I don’t know why everybody keeps downplaying where AI is already at and the speed at which it is improving. It can already disrupt multiple industries with where image, voice, and LMM AI is at right now.

Crazy how simple and obvious that seems after you see it, but I never would have suspected it if someone did it right in front of me.

WTF? Why would you smell moldy? Would you not wash the cloth? Do you think people who use wash cloths aren’t washing them?

This thread is a disturbing trip.

Crossposting is popular and there are a lot of overlapping communities that post the same sort of content so of course you will right now. The current lemmy users are overwhelmingly nerdy, so piracy and gaming communities are going to show up a lot and there are several of them over the different instances.

So you’ll see this on several gaming communities and again on several piracy communities.

Has tildes said when they will change their restrictions? Would love to try it but as far as I know it’s invite only.

Unless you don’t vote on much, I think you underestimate how much information can be attained from the pure data of up/down votes.

There is also the fact that people traditionally vote on stuff they wouldn’t comment on because they see it as more private.

So we just shouldn’t have high speed sattelite internet for people in rural areas or disaster areas because some people make money from it?

Or they should only be there if a government runs the sattelite? Because that wouldn’t change the effect they have on telescopes.

This is the kind of comment I was talking about.

I do wonder how much the average people commenting would care if musk had nothing to do with this.

It’s an issue, but it’s an issue scientists knew was coming for decades now. Starlink isn’t the only company putting satellites into low earth orbit. They aren’t the first and the amount of them will just keep coming.

What we need is regulations and requirements for how many, what purpose, how they’ll be dealt with if something goes wrong and when they’re no longer needed, etc. Getting people to share satellites that are already there (when possible) and not putting up satellites that are redundant or don’t provide that much benefit versus non-satellite options or further orbit options will be important.

But all these mindless circlejerkers only talking about musk and wanting starlink “taken down” are really polluting the topic with meaningless bullshit. It’s unfortunate people are bringing these mindless circlejerks over from reddit.

I really hope they add this feature. I’d love to block all of lemmygrad.ml so I can stop seeing russian/Chinese propaganda and pro-genocide bullshit any time I scroll for too long.

I swear it did for like a day, I could have sworn I saw a post about that update. Maybe it was a different app 🤷

That’s how I’d like it to work too, it makes sense.

But this is not at all how the vast majority of people use the terms. In a time where people can barely communicate as it is, at what point is it harmful to stick to definitions barely anyone still uses in the US?

Is this definition of “leftists” widely accepted? I always thought that word was just another word for liberal or anyone who isn’t right wing these days.

I wish those people understood the full history of Apple making every effort of creating this problem on purpose to create this effect. They’ve done everything in their power to stop any standard being introduced between the OSes and to introduce features that create this “iPhone vs others” clique bullshit.

Yet these kids and even adults act like it’s an android problem. I hate how corporations always win like this, they know exactly how to manipulate people and it works.

Surprised no one has linked this yet.

I’ve had to support both in my family, apple has consistently been more of a pain. They’re almost impossible to fix when they’d decide to start breaking or doing weird things. Every android is an easy fix, and no matter how bad they get there is always a fix. With apple after almost any point it’s “send it in and pay for a repair or buy a new one”, just like apple designs them to do.

I’d rather trust the devil I know than the devil that’s better at hiding it’s evil. Apple isn’t some amazing perfect company that cares about you. Almost everything they do is anti-user, they just do it in a way that apple-only users think is a bonus because they’ve been forced into apple only products already. Not to mention their idiotic pricing.

If you think apple is somehow “trustworthy” or not just as “evil” as Google in any way you’ve let their marketing team fool you.

Cyberpunk fits your three requirements, and you can play it as a non-shooter if you want. You can go melee if you like that, or play as a cyberdeck user who hacks the cyberware of your enemies instead of attacking them directly (can be really fun, or repetitive depending on what you like). I agree with @trankillity though, wait and see if there’s a bundle with the new big DLC this fall. It is also going to be a massive overhaul of the game and bring tons of improvements.

Subnautica plays pretty good on the Steamdeck and is not a shooter.

If you like older RPGs and Skyrim but haven’t played Oblivion, consider looking into how to install Oblivion on the steamdeck along with a major overhaul mod(s) for graphics and gameplay. Oblivion plays amazing on the steamdeck with the controller mod, and it barely uses battery. I can play hours more Oblivion than I can any modern game, and with a graphics overhaul it doesn’t look that bad. Plenty of modern games look worse and still use up the battery in hours less time.

I love it so far. I’ve been a huge supporter for decentralization for a while now through blockchain tech so it’s great to see so many people finally seeing what makes decentralization as a concept so great.

I just hope the apps keep developing at the speed they are because they are the part that is lacking the most right now. The experience is significantly better on PC right now. Even simple things like finding new communities is difficult on the apps I’ve tried so far.

Same. I understand why it’s like that, all instances need to be able to see the information. But there must be a way to do this without the instances understanding exactly which users are doing what. Something like zkproofs or hashes or whatever (I’m not a programmer, clearly), there is surely some way to do it while maintaining some privacy.

It gives a lot of data on users to see exactly what they upvote and downvote. Especially with AI being able to go through that data very quickly. It wouldn’t be hard to find out a user’s political leanings, general IRL location, age, gender, so many personal details they don’t want to share that could be used against them through advertising or worse.

I’ve been on the internet long enough to say it won’t. It will last a long time depending on the design of the system that creates the communities (mods, upvotes/downvotes, rules, algorithms, etc), but even that is limited because eventually every community reaches the size it needs to to encourage toxicity, echo chambers, circlejerks, and attracting even more toxic people from outside the communities.

It took reddit many years to start reaching that point though, I hope it takes these federated sites longer. And hopefully due to their design, they can keep most of the toxic people isolated.
