Then there were 2,000 in 2017. Now, eight years later, another milestone: 3,028 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs make up this year’s ranking, 247 more than a year ago. Not only are there more of them, but they’re richer than ever, worth $16.1 trillion in total—up nearly $2 trillion over 2024.
The earth is a resort for 3,028 people.
Not working for me on Voyager.
Just unfolds the body of the post.
Is this supposed to be a link to the trailer ?
You’re that character they bring in to solve the weird murders.
IT pros would’ve had the opposite problem.
“It’s really not that complicated. What you have is 802.11n, which is 15 years old at this point. I could upgrade you to 802.11be with brand new hardware, but that’d be a waste of money. I’ve got a router in the truck that–”
For those who don’t want to go to Elmo’s circlejerk.
R.M.: So it’s like the cover of chapter 9 of “Otherside Picnic”, where the two girls ride on a farming vehicle, and a boundless meadow is around them… You’re saying this is yuri.
I.M.: Yes. Now remove both girls from this scenery.
R.M.: Right.
I.M.: A rusty, decaying vehicle is resting on top of wheel tracks.
R.M.: Right.
I.M.: Then you imagine that one day two girls were there… Isn’t that already totally yuri?
R.M.: Right…
I.M.: So a grassland somehow becomes yuri.

Is there an everything_is_yuri comm?
It’s even worse than that.
I don’t know how, I just wanted to say it, too.
What would a more efficient version look like ?
I think straight people assume explaining homosexuality means you have to tell your kids how gay sex works in explicit detail.
In some families, this would lead to a cold war where they just keep using the wrong names for each other until death.
Future generations grow up thinking those are their actual names because it’s what they’ve always called each other.
“We had multiple publishers actively coming to us,” explains Pietro, “and be like, ‘Hey, we want to make this game.’” And many of those big publishers were initially unperturbed by Steam’s ban. “The main reaction,” he recalls, “was, ‘Leave that to me… I know everyone at Valve, let me figure it out’, and so they’d take the game, and a month later they’d come back and be like, ‘No, you’re fucked. Bye.’” And seemingly nothing will get Valve to budge. “We’ve tried everything,” Pietro continues. “I was already in touch with a real human being [at Valve] since our first onboarding on Steam… but they were like, ‘I’m sorry this happened… I don’t have insights on the reasons for the ban. I’ve brought your plea to the review team and they’ve declined to re-review and their decision is final.’”
Wtf? It sounds like someone powerful at Valve made a mistake and would rather let this studio close than admit it.
Edit : Caught this on a re-read. Definitely sounds more sussy now.
In the early build reviewed by Valve, day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked “horse” while it’s led by the player.
Next, he’ll walk past a convenient steam pipe leak.
No idea. I don’t post from mastodon, so I haven’t explored that function
In a final bid to save the product, Google has quarantined the model in a server room with no WiFi, feeding it only proprietary Oracle Java documentation in hopes of breaking its spirit.
😂
Are they abandoning it? Where are they going instead?
The FTC argued that Meta had maintained illegal monopoly power in the narrow sector of the social media market by gobbling up nascent competitors, Instagram and WhatsApp, it feared could threaten its dominance. But throughout the trial, the FTC was dogged by questions about whether it could claim Meta still had that illegal monopoly in the face of a greatly changed social media landscape. Boasberg said the government had to prove current or imminent illegal monopolization, not just past dominance.
Technically, fair on the judge’s part.
I think this is more like Meta winning by delaying the case until it could win on a technicality.
If these arguments had come up when the suit was originally filed, Meta would have lost the case, because TikTok hadn’t grown to be the competitor it is now.
Putting on my tinfoil hat: Meta let TikTok grow in order to avoid being broken up for being a monopoly.
If you care about personal privacy, any replacement firmware will be an improvement over what a smartphone vendor provides. The trick, for most people, will be balancing the competing needs of privacy, compatibility, and convenience. Graphene ought to score highly in both privacy and compatibility, but it only supports a few devices, and its security hardening can make it quirky. ∕e∕OS scores for convenience and support if you’re a Murena customer, but has little to recommend it over Lineage otherwise, in my view. Lineage probably remains the geek’s choice, despite the maintainers’ increasing disdain for tinkering with it.
Using any replacement firmware will be inconvenient if you’re tied to Google’s services, as many of us are. You can try to continue to use those services, but in a less privacy-crushing way, and Graphene and ∕e∕OS purport to offer some help with that. However, I think you’d need to be both knowledgeable and careful to use Google Services, even in these restrictive environments, without inadvertently sacrificing privacy. To my mind, if you want to de-Google, you have to find replacements for Google, not ways to appease Google.
As a Graphene user, I can agree about the frustrations quirks of the OS.
I was looking for reasons to switch to Lineage, but I think I am not yet geek enough to make the switch.
Here was the best tutorial I could find for it.
You can create posts in Lemmy communities by tagging the community account
(It should be a public post)
If the community account is tagged with @, it will share the post and the post will also appear in the forum.
For example, this is a post I created from Mastodon in feddit’s #Tischtennis forum: metalhead.club/@caos/112749905… … and this is how it is displayed in Lemmy: feddit.org/post/556495The only thing to note from Mastodon and Akkoma etc. is: The beginning of the post/the first paragraph becomes the title of the forum post, as Mastodon does not have a heading field. (see also: Instructions Creating a post from Mastodon)
So it is best to start the post like this (see image 1):
This is my headline (as descriptive a title as possible)
@community@lemmy-instance
This is the further text, link etc.
if necessary a picture (only in the initial post a picture is transferred from Mastodon to Lemmy, between Lemmy and Friendica all images in answers are transferred in the meantime)
And again, the convenient environmental sensor.
