on Hellblade developer Ninja Theory heading towards closure in new wave of Xbox cuts, as two separate agreements collapse in c/games@lemmy.world · 2d ago
I read a good article a while back about how Microsoft needs to choose whether there are console maker or a game publisher. As a company, you can’t succeed at both because fundamentally those two approaches are at odds with each other. Consoles need exclusives. But game publishers need maximum exposure, which comes from NOT being exclusive.
FWIW, I don’t think Sharma understands this.

Woah. What’s going on at Bungie that prompted this sudden change?

Xbox snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.
Sony is fucking up left and right, and gamers are pissed at them. This should be a slam dunk situation for Microsoft, but here we are. -

For real. Cloud gaming was just starting to get somewhat appealing, here they are killing any momentum it may have had.

on Android users can't remove nude-scanning app as Google opens the feature to app developers in c/technology@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
Does Textra support RCS?
The RCS interfaces (APIs) on Android are currently only available for Google internally to use, no other third party developer has access.
We are hopeful Google will make these RCS interfaces available in the near future to all developers (in the spirit of Android open source), so that Textra SMS can also offer RCS functionality.

For now its only supposed to check Google Messages, so not if you use a different text app.
Shameless plug for Textra as a much, much better alternative.

Yeah, exactly! This should serve no purpose other than reminding people to cancel their subscription from the Olympics or last season’s NFL playoffs.
TBH, I was shocked to find out that it’s already higher than $8 a month. Absolutely laughable prices here.

on Why your Amazon order confirmation emails have become so unhelpful in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
Don’t forget the fact that you absolutely, positively cannot trust the quality of the item that will arrive. At this point, you’re much more likely to get some third party knock off with a lot of popular items.
Usability-reducing features like this do me a favor by giving me yet another reason to use Amazon less and less.

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
You don’t really need anything else. Frankly, the guy you’re replying to is being a whiny bitch about this. FF + uBlock is plenty - all you have to do is spend 60 seconds configuring it.
Toggle FF’s AI killswitch to the “enabled” option, set your default search engine to whatever you prefer, and turn on uBlock’s “annoyances” list. That’s it.

It’s bait. The only “better” browsers are downstreams of FF.

on How Claude marks AI-generated content: (1) watermarks embedded in text, and (2) signed provenance metadata attached to files. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
1. Embedded watermarks in text
When a supported Claude model generates text, it weaves an imperceptible watermark directly into the text itself. You won’t see it, and it doesn’t change the meaning, quality, or readability of Claude’s response.
Because the watermark is part of the text, it will travel with the text when it’s copied and pasted elsewhere, and may persist through some editing. Watermarking will be applied at the model level, which means it will be present no matter which Claude product or surface the text comes from.
Can someone ELI5 how this would actually work, especially with copying and pasting?

on 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
6 will actually be “RAM suppliers buy the stock in bulk and sell as refurbs, keeping prices up”
How much time does that prodding take vs how long would it take you to just write the (better) code yourself?
