Hardcore mode subnatica, and I absolutely love it.

Don't normally enjoy survival games, but am a big fan of permadeath games.

The environment, the crafting system, the edge of your seat tension knowing one small mistake is going to kill you, makes it a very engaging game.

Tried the second one and really didn't enjoy it, but the original is a masterpiece.

I believe that the area of disbelief would be that we just... stopped.

Unmanned space exploration is amazing, and we've done a ton in LEO, but we haven't put a person out past the Hubble telescope since Apollo 17, which was 1972 if I remember correctly.

While I think it's great to have tech that can identify AI generated images / video / audio / etc, one issue I see coming up will be altering legitimate media in such a way as to trigger a false positive.

Yes, this a real image of person A doing X, but by adding some artificial element to the image, the detection software will flag it as AI generated and people will shout "Fake news! See, this never happened".

Chain of custody on source material will become more important than ever, and we may reach a point that no media will be trusted.

I got pretty bad heat stroke once while running in Texas. Was in the military, and due to a stupid miscommunication was told I was not allowed to drink water.

Lap or two later and I started having symptoms I'd never experienced before.

I can 100% believe that my look and behavior could have been mistaken for drug use.

I had stopped sweating, looked pale and disoriented, I'm sure I was not speaking clearly. My friend grabbed me and dragged me to a water fountain.

Once I had time to recover, get some A/C, and rehydrate, I was pretty much fine, though I remember having one hell of a headache like a hangover.

I have 20 years experience, just cracked a project I've been working on for almost three years, and I still hesitate to consider myself an expert.

Now, I'll tell any lay person who will listen that I'm an expert, but man, some days I just feel clueless.

I find the biggest issue I run into is lack of a peer group. I work in a large IS department, but other than one guy at my last company who works with a different language, I have no one to talk shop with.

Someone once mentioned slowing time for like 2 seconds as a terrible super power, but as a skateboarder, I think this would be amazing.

Last time I voted against Trump, this time I'm voting for Biden.

That is assuming he is the candidate. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to vote against Trump again.

I haven't played with a yoyo in a very long time. Is Duncan still a solid brand? Now I want a yoyo.

I mean, I would have. If at the beginning of the API mess they had said "Hey, baconreader is now going to be 10$ a month", I wouldn't have blinked.

Buy a commercial grade non-smart display and it won't have any of that shit.

It's just a big monitor w inputs and no apps. Never connect it to a network.

That said, I have been using Visio my last few personal displays, don't use the built in apps, and run everything through my playstation. Haven't had any issues.

I use this trick all the time to find my car I'm parking garages.

My job falls under IS, and in our monthly townhall we had a brief from the head of technology on our companies AI policy.

Our policy states we can only use approved AI systems, not sure which one but we have an account with one of the big ones. The main thing was, absolutely 100% of everything generated has to be reviewed and approved by a person before being used.

Basically any person using it will be on the hook as if they had created it themselves. They encouraged us to use it and explore where it can help, but made sure we knew we'd be responsible for the results.

Personally, I'd love to play around with it, as I do both graphics and programming as part of my job. The only issue I have is the language is so niche I doubt it'll have enough data to generate anything, and I don't want to feed proprietary code into an unsecured database to train it.

I'm sure in the next two years I'll be using it for something.

My vernacular is a bit dated, not sure if I'm a tankie, pretty sure I'm not a corpo.

Either way, I'm perfectly happy with the community here as it exists, and if it leans toward the geek crowd I'm all for it.

For sure, if people are looking for an alternative, and are interested, I'll recommend it, but I don't think we need to advocate for Lemmy to drive the masses here.

Fall of 1993, I'm in a college dorm trying to pick an IRC handle. Let out a very loud and nasty burp.

My buddy says "Man, that was a weird burp". So that almost became my nick, weirdburp. At the last moment I went with weirdfish as Fish was my nickname in high school.

How did you do this? Log in through the website? I will have to do password recovery as I haven't used the web interface in ages.

Would be very curious what that data set looks like.

I knew those unions and sets would come in handy one day.

I might be able to come up on with a less direct way of telling the story than the original post, but it would take effort.

This is only going to get worse with modern games. Always online to servers that won't exist. Digital only copies you won't be able to download.

Not only should the firmware be made available, I think if you are taking servers offline you should be required to release the source code.

I can still play my N64 and PS3 games with physical copies, but many on PS4 are basically unplayable without the day one patch at least

Ubisoft has made it clear, "Well, if you want to play Assasins Creed, or Farcry, we expect you to play the new ones".

Well, in both cases, the new ones are ass and I want to play the old ones, that I paid for.

As others have said on here, once the product is no longer supported, I feel the rights to that software should pass to the community.

I write code for a living, and when I'm done, the client owns that software. I hand over all the source code as part of close out. If they want me to maintain it, fine. If the want to go with someone else, its theirs to do with as they please.

Yeah, I jumped ship without a plan. After a couple days I remembered I had heard about Lemmy in one of the "What are you going to do on July 1st" posts.

Am so happy with the results that I honestly no longer care what happens to reddit, I prefer this.

Smaller? Sure, but it'll grow. Even if it tops out at current user base I wouldn't see that as a bad thing.

Man, it's a damned good thing my posts and comments never add any value to the conversation.

Seriously though, while I haven't deleted my account yet, in the hope that maybe thing could shift, if/when I do I would like to remove my content.

Is there a known way to remove posts and comments from reddit? I guess they can always just restore from backups. Maybe instead of replacing with "." or gibberish, making a simple copy pasta to replace them with so it isn't so obvious.

I really need to sit down and practice what I preach, but let's be the change we want.

One day soon I'm going to go through my giant list of reddit subs, and recreate them here if they don't exist.

Even if they are mostly empty, at least show there is an interest, and give people a place to post.

As a late 40s skateboard, r/oldskaters was a joy for me, and I'd love to see that and many other communities here.
