Chess hasn’t been updated in almost 200 years and it’s obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.
I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like “castling” and “en passant” instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I’ve been complaining for years about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The ‘clipping-through-pieces’ bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.
Don’t support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.
@aliss And of course now they're adding AI to it, like losing to strangers wasn't annoying enough.
@sjvn Surprisingly, they're the same species.
@brettk Rogers Canada reported profit of almost $5 billion and 26 thousand employees in 2023. They could give each of their employees $100k/year raise and still get $2.5 billion profit. They're afraid of people internalizing facts like that one.
Oh hey look, a big Canadian corporation working to undermine #WorkFromHome via a cute little ad campaign for their broadband service.
Make no mistake, this is anti-worker propaganda, plain and simple.
@Richard_Littler 0.4% stretches the "non-alcoholic" claim a bit.
Reading all these articles about the high traffic from AI bots, here is my experience from a small German hoster: It's a huge problem, and it is getting worse very fast. There are bots like claudebot from Antrophic which are so aggressive that they block whole systems, outranking actual attacks for example against WordPress. And they change their AWS cloud IPs so often that blocking doesn't help for long and they also ignore robots.txt. Our on-call is regularly alerted for such issues.
@genehack Piezo speaker? I appreciate the throwback, but how do you use that?
@Richard_Littler And he was famous at the time.
@Richard_Littler The Smiths had Elvis Presley on their cover, but I don't know if that counts - Elvis is a pop culture icon as much as he was a musician.
@gabrielesvelto Its a wealth indicator for people with too much money.
@HoustonDog @LivingCooki Depending on perspective it's just as easy to run a VM to run a Windows program or use Internet Explorer. Assume Ng the software wasn't on a CD :)
@marti @rebeccawatson Black unemployment went down a lot and Lina Khan is doing good pro-worker and pro-competition work.
@lcamtuf I never make mistakes and despise people who do.
@tante Fascism is more streamlined because you only need to pay one politician.
@ramsey If you actually need to do it this way (i.e. calculate from imperfect data) and along the stats you've stored the number of items in each bucket (parameter set), you can do a weighted average to emphasize the larger buckets, that should be closer to the actual result.
@Richard_Littler great album indeed
