2000 across Europe is not that many, and not every European country slept on infrastructure and electric mobility as we did.
Given that most flagship electric vehicles currently charge at 300-350kW max, and at least in Germany 300kW HPCs are pretty much the top end, 1.5MW are pretty damn impressive. Would be pretty sick to have that charging available for daily use.
It’s not about a different function providing different randomness, but providing a compatible implementation for environments not supporting the “regular” implementation.
If this screenshot is legit, I guarantee you that either the library is older and there was some weird branching for IE or it’s brand new and had branching for the hot new JS runtime / cross compiling.
Supporting a metric fuckton of browsers and environments takes the same amount of shims.
Google has never been doing anything else. How is showing yet another popup a war on general-purpose computing? All they are interested in is their profit and market share. You always will be able to install external APKs, worst case using adb. And the more they’ll lock it down, the more workarounds, jailbreaks and tools will pop up.
Literally every company is doing the same, from your smart TV to your smart fridge. Further restrictions on external installations (as in non-PlayStore) is at least something that arguably brings some benefit to some users, given the current state of cyber security.
“Anti-property-rights propaganda” is a very big term in the context of the sideloading change, when you should assume that your device might get fully and remotely bricked anytime when Trump or one of his cultists finally loses his shit and orders a cease of operations e.g. in Europe to put pressure down.
Anyone who is concerned about Google’s ethics has moved to another ROM where Google can’t do shit. Others don’t care, and keep using it as-is. And that’s all there is, like it or not, move on or don’t, but yapping about propaganda for a term preceding the play store by about 20 years is not doing anything.
Why is everyone so upset about the term sideloading. It’s not “denormalizing”, the “normal” way for your average joe is using the app store. Y’all need to take a step back and be aware that the average lemmy user is by far more tech savvy than your average smartphone user. And of course it’s not a term used in the context of windows or Linux, because the normal way there simply allows installations.
If Google does that as they describe they do - an additional layer, that I can disable in some settings, if I want to, why are we upset about that? It does help protect users that are not aware of what the consequences may be.
And of course Google wants to maximize device control. Just as Apple. And Microsoft. And any other company. You want full control over your device, use the according software for that.
Yes, but that’s work and costing the scrapers resources, while simply siccing some scraper is simpler and costs less.
In addition to all the suggestions - check out modding databases like nexusmods or whatever. Many older games that would not fit your definition have graphical mods that will make your GPU work.
Personally I’ve played modded stalker, fallout, elder scrolls. Hell, you can make Minecraft look absolutely amazing, but it’s a pain to set up properly. You’ve mentioned you’re not into horror games, some games also have total conversions available that do a some genre bending too.
Cyberpunk is not that old, but it’s one of the best looking games ever made IMHO.
Witcher 3, also potentially with mods.

The setting toggle seems to be available since Android 12, but not all vendors seem to have implemented it. There are instructions in the linked GitHub issue that seem sane.
“Googling a lot while coding” is not even remotely close to vibe coding, please don’t gaslight yourself into that.
When you read up on things, you know what you’re looking for. You read a potential solution (e.g. part of a documentation, an example, someone else’s solution, a solution to a similar problem), you think about it and transfer that to your own problem, with your own code, with your own thoughts.
Using AI support is totally fine too - it’s a smarter code completion, nothing more. It might spit out something wrong, something partial, something good. You might ignore it as with the regular completion. In the end, it’s still you thinking about it, modifying it until it works, and doing your thing.
“Vibe coding” is basically saying tech jesus take the wheel. And it might go well for someone who cannot code, who managed to create their small game or some website. It will go horribly wrong for any project handling user data, sensitive data, or something that needs to be maintained after. We’ve had more than enough examples of that.
The worst kind of shorts are the ones pretending to present serious content.
Of course you crammed all related parts about any current war into a maximum of 60 seconds or summarized the latest news.
Fuck you to anyone doing this.
How is this more repairable than any other cable? Their repair instructions are literally “get a bunch of tools, cut that thing open, resolder and reseal”. Is their “repairable” aspect that they are only using shrink tubing on the outside of the plugs saving money on material too? Yeah, I bet I’ll need to repair those a lot.
Also, those are some fucking expensive cables.
And where did I say that no one should pay for youtube premium? Where did I say that everything should be 100% free?
If YouTube premium is worth it for you, go for it. In my opinion YouTube is getting worse by the day, and it’s monopoly due to its reach and resources suppresses any competition, unfortunately. Even if YouTube Premium would cost 10 cents I won’t pay it, because I simply think that YouTube has severely gone wrong. Vote with your wallet.
And before other connoisseurs of boot material chime in - I’m paying for Google one. I’m using drive and mail daily. I bought the new pixel, watch and buds day one, and all of those are amazing Google products I’m very happy to pay for, just as I do for Spotify, HP, Netflix, IntelliJ and any other product that brings me value.
Pay for what you want, and let me do the same.
YouTube is the biggest platform, and the one with the most resources. Whether it’s the best one is on another page.
And again, keep bootlicking. Chrome fanboy, goated YouTube, and even MSP, talking about copium. Your poor fucking customers and people working under you.
Yes, the problem are definitely the few percent of people using ad blockers, but absolutely not the corpos spewing out a few cents while watching creators fight against each other and the algorithm ™️ from their second yacht they bought this week.
Keep bootlicking, fool.
Bethesda brought HD texture packs for Skyrim and Fallout, yes. But they are free DLCs and came out several years after release. Bethesda did a paid modding shop.
But this is a feature that other games just have, that’s paid, on a preorder full price AAA game that’s already more expensive than other games.
Stop trying to compare, this is a whole new precedent of greed and mtx.
Isn’t Ubuntu Pro basically just an extended support for a set of universe packages for their LTS versions and free for private use?
How is making enterprises pay for extended LTS because of corporate no-update-just-insert-coin mentalities even remotely close to ransomware?
Like I get everyone who doesn’t like Ubuntu for various reasons, but this sounds completely dumb to me.
NPM allows for code to be executed while you install the package which is different from maven or nuget and allows for easy exploitation paths
This is the winner. Combine that with a vastly bigger group of inexperienced developers (and I’m willing to die on that hill), and you have a lot of people running node / npm as an admin / root user, who have close to zero idea what they are doing, hitting their project with third party dependencies left and right for no particular reason (left-pad, is-number, ansi console and similar useless crap), and then your dependency management allows for code execution. Also, from my personal feeling, it seems that npm simply cannot properly audit the packages due to the sheer mass. From a technical standpoint it’s close to trivial to put your malware onto npm, and then you just need to get someone to install your package, which is way simpler than in other package managers
The smallest footprint for an actual scripting probably will be posix sh - since you already have it ready.
A slightly bigger footprint would be Python or Lua.
If you can drop your requirement for actual scripting and are willing to add a compile step, Go and it’s ecosystem is pretty dang powerful and it’s really easy to learn for small automation tasks.
Personally, with the requirement of not adding too much space for runtimes, I’d write it in go. You don’t need a runtime, you can compile it to a really small zero dependency lib and you have clean and readable code that you can extend, test and maintain easily.
haven’t actually proven to be effective at stopping cheaters
This is what OP said, and it’s completely correct. It’s not that much impact in comparison to “regular” anti cheat systems. And both of those only detect either cheap/bad or known hacks.
Server-sided and data based anti cheats is what would actually be a huge step up. You’re running a 8 K/D in a game where the best players are between 1-2? Banned. You just flicked two enemies within 100ms? Banned. Suspicious activity that’s not that blatant needs to be reviewed.
The thing is - that’s fucking expensive, complicated and needs to be done one a per-game basis, and since its just cheaper to throw you under the bus with a kernel anticheat and claim it’s the best one, that’s being done.
Anything is beatable, hackable and abusable given the time and resources, and it shouldn’t be my system because some idiotic management took the decision to enforce ring0 access anti cheat to ban some percent more hackers.
No one said that anti cheat efforts do not make an impact, but the impact of ring0 anti cheats is massively overrated
The title also doesn’t state that VPNs need closing. They are talking about VPNs being a loophole to the “age” verification that needs closing. For anyone being even a little bit tech savvy, it was crystal clear from the beginning that forcing people to provide official identification documents or a picture/video of themselves will create a response of attempts to circumvent this. And VPNs being the easiest (as in affordable, ease of use, and various providers being available) way of doing that, are now obviously the next ones to take the hit. If, or rather when, the EU decides to crack down on VPN providers, they are effectively closed. Why would I use a service that forces me to ID myself to circumvent the ID requirement of other services? The only reason to use a VPN is anonymity.
