Look up LM Studio. It’s a free software that let’s you easily install and use local LLMs. Note that you need to have a good graphics card and a lot of RAM for it to be useful.

That announcement went under the radar because of how downvoted it is, but thanks for bringing it up. Link to announcement post.

I posted my thoughts there as well.

We’re going to allow some “flat earth” comments. We’re going to force some moderators to accept some “flat earth” comments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law

So basically you’re saying people should be allowed to post blatant false information and everybody should try their best to tell them they’re wrong rather than doing the sensible thing of stopping false information spreading in the first place.

People who would post that stuff would never argue with good intentions and would often argue in bad faith. What you’re suggesting trolling should be allowed, moderators and community members need to waste their time engaging with controversial content nobody wants to see, and threads will have even more people fighting in them. Who decides when wrong info and propaganda posts are allowed to be removed? LW admins? You won’t be able to keep up and are guaranteed to incite distrust in your community either way.

I’m with reducing echo chambers and taking action on bad moderators that abuse their positions, but making the blanket statement that basically translates to “flat earthers are now welcome here whether you like it or not, get ready to see posts unironically arguing about why flat earth is right in your feed” surely can ring some bells on why this is a bad idea.

This is like the third time LW tried to be front-and-center in deciding how conversations should happen on Lemmy. You are the most popular Lemmy instance and most content is on your instance. This isn’t an experimental safe space instance to dictate how social media should work. Please understand that any weirdly aggressive stances you take affects everyone.

Man, Robocraft and Loadout were both great games I enjoyed back in the day, and they both crash and burned a few years later. A real shame.

Valve is historically terrible at communicating what is and isn’t okay, but this shouldn’t be a surprise to the devs after they took down the fan-made TF2 remake.

It is, yeah. They never have playtests on PC, I think due to being afraid of dataminers and modders.

Sounds far-fetched. Everyone knows they trashed their censorship policies to be in good standing with the winning party that’s about to come into office.

According to Sybran, the Code27 was created with four goals in mind, which were:

• l want a character l love, one that’s special to me.
• Someone with a soul, not just a simple looping video.
• Someone who listens, shares in my joy, and values our cherished experiences.
• Someone who treasures every moment we share, without forgetting a thing.

Are the engineers there okay???

I can already feel the heat coming out of this device.

Awesome, thank you

Unfortunately it’s real

Disney will claim all your belongings since you bought a disney world ticket that one time. Rules are rules.

Neat project, but it’s a bit odd that this extension that’s focused on privacy doesn’t allow you to use your own local LLM instead of connectign to their servers.

I guess I’m used to saying it since I spent a long time not knowing it’s the wrong pronunciation for it.

They’ll sell out anyways due to lack of good competition. Intel is getting there but still have driver issues, AMD didn’t announce their GPU prices yet but their entire strategy is following Nvidia and lowering the price by 10% or something.

Yeah, that confused me as well. It seems like they’re making a movie instead.

Very few people would turn it on though and you’d end up with very long queue times.

A) Where’s Lisa Su?

B) Nice to see 13" laptops making a comeback

Also to save everyone some time they didn’t announce the prices on anything or even reveal the new GPUs

I don’t know, console users playing with PC would break the ranked system. Controllers are at a huge disadvantage and I can easily see people blaming console users on their team for losing.

Also why is this post getting so many downvotes?

Because it’s 2025 and Lemmy users still use the downvote button as a disagree button. It’s so predictable, any post I make about live service games gets instantly downvoted.
