the only way.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there?English
91·1 month agoIf a random visitor visits your website and they see a weird anime girl drawing talking about security, what is the chance of them just bouncing away afraid that it is a virus or an unsafe website? I’d say it’s definitely higher than 0%.

Technology@lemmy.world•Software developers are not okayEnglish
8·1 month agoPeople have already given you good advice, so I’ll give you a less than stellar advice: don’t become statistics, every year lots of people kill themselves due to their work or die of overworking in Japan and nobody gives a fuck. You’re not the wrong person here, so why would you suffer by yourself? If you’re fucked either way and has nothing else to lose, do something real about it. I saw your comments about getting sued, does it matter? Bro, you were considering taking your own life, justice matters more. If you think you still have shit to lose, then don’t even entertain taking your own life.
With your backend skills in golang, is there any business you can start on your own? Do you guys have savings that would allow you to live for a while without your main work? Don’t give up, bro. As long as there’s still some alternatives, keep going. And, please, if you and your wife truly do love each other, go talk to her about this.

Technology@lemmy.world•Zuckerberg's Pervert Glasses Have Been So Publicly Shamed That Meta's Reportedly Now Working on a Version With No CameraEnglish

It was always weird to me how expensive glasses and lenses were, now I’m just pissed at being right.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?English
2·2 months agoThey don’t change… I had the same problem some 5 years ago. There was an ad for olive oil using the logo of a famous supermarket around here, and a fairly similar website to the supermarket one. I reported that ad 5 times, got the same “this ad does not violate Google’s policies” response each time. Until my mother clicked on it and was scammed out of her money.
I came to the conclusion that the only solution was to be done with google, I started using nextDNS in my entire network, changed all standard search for duckduckgo, and installed ad block all over.

Technology@lemmy.world•You can now apply DLSS 5 Neural Rendering to your entire Windows desktopEnglish
41·2 months agoThat’s stupid. DLSS5 needs real vertex data to work properly, a YouTube video has none. This is just throwing pc performance down the drain to drink the AI kool-aid.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tiny E-Reader Is the Best Piece of Technology in Years - The AtlanticEnglish
2·2 months agoYeah, I just open up Lithium and read on my phone. The only downside is to have to cram Brightness in case I’m out during the sun, but the advantage is that I always have my phone with me, and I can read everywhere. Some years ago I uninstalled all my brain rot apps, and made the switch: feel like scrolling, go scroll a book. Since then I have read hundreds of books.
My dream device would be one with a full eink screen + querty keyboard in the front, and a nice 120hz OLED display in the back with a camera that pops up from the inside of the device at the top.

Technology@lemmy.world•Chrome again exempts Google from user site data settingsEnglish
2·2 months agoOn this topic, anyone know of a browser that has that “user profiles” page like they implemented in Chrome recently? I have to use Chrome for work because it allows for entirely separate browsing for each user, and I am looking for an alternative.

Technology@lemmy.world•Skip today's Windows 11 update: it breaks cursor styling, resets wallpaper, and moreEnglish
1·3 months agoAs far as my research came up, only CS6 works, however all my stuff was made with 2020+ editions, so it would break my projects. It seems VivaDesigner is the way, but it’s paid only… And I never paid for adobe lol
However, it seems that Scribus can now read indesign markup files, I would just have to export all my projects in that format and test first.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Turns On Gemini A.I. for Students Using Its Classroom AppEnglish
2·3 months agoGreat, might as well teach them young not to think! (/s if it wasn’t obvious)
It might not be entirely so. I’ve watched their youtube announcement (less than 2 minutes video), and they talk about starting this project back in 2019, so there’s no way it was all vibe coded. I don’t doubt that the recent stretch was probably heavily using claude, but I wouldn’t call it cuckcoded if they truly started back in 2019 before LLMs were anywhere useful.
