Just a dude on the internet, looking for content and fun! I love Linux, gaming, writing, reading, music, anime, walks, and occasionally movies too. Chronically ill and anxious too, that makes life quite interesting...At times.
Good, I'm getting the popcorn ready for all the CEO crash-outs (caused by their poor choices) that are going to happen. All because they fed from a slop trough that they couldn't get a lot of people to eat from.
ROFL Stealing prompts, really?! That's not work or effort in the slightest, making slop isn't real work, it's just trash.
The Parkour and Fighting challenges were so much fun in the original game and Dying Light 2; it gave me an objective to follow post game, trying to improve my parkour and combat skills. I hope that they do bring them back at some point.
As for running over the Infected, yeah, it's fun especially when you unlock the skill that increases truck durability! Suddenly stopping and running over virals that fly off the truck is also super fun.
It's currently at 97% No, because I just visited it to get the link to a No AI DuckDuckGo. As those gassed up LLMs known as "AI" are a blight upon the tech space, so many CEOs are making the world a sloppier place; what's worse some people are buying in to this "AI" nonsense. 🤬
Thank you for acknowledgment of my understanding! Mobilek does have deranged creators, but their weird egg related activities aren't so bad (I don't jive with that kink though). However, their Mobilek chatbots which are actively brainwashing and making people think weird, reality disconnected thoughts is far creepier. Their trying to keep people clicked up in a darker way than most; all for the money dollars, surveillance, and control!
Yeah, I wish they'd almost went with a fast travel mechanic with safe zones, instead of the truck mechanic. Since Safe Zones are sprinkled just right across the map, and grant you access to most of the world. Though, I do feel the driving immerses you in Castor Woods and makes it easier to cover massive distances.
Projectile Retrieval is a mixed bag for me, sometimes I could retrieve just about every crossbow bolt I shot. Other times, barely any of them can be retrieved, especially in stealthy situations you should get more back. I find it deeply annoying and that needs to be tweaked; I also liked to reach fairly high spots and rain hell on the Infected. In most cases Dying Light 1 basically gave you all your arrows back; Dying Light: The Beast it feels closer to 30% of the time, you get a projectile back (I ran a crossbow).
Dying Light: The Beast is a continuation of Dying Light's story, it's set a year after Dying Light 2. It was a supposed to be a DLC, but the scope quickly expanded, and Techland decided to make it game instead! There is Co-Op with friendly fire, but there isn't specifically a PVP mode. Dying Light always leaned towards Players VS Environment, despite having friendly fire enabled during Co-Op sessions.
After the Mamdani campaign, I would be shocked if someone wasn't at least contemplating it. It would take a very special person to do it though, as you have to be genuine as fuck and act on your ideals. Like Mamdani who went to all the places his constituents hang out. He, a heterosexual man went to a gay bar in the early morning hours and to talk to the men there, he treated them with respect in their own space. I would love to see something like this be replicated more...I have the charisma of a rotten lemon peel so it couldn't be me. ROFL
Not at all shocking since their gassed up LLM hasn't brought all the customers to their Gemini...
So Google will annoy potential long term users with ads, who will leave, and Gemini will be tossed in the Google Graveyard soon enough. The circle of existence for a scam!
I just remembered Ben Shapiro's lack of comprehension when it came to the saucy exaggerations featured in the song "WAP". Honestly, I feel this is a bad move for Gavin as inviting someone who lacks the ability to have a meaningful dialogue and just shills the next outrage piece. Not that Gavin has a leg to stand on given his abandonment of Trans Rights...
Couldn't have happened to a better company! Hopefully, OpenAI does run out of money and because they've done fuck all with gassed up LLMs this failure will be a Dark Sign on a Hollowed Tech Corpse, showing that this is a futile venture. AI cannot be real, because they never put any real effort into it as in figured out what human consciousness actually is, invested countless years+cash into building an artificial brain that functioned like a human one for example. Or even better, ways to power and cool these data centers without threatening the world with ecological disaster. Also, not threatening the livelihoods of people in general and actively stealing their data.
This bid for so called "AI" was just a get rich scheme that was never going to fulfill any of the hype or overpromising that Big Tech hope posting fuckwits and other shills promoted.
I honestly wouldn't mind AI, if it lead to a Post Scarcity society like Star Trek. However, a bunch of Corporate Ghouls could never be trusted to steer humanity in that direction.
No, mostly because I don't use CHATGPT or any of the services that were made due to getting cursed inspiration from it. Will other people be convinced? Probably, as they might already have some metrics that support the potential profitability of such a disgusting move. Chatbots have been constructed to prey on vulnerable people; so it's a matter of time before more people are manipulated into being good little consumers and buying whatever the highest bidder has paid LLM companies to shill for them.
Really it boils down to having a basic understanding of what commands can do and why you'd want to use them in specific instances. There are general books and resources out there that can at least raise baseline knowledge, for example Introduction to Linux. Or one of my favorite The Linux Documentation Project. As experienced people forget what it's like to be new at something, you won't immediately find anything super readable out the gate; though occasionally you do run into easy to understand things just randomly on the web. Secondly reading the documentation of the distro you are using (as sometimes you'll find some useful stuff in there) like what they use as a basis to create their distro. That can aid one's troubleshooting because you know where you can look in order to achieve the result you crave. Or help you ask targeted questions that can boost your ability to learn about things.
Another is not using an Arch-based distro when you've only used Mint as your first distro, that is a difficulty spike that you aren't ready for. Ubuntu is probably the easiest to get your toes wet with, after Mint, as you have graphical ways of solving problems and terminal based solutions. A great hybrid for learning the basics, as most command related solutions are similar (but do have different structure based on the distro). As Ubuntu's documentation is fairly solid and can mostly be parsed once you understand the basics. Linux is a different animal in a lot of respects, it's meant for people that are ready to learn and Linux can be learned over time. To really understand, it will take time and effort to parse documents, think, and apply the fruits of those mental labors. However, as Linux is a community, you can reach out to others. There really isn't an easy way to do this, is my point. We all start out fresh, but because humans have brains, you can figure Linux out.
I am beginning to understand Funhole a bit more with every post...Books have always been my ally (curated based on author as there are some bad actors out in Book Land). I knew that talking to computers, even small ones was the worst mistake that anyone could make. A phone is a tool, but, it is never your friend!
Sometimes if your interests do not align with the Fediverse...It can be an experience that causes you to feel alone. I think coming out your cave and being the change you want to see is one of the best ways to create communities! This is the greatest strength of the Fediverse, building community is an exercise that does pay off. It does take time and you can encounter some cool peeps.
Eww, that's the worse trade that one could possibly do. ROFL Given how much of a fail "AI" is at the moment, they could never deliver anything substantial with such a trade.
You're welcome! Since you were chill, I simply replied in kind. As that's just what people should try to do!
"Lmao. The AI note was to head off the silly commenter that was sure to show up and make the accusation. It was not really directed at you." My guess was correct then, so this is fine!
While we do differ on our gaming wants and needs, I feel this is fine as well. As not everyone is uniform in what they want and what they need from a gaming platform.
Personally, I appreciate the ease of consoles, except when it comes to troubleshooting because I can't change how a game behaves with launch commands or other toggles like on PC. There are times when PC is riddled with issues, don't get me wrong, but I often can solve them within a matter of perhaps an hour or a few at worst. While I do expect to get a product that just works and doesn't demand much of my time to make it work; I do appreciate the ability to tinker and figure out how to make something work. Naturally, this is the major difference between us, that is quite alright! The Steam Machine is going to be a marriage of both console and PC worlds because it can be used in either context and just work...Given it has that massive library of games at the ready. Oof, I am so keen about this thing...
While I do love my Series S because it's a little guy that can perform pretty well...I think Microsoft's near perfect parity demand between the Series S and Series X was an unhinged ask. Microsoft's Xbox division deliberately underpowered the Series S, in order to sell it at a price that many could afford. I feel like they should've released a console that was more mid-high range, with an optimized as fuck slim version of Windows for Xbox. One that would have enough resources and power to run games with a bit of visual glam and smooth performance, however, Microsoft executives were too busy huffing their own farts to consider this and they fucked their console line instead. As they tend to do, fumble the ball and bag in numerous instances, when making literally any other decision would've won them a bit of success. I will say that Sony made killer moves with their consoles, earning new customers+keeping the existing ones because of Xbox Division's sanctioned blunder.
I think Apple mostly gets the "it will just work" down; however, because they control the software and hardware...It gets a bit scary in my opinion. As major bugs will get overlooked or ignored despite getting a lot of feedback from security types. Up until last year, Apple had a terrifying vulnerability that if malicious actors would've exploited, could've compromised a ton of phones for just some medium effort leveraging. Through Apple's podcast app and how it interfaced with the web, I cannot put into words how terrifying this truly is. When Apple has bugs, they have the nuclear option kind of bugs in their software.
This is why I am team Android, at the end of the day many people looking at the same code will discover and upstream patches. There is an incentive for Android OEMs to do this, for Apple, in most cases they cannot be arsed until a suitably large uproar happens. As people will buy their stuff if they are balls deep in that ecosystem. For the most part, that works for them, and I don't object to people willingly choosing that tech fate. I do disparage Apple because they aren't responsible when it counts to fix long standing issues that could harm their user base at a moment's notice.
I do agree with the "tech should work for me" approach; we just seek different things in our gizmos and gadgets, thankfully either of our approaches are quite valid! Also, that the tech market can cater to either of these approaches.
Honestly, the most useful thing that Microslop could do that this point is two things: Fully abandon gassed up LLMs (which could never be AI), two fix their Broken Window OS. Or a secret third option: Perish as a company, because they've already embraced failure.
