  • I don't recall the name, but it was a Windows-only tool.

    This app sounds like it's just the recreation of that same tool in Linux. I haven't tried it yet (I could see some added complexity when using Proton), but I would expect that you could do the same thing with this.

    e: nucleus co-op was the name

  • I've used a similar tool to this to play Risk of Rain 2 as a local co-op. Both clients had their own displays, sound and controls (TV+controller and PC) and it worked flawlessly. We were both getting >100FPS @4k and 1080p using a 5700x3D and a 3080.

    It's a nice way to play older multiplayer games that don't support split-screen.

  • Google is paying a pittance to achieve vendor lock-in.

    The training may be free but there will be other services which will not be free and the other services will integrate better with the existing 'free' Google services better than anything else.

  • It's not allowed.

    There's only one opinion on AI allowed on social media: It's the worst thing to ever happen and produced by stealing from starving child artists. The ouput is somehow simultaneously the worst quality imaginable with no redeeming qualities and also about to put every creative out of a job by next quarter.

    The fact that you don't hold this opinion tells everyone what a horrible person that you are for not knowing the right opinion to have.

    Enjoy being downvoted out of the conversation between tech illiterate children who believe everything they're told and tech illiterate creatives who haven't found a hyperbole that they cannot employ in their Luddite quest to stop advanced linear algebra

  • I watched it at 11, spent half the movie thinking that I had half a medieval movie on the VCR tape (👴) because it didn't make any sense.

    At the black knight scene I got the joke and rewatched the whole thing several times a month for a while.

  • This looks like malicious compliance to me.

    They were probably given a list of things that the parade had to have and they went down the list. Marching in formation (doesn't say in step anywhere), check. Tanks (from 1980), check. Soldiers with drones (from Best Buy), check. Music, check.

  • The problem with trying to increase the signal to noise ratio is that you don't know all of the datapoints that are being collected and some of those datapoints could be used to filter the real from the fake.

    Like, in your example, if you made all of these account from the same browser then they could be linked together. If they were made on the same IP, they could be linked together. If you were using the same phone, they could be linked together. Those are just the datapoints that we know to try to protect, it's the datapoints that you don't know that get you.

    Like, maybe your phone or desktop is screenshotting itself every 5 seconds ("for AI purposes") or maybe the app that you're trying to fool also secretly sends your GPS location during account creation or maybe the adversary has malware running on your PC which is keylogging you.

    IF you knew all of the ways that they were collecting data on you, then you could take countermeasures. Since you don't, you have to assume that any of your identities can be linked to your person unless you take unusual measures such, not using Microsoft/Google/Meta/Amazon/etc products at a minimum. Depending on your security needs this could also mean things like using burner hardware, non-commercial VPNs, physically disabling sensors/radios/ports, traffic/network monitoring, etc.

  • Because they were told that Trump would protect them against all of the bad things that Trump's backers were blasting into their brains 24/7 via social media and partisan 'news' organizations.

    Ignorance and disinformation did way more work that Trump's charisma which is, as you've said, lacking
