European LOBBYISTS are against Stop Killing Games :kekw:

It's hilarious that they're making the exact SAME statements that fucking Pirate Software was and is making. It's almost as if he was always a plant. They completely misinterpret it THE SAME WAY THAT FAG DID. :guraKekw:

Look at these fucking niggers. :zt_laugh: The fucking stereotypes are real. Look at all those companies, the exact same companies EVERYONE knows would take part in this type of lobbyist posturing. videogameseurope.eu/about/our-…


Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE

We appreciate the passion of our community; however, the decision to discontinue online services is multi-faceted, never taken lightly and must be an option for companies when an online experience is no longer commercially viable.

I can't believe I have to say this mastodon. This isn't 1996, and you're not learning how to use Eudora:

When you're replying to a boosted post: Do. Not. CC. Everyone.

Reply directly to the person you're trying to speak to. Remove the @'s to everyone else not directly involved in the conversation.

yes, I know the clients automatically chain on the usernames of everyone involved in the post, but this is 1990s era basic netiquette and not magic.

The depravity of Trump supporters has no limits. They are walking monsters and every single one of them should be dead. I would give my right arm for a Politician to run that promises to deport and strip the citizenship of every single Trump supporter.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, responds to US calls for her removal from the UN, reaffirming her mandate to speak out against war crimes and genocide.

She discusses "Israel’s" recent attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, denounces violations of international law, and highlights the global community’s failure to hold the Israeli regime accountable.

The propaganda machine is tuned so unless the target is on their payroll they wouldn't mention their name even if it appears as a worst enemy.
By directing criticism and making a hero of their opponent they are telling you who to support. Individual opponents with no political commitments are much more manageable than ideas.

So keep expecting from media personas to ever bring change, it will never come.
Look for ideas, principles, proposals that are never mentioned by media

Today I coded something I've been dreaming about for many months - a solution to the #ActivityPub scaling problem.

The problem is that if 20 people cast 5 votes and those votes are federated to 500 servers, the instance hosting the community needs to do 20 * 5 * 500 = 50,000 network requests.

The solution is to bundle the activity up into chunks. I describe the solution and how #PieFed does it here peertube.wtf/w/v5aWpxjS2P4pJSn… (probably only of interest to developers).

There are two very important lessons here. 1) Don't trust #Adobe. For real. Adobe has been pulling shit like this for *years* and yet people still continue to use it or go back. Why? Are you masochists? There *are* alternatives. Both open-source and commercial. **Use them.** 2) It's safe to assume that any new software update will probably include features you're not interested in. Whether it be the #Cloud or #AI or AI in the Cloud. I don't know about you but I *religiously* go through every single setting and configuration page of every new software I install (or update) prior to me using it. It's a great way to learn new things about the software you're about to use.

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

As someone who is forced to use multiple Adobe products at work, I concurr 100%. Adobe are sneaky shitty mcshittersons. And the amount of sneaky shit they sneak into your software is astounding.

The one and so far ONLY thing I have found that any Adobe package still does better than anything else is Acrobat comparing two PDFs.

No idea why my overly religious IT dept. is OK with Adobe crunching our IP in PDF form in their cloud, yet I can't use some foss tool that doesn't leave my PC.

Before I retired from the InfoSec group at the power company I worked at, we were an Adobe shop for decades. We had a lot of critical business processes built-up around Acrobat and other Adobe products. Especially in Supply Chain and Vendor Management.

Then it came down to money. (That and the constant patching.)

Finally the bean counters in IT realized how much money we were throwing away at Adobe and in less than a year we completely switched and re-tooled those business processes to move away.

It wasn't that hard.

Maybe one day your Company's bean counters will see the same light.

Can we talk for a minute about how completely ludicrous a $4T valuation is for a company like NVIDIA or Microsoft? Investors often talk about P/E: the ratio of the share price (P) to the earnings per share (E). Or, if you simplify the equation slightly, the market capitalisation (price per share multiplied by number of shares) divided by the annual profit. This is, roughly, how many years it would take the company to make the amount of money that it is valued at. For NVIDIA and Microsoft, these ratios are, roughly, 50 and 40, respectively.

The simplest model of share ownership is that you get a share of the company’s profits. In practice, that only applies to companies in the ‘cash cow’ phase, where they are no longer growing and are just redistributing all excess income to shareholders. This kind of P/E would be ludicrous for such a company. With a P/E of 50, the company would be returning at most 2% of your investment each year, which is the kind of return you get from bonds at much lower risk. The idea for growing companies is that they’re investing a lot of their profits (and money raised by diluting shares) in growth. Putting money in now lets them become more valuable and that means that you’re happy to not even get the 2% return now because you expect to get a larger return on a larger valuation in the future. If a company has a share price of 100 and, instead of giving you a 2% return, it spends five years investing in growth and turns into a company with a share price of 1,000, then gives you a 1% return, you’ll make as much in the fifth year as you would have in the first five years in total if they had just returned the money, then you’ll make the same again in the sixth.

So far, so good. But let’s think about another ration: price to maximum-possible-earning-in-shiny-pixie-land. Let’s call it Price to Pixie ratio, P/Px. There are 8B people in the world (roughly). A trillion is a thousand billion, so a 4T market cap means that you have a valuation of $500/person. That’s more than the annual disposable income for a large proportion of the population. The median wealth for people is around $8K, a number somewhat skewed by the large number of people with a lot less. These valuations are all assuming a lot of growth, but how many people can actually afford to spend more on NVIDIA or Microsoft products? Of those, how many of those would choose to? These companies are making a lot of money at the moment because of lock in. Microsoft with Win32 and Office / SharePoint, NVIDIA with CUDA. That’s very fragile.

I wouldn’t be surprised if P/Px for these companies is only very slightly lower than P/E: if everyone who could afford their products bought them, it wouldn’t move the needle on their earnings more than 50%. For either company to be at a stable P/E, you’d need everyone in the world to be spending $20/year with them. Or the people in rich countries to be spending in excess of $200/year. Can you think of any company, in any market where that would make sense? At the moment, that spending is heavily skewed to other companies burning VC money for both. For Microsoft, it’s other companies who believe that they make more in increased productivity from using their systems than using something else, but between putting up prices for M365 for features no one wants and firing all of the people who build the things customers actually care about, that doesn’t look like a long-term revenue stream. NVIDIA’s revenue comes primarily from selling to companies that sell to companies that burn VC money and make a loss. Again, not sustainable. Which may mean that Px < E for both companies.

And that’s exactly the situation that leads you to a crash.

NOAA has a lot of specific specialized offices their Nation Centers for Environmental Prediction, Weather Prediction Center issues the excessive rainfall forecast. You can go back through historical forecasts, I did not see any significant excessive rainfall forecast for Texas, and this was the region in Slight category, issued July 3rd. Being in a poor cellular service area having a NOAA weather alert radio would help if they issue an alert.
