I played the first GTA once a bit and GTA Chinatown on the PSP. The latter I remember being fun. The others I never really got. Watchdogs and the later FarCry installments are more my thing.

... activate it's basic brain functions when it comes to using and applying IT and just like everybody else has to build a digital culture. Until that happens, "big tech" will shoo them around, regardless wether an individual vendor is from the US, Europe or anywhere else. Simply giving every citizen using a computer and the internet an ICDL training and a hardware crypto chip and replacing E-Mail and DNS with modern distributed crypto services _not_ from the steam age of computing would solve about 80% of all security problems.The other 20% would be covered if deciders actually knew the difference between a client and a server.

Until that happens we'll continue to have the IT equivalent of African bushmen trying to build a highway bridge out of Kudzu and leaves and wondering with things cost such obscene amounts of money without delivering any real results and jepoardizing public safety. ... And enabling bored teenagers to defrost industrial fridges across entire countries.

I've been using Blender as my main 3D tool for 26 years now (even have an old official NaN licence) and it's so fun to watch Blender perpetually knock it out of the park when it comes to new features and overall improvement. Blender at this point has basically "won" the 3D spaceand there ain't no stopping it. Nice. I like it.

"Return of the Return of the Living Dead" ?

Yeah, they'll recruit outrageously popular AIs to draw crowds at the cinema.

Go ahead and ruin every movie plot ever.

... dynamics is that to fully grasp how cunning and super-rational women can be when seducing a man you basically have to spend a considerable amount of your adult life exloring the sexual market place and studying women. But when you do that, you don't have the time to do a high-power career. Which makes super-performing billionaires exceptionally prone to getting trapped by women. See Jeff Bezos or this Nvidia guy for details.

If I were a large-scale back-room investor in these companies I'd make it mandatory that these men leave chosing their partners and intimacy companions entirely to a team of experts to save everyone involved any trouble. Men of this caliber have zero trouble getting a concubine (or a group of concubines) that are sweet to them, screw their brains out epic-style and bear their children.

If I were a billionaire I'd hire a concubine and be done with it. She'd've won the lottery and I would know exactly what to expect and be sound and safe if the lady choses to split. Not that I care, but I hope for Jeff Bezos sake that he has a prenup tripple-checked by an army of lawyers.

Sorry, but this isn't news. This is literally the exact warning scientists have been giving since the 1950ies of not earlier. If this is news to anyone making bigger decisions they need a spanking.

Why not hold the actual violators responsible rather than the infrastructure operators?

And only after their day in court.

... layer is? Is it FOSS? Is it cross platform? Ditching a web layer for something native is a good idea, even better when Rust is the main PL, but I'd really like to know what stack exactly they're using and if it's running a FOSS cross platform GUI. Can someone enlighten me?

BATMAN WITH a BONER!!! I never thought of that!

Some sources are reporting that not all relevant scientists agree that it has been "confirmed".

At this point we should probably be saying "claimed".

He said previously that he would move to Israel if team red lost.

Too bad about that TACO thing.

I liked Clinton's "entrance to Liberace's bathroom" better.

First they bosted tape production, and I didn't say anything because I wasn't tape production.
