50% of the player count are bots that do not cheat … maybe.

I have been thinking about this: With the recent advancements in AI could you build a bot that pretends to be a human playing the game (with some intentional flaws in its gameplay – so no aimbot for example)?

I would imagine player behavior – like movement around obstacles – in tf2 would be a valuable data mine to train AI further.

An image of a depressed Soldier overlay-ed with team fortress memes? What is the meaning of this?

Lets hope they stay true to their words and do not deprecate Manifest V2 later, since firefox is an open source project, theoretically anyone could fork it and build this on their own, but I heard compile-times for firefox is long. And as complexity of the web increases maintaining your own forked web browser will become harder and harder. That is why projects like Ladybird are important imo.

As more and more webpages do not support firefox anymore (Notion did not work for me today) the web will become unusable in a dystopian Manifest-V3 only future.

As Firefox will introduce Manifest V3 which will make ad-blockers unusable, I hope they will not implement that as well … But since this is so new, this will not have any add-ons at all for the foreseeable future

Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.

What will they do next?

• More advertisement.
• More features that require an always on internet connection?
• Forced restart for software updates

This is why I expect Linux share to slowly increase until the old computers die and you will not be allowed to choose to boot another operating system besides Windows on your Microsoft-Copilot+ PC that would be your only option.

youtube will also become harvested for AI data. And filled with AI functionality in the future. ergo: Look out for alternatives.

Humans may test garbage knowledge in real life and experience failure. So in that sense no?

When playing on community servers I never witnessed aim bots until now.

• Uncletopia servers are okay…
• there are funny inofficial game modes like:
  • x1000 multiplies all weapon stats by 1000
  • classwars one team is one class. for example medics vs scouts
  • randomizer, get a random weapon (for example Medigun as heavy)
  • jump training maps: solve pakours
  • grappling hooks on ctf (community maps like ctf orange)
  • 100 players in one server

So: Community servers should be used more often by normal players, they offer diverse different maps and gamemodes and are a decentralized solution to the bot problem.

How do you guys update python versions and all the libraries you have installed? I have multiple like

• pygame
• ptpython
• pandas
• Pillow
• icecream
• … is it not a massive hassle to have to reinstall all of this with every new version and fight the old version on ubuntu?
