Well, actually it can be. It just takes a lot more to decompile code than compile it. Depending on the objective accuracy.

Example: the Super Mario 64 Decompilation project. This was a project that used various debug data that was left in the rom to decompile the game back to a source code that compiled a byte accurate version of the rom. This took about 3 years and a lot of skilled developers to accomplish.

Side note: Super Mario Bros wasn’t built using a compiled language, but rather Assembly. So technically that would be a Disassembly not a Decompilation.

Which they claim is illegal and a violation of the DMCA

If you can own nothing, then nothing is theft.

yes but it doesn’t always feel like it.

LinkedIn feels like Uncanny Valley social media.

Like there are Alternates there trying to imitate human interactions.

‘LinkedIn’

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It’s really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

Grub and GrubHub

We’re in the “dropping the act” phase of capitalism.

This is just standard monopoly-speak these days.

“Ron stood there with his Ron shirt.”

Make it deceptively easy to read.

It appears easy to read in a review of the code, but upon any further glance, to actually keep it up, the only one who can understand it is you.

Next week: EU to ban web browsing, for security.

Seriously, why is the EU such an insane flipflop, going from one side of the political spectrum to the other in as little as a few hours sometimes?

My brain after reading the title:

Granting fascists access to other fascists to become super fascist groups is the most dangerous part of social media.

Given that most of the main social media platforms now are owned by capitalist fascist dickheads, its only going to get worse.

If social networking like Lemmy or Mastodon were more mainstream, we could just name, shame and isolate these monsters. If they can’t interact with people outside of their group without getting instanbanned or insta-defederated, then they’ll either delve deeper and deeper into their nonsense, until their instances gets raided or they’ll venture out of their alt-right safe-haven and get hit with reality and rejoin society.

Didn’t he already write a public letter explaining how what they did does reveal ads, but that it was unfair because they went ad hunting and searched for ads on a page?

Boohoo, just because they over-searched to see it happen, means that it can and does happen.

This is a failure on your part, not theirs. This is how scientific research is conducted.

Not that you understand science or handling failure, Elon.

I mean if I name them do I have to own the domain or…

Damn, if only the systems your phone network were ran on hadn’t been forcibly closed source and scared good devs from interacting with you because of your sue-happy nature regarding BSD/Unix.

No, a UPS uses at least 1 Lead-Acid battery, not LI-ION.

Sweet, Sweet, Linear Algebra

While the average hourly wage for men was $35.50 last year, Indigenous women earned an average of $26.74 an hour. Indigenous men earned an average wage of $31.03 an hour. Immigrant women earned an average of $28.78 an hour compared with immigrant men, who earned an average of $36.42 an hour.

In “Freedom” money:

• 35.50 CAD = 25.63 USD
• 26.74 CAD = 19.30 USD
• 31.03 CAD = 22.40 USD
• 28.78 CAD = 20.77 USD
• 36.42 CAD = 26.29 USD

Meanwhile here in the “land of the free” where those conversions are relevant, my hourly isn’t even close to that 19.30 USD.

Reddit is a lost cause.
