>None of these things are free my friend. I have not paid a single cent for any of them. Many of them I'm even free to change it however I like and even release my version as a for…

Most of the stuff I use is free and excellent. Linux, Firefox, libreoffice, xcp-ng, bottles, steam, playnite, opnsense, docker, dockhand, immich, freshrss, obsidian, tailscale, cal…

I was wondering where this goal post would shift to next. So now instead of AI being incapable of doing something not in its training data it needs too much external help doing wha…

This always seemed obvious to me until I listened to an episode of the Risky Business podcast and they seemed to be wholly against using VPNs in such a situation because modern wif…

Yep. That said I hesitate to paste AI verbatim. Instead I tell the AI to give me a good source for the information, make sure it's trustworthy, skim it myself then paste that. Like…

It's a show until you're rounded up by ICE or you can't get an abortion in your state (or others because of mass surveillance).

The same way you stand out now. There are giant budget movies out there that are total trash compared to, say, The Odyssey. One that comes to mind that even had Matt Damon is The G…

Seems to be about $800 billion cares. Personalized advertising takes on a whole new meaning if people get to make ads on the fly. I hate everything about it but it's no doubt comin…

That is a good example actually. The reason women are typically not as harshly criticized for hitting men is that they are almost certainly physically weaker. It's also the reason …

This reads somewhat like the older I get the less morals I have. If you have a hard time seeing the wild amount of bad in the world right now you're probably profiting from it in s…

>I don't want to play even a free game if I think it was made by someone else prompting an AI I have bad news for you if you think the video game industry isn't widely embracing ge…

I guess I haven't looked into it much, but the chilling effect of having Disney lawyers scrutinize your project would be enough to deter most people. The slew of content coming out…

My challenge for anyone who still thinks like this is pay for Claude or Chatgpt and use the thinking version of the latest model for every web search you would do. See how long it …

Possibly. Sort of like how Disney remixed basically everything from existing fairy tales for decades then made it so nobody else could.

So I read a lot of ideological takes like this about video games. My take: gamers take their hobby way too seriously. Maybe I'm just out of the loop but I never hear this kind of t…

>I won't buy games built on Unreal Engine. I don't really understand making hard and fast rules like this. Clair Obscur is one of the best and most beautiful games I've ever played…

Metroid has always been a very (very) small series in the grand scheme of Nintendo. If they screw up the next Zelda or Mario they might be in trouble. But they also seem to have ac…

We're warned of heatwaves and given instructions on how to not die all the time now. Not once did this occur when I was a child where I live. Record temperatures are more shown as …

I love the dedication but isn't using a good password manager the much cleaner and robust way of fixing the bank phishing problem? Or using the app on your phone.

As someone who grew up on Homer Simpson I'm pretty fond of this character trope myself.

I also don't think it requires secure boot. I don't have it on currently (Windows 11 Pro).

What programmer codes exactly the way of any other programmer? Human ability to write code is dependent on time allowed, how hungry they are, how much sleep they got and a million …

If that hammer could allow people to go into people's homes / work en masse, steal all their information, blackmail them, steal their identities, break their systems (including tho…

You can understand deeply what you're doing and still make a huge amount of mistakes. This is what we're ironically (in terms of this conversation) seeing AI point out over and ove…
