According to this article, they "sold 846.63 million tokens valued at $12.7 million" on the first day, leaving "19.1 billion coins worth $287 million unsold".
At the current price, $12.7 million USD would require 65,376,030 Trillion WLFI, so to get the money back you just have to own 3.2 billion times more WLFI tokens that exist.

Hide you from the view of anyone you block. Essentially, when you block someone, they should automatically be forced to block you as well.

Block on Lemmy, and now Twitter, works like it used to on Reddit few years back, and the main criticism and massive issue with is that because it's just a mute/hide, you can't see what they post and they can keep commenting on your posts with whatever they want. It was huge issue on Reddit where assholes kept following users and commenting slander and falsehoods to every single post or comment they made.
Everyone else sees all of those comments as the first reply, but you are blissfully ignorant of them.

Discord is a fantastic IRC replacement.
The issue is that people try to use it to replace forums, wikis, personal websites, issue trackers, git, and the kitchen sink, and it does none of these.

Helped you (and Valve) to save some bandwidth. But yes. If it requires a Steam account to play, you bought a license allowing you to access a game using Steam, and not an actual game you own.

Which is why you don't have physical copies of those games - you bought a steam key, exactly like you could have done digitally from humblebundle of greenmangaming or myriad of other stores, this one just had it printed on a piece of paper instead of sending you an email.

A Steam key Valve didn't get a cut from, btw.

Sheesh, you know your society has some rather deeply rooted issues when knowing someone's name is enough to cause major problems like this. Not saying name discrimination is a rare thing, here in Finland it's common knowledge having a Romani/Gypsy name makes finding a job a lot harder, but enough to cause major issues to the restaurant simply if your customers know the names of the employees?

Replaced by US manufacturers, using US workforce, paying them, in the US.

Why would how much money Mauritius might or might not make be any relevance to ICANN, a US non-profit?

The only Tomb Raider I had as a kid. Took me a like decade to finally figure out why anyone would like Tomb Raider.

Of course, they will all be made of perfectly smooth glass because they will be Solar FREAKING roadways! Everyone knows this, duhh.

I think you don't know what that word means.

Heck, even if you want to blatantly ignore every other platform and site you can buy games from, which there are plenty, Valve gives devs a supply of Steam keys they can sell anywhere they want, they don't even get a cut from those despite providing the bandwidth to distribute the files.

Long way, but it's not an impossible task, as at the core the eye is nothing but a bunch of light sensors that spit out a result, we just need to figure out how to calculate that result ourselves. Motion amplification could be one solution given enough computing power to do it in real time, for example.

But we agree, safe and accurate camera based self driving isn't going to happen in a long, long time.

There are sure, but none are two letters because those are restricted to country codes. Specifically the ISO 3166-1 alpha 2

Maybe. But it's up to ICANN and their rules, money might not be relevant to them, and with .io, there literally isn't a single person or company that uses it "correctly" as country TLDs are primarily intended to be used by entities connected to that country, and the territory has no permanent residents, unlike with .su.
On the flip side, that might work for the case too as well - maybe ICANN decides to make it a generic TLD, like .com or .org instead as it's not really directly connected to a country?
We shall see.

Because .io is the top level country code domain for the British Indian Ocean Territory, and once a country ceases to exist, the top level domain is supposed to be phased out according to the IANA rules and eventually discontinued by the ICANN.
There are no .yu, .dd, .cs, or .tp domains left. The only exception I know is .su (soviet union).

Because Musk has a weird obsession that everything needs to work with just cameras, and no other sensors can help. While it might work someday in the far future with proper AGI (e.g Delamain from Cyberpunk 2077), until then it's a pretty hopeless endeavour.

couldn’t non-chinese car companies just make better/more affordable EVs?

If we assume they actually were that affordable in reality, then the answer would be yes.
The accusation is that the Chinese government is financing and supporting their domestic EV manufacturers in an effort to artificially lower their prices to levels no other manufacturer could ever match in an effort to dominate the market and remove all competition - at which point they could increase their prices drastically and recover the "investment" as there would be no-one else left to compete.

If it's true or not, I can't say, I haven't researched the subject enough. Those votes at least showcase that there is no clear consensus about it.

Bambu Lab was founded in 2020. Prusa, Creality and a whole bunch of other companies have been "violating" these patents long before Bambu even existed. Either this gets thrown out of court, or Stratasys will be able to sue quite literally every 3D printer manufacturer that exists for compensation.

You can disable the AI stuff and other nonsense if you do a "web" search, it's in the list with images, videos etc. Theres also a thing you can add to a search url to do it - &udm=14.

It is, machine learning, neural networks and all the other parts in LLMs and generative algorithms like midjourney etc are all fields of artificial intelligence. The AI Effect just means the goalposts for what people think of as "proper" AI are constantly moving.
