AccountMaker , to books in what book or books have you read that were so good that you didn’t want to put it down?

A Short History of Chinese Philosophy by Fung Yu-Lan. I spent pretty much all of my time off work reading it. I found it insanely interesting since I knew almost nothing about Chinese philosophy, and the book is written specifically for people like that. The way their schools of thought developed through the ages and were influenced by each other constantly as one became dominant was very fascinating.

TXinTXe , to gaming in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread
@TXinTXe@lemmy.ml avatar

Ok, not so much as hidden, but also not super known:
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. A tactical stealth game (think commandos saga back in the day) is 90%
Technobabylon. A pixelated point & click adventure with some cyberpunk themes at 70%
Return of the Obra Dinn. Probably the best detective/deduction game that I’ve played, at 40%
Prey. One of the best immersive sims, at 75%
The Case of the Golden Idol. Is not as good as Obra Dinn in my opinion, but it’s super good none the less, at 30%
Antichamber. Super good puzzle game, at 75%
The Age of Decadence. Ultra hardcore RPG set in ancient Rome, 60%
Tametsi. Is like minesweeper but good, 67% (and only 0.77€)

It’s wild how many people seem to have slept on Prey. It’s an amazing game.

Also +1 on Antichamber. Portal-like but with some very unusual and fun mechanics.

liminis ,

Absolute gem of a game, shame Bethesda forced them to use the Prey branding; a lot of fans of the original wrote it off because it has nothing to do with the original. One can't help but wonder if we would've had such a disaster as Redfall if Colantonio hadn't left as a result of all that.

Underrated even among Prey fans is Mooncrash, easily the best roguelite experience from a AAA studio, and just a great experience all around for anyone who wants 'more Prey'.

@Usually_Lurker@lemmy.world avatar

I think just clearly stating that this article or creation was derived from AI would be a good start. . It would allow the user/reader to make a better decision on the value of the information being presented.

JayEchoRay OP ,
@JayEchoRay@lemmy.world avatar

I think that would be a good step to provide a good middle ground yes. Allow it to exist and develop its own identity instead of it being meld together and replacing things outright.

So there can be an A.I. genre and provide transparency to help keep it from going too far

gnumdk , to linux in Is Systemd that bad afterall?
@gnumdk@lemmy.ml avatar

Just try to implement user session management on a non systemd distro…

Systemd is way better than others init system. I’m using Alpine Linux on my phone and I really wait for a Fedora/Arch like PMOS project (it’s on the way)

jarfil ,

[pi@raspberry]# sudo su

Just saying, not everyone needs session management…

sudo su

Why spawn additional process when you can get into shell directly with sudo -s?

nyan ,

Well, sudo itself is a purely optional component—you can run a system quite happily with just su .

Docker Compose as is.

I used Portainer for like 2 years when I first learned Docker (I only used to deploy compose file and motoring the container), but it’s really shit when you know how it works.

nightscout , to fediverse in PSA: Mastodon is NOT Twitter and does not aim to be.
@nightscout@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of this has more to do with the mindset people approached Twitter with than the service itself. Honestly, I always approached Twitter the way you describe Mastodon here. I just wanted to find people who had interests similar to mine and connect with them, as well as find interesting news. Maybe that’s why moving from Twitter to Mastodon has been to seamless. Just a lot less anger and hate on Mastodon from what I’ve experienced. A much nicer atmosphere.

inverimus ,

It's how Twitter started. You followed people because they were your friends or had similar interests. It being a platform mainly for celebrities and influencers came later.

nightscout ,
@nightscout@lemmy.world avatar

Yes people forget that. They also forget how people said Twitter was too difficult or “techie” for the average user.

CaptainProton , to startrek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

I really like Paul Wesley’s portrayal and the way Kirk is written. Honestly I can imagine this as a TOS episode with Shatner and co. Some more thoughts:

While I was not sure about the chemistry between the two main characters, I bought into their romance and I especially liked the final scene with La’an: it was an earned moment and the actress was very effective in her delivery. I wish the two had spent some more time talking about what reality they should preserve but I guess saving your brother’s life is a good enough reason to risk everything. I would’ve done the same, tbh. Time shenanigans needn’t be explained, honestly I can believe that the Augment Wars were so destructive that we don’t know many things about the period; could’ve been in the 90s, could’ve been in the 21st century, there are real life examples of such gaps in the historical record, after all (and don’t tell me Sarah Silverman was around for the rise of Khan). Still, a welcome reference.

I love Pelia, the accent, the delivery, the character backstory, it’s all really good and she is a very nice addition to the cast. I laughed when she didn’t know anything about engineering but it makes perfect sense. Imagine going back in time and asking a 10 year old Einstein to explain relativity to you!

With the positive out of the way, I have to say that I liked the first half of the episode more than the second for the following reasons:

I think they broke into that facility pretty easily. Why did the door open in response to La’an’s DNA? Isn’t Khan just a little kid? Can he enter and leave as he pleases? I thought he was like an experiment they are trying to keep under wraps.

I did not like the antagonist lady and I especially don’t like the suggestion that Romulans have been secretly trying to keep humanity from reaching greatness. I always thought that one of the most important messages in the franchise was that humans were able to rise above their flaws and create a utopia but now it’s the Romulans who were keeping us down and we managed to reach the stars even against these odds. How inherently great humanity is… Not a good message, imo, but perhaps the antagonist lady was simply exaggerating.

Overall a good episode. Kinda lost me in the second half but the final scene was a strong conclusion. Honestly, I can see myself re-watching this in the future.

Seems Khan and all the other kids are probably derived from older Noonien-Singh DNA, considering the name of the facility.

@Manabi@startrek.website avatar

I think it was less humanity's greatness that allowed them to reach the stars in the alternate timeline and more of having no choice but to do so. Earth was a wasteland and they needed more resources beyond what was available in the rest of our solar system. La'an told Kirk at one point that he could be an explorer in her timeline, heavily implying humanity doesn't do that in his.

I'm not autistic, but I have autistic relatives and I'm happy to see how welcoming the Fediverse has been to people on the spectrum. It made me sick every time I saw "autistic" used as an insult on Reddit or Twitter.

amzd , to nostupidquestions in Are there any Imagus sieves for the various Lemmy instances?

First comment. I have written this quick regex that seems to work on thumbnails on kbin.social:

img: ^kbin.social/media/cache/resolve/entry_thumb/(.+)$
to: media.kbin.social/$1

for import:

{"kbin.social":{"img":"^kbin\.social/media/cache/resolve/entry_thumb/(.+)$","to":"media.kbin.social/$1"}}

amzd ,

Ok an update already broke it; kbin added /media path to the media subdomain for some reason so update the to field with:

media.kbin.social/media/$1

@dan1101@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn't have to be profitable. Especially for people that already have computers running 24/7 and good Internet, a Lenny server is just another process they run on their machine. Admin/mod duties would probably be the hardest part.

ChatGPT4 Summary

Question

Explain IPFS as if I was five

Response

Sure! You know when you want to show your friend a specific toy in your toy box, you point it out directly? That's kind of how the Internet usually works too - it looks for the specific place (like a website's server) where information is kept.

But, imagine if you could find that same toy even if it was in a different box or at a friend's house, as long as you knew what it looked like. IPFS, which stands for InterPlanetary File System, does something similar for the Internet. It doesn't just look for where information is stored, but what the information is. This way, even if the information gets moved, it can still be found because IPFS knows what it's looking like, not just where it used to be!

tldr sort of like P2P content sharing. Wiki content is just files at the end of the day.

crashex OP ,

Sounds cool. Does that mean we need heavy disks full of data everywhere or is there a magicky way around it?

breadsmasher ,
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

iirc You “pin” content to access, which means you’re also then hosting it. You wouldn’t need to necessarily store the entirety of wiki for example unless its held in like, data files rather than page per content.

Im not fully up to scratch of the intricacies on IPFS, just thought it sounded like a possible solution to your use-case
