Congratulations!

For those who didn't notice that OP posted 2 links:
(They look like a single link because there's nothing separating them.)

Its an actual term

It's a phrase coined very recently based on a misconception, and happened to be picked up by some online publishers. That's all.

Saying "its an actual term" [sic] just attempts to give it an air of legitimacy, without actually meaning anything.

The phrase itself is not only ignorant, but also insulting. The gamers it refers to are not Baby Boomers, but Generation X, which had nothing to do with the damage to society that Boomers are famous for and most of us in younger generations are suffering from now. (Housing crisis and out-of-touch legislators, for example.)

A game category made up by people who think "boomer" means "anyone more than a few years older than me".

It was a few years ago when I read Signal's statement about this, so I'm afraid I don't have a link for you.

I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it's important to note that without Signal's blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It's not the same as official interoperability.

I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.

Unless Signal's policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.

If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.

These wolves were modified based on dna from dire wolves, and presumably made to be as close to the scientist’s understanding of dire wolves as possible.

I guess you missed this part:

And Colossal claims it has turned grey wolves into dire wolves by making just 20 gene edits?

That is the claim. In fact, five of those 20 changes are based on mutations known to produce light coats in grey wolves, Shapiro told New Scientist. Only 15 are based on the dire wolf genome directly and are intended to alter the animals’ size, musculature and ear shape.

Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn't end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.

Okay so did they go viral or are they just popular in this one small town? Word mean things

Pedantic is a word.

Also, your criticism of the author's words would have carried more weight if you had pluralized correctly.

People should not be treated badly in general, but not "called out"?

I run into video-link-only posts in text forums on Lemmy every so often, and IMHO, they contribute little more than noise. There's nothing wrong with encouraging their authors to at least add a summary or start a conversation about the subject matter. Without that, video links that aren't of obvious widespread interest usually feel like they're treating the rest of us as a click farm, whether we're vision-impaired or not.

Not much of a trailer, but I think it qualifies as a teaser.
