Ah but you see, their candidates are the only ones promoting the TRUE GOP agenda, unlike all those other RINOs who are corrupt and need pushing further right. And if nothing gets done, or more freedoms taken away, either way, just more proof that government doesn't work and they made the right vote.

I want to switch to gaming on linux so bad. Just a few weeks ago I ran into a sudden issue where any source game I launched in windows would crash my graphics driver, totally unrecoverable without restarting the PC (even shift+ctrl+win+b did nothing) and on some restarts I found myself being forced to boot on integrated graphics and fully reinstall drivers. Total shitshow, started while I was midgame and came out of nowhere, couldn't figure anything out.

I finally gave up and installed mint, got steam set up and downloading, started moving over some my backed up files... only to find out that a thing I'd ordered to make my VR headset wireless wasn't going to have Linux drivers. I was gonna have to dual boot windows at the very least. And I've had other experiences where Windows updates have broken Grub and forced me to do reinstalls as well, so...

The day can't come fast enough where companies just build stuff for Linux. The Windows UI gets worse with every release, and it's really not as bug-free as people seem to think, it just has market share and companies tend to build for it by default. Completely self-fulfilling prophecy.

agreed. ive had crickets at a local restaurant and once when i went to ecuador i had these giant roasted termites. both were well prepared and tasted good, but they also both (the termites in particular) had a bad texture and had pieces that just didn’t want to get swallowed. like if popcorn had 200% more kernel.

These are the same people who came up with "where we go one we go all"

Xbox emulation looks underdeveloped compared to PlayStation and Wii, but from what I can tell Xenia has come a long way in the last couple of years. If you're willing to give it a go, you could try ripping the games off your discs and just play on PC

On the one hand people should be allowed to flee oppressive regimes without being met by the army... on the other, Putin poisoned that well by flooding eastern Ukraine with false "immigrants" who then "voted" to join Russia. Not hard to believe Lukashenko would be using the same playbook.

Also, the idea that Lukashenko has been stopping Wagner from attacking Poland is absolutely wild. With Russia now publicly funding the group, wouldn't that be considered an attack on NATO?

lemmy has like 100k users, maybe less if we go by users within the last month. definitely way way more than before the api debacle but nowhere near millions

it automatically greases the fan when it gets too hot

They're still useful. For one, this study appears to focus solely on "distorted text field" captchas, which I'm pretty sure have been known to be solvable by bots for years now. For another, they can still provide useful metrics to determine whether a user is a bot or not depending on how much telemetry is available. Even text distortions can factor in whether cursor movement and typing cadence appears human. The article mentions that bots can solve captchas in under a second, which sounds scary but is something humans would not be able to do--so that can be used as another filter.

Plus, just because some bots CAN solve them doesn't mean ALL bots can. It's another layer of work for anyone trying to create bots accounts to deal with.
