This is the most tone deaf dystopian shit I've ever read, jesus christ.

Have you considered firing half the workforce and pushing AI harder? I think that might fix it.

Me 5 years ago: "Man olive oil sure is expensive, it's twice the price of the cheapest canola!"

You sweet ignorant child.

I think most of us are struggling with this issue, but I'm really not sure what to do about it. Is banning them outright bad? Maybe? I just don't know.

We're all stuck in a planet scale tolerance paradox, and I don't think any current solution is particularly convincing or palatable.

Oh god.

Wow, haven't kept track of Kimmel for years, and this was so much better than I expected. Actually very refreshing.

Distro - System level stuff. A "type" of linux. Mint, Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu etc.

DE (Desktop environment) - Surface level stuff, i.e. how it looks, behaves, and often what default apps you use for basic stuff like text editing. Gnome, KDE, etc.

Distros have a default DE but often provide different versions using others for people who prefer them.

You likely won't need to interact with any of that other stuff except flatpaks. Just think of it as a form of distributing and running software.

Actually great news! Really like the feature and was consistently annoyed when you had to fall back to Google for those languages.

The US is really rocketing toward hard fascism at a rate that makes the gains of the nationalist parties in Europe look pretty tame by comparison.

What the fuck is even going on here, this doesn't even align with their own weird agenda? This just seems psychotic for it's own sake.

Oh yeah, definitely this. The economics will probably never allow it to be deployed at a scale where it will make any sort of difference.

Instead, it is used as an excuse to not take any action on climate change which is actually realistic, albeit hard.

Jesus christ

Yup.

Sure, the long term productivity and quality takes a nosedive, but the shareholders don't care about that as long as the numbers for the next quarter look better.

This article is more disinformation than the initial comparisons were.

The author clearly has no 3D experience. OF COURSE they had to fucking scale the models, 3D assets from different games and engines are not going to automatically share the same coordinate space. The point is that a lot of geometry that make up various pals is similar enough to pokemon parts that it has almost definitely been either traced or retopologized from the Pokemon originals. Multiple pals are just kitbashed together from random recreated bits of existing pokemon.

I don't care about any vague AI accusations. I don't care or know if what they've done is legal, I'm not a lawyer. I haven't played a pokemon game since Red. But it should be clear that Palworld is at best creatively bankrupt, and they used their similarity to existing IP to gain viral success.

I'm not saying it's a mechanically bad game. I'm not saying you should feel bad for playing it.

But this stuff is definitely ethically questionable and deserves to be discussed, and that is not helped by some idiots who do not understand 3D modeling weighing in about how "all the similarities were faked". Because they were not.

Good lord, have we learned nothing? At least wait until they've actually voted, they can still find some exotic way to block us.

Edit: We made it!

Congrats guys!

Nicely put.

Did lemmy introduce a fee per letter in the headline I wasn't aware of?

Personally, I was fine with paying for "Premium Lite", which was reasonably priced, removed ads, and gave channels you watched some revenue.

But youtube removed this subscription tier a few weeks ago, leaving only the twice as expensive "Premium". Since I, and I assume most others who subscribed to "Premium Lite", has no use for the other stuff included in the more expensive tier the cost is no longer justified for me. Back to finding increasingly exotic ways of getting around their ads I guess.

Yeah, this is exactly where I'm at.

A large part of the reason I want higher framerates in the first place is that I want lower latency.

Higher framerates that actually make latency worse make no sense to me.
