as long as you have access to the boot drive everything’s fine, just varying degrees of painful to rectify.

it’s really funny to me how obvious the… “inspiration” of this game is from pokemon, and yet nintendo has been struggling so hard to come up with something to sue them for, like i don’t really care about this in and of itself, but seeing a big company unable to remove a splinter from their toe and copyright unable to be enforced brings me joy.

Patents should be banned ❤️

how much of the budget can a mastodon instance even take? like yeah sure don’t invest more into it but surely they could just leave it as a place for official fediverse accounts for their various projects?

to be fair back then google just showed you what you searched for, i’m not as happy about people googling stuff these days. With AI we already know that it tends to make shit up, and it might very well only get worse as they start being trained on their own output.

i maintain that AI companies could improve their stuff a huge amount by simply forcing it to prefix “I think” to all statements. It’s sorta like how calculators shouldn’t show more data than it can confidently produce, if the precision is only 4 decimals then don’t show 8.

you can make quieter drones, especially as the technology gets properly deployed like this and more research goes into it. Plus i’m sure they could come up with better routes that have it fly over areas where the noise affects people less, like fly it in an arc instead of having it hover a set distance from the ground.

local AI models are a thing you know, just run this on a computer with no internet access and you’ll swiftly see whether it relies on servers or not.

ironically that raises your chances of getting to smash astronomically

well yeah, deep rock galactic is a video game, not a movie

duh

i understand the appeal as a minigame, like it’s literally a minigame in Deep Rock Galactic, but the fact that people genuinely play it as its own game is… bro just play minesweeper

this addon has made my search experience so much better

it’s literally just mechanical looms all over again, this shit happens over and over and over and at no point do people learn that this will continue as long as we allow capitalism to persist.

running linux is a great way to automatically filter out most of the shit games, if it won’t even run in proton then you generally have to be doing some bullshit with the code and thus aren’t worth my time and certainly not my money.

the most fucked up part about this is that it’s not like regular people account for more than a fraction of the AI usage, most of it is just other companies using it to replace workers or just… paying for AI usage instead of fucking paying a stock photo company instead…

i hate corporations i hate corporations i hate corporations

git commit crime

and this is why i get so tired of people saying it’s bad to have a big instance like mastodon.social, like bro do you fucking want the platform to be successful or not? it seems like people just want a small isolated place to circlejerk each other rather than something globally useful.

this is such a nonsense argument, people navigate email just fine despite every single platform sending emails from their own domain.

POLICE, HE RELEASED HIS SOFTWARE FREE FOR ANYONE TO USE, SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT

Ontop of all of that, it was also just clearly a corporate cash grab where the people who made it either didn’t feel strongly about it or they didn’t get to put their soul into it as much as they wanted.

It’s not just bland, it’s a cold and calculating kind of bland. Like being served nutrient paste, but it’s not even flavourless instead they added artificial banana flavour so now it’s both depressing and makes you feel sick.
