I'm surprised there's not an evident fork yet.

Real issues and contributions aside; creating one plugin is not contributing to Wordpress core/itself. And if they make good money over many years, I would agree that that alone is not a proportional or very significant contribution.

The plugin was evidently significant. But doesn't necessarily indicate overall contributions or proportionality.

btw, I love your avatar :D

I don't see any mention of an ML assistant?

[–] Kissaki 1 points 1 month ago

Sorry about that.

As a side note; An '/s', used to indicate sarcasm, would have made it clear to me that it is a joke.

and then modify these using neutral prompts to meet a business goal (e.g., “increase the likelihood of us selling our product”).

Doesn't seem much different from pushing/pressuring a human to meet a business goal like that.

If it was intended as a joke, I don't see what would indicate it as such.

There are comments and people that like to spin this story. So I assume that's what the comment was. Meaning what it's saying.

I do ask when things are unclear or to open up the other party to elaborate on their views or meanings. I don't know what I could have asked here though.

I took no [personal] offense. I replied because I did not want to let that outlandish, divisive, conspiracy claim stand without any refute or criticism.

All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

With the right joystick in place, it's certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.

Not like you think it is. It's not a small exclusive club where they do what they want in a planned manner and only to their own gain and amusement.

What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?

We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.

Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It's useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.

I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.

Why does the repo have a different icon than the addon? Very confusing.

I've been using Gesturefy for many years. I'm making heavy use of next, prev, close, reload tab actions. Sometimes I use primarily keyboard, and sometimes primarily the mouse. Left or right hand, combined, or just one of the two. I love Gesturefy.

I stumbled over this independent journalist and transparency advocate's website, which has a page titled "123 Things Emma Did", which has highlights like the following and made me want to share

  1. I was once chastised for “having a staring contest with a security camera.”
  2. They said I wasn’t allowed to use the suggestion box anymore because I kept suggesting design changes for the box.

Looking at the About page, she has an impressive record [beyond trolling/having fun].

Steam store pages received a new Anti-cheat field. Disclosure is mandatory for kernel-level anti-cheat solutions. And recommended for other anti-cheat solutions (like server-side or non-kernel-level client-side).

The field discloses the anti-cheat product, whether it is a kernel-level installation, and whether it uninstalls with the product or requires manual removal to remove.

This game is so pointless and forgettable that I can't even be bothered to write a description. It sucks, don't play it. Watch my video instead!

This GitHub repository has the technical details.

 

Abstract (added emphasis and paragraphing):

Anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions increases from the period 1850–1900 until 2019 are responsible for around 65% as much warming as carbon dioxide (CO2) has caused to date, and large reductions in methane emissions are required to limit global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.

However, methane emissions have been increasing rapidly since ~2006. This study shows that emissions are expected to continue to increase over the remainder of the 2020s if no greater action is taken and that increases in atmospheric methane are thus far outpacing projected growth rates.

This increase has important implications for reaching net zero CO2 targets: every 50 Mt CH4 of the sustained large cuts envisioned under low-warming scenarios that are not realized would eliminate about 150 Gt of the remaining CO2 budget. Targeted methane reductions are therefore a critical component alongside decarbonization to minimize global warming.

We describe additional linkages between methane mitigation options and CO2, especially via land use, as well as their respective climate impacts and associated metrics. We explain why a net zero target specifically for methane is neither necessary nor plausible. Analyses show where reductions are most feasible at the national and sectoral levels given limited resources, for example, to meet the Global Methane Pledge target, but they also reveal large uncertainties.

Despite these uncertainties, many mitigation costs are clearly low relative to real-world financial instruments and very low compared with methane damage estimates, but legally binding regulations and methane pricing are needed to meet climate goals.

Up to 6, sharing your shareable games library

Adult and child accounts, limit child accounts, approve and pay for child buy requests,

Intended for close household family; can't join a different one until one year after joining

If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game. Other family members are not impacted.

haha

 

researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate the relationship between AI disclosure and consumer behavior

The findings consistently showed products described as using artificial intelligence were less popular

“When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions,”
