You sure it's a linear corelation? Maybe it's double the trauma four times the fun!

pretty much, AI (LLMs specifically) are just fancy statistical models which means that when they ingest data without reasoning behind it (think the many hallucinations of AI our brains manage to catch and filter out) it corrupts the entire training process. The problem is that AI can not distinguish other AI text from human text anymore so it just ingests more and more "garbage" which leads to worse results. There's a reason why progress in the AI models has almost completely stalled compared to when this craze first started: the companies have an increasingly hard time actually improving the models because there is more and more garbage in the training data.

I wouldn't say it's a perfectly fine language but I also don't understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as "==" not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).

Imo the other problem is even if you do decide to buy the manga in today's world nothing guarantees your possession of what you just bought. DRM and "only readable in publisher app" are the norm rather than the exception which creates a clusterfuck of a mosaic if you want to legally read the manga that are available that way. Comparatively MangaDex is a single centralised experience that is relatively complete.

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" (Gabe Newell ~2011)

Same, the only thing talkings to the internet are my reverse proxy and the security cameras (only when viewing them from outside the local network, quite like what reolink does there)

Imo if you're going to be the only one who would use the instance it is not worth it. Instead look for an instance that lines up with your personal interests (maybe check out the db0 instance).

Content federation basically works on a subscription model so you will only see content from other instances if someonen your instance went out of their way to subscribe to it. Smaller instances suffer under this as they might not even see popular communities from other instances.

I go out of my way to exclusively spend money with the one publisher I've found who does not put DRM in their ebooks. I spend lavishly with them because good practices need to be rewarded monetarily in capitalism or they die out.

The rest I pirate.

Robbing a store is illegal. Murdering someone is also illegal, however one of the two is for good reasons punished much more harshly.

At least here in Germany the bypassing of DRM is so legal they don't even try to get you for it. The only thing they ever go after nowadays is distributing and consuming that cracked content (get logless VPN and that problem solves itself). But if you go and rip Netflix movies for your own enjoyment they have no leg to stand on in court unless you distribute it.

I will never stop being confused by this law. Just crossing the street cannot possibly be illegal anywhere. I'm fully convinced the entire thing is an elaborate joke by the americans.

Over here you can even make copies for personal use or sharing with a close group of friends.

I love the unintended consequences of declaring that the internet is to be treated under the same laws as radio broadcasts. Suddenly being allowed to make a recorded copy of anything as long as you yourself create the copy becomes significantly more important.

The 14th gen didn't only have problems with Linux and I still don't trust Intel when they say they "fixed" the CPUs disassembling themselves. Given the money involved I'd definitely advise against 13th and 14th gen Intel in any case, just not worth the potential headache down the road. Either go with older Intel or AMD.

Well I guess we'll find out how many accidental problems I managed to cram into that RFC soon

The key problem why "Runs on SteamDeck" exists is not the raw power of the SteamDeck (or lack thereof) but the compatibility with Linux. Unless someone decides to utterly cripple a handheld for the sake of battery efficiency any game labeled with SteamDeck support will also run on any other handheld running SteamOS.

The problem with the SteamMachines ultimately was the lack of game support. The hardware confusion was just the cherry on top. You could even argue that the lack of supported games back then meant a limited number of customers would be interested which in turn led to companies releasing underpowered hardware. By that logic one can even claim the failure of SteamMachines is entirely down to the piss poor Linux support then.

well .ml is special, most probaboy don't have a problem there but if you do you really do (ask me why the anime community on lemmy.ml is practically dead)

.world is just suffering from success, they regularly have federation troubles with other instances because they are by far the largest one and hence run into scaling troubles. Other than that it's the most reddit like moderation wise also due to being so big. It's courtesy to steer people away from .world simply to prevent the scaling problems from getting worse

A thing can fail for multiple reasons at the same time

that's fine and all but the problem with the debian based SteamOS were the horribly outdated GPU drivers. The runtime was fine but the OS lacked support for bleeding edge hardware (which is somewhat important for a gaming OS)

tbf back then they picked possibly the worst base for a gaming distro, a problem that has been remedied with the new SteamOS

You're right, I must've still been half a sleep or something because I swear when I read that earlier I read the Read Speeds flipped(so Raid 10 read speed as belonging to Raid-Z2 and vice versa)... my bad

Technically yes but (without reading the article) going by what drivers were removed previously any affected device has been incompatible with modern linux kernels for a while so this probably doesn't affect anyone's experience using linux
