Because both the Palestinian communities and anti-DEI communities have legitimate core messages, and both have members that spread hate.

If you’re willing to let any community get taken down despite them breaking no rules or laws, accept that it also can happen to the communities you support. It is as simple as that.

Where did you go for it to be associated with terrible people? It is one of the most used twitch emojis.

Pepe the frog and swastikas are the most common extremist symbols found on Steam, according to the report, respectively representing 54.6% and 9.1% of detected symbols.

So more than half of the “extremist” symbols are a meme that a tiny fraction of conspiracy theorists think is a dogwhistle for racism.

Game mods are also touched on in the report, which claims to have found hundreds of mods for games, most notably Garry’s Mod, “that specifically reference mass shootings.”

Who even thinks this is a big deal? This screams boomers being upset about violent video games all over again.

Are you sure they’re not just pissy about the DEI Detected community and want to force steam to shut it down?

It is a nice concept in theory. It has a bit of resemblance to the metaverse minus monetary enshittification, but there are some challenges to this.

It would for example end up just as dead if the other players got bored of it and stopped playing. Then there is server costs for something where there really isn’t that much realtime interaction in, and all these metagames would need to be just as fun with a global time at a set flow, or be OK with synching only at the end of the day.

These of course aren’t impossible challenges.

You could leave the “online” part to a simple global api backend and skip the gameserver itself to greatly reduce costs. You wouldn’t see the other players in person but you’d see their shops grow each new day, and there could be an NPC of their owner walking around.

You could bankrupt inactive players and give their lands to new players, and implement import/export costs for distant shops incentivizing local trade. You’d probably still want normal NPCs, but their interactions would have to be predetermined each day if you don’t have a game server running all day, and want to prevent cheating.

The implementation difficulty and cost greatly varies depending on how much interaction and fairness you want, but setting up an API server is fairly easy if you don’t worry about scaling in case the game really takes off.

Don’t use proprietary software for something so simple as mouse and keyboard macros and variable DPI. Use Piper or something.

How small can you make an LLM before it starts having issues with grammar and coherency? I would argue that the bare minimum still would be rather large, and in videogames we’re already using vram for other resources. In a 3D game especially I imagine very little vram is left to utilize.

LLM-powered NPCs will quickly fall out of fashion as people realize they’re literally just talking to chatGPT.

The either forced always-online requirement with privacy violating telemetry for server-side LLMs, or immensely high GPU memory requirements for local LLMs will also cripple their games.

It was true in the 90s too.

You can patent the features that the code makes up.

Also, Nintendo has patented features existing in other games long before, and it hasn’t stopped them. The current lawsuit against palworld contains patent claims for features they do not actually own, which is why they need 100 different lawsuits coming their way so they get a taste of their own medicine.

They have an easy time suing one or two entities, but 100 different ones will have a significant economic impact.

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

This is the result of them blocking invidious. They targeted large Datacenter nodes and check for the number of requests from those datacenters that aren’t logged in, and block them until that number meets a certain threshold. This also causes people with VPNs to get this message. The solution is to connect to smaller self-hosted invidious instances or using proxies hosted on normal residential ips.

That depends entirely on what kind of data is stored and how often a new unique ID is created, and that’s something users can seize control over.

They put ads in books too, unfortunately. The internet ones you can block.

It doesn’t track users. It collects anonymous statistics and assign them to a unique ID without storing any other information about the user.

And it IS meant to replace cookies, but you can’t just replace them all at once and disable the legacy cookies. It is going to have a gradual transition.

And they did tell us about this many months ago.

Also disingeneous to call it adding ads to firefox, because that’s also not what is happening. They’re trying to replace cookies with something better for our privacy, and them developing this feature will not impact any users who block ads or disable tracking cookies already.

I think they should go ahead and make the feature so that people who don’t care about ads at least don’t get tracked.

It is made for various things like game development. When my company was working on remastering a GameCube game, Nintendo themselves handed us a devkit, and we used the dolphin emulator to play the original game and compare gameplay and performance.

It takes a while getting used to anything. Gimp does have a Photoshop keyboard shortcut preset, to ease you into it.

And gimp does have some parts that are better. For example importing a bunch of images and lining them up on a spritesheet is both faster and easier on Gimp. And both Photoshop and gimp have scripts to do this, but I was never able to get the Photoshop script to work.

I guess I should have been more specific.

It is all keyboard shortcuts, though, and you can configure them to all use the same ones. I believe they have a “Photoshop-like” preset you can select too.

About the RAM, I’m not sure what can be done. I guess it is a tradeoff. I’d probably go with more RAM consumption over Photoshop because I have a lot of RAM, but not everyone do. Considering the price of Photoshop if you didn’t pirate it, it would be cheaper to buy and install more RAM, though.

Gimp used to suck. Gimp 3 is amazing. Krita is great. Inkscape is OK.

Having all three requires less space than Photoshop and Illustrator and covers about every feature of both.
