The Amazon River dolphins, also known as the Boto Dolphins or Amazon Pink River Dolphins are playful, curious and intelligent mammals, the largest river dolphin species in the world. Known for their stunning pink coloured skin they are endangered due to human-related threats like #palmoil, #meat and #soy #deforestation, #gold #mining and #pollution. Help them survive each time you shop and use your wallet as a weapon. Be #vegan, #Boycottpalmoil and #Boycott4Wildlife

First Steam Deck plugin on Steam will bring GOG and Epic Games compatibility gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/firs…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I currently use Heroic to do that. I also use Prime Gaming with Heroic, so I wouldn't be able to replace Heroic with this for that.

What I really want is Windows Store. I've got Doom Eternal there (got it for free), but no Windows PC to play it on.

The Council of the EU has adopted the #CRA Cyber Resilience Act yesterday. This will have huge consequences for everyone who ships hardware and software as a product. Almost no actual open source developers face direct regulation (for writing software), but the users of our open source software very much do. The CRA notably suggests that commercial users pony up for improved open source security attestation. It is a big act, but it offers real possibilities for making better software! 1/2

Steam Deck officially comes to Australia in November gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/stea…

#SteamDeck #Steam #Valve

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Nice, the Deck has been available in Australia for about a year through large brand grey importers (complete with an independent warranty), and smaller places since it came out. Good to see official support.



So much easier to sleep when you are covered in polar fleece!

3 years ago, we filed a complaint with the EU Commission against Microsoft's anti-competitive practices 🕵🏼‍♀️

Today, German antitrust authorities rule to hold them accountable.

Let's keep the pressure on for a fair and competitive tech industry! 🦾

So I made a macOS thing. It's a fidget spinner, but with a twist.

Made possible thanks to @samhenrigold posting about his own experiments with these private APIs.

Electric cars should have a bullhorn outputting pingu noises corresponding to ac/deceleration and other control inputs.

My car needs a Pengu bullhorn that proudly declares, "BTW, I use Arch Linux!"

I know that the French have a bad reputation when they travel abroad, more so than other nationalities... and they also have a reputation for being grouchy!
Mass tourism brings uneducated people face to face with other cultures, and this often causes sparks to fly... Such is our world :/

But to get back to the French language, it's rare for foreigners to try to speak it. That's why it's appreciated. The pronunciation is very tricky... There are lots of letters that are not pronounced the same depending on their place in the word...
But this map is just a kind of joke and France is not only Paris ;))

in reply to Muse

"France is not only Paris ;))"

Absolutely not! Why simply go to Paris in order to see the work of great artists, when you can go to the countryside and see where those paintings were created!

The Nobel committee out here doing the devil’s work. They've moved on from their specialty in awarding peace prizes to genociders, to now giving Hinton one in…physics?

So the news is gonna be "Nobel laureate" telling us that “super intelligent” text synthesis machines will render us extinct 🙄

This dude is now a "Nobel laureate."

"he said Gebru’s ideas “aren’t as existentially serious as the idea of these things getting more intelligent than us and taking over.”

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 15 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

After another spam wave, we're so grateful for @iftas

Have you longed for some wise people talking about #AI, who know what they’re speaking about, but aren’t at the same time in the ownership or beneficiary classes from these technologies?

So have I.

The myths Silicon Valley tries to sell us are busted here, but not in a dismissive or doomy way. Harari & Raskin recognize the amazing potential of AI, while they see also the potential of not having a functioning society at the end to enjoy the benefits.

The real permission is in the fast stores of venture capital available to them.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

@ntnsndr i agree that makes a great difference. But governance begins where money’s influence ends, and it is by ideology & rhetoric.. I would even go as far as saying mythology.. that they capture the hearts and minds of the public & regulators.
