BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•A Record 8.5 Million Chinese Borrowers Blacklisted for Not Paying DebtsEnglish361·2 years agoPunishing the poor and making things harder for them to dig out of their situation is certainly for the best!
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•And that's why you shouldn't pirate kids.English30·2 years agoI never knew that pirating kids was such a problem.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Scientists propose sweeping new law of nature, expanding on evolutionEnglish62·2 years agoWake up, babe. Evolution 2.0 just dropped.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•My IPV6 only server is unable to federate properly with lemmy.worldEnglish4·2 years agoIPv6 only is still problematic.
Well, you see, it’s only been around 20 years or so. We need another 20-40 years of “IPv6 is coming” reminders before people really take a look at it.
Users can block instances
Finally!
I’ve had enough creepy/disgusting furry and pedophile drawings on my feed. That “yiffit” instance will be the first that I block.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Will it ever get to a point where data is so over-harvested that it starts to lose value?English5·2 years agoI’m still waiting for the spooky stuff I’ve been hearing about for years.
I’m being tracked. My information sold and exchanged. Big, evil corporations trading my data with other companies like it was baseball cards. All my inner-most desires leaked!
All to get an ad for a “litter box robot” or whatever when I’m browsing memes.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux user share remains above macOS in the latest Steam SurveyEnglish53·2 years agoDespite having so many game offerings over the years, it REALLY feels like Apple has still spent 30+ years shitting on games and gamers. They want games and gamers to conform to THEIR rules instead of them catering to games and gamers.
I have a $4000 Mac with top-of-the-line hardware that requires that I use emulators or virtualization if I want to play games. I have a bunch of legit “macOS-native” games on Steam that I cannot play because they are 32-bit. OpenGL was also scrapped, and with it any chance of several games that could have been updated to 64-bit. Apple will tell you that those are old and depreciated technologies. Well, guess what, it doesn’t fucking matter.
Meanwhile Microsoft and Linux developers have spent the same 30 years catering to games and gamers, trying to ensure everything under the sun keeps working, regardless of how old it is.
Pretty much any Win32 app from the past 30 years still works on Windows, and Steam on Linux has made it dead-simple to load many Windows games as easily as if they were Linux games.
I’m glad Linux surpassed macOS. I hope it keeps growing. It will be better for everyone when it catches up to Windows, as well.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is using a swap partition (on linux) bad for an SSD's lifetime?English3·2 years agoI thought about that after making my post.
Just like there are shitloads of bad SD cards (no-name, unbranded, generic, etc.), it’s just as cheap and easy for any random company to produce their own SSD and get it in circulation on the market just like legitimate SSDs.
Any SSD that could be damaged by a swap file is not an SSD you should have anywhere near your system in the first place (even if you never plan on putting a swap file on it).
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is using a swap partition (on linux) bad for an SSD's lifetime?English142·2 years agoMy thought on this:
If it was bad, wouldn’t we know by now?
SSD-only systems have been a thing for over a decade, and SSDs themselves have been around for decades.
If standard swap files damage SSDs, someone probably would have said something.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine says it landed troops on the shores of Russian-occupied CrimeaEnglish525·2 years agoSpecial forces landed on the western shore of Crimea, near the settlements of Olenivka and Mayak, in a joint operation with the country’s Navy, according to Ukrainian Defense Intelligence.
I hope Russia doesn’t read CNN.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge1324·2 years agoLock. Him. Up.
This is basically “Apollo lite” for Android, and as primarily an iOS user, it is a must-get app for me.
BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•How does everyone here feel about foldable phones?English7·2 years agoI like glass screens with an anti-glare screen protector on it.
The foldables I’ve seen use glossy, soft plastic screens.
We’re already off on a bad start.
These things are becoming softer, more fragile, and more disposable, all the while going up up up in price.
When I see a review for a device that can be permanently damaged with just a fingernail and is frail enough to snap in half if folded the wrong way - all the while costing way more than a regular phone, I don’t know if I’d feel comfortable using it. I already get uncomfortable handing my “normal” phone to someone to see, especially a kid.

BitingChaos@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•India, Russia, Japan and the US have launched the next phase of lunar explorationEnglish121·2 years agoImagine all the wonderful things Russia could be doing if they didn’t have Putin ruining everything.
Snap is the biggest issue.
The developers say they are awesome and the fans say they are awesome.
It doesn’t change the fact that they kinda suck, the forced updates kinda suck, and the tone-deafness of the fans kinda sucks.
