Yeah, nothing says “this person will repay their loans” like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.

I love how you can just call it capetalismo in portuguese, capeta = devil

Better title:

Passkeys: still trying to explain why it’s worth the hassle when it isn’t

Should’ve used more of his own blood. A lot more. Like all of it

muskrat loves his x-rated shit publicly visible to everyone

his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million in puts on Palantir (…) Palantir’s market cap is also up over 150 percent year-to-date. Its current valuation is upwards of 200 times its forward earnings, spreading fears that it may be grossly overvalued.

He knows which one is more likely to get really fucked in this bubble and it’s not the shovel seller

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse.

Can we assume his puts aren’t for 2026, but at least 2028 or later?

As CNN points out, Burry’s track record isn’t perfect. For instance, he called in January 2023 to “sell” in a now infamous tweet

Something something irrational solvent something

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The two companies he’s shorting are the ones making all the money,”

One of the companies is making all the money and it’s not Palantir.

If you count only Valve’s own games’ sales, those earned nowhere as much as the steam market trade of TF2 hats and CS skins

I’m curious what the Japanese devs think might be the problem with Steam in this case. I know dlsite has been the main place for trying to sell their own indie stuff

The real question that remains unanswered: why the fuck did that boy try to earn a Darwin Award? One or two would be an accident, 100 is done on purpose

MAH KRISSHAN VALUWS!!!

Is there a good alternative to CheatEngine? Game Conqueror fails to find the correct addresses most of the time and its speedhack almost never works

and photoshop for giving any idiot the ability to doctor photos (with a bit more effort)

Please tell me how long it takes for an average skilled photoshop user to create one fake porn image of someone they know.

The difference is this one is in a bubble state propping up the US GDP and masking recession indicators

can’t wait for it to pop

It’s not the common man doing this to any appreciable extent.

When you look at numbers, indeed not, giant corpos are the ones behind the vast majority of the shit we have to deal with. Still, that doesn’t mean that some janes and johns have no responsibility, social media and YT rely on user content and reward “engagement”

AI isn’t “any other tool”, it’s global reach, industrial scale “content generation” for any idiot.

The vast majority of lies aren’t considered crimes, nor is it a crime to run spambot armies to sell shit, nor is accelerating the “dead internet theory”, or spamming amazon listings with genai slop books. Depending on the country, scam attempts aren’t crimes, it’s only a crime if someone falls for it.

But hey, “people should do whatever they want”, minus the unlawful stuff, so fuck everyone who gets a worse internet experience because of that, eh?

Clearly what the world needs, more fucking spam

“People should do whatever they want with AI!!!” - some idiot here on lemmy, about a month ago

Tangent: Jami is p2p, so the only risk of going offline is if everyone in the groups go offline. It does lack several quality of life features, though.

It’s Xiaomi, of course the app will not work without internet access

So you’re telling me M$ will kill the xbox division for good?

An Xbox spokesperson said in a statement that they take a long-term view of their business and that success “doesn’t look the same across every project or priority.” - “We look at the business as a whole, balancing creativity, innovation, and sustainability across a diverse portfolio of offerings,” the spokesperson said.

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh my fucking god, these corporate stooges

To account for the lost sales, Xbox offers its developers a credit, which it calls “member-weighted value” and is calculated based on several factors, such as the number of hours that Game Pass players collectively spend on a particular title. The opaque formula seems to favor games in which players can spend the most amount of hours, such as online multiplayer titles, according to people familiar with the calculations.

Interesting, that explains why some studios are getting fucked out of that deal

In July, Hood said on a call with investors that operating income in the Xbox division rose 34% for the quarter that ended in June due to “continued prioritization of higher margin opportunities.” The company is due to report earnings again on Oct. 29.

I’m sure M$ can keep cancelling projects and firing people ad infinitum to ensure a continual rise of operating income /s

Interesting. I looked around what Lula has said and found that, in 2023, he did suggest Ukraine to “cede Crimea in order to stop the war”

In 2025, during a press conference where someone asked him about the Russo-Ukrainian war, after making the case for a ceasefire and negotiating peace, he asked back: “Do you think Putin will leave Crimea?” - although he never supported Russia’s claims for other territories, stating “you don’t always get what you want”.

I can see how that can be taken as support for the aggressor.

The purpose is to create a space for nations to talk to each other, and to organize collective action on issues that the majority of members agree on.

Save for anything the USA says “nope”, like actual action against climate change, putting an end to the trade blockade against Cuba, etc - then the majority can go fuck itself

Not really supporting, but mostly turning a blind eye because Russia is a significant ally and the main source of refined diesel fuel.
