  • It was a few years ago when I read Signal's statement about this, so I'm afraid I don't have a link for you.

    I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it's important to note that without Signal's blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It's not the same as official interoperability.

    I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.

  • Unless Signal's policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.

    If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.

  • These wolves were modified based on dna from dire wolves, and presumably made to be as close to the scientist’s understanding of dire wolves as possible.

    I guess you missed this part:

    And Colossal claims it has turned grey wolves into dire wolves by making just 20 gene edits?

    That is the claim. In fact, five of those 20 changes are based on mutations known to produce light coats in grey wolves, Shapiro told New Scientist. Only 15 are based on the dire wolf genome directly and are intended to alter the animals’ size, musculature and ear shape.

  • Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

    So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

    For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

    Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn't end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.

    No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction

  • Okay so did they go viral or are they just popular in this one small town? Word mean things

    Pedantic is a word.

    Also, your criticism of the author's words would have carried more weight if you had pluralized correctly.

  • Normally, a well-functioning democracy has ways to remove these people from power. But the wrong technology infrastructure could allow such a future government to watch every move anyone makes to oppose it. It could very well be the last government we ever elect.

  • People should not be treated badly in general, but not "called out"?

    I run into video-link-only posts in text forums on Lemmy every so often, and IMHO, they contribute little more than noise. There's nothing wrong with encouraging their authors to at least add a summary or start a conversation about the subject matter. Without that, video links that aren't of obvious widespread interest usually feel like they're treating the rest of us as a click farm, whether we're vision-impaired or not.

  • Then you purchased a wrong game

    Perhaps.

    But you've made a lot of assumptions in your comment, and you're mistaken about most of them.

    I played the side quests. Many came with a good backstory, but that is not gameplay. Nearly all were copy/paste instances from a small pool of tedious tasks. There were a few memorable exceptions, but very few.

    I explored the world, as much as one can "explore" something that is fully labeled with point-of-interest markers. They lead the player to a repetitive handful of uninspired encounters, cloned over and over again.

    It has plenty of other flaws as well. If you loved it, then I'm happy for you, but I found the gameplay boring.

    The strengths I found in The Witcher 3 were its story, lore, characters, and Gwent. Not its gameplay.

    Meanwhile, Gwent is a surprisingly well-designed strategy game. So much so that it ended up spun off into a stand-alone version (although I don't know how good the spinoff is).

    To each their own, I suppose.

  • Unfortunately, that's not effective against modern bots, since an LLM can easily solve such puzzles.

    It also favors people who script notifications or spend their days on social media in order to hoard game codes, rather than giving people who would actually play the game a fair chance. I don't know if this has become common on Lemmy yet, but it was very common on Reddit.

  • In future, I suggest posting the titles of the games, and giving out the codes via private message after a day or two, to randomly chosen people who have replied to the post by then.

    When they're posted publicly like this, or given to the first responder, they tend to be grabbed by bots and resellers.

  • Thank you.

    It's worth noting that import failed the very first time I tried it, as a new user.

    Maybe Lemmy's rate limiter is coded to count exports the same as imports? That would explain the behavior I observed, because I did export my settings first, so I could edit them and then import, which failed. That logic would seem bizarre, though, both because I would expect an export to be cheap and not worth throttling, and because I would expect an export/edit/import cycle to be a somewhat commonly needed operation (even if not frequently used).
