check on your boomer relatives. is it just me or can any other people immediately tell an AI photo because of the lighting and Depth of field is always wrong? Like it’s always off.

Memmy is my favorite. cute name. Memmy for Lemmy

people are shitty

What I’ve seen from the average person, torrenting safely is for techies and most aren’t bothered with the effort of it. It’s a low hurdle that most people don’t want to waste time on. Building a local collection takes a shit ton of time. I’m currently rebuilding my music collection to roll my own music streaming server and I’m questioning the time value. But I’m sick of music I like getting deplatformed due to licensing

I’m holding my judgment on AI assisted content. I already feel ai writing and image generation is still shitty, I’m less interested in something more complex like a video game.

Also, my 20+ years in the workforce has taught me that large and small companies suffer the same exact problems and both are greedy. Ai will be used to not hire workers, but to increase worker output , not lighten their load.

I trust indie companies to maybe make better content, but I expect them to rip off workers.

Not that I’m defending EA. There’ve ruined so many franchises.

What?

nope. hate dealing with a cashier, never going back. If I’m grabbing an item or two, I can be out in like 2 minutes. Most places I don’t even have to touch the screen or fiddle with a card reader. scan scan, tap phone, I’m out! even at wallmart you can finish a transaction without pushing anything.

Every game I’ve bought this year has ran perfectly in Linux. And I don’t check the Linux status before I buy them. Yolo has paid off

This game has taken so long that it’s either money laundering, the devs are just incompetent, or they suffer from the inability to edit themselves down

Which would be a bonus benefit to lawmakers.

True. Even though the end to end Encryption could be a target

I agree

Yeah I’m not into the government limiting the internet at all. Also, sometimes the internet is a safe haven for people who are alone or have trouble with their peers. Anonymity can help also get things off your chest, and be yourself. Although the big social media players aren’t about anonymity.

Young pre-Autism me was helped greatly by the early internet and chat rooms. And adult me really is surviving socially online due to living in an area hostile to me and and indifferent at best. Discord, Matrix, and IRC have great communities that have made me feel welcome and share interests. I’d be completely isolated and alone without them.

But notice I didn’t say traditional social media. I don’t like algorithms manipulating and all the tracking.

Yeah, you can’t trust Americans. They’ll steal your own land out from under you and Rob your grandma and call it good business sense. Saying this as an American.

Yeah, when I released the alpha of my first open source app, boy I had a lot of work to do when I started getting feedback

I really love launching the new big picture mode. Valve is really nailing the better console feel

Yeah who cares what they do as long as they’re getting whatever they need out of it. Not my farm, not my heffers. As long as that heffer doesn’t come trampling the kids.

There shouldn’t be.

You need to install the Firefox-driver. That’s what selenium uses to control the browser. You either download it or get it from Apt.
