I watch subbed because the dub is almost always shit. only problem with that is the subbed voice acting tends to be a lot hornier

you can get cheaper prices elsewhere all the time. look at humble bundle (idk if they’re still around but thats where a lot of my games came from a while back), green man gaming, or any of the console app stores. depending on who has sales when games are cheaper all the time. y’all are falling for propaganda trying to discredit one of the only decent companies left in gaming written by their competitors and their competitors’ friends. try thinking a little before just following the social media hive mind because you’ve spent the last couple decades seeing proof that this is a blatant lie.

I’m not gonna sit here and argue about whether it’s ok to eat meat or not. the point is that supporting cloud-based AI is taking up a ton of resources and isn’t providing much benefit for it compared to local AI. not sure why you took it in that direction in the first place, but using up nearly all of our ability to manufacture computer parts, large areas of land, lots of electricity, and lots of clean water, all for barely any benefit, is much worse in terms of resource usage (again, not going to argue about the morality of meat here) than sustaining cattle.

I mean the meat industry (fucked up as the factory farms are) produces food. that’s very different from the ai industry, which in it’s current state produces nothing of value. I get your point, but comparing where a lot of our food comes from to the ai industry isn’t really a fair comparison.

I guess they found a use case. I kinda use Gemini as one sometimes for pulling stuff from a picture of a PowerPoint and putting it in my schedule or for aggregating info about a group of products I’m trying to choose between. personally I don’t see much use for ai in general beyond menial stuff like that but that stuff actually is pretty nice aside from the whole ‘destroying the environment, economy, and several industries’ part. almost makes me want to get a computer that can run it locally just so I can try and find a use case without the destruction.

any usage of ai that allows it to execute tasks beyond simply outputting something to the user. if it interacts with stuff (especially with some degree of autonomy) it’s an agent.

yeah the framework 12 doesn’t make a lot of sense bc the price point is way too high. kinda sucks bc if it was at more of a Chromebook type of price point it would be undoubtedly the best option for schools.

yeah, shows that they actually give a damn about what they sold you. always nice to know that they’re gonna make sure what I paid for will still work right. it’s part of why I love indie games so much. you can reach out to the dev like 10 years after they stopped working on it and let them know about a minor bug and it’ll be fixed like the next day.

edit: spelling

love it when studios randomly come back to a game years later with a new dlc like “hold on tim had a really cool idea while working on the next one so we’re gonna add it to the old one”

it has literally no benefit. its just inconvenient for no reason.

i love everything about nier automata except that it hijacks my camera all the damn time and even hijacks movement pretty often

its attestation, not verification, and they are just putting things in place to comply with the law bc you have to. being open source does not exempt you from following the law.

also, since every proprietary platform won’t even bat an eye over this everything will soon require it to function (obviously assuming the laws pass). this means linux won’t work properly with any web-based things. this is the same issue you get whenever Wayland tries to go against what every other platform does and just breaks a bunch of apps.

might just be forgetting smth but I have no idea what you mean by persona. so far though, all sys76 have done is work towards supporting something they are about to be legally required to do in the state they’re based in (co), even if they did it in a kind of sucky way.

you can still reach out to the people who make those decisions and try to get people ti understand why age verification and attestation are bad. theres no point getting mad at companies for complying with the law. arguing how they’re doing it is fine but complaining they’re doing something they literally have to is just whining.

its age attestation, not verification, and linux is still going to have to comply with the law either way. being open source does not give us immunity from whatever laws are passed. if you have a problem with it, keep the law from being passed in the first place.

glad they’re finally realizing the metaverse is bullshit. the term came from early cyberpunk (genre, not franchise) media to describe the internet as we know it before it was invented and properly named.

bread and circuses were free. unfortunately this is even worse.

its a know your audience thing. gotta gauge who will be ok with it and who won’t.

well because its dangerous nationalism in other countries, duh

i prefer more of a win7 style with accent color outlines, but win9x style will always look good.
