because the alternatives are unconscionable. Consumerist capitalist mono-culture is going to eat its own tail and kill everyone in the process.

I do think theory is a very good way to recruit people. When the facts are presented fairly, rational people will not choose capitalism.

I mean, good creators don’t? There are still AA and indie devs pouring their heart into stories they want to tell?

This article is basically just bemoaning that AAA develops for the lowest common denominator, which I can understand as a gripe, but it’s a very old gripe. If you start really digging into AAA, you’ll get other similar ones like “Why are these gameplay loops made for people who don’t like gameplay” or “How come perfectly serviceable story focused games get mandatory crafting systems added onto them.” When you’re trying to make something to broadly appeal to as many people as possible, you stop making art, so I don’t know why people keep expecting AAA to produce artistic experiences.

can we get much higher?

The second my body wakes up, I am in pain and want to throw up. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to stretch, adjust to the pain, and power through the nausea.

I started out using an old Nvidia Geforce 1060 TI and an i5 whose model number now escapes me. My experience was terrible, on Mint, Ubuntu, and Bazzite. Most games didn’t work, and researching the error messages I found in my logs just directed me to Nvidia forum posts from 6 months to a year ago where a user described my exact issue and received no response.

Then, I purchased a new pre-fab computer with an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D processor and a Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU. I still had a handful of issues on Ubuntu, so I switched to Bazzite and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. I can run the vast majority of games through Steam, and use Bottles for anything else.

The lesson I learned was fuck Nvidia. Team Red 4 lyfe.

spoken like somebody who doesn’t know a thing about security.

Windows 10 is going to be compromised the second it goes end-of-life. There are cybercriminals who’ve been sitting on exploits, potentially for the entire Windows 10 lifecycle, but at the very least for the past year or two. The second Microsoft will no longer commit to patching those, they’ll pounce.

Connecting any operating system to the internet after it goes EoL is just asking for trouble.

Honestly, it’s kinda incredible they held out as long as they did. Sports gambling is quickly becoming the only reason mainstream sports are still broadcasting, and it took over the rest of esports ages ago.

Why do people always go for Reddit as this comparison? It’s not even the most popular social media. Is it because the question “How can we make Lemmy as popular as Facebook” makes it clear why that isn’t something the users would want?

Yup, absolutely. I use Bottles to manage mine, and run it with ProtonGE. You can also use Lutris, but I recommend not using their auto-installer and setting it up yourself. The auto-installer is an old, broken community one.

Yeah, that mostly just proves that humans are idiots, something we’ve known for awhile.

current AI is absolutely not better than sci-fi AI, not by a long shot.

I do think LLMs are interesting and have neat potential for highly specific applications, though I also have many ethical concerns regarding the data it is being trained on. AI is a corporate buzzword designed to attract investment, and nothing more.

That’s debatable

it really, actually isn’t.

I haven’t seen either of these takes, and I’m on this platform like 4-6 hours a day at least. I think you have to look at the instances you’re on and the content you’re consuming. I know my instance, blahaj, doesn’t federate with some of the more insane instances, and I’ve personally blocked some of the few problematic ones left like .world.

Kinda wild how frequently it’s the same religion being used as a cudgel in SEA, SA, and Africa.

I’ve got some bad news for you about the rich and powerful around the world.

Not at all.

The idea of “ignorance is bliss” is kinda like relying on herd immunity. You have to hope that everyone else creates a society that is good and just. Otherwise, material conditions will constantly worsen, you’ll just be left unequipped with the tools to know why.

Such an existence sounds maddening to me, and considering how often ignorant people are turning to hate in the face of drastically declining material conditions, I feel confident thinking that it is maddening for them as well. If you at least know why everything is turning to shit, you can try to stop it.

It’s basically only proprietary garbage tho.

Okay but seriously, why are there old trenches on Tau? I can buy that the Orokin, constant assholes that they were, came to Tau along the solar rails to kill the Sentients they created and claim their new solar system. That contradicts a lot of the old lore, but makes some logical sense. They presumably have the Tenno at this point though, and they have the Infestation; why would their tactics involve trench warfare? They could virus bomb a site from orbit and then send Tenno in to annihilate anything that still moved. Trench warfare isn’t really efficient, there’s a reason we don’t really see it anymore, and the Orokin have tech far, far beyond what we have today.

Also if this update doesn’t let us finally see The Sounding of the Naga Drums I will be very sad.

The real fun is having to pay extra on an application because you have a pet, then getting to pay an additional pet rent monthly. Also it’s sometimes per pet, literally trying to treat them like bonus tenants.
