Closest continuer doesn’t really apply if the agent wasn’t sentient in the first place

Who’d have thought not having explosions going off inside the car constantly would cause less wear and tear

Lemmy is going to be exactly the same, super easy to scrape as it’s all standardised and open

No, there are probably loads of other factors at play

Funny though

It’s interesting that windows 10 lost more than windows 11 gained, .09% of users jumped ship because they didn’t want windows 11

I mean assuming you have not installed nix on it it’s not, just find it amusing that the default package manager’s version of steam so often just doesn’t work

No issues installing via nix!

What is the thing being shared here?

I think educating people on the dangers of social media is akin to educating crack addicts on why crack is bad for them

The vast majority are already addicted and already know the dangers

I stayed away from social media till around 18 because everyone told me how harmful it was, all that did was socially exclude me, and delay the addiction til later in life

Do people store their money in these things? I use Google pay quite often, but it draws the money from the bank at the time of payment

This sounds like the account of someone that hasn’t actually used the technology recently and/or given it a fair shot

I’ve not had any misunderstandings by Google assistant or Alexa in ages, and LLM produced code works great for me now provided you’re explicit enough in the way you instruct it (meaning you still need to understand what you want it to do)

Image generation is great for if you want a quick illustration, inspiration or a meme, not much practical benefit besides that imo

It’s been a thing but it’s not been a thing it’s been many little bits that nobody’s pulled together and marketed properly yet

No idea if this is the product to do thay but eventually someone’s gonna do it

“when we try to use a tape measure to hammer in nails it doesn’t really work, so tape measures are useless”

Fact of the matter is that it will become the norm m because cheap > quality in our system

What is the actual evidence trump wants to end democracy? I’ve only seen an out of context clip so far

Switch controllers can be weird but that’s probably just because I always try to remap them to Xbox layout and certain games disagree

Makes it work universally, even if the gui isn’t made with a standard toolkit

Also it’s ai they don’t care about efficiency

The 1 person down voting does not have a sense of humour

I think torrenting someone else’s copy of a game is still illegal regardless of if you own a copy yourself

I’m talking purely ethically, I don’t consider it to be any different where I paid for the game originally if I can no longer access it via that platform

Pretty sure roms are only legal if you rip them yourself from your own console.

I don’t think it’s legal for people to distribute them but torrenting makes that an unwinnable game of wack a mole to shut down so they don’t bother usually

So far I’ve had one hard drive fail and lose a bunch of my work from long ago (before I knew to use git), have physically lost memory sticks to similar effect

On the other hand I’ve still got everything in my Dropbox that I worked on as a child, everything on my old web server was still there until I pulled it down and cancelled it, all the contacts on my phone I have ever made, and I’ve never lost a steam game

I get not wanting to put your faith in big companies and I don’t like the idea but so far they’ve proven far more reliable than I am in looking after my stuff

(I also tend not to keep anything sensitive in there and open source all my code nowadays anyway so leaks and ai training don’t bother me that much)
