while* hearing about it.
Think we just have a different take on the meaning of ‘expect’ is all.
nothing about finally being in a playable state

heh
I know it’s five days old and made heavy use of AI. My comment is that before hearing about it, it’s deeply cynical to expect it to be AI driven.
As expected? There’s been a few high profile RE efforts recently of games of the era without AI tooling. The Mario 64 decompile effort from a few years ago being the most notable. While I’m not surprised to see an AI disclosure here (I would assume agents are a very useful tool for this particular work), this just as readily have been an entirely human passion project.
… They’re not lamenting that it’s dangerous. They’re exercising their authority over the strait.
This is about market capture, not compatibility. This isn’t about expanding the existing library, but opening the door for future titles to make kernel level anti cheat a requirement. While the current community will likely turn their nose up, Linux gaining traction means there’s a growing line of users that may not.
Even if this were technically correct, it would be disingenuous.
PAC spending is directly correlated to congressional election outcomes. Being pedantic about the word ‘bought’ doesn’t hold up either, this is an accepted use of the word.
If the PAC is operating under the support or guidance of a foreign entity, it is a foreign lobby. The origin of the dollar is irrelevant.
But, yes. MTG was, is, and probably always will be an anti-semite.
Sure… But there aren’t facts on occurrences. Violations seems like it would be a strong indicator of occurrences. If not, why?
Stepped right on some ml land mines with this one. For what it’s worth, I’ll back you up a bit. I don’t think all actions have strict utilitarian needs. There is a mountain of soft value to these large scale actions that go missing when we focus only on concrete progress.
If nothing else, these are obvious community building and networking opportunities. The US is starved of these opportunities, and rather than turning our noses up, should be engaged with. Pissing and moaning about structure loses the forest for the trees.
We don’t have examples of these movements being effective without targeted and concrete goals, but we also forget all examples of the moments in between these landmarks. It’s important to develop this momentum into structural progress, rather than upset that the average person is more willing to participate in less-targeted action. Progress doesn’t have prescribed structure, despite what many suggest. Take wins where you can and keep working.
There’s no subtext. This man has no obligation to this law, so “How dare this person follow the law. ;(” isn’t relevant. This man is not following a law, he is simply going about his day. He is volunteering, and not compelled. There is no sanctity of law at play here.
But, to play ball, yes. If a person who would otherwise receive punishment were to do this, I would take that into account. That is not the case here.
Let’s just ignore whether there’s any moral or ethical arguments about legal compliance: What law is this man complying with? This is not a law that governs him. He is volunteering, and not compelled. There is no sanctity of law at play here.
Sorry, I’m a bit too used to the average take everyone has that Steam somehow gets a pass and Epic is the peak of tyranny. Pardon that, I largely agree.
For what it’s worth, usually devs use one of a handful of telemetry solutions to track achievements and the like. There’s some plumbing needed to hook those systems to a platform like Steam, but it’s the same idea for Xbox, PSN, etc.
Most major platforms have the same general pieces on the backend, though all laid out a bit differently.
This is kind of a wild take on the fediverse. If Epic is a megacorp, then what is Valve? I get that fracturing the marketplace could lead to a worse outcome for consumers, but surely praying for benevolent billionaires isn’t a winning strategy.
Steam is just as much of a problem as EGS.
That simply is not what people want when they look for information.
Well, except for those who do. The problem is a use case mismatch. I’d argue, if anything, an encyclopedia should contain the minutiae. Unfortunately, there’s no huge compendium of brief but accurate and sourced synopsis of the same topics. To be fair, we’ve never really had one.
I agree with the editors that embedded AI summaries are not a good idea (at the moment, at least). Users can bring summarizers to the data set of that’s their want, or someone (maybe even wikimedia) will find a way to provide this in a way that preserves the underlying data’s validity. Stripping Wikipedia of its full context seems like a bad idea.
Headscale, for one. This is probably implied as part of one of your above stacks, but let’s list it out loud. Tailscale is great and all, but it’s downright icky to offload routing of any variety to a third party.
Immich. Turn off Apple or Google’s automatic scraping of all photos, keep usability. Even if you’re not a photo person, at least some of your users are.
Syncthing is or Nextcloud, or something in the family. This may already be part of your NAS plans.
One of the code forges like forgejo, gitea, gitlab. Even when not a developer. Self hosting involves configuration and if you can get that into text and into a history, it makes things so much easier. Add bells and whistles to your hearts content, but these are good suites for a lot of functionality. Forgejo does have federation on its road map, but it’s a while off still.
These are ones I find pretty ubiquitous. There’s so many options once you have initial infrastructure. Email, for instance, isn’t as daunting as the horror stories make it sound, though not as simple as many hope. My suggestion is to take time and do it correctly. There’s a lot of backtracking involved as you learn more, but it’s usually worth it. Best of luck!
I’m not wrong
Except for this whole part
Nobody knew about it, nobody is backing it, nobody is leading it, there’s no goals, there’s organization, there’s no coordination, there’s literally nothing
Look, I gave it a pass with your snarky restatements. But this is just gaslighting.
I’m actually active in my the efforts of my local community
Good. Hopefully you’re not busy being snide and gaslighting with them.
Let’s set aside the ridiculous bad faith restatement aside as just an emotional reaction.
Here are things that are occurring: https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/ice-out-of-everywhere
This is 10 seconds of typing into a browser to attach to a single organization effort. Yet “nobody knew about it, nobody is backing it, nobody is leading it, etc.”. You’re objectively wrong. You’re willfully ignorant. You would know this if you even attempted to look. It’s the coldest its been and people are in the streets across the country. Get up, go outside, and find out. And repeating this the futility of it all is exactly how you support the current tyranny facing us.
You seem so frustrated that people are patting themselves on the back for sharing jpegs, yet you sit here doing significantly less than the bare minimum. You are working against it.
Nobody’s butthurt here. I’m saying your rhetoric carries water for fascists. And every time you say “it’s just facts”, you reinforce that in everyone’s mind. It’s not about winning an argument about how progress gets made, its pointing out how the way speak identifies our politics. Its ok, lots of people agree with you. And more people will be shot in the streets while you’ll be correct about how progress works.
I’m saying that the framing of this response is intrinsically reactionary, if not xenophobic. Criminality itself is rare. Americans themselves are vastly more prone to criminality. And the ideals of the American system, for better and worse, are forwarded only by Americans themselves, and not their guests. If this is about public decency, following laws, and participating in the system, then the call comes from inside the house. “Crime should be punished” is the accepted way of the world. There’s no point in stating it, we take it for granted as part of the ‘civilized world’. For some reason this needs reiterated in the context of immigration, however? Evidence suggests if anything this is of less concern when discussing immigrants, yet it needs restated?
Maybe more simply, it reads, “I don’t trust 'em”. There’s a type of person who says that kind of thing.
There is no clean room implementation of a discrete title that would not run afoul of Western copyright and trademark law. If you want to release Super Mario 64, as it was made, you will not have a free license to do so until it enters the public domain. You can release Supra Wario 63, with all it’s not quite the same assets, and argue that you can get away with it. The value of these projects is not the licensing.
Now, worse? This scenario would actually be improved if the AI were to do the whole implementation? Because it would apply a FOSS license where a human could not? This is nonsensical.
