What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.

Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

To the nth degree. It’s got a lot going on

This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

It’s gotta have a massive battery unless it’s running AAA games for like 15 minutes…

This is a great move! Facilitating a direct conversation between corporation and customer is great for all!

It clearly ingests and expels sand for rocket-like propulsion, but Neil can’t even get cool with it.

To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.

Well, I know what my next project will be

I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.

If you like obsidian, synching works well to at least selfhost your data.

Not a single piece of furniture and this still looks cozy as hell

I have also been searching for a microblogging instance that doesn’t have so many random blocks. It seems most instances block more liberally than even the more closed off Lemmy instances. Due to the sheer size of mastodon and number of other services, it kind of makes sense. I’m definitely getting paralysis-by-analysis trying to choose, though. It might help to consider newer forks like iceshrimp and sharkey, too, even just for their functionality. Or maybe that will make choosing harder? Lol *you already mentioned forks, my mistake!

But still, like I said, I haven’t landed on anything in particular. It just seems more segmented, whereas with Lemmy, the biggest instances have pretty much identical front pages. I fear missing out on something too much…

Sorry if I’m kind of rambling and not really any help. Your post just reflected my experience of trying to find something. Hopefully we’ll get there!

Naughties is British/Australian for aughts or '00-'09. And then I think boomer refers to “boomer shooter”? Or just the fact that zoomers call (older) millennials boomers.

Wow, finally a handheld with malware-like bloat and a near guarantee of serious design flaws!

All I want is per-site process isolation, dammit

For some reason I thought it was more annoying to work out than it looks to be. @RegalPotoo@lemmy.world you might want to check out nix-versions
