You monster

Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.

The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.

Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn’t as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn’t monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they’re just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they’re just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy’s prolific posters. o7

Thank heavens for your unhealthy posting habits, we need to clone you Stamets

Doggo on the left is like: :3

Yeah, that’s a fair concern. I wish somebody would create a custom ROM you could replace the Meta shit with or something

I was in the same boat as you. I ended up getting the Quest 3, because frankly, it’s one of the best headsets on the market right now. While Meta still tries it’s best to vacuum my data, I’ve disabled as many data sharing options as I can find.

I do most of my VR gaming on PCVR through Steam Link, which is outstanding. If you have a PC and a good WiFi 6 router, you can avoid the Meta marketplace for the most part by buying PCVR games on Steam directly. That way Meta doesn’t get as much data out of you.

Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

Squish the hamster

Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It’s not just spez, it’s any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.

Ah, that’s fair. I’m a pretty casual player and didn’t really go deep beyond the medium skill levels, so I didn’t really appreciate the cut-corners beyond that. I hardly even played much multiplayer TBH, I played and loved the single-player campaigns, which is what I tend to do on most games :D

I saw that announcement video when it first came out and was super hyped for The Division. I didn’t end up playing it until around 2019 and I was really impressed with how close to the trailer the actual gameplay was. I know it had some controversy, but I guess I’m easy to impress lol

They’ve only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It’s performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.

Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.

The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.

I was never particularly into the cyberpunk genre, so I was largely immune to the Cyberpunk 2077 hype, and subsequent disappointment and anger. I’d seen tons of videos of trailers and gameplay, and never really expected to play the game myself.

I built a beast of a new PC a few days ago and picked up CP2077 on sale to put it through its paces. I loaded up Cyberpunk and my jaw was on the floor. This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen! The gameplay feels smooth and satisfying and I’m really engrossed in the lore and environment. Of course, I’m playing the 2.1 patched version of the game, so I don’t know what the experience at launch would have been like. Regardless, so far it’s felt like an incredible game!

He’s showing us the snoot, the whole snoot, and nothing but the snoot. So help him God.

I see no problem here

Oh, neat! This sounds amazing.
