1km 🤡

Also it’s an autumn day and the office heating is just a little hot and stuffy

Same in the UK, would have been an automatic driving ban already with that many occasions of speeding - no difference between a camera and a cop here, they both count exactly the same.

[The proposal] defines a deepfake as a very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.

The government said the new rules would not affect parodies and satire, which would still be permitted.

Seems like they’ve already thought about this, and the law will cover only digital clones, not human lookalikes - plus carve-outs for fair use satire.

I have two blåhaj - one in my bed for snuggles, who is well loved and well worn, and one hanging out on the back of my sofa for “Sunday Best” 😆

🤮

Exactly :)

I’ve worked as a dev for the national health service in the UK, and all new government services promote a high standard of accessibility. We did a lot of in-person testing with users in labs, in rooms with the one-way mirrors like in a police interview and everything! Users with physical needs, and also users who are simply older, or have low tech literacy.

“Accessibility” covers a huge spectrum This can be the obvious things you might imagine like alt text on images, screen reader compatibility and dyslexic-friendly fonts, but it’s so much more.

We’re talking about things like ensuring good text contrast on all elements, making everything desktop and mobile responsive, using clear and simple language for instructions, and making the steps and user journey straightforward and easy to navigate.

A lot of accessibility concerns don’t only make the service better for people with specific needs, they make it overall better for everyone.

I’m glad I’m one of those people who can’t seem to percieve any difference above 60Hz

Having low standards is pretty convenient

My rule is I can’t buy a game unless I am going to play it that same day.

Even in cases where the rule causes me to miss a sale and end up buying the game later, I’m sure it still saves me money, and - more importantly - saves a tremendous amount of regret and stress caused by buying games that would just sit my library unplayed.

The beginning of this headline had me mislead.

I read ‘creepiest publisher’, and with the state of the industry these days I immediately thought it was going to be some exposé piece on a toxic culture of workplace misogyny, and sexual harassment.

Glad it’s actually a cool studio doing interesting things!

I don’t think we want that. It sets some weird precedent that instances need to be lemmy-dot-something, which is both untrue and restrictive on server hosts as a barrier for entry if that becomes the universal convention.

I assumed they meant ‘baked potato’ because ‘baked potato’ is what they said.

Yes, of course it will be online.

Exactly the same for me.

Notifications are allowed only when they serve as a convenience mechanism to tell me something happened in my life that I want to know about and care about.

They are not allowed when they function purely as a free interrupt mechanism to allow a corporation to monetise my attention for their profit.

Anyone with news alerts turned on, do yourself a favour and turn them off.

The news is always available - if and when you want it. You don’t need to allow yourself to be barraged by it 24/7.

And after the apocalypse is finished there’s probably gonna be Iike, jobs available, and plenty of empty real estate. Opportunities!

Cloudflare presumably don’t want to give away the identity of their customer.

Even if only 1% of people used adblock, then that’s 1% of millions of dollars of ad revenue. It’s easily enough to put several people on this as a full time job if they want to.

I’m sure Google saw it as only a minor issue at first, but the number of people using adblockers is presumably going up all the time.

The irony being of course that adblock usage is skyrocketing only because companies like Google have made the Internet so thoroughly ad-polluted it’s intolerable to go without one.

The real dress is actually blue and black, yes, but the illustration tries to show how the exact same colours can look different depending on lighting and context.

In the diagram, the dress on the left is strongly blue and black, while the dress on the right is strongly white and yellow.

And yet the connected parts of the dresses with the “pipes” between them show the exact same colour on one dress can look like a different color on the other. The “pipe” is there so you can follow it with your own eyes from one side to the other and observe that it is indeed the same colour on both sides, despite looking very different when observed as part of the whole image.

The point being, how our brains perceive colour is very situationally dependent, and some people assume a different situation than others, hence the differences in perception.

People tend to believe that vision is absolute, that we all have the same eyes and see the same things, but that’s absolutely not true. The dress phenomenon occurred because It’s not about what your “eyes” see in absolute terms, it’s about what your “brain” does with that information.
