I must be living in some parallel dimension where unstable 30 FPS was the standard through nearly the entire previous console generation, even in non-open world games, which was still an upgrade from PS360 days. I wished I lived in your time continuum though.

You do realise Nintendo manufactures their stuff in Vietnam? Is it some rogue operation by Mecha Pol Pot or are you going to come up with some different head lore? xdddddd

I'm not sure about Windows specifically

That’s quite an important omission because we’re talking about Windows. Windows won’t run kernel or driver that’s not using expected certificates, what would be the point otherwise?

How did you come up with the idea that domestically produced hardware would have to be produced independently from Nintendo and not just Nintendo of America? xdddddd

Can you really sign your own modified Windows kernel or drivers? I don’t think that’s how cryptography works.

How easy is it for you to get to sleep? in c/casualconversation@piefed.social

I just woke up after blissful 3h of sleep because for some reason my brain is managed by a a bunch of monkeys on speed. If waking up was as easy.

According to that latest Princeton study on phenotypes of autism - approximately 37% of autistic population ;)

Secure boot requires OS kernel to be digitally signed so that’s just another way to prevent tampering. It’s not like those or any other games will be doing anything other than checking if it’s on because there’s not that much else it can be used for. Secure boot is annoying as hell if you use anything other than Windows though.

Qwant and Ecosia debut Staan, a European search index that aims to take on Big Tech (techcrunch.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/39942527

European search engines Qwant and Ecosia said on Wednesday that they have both started serving search queries through an index they developed together, Staan, which aims to be a cheaper, more privacy-focused alternative to Google and Bing.

Last year, French privacy-focused search engine Qwant struck a joint venture with German non-profit search engine Ecosia, to develop a European search index. Called European Search Perspective (EUSP), the JV now aims to serve around 50% of French queries and 33% of German queries by the end of the year.

Qwant said it is using the new index to power some of its features, like AI summaries for search, and Ecosia has plans to add some AI features soon to its platform, too.

EUSP is also in talks with companies to spur the adoption of its index for enabling search within apps. Notably, it is targeting chatbots, presenting Staan as a cheaper alternative to Google and Bing.

“If you’re using ChatGPT or any other AI chatbot, they all do knowledge grounding with web search […] our index can power deep research and AI summary features. Google and Bing’s solutions are also pricey, and our index can offer power search features at a tenth of the cost,” Christian Kroll, CEO of Ecosia, told TechCrunch.

EUSP, like Proton, is pushing to develop a European tech stack that doesn’t rely on technology from the U.S. or China.

“The timing could not be more urgent. The outcome of the 2024 U.S. election has reminded European policymakers and innovators just how exposed Europe remains when it comes to core digital infrastructure. Much of Europe’s search, cloud, and AI layers are built on American Big Tech stacks, putting entire sectors – from journalism to climate tech – at the mercy of political or commercial agendas,” the companies said in a statement.

Kroll added that through this index, combined with European privacy laws, EUSP can offer a more privacy-friendly search solution as compared to its U.S. counterparts.

They also go for autistic people because we love those pokémans. Can’t use children as an excuse to buy stuff but I’m the coolest uncle around.

This seems to be an unmoderated community/instance so I guess anything goes.

Do you reckon it’s more of a FAS thing that makes you go around calling people paedophiles or is it head trauma from being dropped repeatedly by your drunk mother?
