I’m also curious to see the original image

drislands ,

That sounds like nonsense. I’ll have to look it up!

drislands ,

And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

drislands ,

The girl in the passenger seat clearly has a look of “we knew this was going to happen”, too.

drislands ,

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

drislands ,

I wouldn’t say “any” major games. Helldivers 2 is a notable exception.

drislands ,

That’s what I’m saying. It has anticheat, and it runs on Linux without issue.

drislands ,

No worries, I may have just been unclear considering multiple people appear to have downvoted my comment.

drislands ,

Most users of Windows aren’t editing the registry, no matter what problems they encounter.

For power users that do use regedit, I’d argue there’s still a gap between that and using a shell. The registry can be edited entirely with the Windows graphical utility, after all.

New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters (kotaku.com)

Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....

drislands ,

Irrelevant. This game is purportedly built using the original doom engine, while almost all other FPS games since Doom are designed with similar mechanics.

drislands ,

Great point. I saw an interesting video recently that touched on this exact issue:

youtu.be/x4_8rIUh7E8?si=-E1VWA8bZ-eVibkL

As graphics increase in quality, the desire for developers to fill spaces with clutter grows – which makes it harder to make meaningful levels with thoughtful design.

drislands ,

Looks like I’m in the minority, but I subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online. My wife and I enjoy the extra Mario kart courses and I personally enjoy the N64 virtual console.

drislands ,

Capitalist utopia? Isn’t the whole point that it’s a Libertarian utopia?

drislands ,

Don’t get me wrong, the only Libertarianism I’ve ever known is intertwined with Capitalism. But they aren’t the same thing, and I always read BioShock as being a take on Libertarianism specifically.

drislands OP ,

Thanks for your input. I received the message that my comment was removed from “[email protected]”, so that combined with the fact the community’s rule 2 was “no tiktok posts” led me to believe it was a .world action. Your take makes more sense.

drislands OP ,

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

drislands ,

To be fair, my understanding is the “10 is the last version” idea came from a developer speaking in an unofficial capacity and the media ran with it. It may have never been true.

drislands ,

That would require that it be a social media platform, as supposed to a money laundering front.

drislands ,

Ugh the ones with the “anti-AI” “licensing”? I honestly don’t know how they expect that to accomplish anything, other than look like a pretentious idiot.

drislands ,

drislands ,

Honest question. Why do you think aggression isn’t a trait that can be selectively bred for or against? Surely you agree other traits can be bred – herding and pointing, to use some common examples.

Arizona man gets life in prison in murder of wife who "vigorously struggled" after being buried alive, prosecutors say (www.cbsnews.com)

An Arizona man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2017 death of his wife, who was buried alive in a hand-dug grave near their home while their children slept, authorities said....

drislands ,

Yeah. I think you can sum it up as “some crimes absolutely deserve death. No government can be trusted to dole it out”.

drislands ,

I’ll explain for you, because there’s a lot of misinformation around.

What is being called AI these days is various companies’ version of what’s called an LLM – Large Language Model. Put simply, an LLM is a very sophisticated piece of software that takes what is asked of it to determine what is statistically the most likely sequence of words to follow as an answer.

This means you can ask a question the way you’d ask a human, and the way it answers will closely mirror how a person would answer (as opposed to stuff like Google Assistant or Siri, where you need to ask a question a specific way to get a decent answer).

Note, however, that at no point did I say that an LLM is accurate. This is the fatal issue that is never included by proponents of this kind of AI. They don’t have any mechanism to retrieve information, or verify the truthfulness of the answers given. You wind up seeing a lot of answers from this kind of AI that is either partially or completely wrong.

My favorite example is the result you get when googling “african countries that start with the letter K”. Someone posted the answer they got from an LLM to a forum online, which said that there is no country, and that became the top google result…despite the fact that Kenya obviously exists and starts with the letter K.

Essentially, LLMs are really fascinating in how well they approximate human speech – but they have absolutely no intelligence behind them. Proponents of this tech as AI either ignore this, or outright lie about it. As a result, a lot of companies have started using this tech to replace their support teams and/or the search functionality of their websites. I’m sure you can imagine the negative effects this has caused.

drislands ,

Oh whoops! 😬 I hope you get the answer you needed!

drislands ,

Jesus. What a shit heel, trying to enlist people during graduation. The fucking audacity.

drislands ,

Rocko?!

drislands ,

I am curious – why does the article including the names and photos of his accusers make this more credible to you?

drislands ,

That “rare use” you describe is something I associate with Tumblr mostly.

drislands ,

I wonder if he means that in the sense of “putting you in jail is only going to empower your frankly rabid base of supporters. I need to avoid even the slightest hint of a mistrial so we can put you in prison for good.”

drislands ,

FYI l: That’s the CEO of Arrowhead, who made the game.

drislands ,

“this would work if you did something completely different” lmao

drislands ,

Curses, you’ve got a point…!!

drislands ,

Probably, to be honest. Though of course that doesn’t speak to the quality of its content.

drislands ,

What a weird thing.

So someone made up a rumor that this Sophia person was dating Jenner. Sophia publicly and transphobically denied this. Sophia is a known member of a transphobic group associated with the Republican party.

Who the fuck started this weird ass rumor? Why are we talking about this? How is this news at all?

drislands ,

Totally fair. For what it’s worth, my comment wasn’t directed at your post – the title is totally oniony and perfect for this community.

My bafflement was more directed at the article itself.

drislands ,

Thanks for sharing the source! I had a feeling it was The Reductress, I love their stuff.

drislands ,

I love Linux as much as the next guy, but installing a new OS is not easier than downloading a single program and clicking check boxes. No need to be hyperbolic, Windows is bad enough as it is.

drislands ,

Well, that’s fair. I thought you meant easier to install Linux over an existing Windows 11 install.

drislands ,

What’s the bottom left one?

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

drislands ,

He’s my go-to for tech reviews. He’ll happily gush about what he likes, but he isn’t shy about what isn’t good.

drislands ,

A variety of small but useful features. Typing indicator, reactions, read receipts, and larger media limits. I’m sure there’s more, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

drislands ,

Okay.

drislands ,

Unimpeachable logic!

drislands ,

Imagine if they didn’t blame an entire people for the actions of their corrupt leaders.

drislands ,

Honest question: how many email-havers do you think know what GPG is?

drislands ,

…what? How is that related at all?

drislands ,

I mean realistically, the people who enjoyed it back in the day have outgrown it. So “new” content like this skibidi business, which is the same kind of humor as they used to enjoy 10+ years ago, is deeply unappealing.
