  • Well, you'll be the one who has to smell yourself 24/7 😬 Plus suffer the rotting teeth.

  • I already disabled all that "smart" crap years ago.

  • Haha I just remembered when my mom told me that my gait was "mannish" xD Joke's on her, I transitioned a few years later.

  • as the curse says, "may you live in interesting times"

  • “I can ask AI to summarize a subject for me so I can learn about it way faster.”

    These kind of arguments always remind me of this Alanah Pearce video:

    "But anytime that I ask it about a topic that I don't really know anything about, it just teaches me so much. It's actually just the topics that I do know things about that it tends to be wrong on."

    Excellent video btw, if anyone hasn't seen it yet :)

  • As much as I don't like corporations, let's not be disingenuous.

    According to this site, if those 5 million views were accrued over a year, projected yearly earnings are $37,507.

    According to this one, 5 million total views converts to about $20,000.

  • Thanks, good to know!

  • wow this is really fun!

  • Hmm thanks.

    Quite sure they want to keep it running on the deck, it seems like the perfect platform for this kind of games

    I don't find that likely, since they don't have Genshin on the Steam store, only on the Epic Store (that's how I run it so I can count my playtime).

  • I'm glad they posted about the background, I was one of the pissed users on their Github complaining about their sudden blocking of the 2nd largest archive site, while it wasn't blocked by my UK ISP. (It didn't emotionally help that as a paying AdGuard customer, I was spending money on a service that temporarily made my browsing experience worse.) Fortunately they managed to unblock it after a few days.

  • Hmm sadly that's a very different gameplay to Just Dance, here's an example. In JD they record dancers with motion capture, and you need to follow that choreography, while the game tracks your accuracy with a phone, console controller, or camera.

    So it needs a bigger production team than FLOSS indies can probably manage :c

    1. Thanks, I'll check Winboat and Winapps out! My existing info came from the WineHQ website, and InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop were all reported as various levels of broken. And yes, sadly the FLOSS alternatives don't meet my needs, I did quite a bit of research on this a few months ago.Edit: From a quick search it seems that Winboat and Winapps have the same issue as other virtual machines, namely that you can't really give them access to the GPU if you only have one. And graphics programs need that GPU access.
    2. I guess some of it is habit, kernel-level anti-cheat has been a thing as long as I've been gaming, so it feels "normal" :| But I'm looking forward to the day when my favourite games won't use it!
    3. Not using it regularly, but when I do need it, I extremely strongly prefer GUIs to CLI. I'm just a visual person, so it feels important to be able to navigate in a visible interface and see "where I am" and what my actions are affecting. With CLI I find it quite stressful to e.g. have to memorise modifier letters, instead of just clicking a checkbox. I've seen screenshots of people doing everything (including PKM) in CLI and it honestly baffles me how they can feel comfortable with it.

    Just saying, it is constantly evolving and most of the road blocks are out-dated or hinge on reliance on some other big tech company besides microsoft that is just as far down the enshittification rabbit-hole. It is not a decision you made once and have to keep living with. None of us swore a life-debt to our “team”. :)

    Of course! Make no mistake, I feel no affection towards any corporation, their main goal is to bleed us dry for their shareholders. But giving up my fully featured software and favourite games to follow my FLOSS ideals does not seem to quite balance the scales for me yet.

    Though disclaimer: if I wasn't doing piracy, but actually had to pay for Microsoft and Adobe's rent-seeking, and be subject to all their bullshit restrictions, I would probably have jumped ship years ago. Enterprise group policies can remove a lot of user-hostile crap from Windows.

  • Yeah, I hate Adobe's business practices, but for my needs their software is sadly still quite ahead of the FLOSS alternatives.

  • Wait, Genshin specifically? I heard some other Hoyo games might work. I found a Linux launcher on Github, but even they said it carried a ban risk.

  • Yeah, such a system would make me so stressed. Like tell me how much without playing these guessing games.

  • introduced unlimited PTO

    How does this work in practice? What if someone just takes the whole year off? Or would they just get fired for their work not being done?

  • The only Ubi game I play is Just Dance Now. Sadly I can't think of a non-Ubi alternative to that gameplay :/

  • Yeah, I have like a dozen colleagues between 25-60 and I can think of maybe 2 that have a PC outside of their work laptops. And those are both gamers.

  • Fuck AI @lemmy.world

    Looking for a specific research illustration on how LLMs "do maths"
