I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren’t set up to pirate. And even if they were, it’s inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don’t think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.

If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out

From the post:

Whether it’s a local or a cloud-based model, if you want to use AI, we think you should have the freedom to use (or not use) the tools that best suit your needs

Maybe try travel? Bring your laptop / deck / switch so you can game on the road. But do it from some place new. If you can work from home, maybe try moving around on short term rentals. Doesn’t need to be anything exotic, could be the next town over.

Anything to break up your routine a bit. Don’t look at it as a means to an end. Try and enjoy the journey itself

For that use case, go syncthing. Nextcloud would be overkill. I run both, I use syncthing for my personal files and Nextcloud when they should be shared with others.

I don’t hate Apple in terms of privacy. I hate Apple for a myriad of other reasons. Mostly related to locked down ecosystems.

Ah, yeah I guess you can’t browse your photos using a file system view. I just meant that it won’t automatically reorganize your pictures on the file system.

However you can create albums via an API call. You could probably write a script that adds each folder to an album or something.

It definitely can, it’s called an “external library”. I just added my entire photo collection and use Immich as a frontend to view them all

Yeah that’s fair… Bad example :p

It’s like a vicious cycle:

1. People are tech illiterate
2. Tech companies design things for the lowest common denominator.
3. People don’t need to learn anything new and become even more tech illiterate

AI is going to make it so much worse. You’ll soon be in the top 5% if you have a keyboard app installed on your phone.

To be happy

Yeah exactly. I’m calling BS that the thrill of the chase is the main motivator. Maybe it is for a handful, but for the most part people just like to be dickheads.

As soon as you decide to decentralize your platform it ceases to belong to any particular group.

Then why not prove you can do it and then shut the bot down?

I dunno, I suspect most human alt texts to be vague and non descriptive. I’m sure a human trying their hardest could out write an AI alt text… But I’d be pretty shocked if AI’s weren’t already better than the average alt text.

Iirc it peaked at around 30% market share. I think IE was around 60% at the time. So never dominant, but definitely very very widespread.

Same reason most non technical people using Linux today do so on the Steam Deck. If you want to spread Linux, trying to convince individuals is going about it all wrong.

You need to convince Canonical or Red Hat to spend more on partnerships with manufacturers. I’m not sure if anyone else has deep enough pockets.

Oh man, I love adaptive cruise control. I also don’t agree that using it in the left lane is bad. If there’s a line of cars going too slowly, the person in front is the asshole, not the three using ACC behind them. You really shouldn’t pass on the right anyway, would definitely not call doing that driving safer.

I’m curious, are these hallucinations very prevalent? I’m outside under US so haven’t seen the feature yet. But I have noticed that practically every article references the same glue incident.

So I’m not sure if the hallucinations are happening all the time, or everyone is just jumping on a handful of mistakes the AI made. If the latter, the situation reminds me of how every single accident involving a Tesla was reported on back in the day.
