What really grinds my ears:

Hyperlinks about alledged tools that are just links to another article about said tool.

Different context but the first time I heard about this it was touted as the future for VR

Feishin on pc

Amperfly on ios

If your library is on other platform like gog, epic, amazon or off platform .exe you can use heroic launcher and for most stuff it works just as well.

For some games there is a little more learning curve because you have to translate custom steam configurations found on protondb to do the same thing in heroic but overall you actually have way more control then steam.

The only reason “id think twice” is if you play lots of games with anticheat which does not work on every distro (like arch btw).

Remember how China is a police state and Chinese companies have to provide state access to all their data which is why you should not use Chinese technology.

The U.S is maybe 2 thin documents different in how it’s setup. If you use U.S products then privacy from the US gov is an illusion.

Psa: the reason Microsoft makes these tools linux friendly is because the know thats where the developers are at and they want them to stay familiar with their tools.

It also lowers the amount of fuss developers make when work forced them to use powershell etc because at least they can remote control and script from linux.

The message in detroid become human seems to be we would go full extermination out of fear of losing our spot on top of the foodchain. Which does seem plausible.

What i really didnt like though was how androids were designed to suffer

They had no ability to shut themselves off, if you kept abusing them they react and respond like real people. They where forced to stay sentient in their single body.

This is also why they had to experience standing in the back of the bus just for the narrative. Could have just send a drone. Could also just shut down the body while traveling and do something in cyberspace instead.

If there is one thing certain about digital “life” its that it wont have the same restrictions as us and a body is optional and basically a set of clothes.

While i did enjoy Detroid it was designed around its own pre set narrative rather then explore what could emerge organicaly if machines became sentient. I could not really take it serious because of that.

Ai can be way more then just a single llm though.

Agi and Asi still mean human level and beyond human level ai.

Wether the concepts are archievable in our lifetime is an entirely different matter.

I bet this rhetoric goes so hard, the moment we reach an economicly usefull “agi” it will be all hands on board to stop it from going ASI.

They specifically want ai that can follow orders without thinking for themselves.

What a stat.

Sometimes i go 50 times further then other times.

It kinda depends on where i am going.

Some llms have a deepsearch feature where it goes trough 400+ webpages taking multiple minutes. But usually i just need it to rewrite part of an email.

We would like to contact you for job offer in the same role as your current.

We cant pay you as much per hour but we can give you more hours to match it.

“Promise me i wont ever have to deal with Musk and i am in”

I cant find any information about wether this does include phones that where already being sold because i would be surprised if those that don’t comply on a hardware level will just disappear.

Fml when i bought a new phone last month out of fear the upcoming ones would get a price jump from tarrifs…

This is also a good beginner way to learn about self hosting in docker.

Freetube can make a great backup for when google inevitably breaks something.

And for thise videos you really cant miss there is always yt-dlp scripted to download a channels latests video on a schedule straight to jellyfin of course.

I have not visited the youtube website in more then a year.

Mfw i have been going into individual steam properties to select a proton version for all my games for the last 2 years.

For a country the size of the us a hunderd is a very small amount.

There are troubled teen services where parents pay to have their “problem” kids “legaly” abducted to send to reeducation camps. Suprise suprise they return with ptsd and tell stories of both torture and other abuse. Those “legal” institutions can have 100+ kids enrolled any given time.

I am also sure you heard of Epstein. These horrors definitely exist on very big scales with huge network as fucked up as that is.

I would personally argue that fixing the law means getting rid of the notion of intellectual property all together.

In my own reasoning someone copying me is the highest form of flattery and i would still have an edge understanding the properties of own idea better then the copycat does.

Its a huge limiter on human progress and absolutely non sensical in situations where multiple people just happen to have a similar idea. As it stands now an employee could invent the cure to cancer, the employer claiming it and then putting it in a vault to never use and bar anyone from creating it.

Naturally such idea of abolishing copyright receives lots of criticism from many people because we would have to solve other problems that copyright now aims to fix but i don’t think that justifies the damage it does.

Fanfiction and non monetised use is not at all exempt from these laws but rather tolerated by the copyright holder. Something tells me this one wont tolerate if the og creator posts anything and they may know enough background canon to know its them.

A real irony to the plot of the game is that the business partner wanted to reign in the freedom of the creators. Not impossible they deemed it to political.

I am not sure about those games you mentioning but its possible they are tolerated because a combination of plausible deniability (wizard uk boarding school isnt that orginal) and not wanting it to gain any more publicity. Disney did the same thing ignoring Micky mouse porn.

Drama. A business partner of the creators used an illegal loophole to obtain a majority stake of the company and then fired the actual creators because they where considered to volatile.

The universe of Disco Elysium is Kurvitz paracosm which he has been creating since his teens. Its a part of their identity that they are now barred from expressing.

Its a bit like if you told Tolkien halfway trough writing lotr that he is fired as the author and can never write anything about middle earth again.
