  • I know everyone loves to hate Ubisoft, but this is quite the common term. Also it only even applies when the agreement is terminated, I don't even know how that would look like. I have never heard about a usage agreement being terminated, unless you yourself violate it (e.g. get banned for cheating).

  • You see, the entire world is against Israel, so if anyone but Israel says something about Israel it's a lie. Except when it's something good, they make an exception for the rare instance this happens

  • Which is going to work for a couple months until people realise you go there and are never heard of again... If they didn't already hear this from deserted mercenaries

  • I think in Germany, 'sozialliberal' usually refers to being liberal in general, except for being pro social regulations / markets. So I guess it means everything and nothing 🤷

  • There is a way to kinda make this work, this would be hardware based security. You could use a TPM to make reasonably sure the kernel is e.g. mainline / hardened / anything else acceptable. Hardware vendors (i.e. Intel, AMD etc.) would have to provide a service where they hash the kernel alongside their keys for the game devs to check against (probably not for free). You would absolutely have to use Secure Boot tho, and eventually keys may be leaked. Another possibility would be devs connecting directly to your TPM to make sure (afaik this is possible in principle, but not mean to be used that way).

    I think there are easier ways to prevent cheating tho, for example simply detecting suspicious activity on the server side, i.e. stats go way up, looking at data coming from clients other than yours.

  • I love how these fuckers have a Wikipedia article that's like: "Yup. Their nickname sums it up. These are fucking motherfuckers that do nothing but look pretty. Do not touch them, do not keep them, they are just mean fuckers." And they stress that 'fucker' part like 4 times.

  • I really can't stand spiders except for jumping spiders. They have caused me to become a lot less hostile towards spiders in general

  • AI has the potential to make most work optional in the long run. Humans have the potential to not use this for a global, eternal vacation full of rich experiences and artistic expression, but a reason to let everyone die that is not needed anymore

  • Games and multiplayer have existed before any of this mess, so it is evidently not necessary. If a publisher thinks otherwise, they can't continue to make multiplayer games. Sucks to be them I guess, I'm sure others will pick up the ball

  • Multiple approaches have been suggested - from local multiplayer (which can potentially be extended to the internet) over releasing server binaries or source code, to providing documentation that allows to recreate a server.

  • "80,000 Hours", because not only does it teach you something about wealth, humanism and fulfilling careers, it also highlights imminent dangers that receive little (scientific/regulatory) attention and points out that everyone can do something without being rich or a genius.

    Although I somewhat dislike their frequent measure of 'impact' in terms of money, the book puts quite a few things into perspective, and I can accept that you need to quantify things to do so. I particularly like that they encourage you to think about problems from different angles, and them pointing out that you can have a very real impact on the overall wellbeing of any living creature, pretty no matter what you do.

  • You wish they were like this, but in addition you are supposed to strongly look biologically male / female depending on what's in your pants and only wear pants / dresses accordingly. Also please behave like they expect to and only like in bed who and what they allow you. And also please share their religion and fuck what science has to say about your sex.

  • You can run R1 locally, it's just fucking creepy, because it tries super hard to sound human

  • I miread the community as 'Lampy Shitpost' and am worried about my mental health at this point*

    *might be unrelated to this platform

  • I'm wondering what the problem even is. I mean, can't you just put all the stuff relevant to 32 bit gaming into a 'retro-gaming' package and be like "there, now if you want updates, better find maintainers"?

    If you have an old game, chances are you won't need many new features. Only problem could be other packages or the kernel becoming incompatible. I don't know how relevant that is in this instance.

  • I love how it goes completely over Trump's orange, balding head, that NATO leadership talks to him as if he was a child

  • That's one way to learn lock picking I guess

  • There is. EndeavourOS fundamentally is Arch Linux. You could replicate the exact thing by installing Arch, adding the EOS repos for their utilities, and setting it up to be the same.

    Manjaro diverges from Arch in that package versions and the time of updates are manually controlled. This means the project is generally not using the same software as an up-to-date Arch system.

    Manjaro promises to be more stable like this, however their approach can lead to compatibility issues with AUR packages, which generally assume up-to-date Arch. It also kinda goes against the philosophy of Arch to invest time in extensive system tests. These issues are why many Arch users don't particularly like Manjaro

  • There is nothing mysterious about LLMs and what they do, unless you don't understand them. They are not magical, they are not sentient, they are statistics.
