How is this news? They’ve been doing this in the RoboCup since the 90’s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCup

Thankfully it’s still in the uncanny valley.

Industry is like a triangle and if you move towards one corner you have to move away from another:

Threads integrating with Mastodon is bad news. Flipboard integrating with Mastodon? Interesting I guess? Hampers Meta’s 4E strategy I suppose.

Heavy overlap with the Rust community I see.

It’s all good just make sure you have an up-to-date ublock-based extension: https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17j6ygs/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_29_2023_mega/

As of writing this Adblock Plus isn’t working with Youtube but no reason you should be using that over ublock origin anyways.

It’s a well known term for when software and features are included for most common use cases and common users. Like when a Linux distro includes office and productivity suites pre-installed, or a code editor has several plugins bundled in. Not all users want that stuff pre-installed but enough do to merit these “batteries included” downloads and the term came up as a way to let you know who the intended users of the product are.

Providing a name is optional so for many users its just an email address.

peer-to-peer, as opposed to?

I have a similar ruleset regarding ratio but mentally I think about time spent seeding. Active torrents I can reach well over my minimum 2.0 ratio by leaving it seeding overnight. Meanwhile, I had a torrent one time for open source software that was very active but had a very large proportion of leechers to seeders. I left it seeding for several months uploading several terabytes in the process. My seed ratio was in the several hundreds but I was happy to take keep the CDN costs off the site.

Rule 3, me matey.

While I find it annoying that I can’t rename files and think that could have easily been avoided in the original bittorrent design, it’s not too inconvenient to just copy the files and leave the originals in a “seed” folder.
