Technology@lemmy.zip•Traders Say ‘Insane’ Tech Is Making FX Markets SleepierEnglish
2·2 个月前Market maker is a regulatory designation where a financial institution has to provide liquidity, which sometimes means taking on trades you wouldn’t otherwise. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds, especially in FX markets where profit margins have been nanometer-thin for ages.
The thing about internet is that anybody can do the hosting and they do not have to operate with same ethical standards as we do.
The whole point of using hashes here is to not store images.
Suggestion: in case of breaking API changes maintain old endpoints for a bit? This caught me off guard as a Voyager user this morning because versioning suggests that Piefed is stable (1.x) and that this was a minor release (x.0 -> x.2), yet it broke down completely.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025English
4·4 个月前It was a bit of a letdown.
I read Feddit.nu rules and couldn’t understand a word but we have credible intel that it’s just a cover for developing weapons of mass surströmming.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without noticeEnglish
71·4 个月前Nayara Energy Limited is an entity established in India and operating an important refinery in Vadinar. That refinery is 49% owned by the Russian State oil company Rosneft, and is a major refiner of Russian crude oil. The energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.
Therefore, Nayara Energy is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
Microsoft doing the right thing here. If you don’t want to worry about consequences of sanctions don’t use services from companies subject to jurisdiction of countries that sanction you.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish
31·4 个月前Saudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Here's why that embattled retro gaming YouTuber might not be so innocentEnglish
7·4 个月前No idea but in Europe copyright law doesn’t seem to be enforced as much against little guys but taxman will come for everyone. That YouTuber seems to be a grifter, collecting money for his defense while also making money off a Telegram shop. He knew he could make things up and people (and „journalists”!) would fall for it because Nintendo bad.

123·4 个月前I’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?

151·4 个月前He was selling them outright via Facebook / Telegram. I’ll speculate a little bit - it’s likely it wasn’t taxed which is why he was singled out.
I found capsules to be an absolute pain to load on the account of shaky hands. If you’re using capsules on a stem loaded vaporiser you have to try it with MAD Heaters Reload or one if it’s many recent clones (like 420vape Stash Tube in Europe or Sneaky Pete Travel Storage Debowler in US). This way you can load the stem directly by pushing and twisting into weed stored in one of two containers (middle/bottom). Once you’re done vaping you drop AVB into top container that has a debowler inside. It’s a game changer even if you don’t use it with butane vape.
I keep up to date but avoid images because at this point it’s just outrage porn driven by social media algorithms. I’m increasingly convinced homo sapiens are going to cause another mega extinction event within our lifetime. There’s so much suffering and atrocities all over the world currently that it’s hard not to detach from just one more horrific event because it’s not going to matter in the end.
It’s way too easy to vape lots of weed with TM2. You can pop in as much weed as you want into the stem / WPA adapter like t_bowl (since they’re adjustable) and extract everything in one go. It makes things extremely efficient but if you’re able to vape 0.5g at once it gets a bit too tempting sometimes.

Television@piefed.social•‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ English-Language Adaptation In Works At Netflix From Leila Gerstein & Jerry Bruckheimer TV
4·4 个月前The issue with current autistic leads in series like Good Doctor or Extraordinary Attorney Woo is that they are almost level 3 (aka profound autism) while also being savants which doesn’t really represent much of autistic people (and savants are even less). I don’t want to marginalise those people but they’re quite overrepresented in media about autism while also being less than 10% of all autistic people and that leads to regular people being really confused as to what autism is.
I think this is what’s behind something that’s almost a meme by now among autistic people - when you tell someone you’re autistic without flapping your hands and without difficulty in stringing a coherent sentence you’re going to be replied with „but you don’t look autistic”. This also leads to many people going undiagnosed and without support, sometimes for their entire lives.
























I’m glad money is of no concern for you but one device costs twice as much as the other :)
