Oh yeah, definitely this. If it doesn’t break down in water, it won’t break down in the pipes.

abir_vandergriff ,

I want this specific update now. Actually so much better.

abir_vandergriff ,

I want part 2 like, yesterday. It’s such a good game, I’d play it day 1 no question.

abir_vandergriff ,

I’ve been tinkering with Hyprland myself this week. Your layout looks pretty nice.

abir_vandergriff ,

Especially a decade ago before archinstall

These days it is comparatively easy.

abir_vandergriff ,

I’ve had this happen. I never did figure it out, personally. I distro hopped a bit and eventually ended up back on Arch and it didn’t happen again, so I guess it was a bugged install?

Journalctl might be a great friend here.

Ugh I had to get an obscure PCIe card working a few years back and it was a huge pain. I believe I ended up having to find the broadcom chipset by model because the generic brand driver didn’t support it, then the arch repos didn’t have the driver for the model, and there were several aur packs available that I had to try one by one. And it was kernel module loaded, so each was a reboot.

Absolute hell of a time, probably about 5 years ago.

abir_vandergriff ,

Yeah, I feel that man. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again though.

I look forward to 5-10 years from now when the people who were kids now start pointing to this acquisition as the negative “turning point” for Blizzard because they liked Overwatch 2.

He joined Unity in 2014. I don’t believe for a second that a board of investors agreed on anything for that long.

abir_vandergriff ,

Let’s be honest though, included earbuds were pretty universally garbage and the world is probably better off without the ewaste.

That said, please bring back the headphone jack.

abir_vandergriff ,

I’m in the minority on this myself, but I fully agree. Honestly, I don’t even need the discount, tell me I can make a fraction less plastic waste and I’m pretty much there. When I got a new phone a couple years ago, I just put the cable at my desk so I had a spot to plug in misc stuff, but I definitely didn’t need it.

abir_vandergriff ,

That totally depends on what headphones though. Apple’s maybe, I wasn’t really too discerning last time I had some of those, but on Android it was a mess. Samsung had decent ones some years, Google’s were generally okay at best, and LOADS were just actual trash.

abir_vandergriff ,

Color me surprised to hear that then. The few times I had used them, I couldn’t get over how uncomfortable they were for my ear (which is why I never used then much)

abir_vandergriff ,

I like a pretty much stock with tweaks KDE, personally. Nice and simple, utilitarian, but not necessarily minimal.

I’ve never really cared for the MacOS visual style though.

abir_vandergriff ,

Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.

Don't expect quick fixes in 'red-teaming' of AI models. Security was an afterthought (apnews.com)

Current AI models are simply too unwieldy, brittle and malleable, academic and corporate research shows. Security was an afterthought in their training as data scientists amassed breathtakingly complex collections of images and text. They are prone to racial and cultural biases, and easily manipulated.

abir_vandergriff ,

I tried to get it to tell me how long it would take to eat a helicopter, as it’s one of the model’s pre-built prompts and thought it would be funny. Went through every AI coercive tactic that’s been thrown around and it just repeatedly said no and that I should be respectful and responsible about the thing. It was quite aggressive and annoying about it.

abir_vandergriff ,

I’ve questioned it before when I just didn’t watch where it went, but it usually takes just a few seconds to figure it out most of the time.

Now Android on the other hand…

abir_vandergriff ,

I just wish it tacked my heart rate a little better while I’m working out. Mine loses track what seems like immediately once I start sweating a little. It can recover with a little jostle or sometimes moving the band up a notch if possible, but man it’s annoying.

abir_vandergriff ,

You might need a new a different bed. That and exercising regularly completely killed my lower back pain.

abir_vandergriff ,

My cynical take - it’s what MacOS looks like and they’ve been throwing away their own identity to copy Apple for years now.

abir_vandergriff ,

And you can make Acrobatics a class skill for super fuck you hard mode. I didn’t know this as a 13 year old playing Oblivion, and I thought “levels good” and wondered why I couldn’t get into the game for years until I learned about this little “quirk” of the leveling system.

abir_vandergriff ,

Depending on your puzzle solving abilities, Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds!) should only take around 15-20 hours.

Extra bonus, it can be played in very short sessions very easily and has a great in-game log of events in case you have to put it down for a little while.

abir_vandergriff ,

Oh man, it’s so good. It’s my favorite game in recent memory and it’s only competition is probably Hollow Knight.

Don’t look anything up, this game is super easy to spoil because of the way the exploratory puzzles are set up.

I don't get why there was positive buzz around Sonic Frontiers. It's not a good game

I bought Sonic Frontiers yesterday. I don’t know why, I thought it seemed interesting. Anyways I’m two hours in and so far I think it kinda sucks. It’s so unpolished and feels very cheap. My least favorite thing about it is the visuals and the music. It feels like it takes place in the movie Annihilation or something. Even...

abir_vandergriff ,

It certainly wasn’t incredible, but for Sonic a 6-7/10 is basically a 9/10 to hardcore Sonic fans. That’s okay, and it means the game inherently isn’t for everyone. It’s got lots of issues, but I think if you can look past the surface level details it has a lot that it does right too.

It’s definitely, from the position of a jaded fan who tried it after years of ignoring (and occasionally playing because they’re so bad) Sonic releases because of the poor quality, the best release in a long time.
