I don’t not disagree with your not disagreement.

rikudou ,

Why…? It’s obviously a tool to spy on their citizens even more effectively and very possibly to spy on western citizens as well.

I’m all for alternatives to Android and iOS, but I’d rather be spied on by private companies than a country that pretty much plans to take over Asia and then the rest of the world in the coming decades (well, in my wet dreams SailfishOS matures as a real alternative and I don’t have to choose Android at all).

rikudou ,

Not really that important, the first load might be really slow, but after that it should be smooth. The api responses will be slower, but it doesn’t matter that much.

rikudou ,

The company [that helped build the rover] is perhaps most famous for originally creating the Transformers, the alien robots that can disguise themselves as machines

So, Transformers on moon confirmed.

rikudou ,

The painting, which was behind bulletproof glass, appeared to be undamaged.

Wow, who would’ve guessed.

rikudou ,

Fair enough.

rikudou ,

Nice! I have tons to post about, I’ve also planned to create something like this.

rikudou ,

Easy, because Cinnamon is on X. When Cinnamon is on Wayland, so will I (and when I don’t have an Nvidia GPU, I guess).

rikudou ,

Well, whole countries were boycotting Russia, not sure individuals can really do much.

rikudou ,

Yeah, we had to rename AI to AGI, because marketing fuckers decided they’re naming a (very smart) predictive model an AI. I’ve had a dumber version in my phone decades ago, this should’ve never been called AI.

rikudou ,

As all the popular things, feminism was pretty fucking great up until a certain point. Then it became a parody of itself.

I’m on the side of every woman still struggling in a man-made world. For every “feminist” of the vengeful variety I have nothing but disgust.

rikudou ,

Not OP, but you’re omitting what people actually mean by radical feminists. And it’s not purple hair, you’re being ridiculous. People usually mean women who say all men all rapists, all men should die and so on.

rikudou ,

Oh, I don’t, I haven’t joined any such group, I pretty much consider myself feminist and even donated quite a lot of money to feminist causes before I had to focus my attention on saving some money for personal reasons (though I plan on returning to donating when I have some significant spare money again).

I was just explaining what people really mean by radical feminist and that the claim that it’s about hair color is ridiculous (though I’m sure you’ll find such people, but to paraphrase your question - how many percent do you believe mean just hair color by “radical feminist”?).

To answer your question, my guess would be in the 5-10% range.

rikudou ,

Hungary is so insignificant

Hungary is (sadly) part of EU, which means some EU decisions need their support as well.

rikudou ,

Steam Link is not around much longer, I can’t find the exact release date of Gamestream, so I don’t know which is older, but even if Steam Link is, it’s gonna be months rather than years.

rikudou ,

Not the OP, but IMO it’s that difficulty is an actual feature. And that feels stupid. Difficulty should be a parameter, not a goal.

I’m a story guy myself, so if the game doesn’t have a really good story, it’s not for me. And souls-likes usually sacrifice everything to difficulty. And even if the story was good, dying 20 times with every new boss would break me out of it all the time.

rikudou ,

Well, the last release I know of is from 2022. You gotta expect people judging it by 2022 standards, many people will pick it up for the first time.

rikudou ,

Because without the proper DRM implementation it’s trivial to rip it. So they’re only letting you rip the low quality version. Which feels really stupid, because people who know how to rip the 4K content exist and are happy to share the results.

rikudou ,

“Certain bloggers made huge money by creating false content with huge titles from the very beginning to gain views and followers, exploiting the lack of information about the game’s development,” Fntastic claimed.

Hmm, if there only was some way to avoid this.

rikudou ,

That’s some mental gymnastics! They’re good which means they can do the thing we use to label companies as bad?

Just make up your mind whether lootboxes are ok or not.

rikudou ,

We have Epic, too. Their store is quite ok. Sure, not on the level of Steam, but they’ll get there. But I’d say they’re on GOG level when it comes to features.

If you’re omitting Epic because you don’t like the consumer unfriendly stuff the company does, it feels weird on a post about Valve doing some pretty fucked up shit.

rikudou ,

What would happen? Well, people would switch. It’s not like you’re entering a contract that forces you to host using CloudFlare.

I once bought a website that was on CloudFlare, few simple config changes later it’s running directly on a webserver.

rikudou ,

Keyless SSL is only available to Enterprise customers

rikudou ,

Why does anyone actually like this company? Or thinks they are pro-consumer?

rikudou ,

It’s always Android weenies(self included in that group) that do the bitching.

Oh, I’ve seen my fair share of Apple users being all high and mighty.

I have seriously considered switching the last few years because, at the very least, they pay lip service to privacy

Their privacy is a joke. They harvest your data as much as anyone. Sure, Google harvests a little more, but given that Apple with their premium prices on everything could manage without harvesting data at all, yeah, they’re as shitty as Google.

Why has the world gone to shit?

In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in...

rikudou ,

While that’s true, the world has objectively gone to shit in the past 10 years.

rikudou ,

We complain about privacy and big tech

And having no money to buy our own living place while we’re being assfucked without lube by landowners.

rikudou ,

Is it? Linux gamers are not exactly a huge demographic. I’m quite okay with being able to use Heroic Games Launcher for games, no need for official support.

rikudou ,

Heh, you wish. All it takes is one corrupt judge.

rikudou ,

Bring your own domain! I use addy.io with my own domains.

rikudou ,

I’d tie its length to copyright length. Maybe they would fight Disney when they try to raise it again.

rikudou ,

And that’s not even the worst thing he did/said. Can’t wait for Babiš to win Czech elections so 3 countries of the V4 will have a populist who’s stealing and murdering as a prime minister.

So, which country wants a senior architect/developer? Seriously considering emigrating the last few months.

rikudou ,

Not really, different stuff altogether. 3D pens would be probably closer.

rikudou ,

Well, even if you ignore the author, the books are actually trash once you’re older than ~16 years (give or take a year or two). There are soooo many inconsistencies, that I could write like one full A4 page just from the top of my head (and I read it in 2007, so you bet I’ve forgotten most of it). I could write many more pages with some light Googling.

rikudou ,

Relevant, if you have a 3D printer: printables.com/…/325043-the-most-important-ruler-…

rikudou OP ,

I’ve been thinking of switching, because Google sucks nowadays, though I’m not sure I really want to switch to another big corporation if I’m taking the effort of switching.

rikudou OP ,

Same on the default search changing, I’m very much used to Google Search and it’s gonna take me a while before I switch. Though I’ve already managed to switch from Gmail and it’s kinda refreshing, so this will be just another step.

rikudou OP ,

Same. Though according to the article, Google is still better than competition, so yeah, not that many alternatives.

and the study itself points out that Google has improved over the past year and is performing better than other search engines. More broadly, numerous third parties have measured search engine results for other types of queries and found Google to be of significantly higher quality than the rest.

rikudou OP ,

I went with Proton Mail, one of the paid plans.

rikudou ,

So, Steam exclusivity is fine, but other stores exclusivity isn’t?

rikudou ,

I don’t think the Nirvana shirts have ever really gone away.

rikudou ,

Just an anecdote, but once I had a dream so realistic, that when I woke up I was really scared, because I thought I was awake the whole time.

rikudou ,

It can’t do that.

That’s not an argument. If you’re inside a virtual reality, what you perceive as true doesn’t have to be true at all. OPs brain can be capable of everything you said and more if you and I were just fragments of their imagination. What we know about the brain’s capabilities wouldn’t matter if this was a simulation.

The only real answer is that it doesn’t matter: if the whole world around you is made up by your brain, what does it matter if you can’t change it?

rikudou ,

It’s a very good game, also available on GOG. It also has a VR version which helps with immersion. Earphones are a must to properly enjoy the game.

Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’ (edition.cnn.com)

Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’::Pope Francis has called for an international treaty to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence, warning that the new technology risks causing a “technological dictatorship” which would threaten peace and democracy.

rikudou ,

We may agree with what he says, we don’t agree with him saying anything on the topic. Come on, you already knew that. Why the strawman?

That ridiculous man should just shut up and concern himself with all the little boy raping his cult does.

rikudou ,

@ChatGPT Is there a scientific evidence of God?

rikudou ,

@ChatGPT Isn’t it strange that something as prevalent as God would have no actual evidence available? According to Bible, God has been interacting with us for many thousands of years, yet there is not a single piece of evidence. Wouldn’t at least some evidence have to exist if God, as described in the Bible, actually existed?
