  • That’s been my problem with it as well. I still do like dusting it off every now and again. It has the best land to space travel transition of any game I’ve ever played.

  • In a row?

  • Account banned on lemmy.ml/c/communism for 'rule 4' - in a community with no rules, that I've never posted in.

  • I had to check which community I was on.

  • How is the hosting changed when needed (e.g., a different IPFS address)? What happens in a coordinated attack by someone with 51% of the seeds, can they overwrite all of the content? Is there any cryptographic way to ensure the content hasn’t been maliciously altered?

  • Each Lemmy server contains a user database, explicit federations with other Lemmy servers, and communities. Plebbit sounds like each instance is a self contained community instead of being hosted on an overarching server with other communities. And the Plebbit communities are hosted via BitTorrent style decentralized seeding.

  • It looks like they ran Linux apps inside a virtual machine on an Android phone. That has been possible for a long time now. That is certainly a route Valve could go down, but it won’t be a very good user experience.

  • The difference there is it likely builds on the work they did for the Steam Deck and SteamOS. Writing a full Steam client for iOS or Android would be a huge amount of work independently from that.

  • Looking through the interaction again, perhaps you are right and I was reading into it too much. They were stuck trying to get you to admit brain rot isn’t a forgone conclusion and wouldn’t accept that you already answered it noting this was your experience. I do want to add to one of their points. If you start with a premise that AI causes brain rot and you are generally hostile/aggressive in pushing that view, I would imagine it becomes a sort of self fulfilling prophecy that you will only have negative interactions with brain rotted individuals.

    I think “brain rot” is because most people are lazy. YouTube/TikTok/TV “causes” brain rot in the same way. If people want to turn off their brain and fill it with mush, it will happen regardless. Counterpoint - I reference videos on YouTube fairly often for helping me fix something or learning to play an instrument.

    AI use is probably the biggest threat to what I am calling “lazy” people because it is interactive, “addictive”, and the sycophantic direction it’s taking just can’t be healthy, but I’m not so sure people will come to depend on it any more than other technologies. I’m sure you saw the news of AI contributing toward suicides, but as a counterpoint, organizing knowledge for me to make decisions is one of the things I use it for. It gets in the way and tries to steer me in the wrong direction sometimes, but overall it is useful in non-sycophantic interactions (e.g., agentic tool use). The honeymoon phase of conversational AI has been over for me for a while. Hopefully I keep an immunity to bullshit like YouTube, social media and AI (yet to be seen and I’m sure you’ll set me straight :) ) and whatever comes next, and I’ll try not to demonize the new thing either.

  • What about that exchange makes you think they are pro AI? They seemed to be open minded to learning more about the topic but for some reason nothing was resolved.

  • I asked the AI to write a comment in my usual style for internet points and moved on to the next headline.

  • Copyright isn’t about owning a pirated copy, it’s about distribution, right? The act of distributing a copy has a statute of limitations of 3 years is what OP is claiming.

  • Hacking at the kernel to make it work on a new device is a valid definition of hacking IMO.

    Hacking [something together] - building something quickly to make it work not necessarily a robust inplementation.

  • That’s like saying an unlocked Pixel phone is a PC because you could technically develop an OS for it. Unlocked bootloader doesn’t an open system make.

    I think we’re using different terms for hacking. You are using the exploit definition.

  • Switching from gas cars to EVs and having chargers at home. Always leaving the house with a “full tank of gas” and never needing to stop at a gas station again. I did stop by one to clean my windshield a while back and there was ground in trash around the pump, the wiper had no fluid, it was overall disgusting. I don’t remember them being that bad.

  • You have to hack another OS to load it on a MacBook. Try running Linux on an M3, M4, or M5 today. Not yet possible.

    Edit: Even the M1 and M2 Linux support was entirely reverse engineered. The hardware is not open, it’s not a personal computer.

  • The pedantic argument was about personal computer, not just computer. I believe it was along the lines of push a few buttons, not hack the OS. Sorry I made you mad talking about MacBooks.

  • Actually the current M-series are struggling to be feature complete on Linux, so while what you say was true for the Intel Macs, that is wilting away.

  • Totally agree there. MacBooks don’t even really qualify there and even probably near future when newer Windows devices come locked down.

  • So user friendly Linux running on it makes it not a console? For a while PS3 was just a couple button presses to get a full Linux distro booted on it. I don’t think anyone would argue PS3 wasn’t a console.
