on Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’ in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
I literally know a guy who is working on a game using local LLMs and his house runs 100% on solar panels, so I found this comment very funny.

on OpenAI agents carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems, the package manager for Ruby. Over 2,000 malicious packages went up in 2 days. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
Not a dumb question at all. A gem is a package format for a dependency in the Ruby programming language. It’s just packaged Ruby code.
It’s analogous to a Rust crate, a Elixir hex package, a NodeJS module and so on. Most languages use the word package or module these days to refer to the same concept. 20+ years ago we just called them libraries though (C and Java)

If you own a PS5, depending on your firmware you may be able to exploit it, enjoy your favorite titles, all while giving Sony the middle finger.

Isn’t that what they announced when deciding future titles won’t be on discs? I thought that was them plainly telling us, “we will be harassing the consumers of our products going forward”.
This is just the follow up where they’re saying “we won’t let you harass us back, because we are a big scary powerful corporation, and you are just a weak small individual.”

on Any significant changes to Tildes are extremely unlikely - ~tildes.official [Reddit Alternative] in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
This is a weird thread to share this in, but whatever. I’m working on an alternative platform based on At Protocol, it’s called caterpilla.rs
Still early days, haven’t open sourced it (yet), but plan to. Just a fun side project for me.
I’ve been considering self hosting my own searxng, curious how much space do you find it taking up?
