  • Unfortunately, I tend not to play anything that pushes the power needs above 12W—usually something 2D, so it's possible that I just don't do anything that would make a noticeable change. Take my experience with a grain of salt.

  • I have not noticed that. What have you been playing? If you've been playing the same games, and they've had updates, it's possible those updates are unoptimized or just heavier to run at the settings you had previously.

  • Forking isnt a magic bullet.

    No, but good projects have come from forking away from bad decisions.

  • It was and has been thus far. Has a lot of great features, but this might be a good reason to fork the project.

  • Fair enough. I'm just hopeful I've given them a little spark of doubt and a reminder that multibillion dollar companies aren't in the business of telling the objective truth.

  • This is not a good source. This is effectively, "We've investigated ourselves and found [that AI is a miraculous wonder]." Anthropic has a gigantic profit incentive to shill AI, and you should demand impartiality and better data than this.

  • Yep, and it's going into the pockets of billionaires, who are almost exclusively responsible for said climate disasters. It's a

  • In a departure from the usual Betteridge's Law of Headlines answer, probably yes, but no matter what I or the author thinks, it's a guess. Only time will truly tell.

  • I agree, and they desperately need science communicators. Every department of every university needs people who are qualified scientists who can also speak to the public about what they do.

    Decentralization is the protection, but the remedy is education. Having freely available information isn't enough on its own.

  • I don't see a question in there. What are you asking?

  • Go for it! It will be a great learning experience, I'm sure. Scratch will help you see how all the code bits work together. Maybe it will inspire more complex projects in the future!

  • Considering your comments, you don't seem to know what the point I made was.

  • Thanks! I appreciate you noticing.

  • Like contributed to the project? No.

    Dabbled with it? Yes. Great tool for introducing computer science basics like conditional logic and loops in a fun and visual way.

  • Cool, know what job could easily be wiped out? Management. Sam Altman is a manager.

    Therefore, Sam Altman doesn't do real work. Fuck you, asshole.

  • Every threat of violence is a sign that they are weak. If they had actual power, they would do more than threaten people who also have power.

    The only power they have is to attack the powerless. Never forget that when the claptrap comes assuring everyone how strong they are.

  • I second that. I do know how to code, and I have to use it at my work in place of a search engine (annoying, but nothing I can do about it). I've caught it on multiple occasions blatantly making shit up, and I'm just searching for answers to basic questions I've forgotten, like, "Is "" a substring of apple?"

    So yeah, if you don't know how to code, it's not going to help you, and more likely, it's going to introduce issues you won't know how to debug later.

  • And they were a lobbyist. They weren't just a pretty functionary writing emails and getting coffee for the people in charge. They were actively and knowingly advocating for the abuses Meta is infamous for.

  • The American arm got bought by the US government, and specifically the Trump regime. If you're still using TikTok, and you think you have the same level of privacy (not that it was especially private before), then you must reckon with the brute fact that you are an easy mark.

    Coincidentally, I have some great bridges for sale...
