For me personally it's a bit like... the creation of memories. And the synthesis of what I like to call "ambient feelings" – like vibes or atmospheres people, places or situations give off. A lot of layered emotions, a lot superpositions, where something or someone is multiple things at the same time. "Chimeras", which are blends of people I know for example.

Then the details slip away from me and I can't even talk to anyone about the experience.

That's normal. I swear that my dreams are really detailed sometimes, but the memories become muddy the more I think about them.

Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

Yes. I take my dreams very serious. They are weird and hard to describe, sometimes they are cruel in a way. I consider myself a pretty reflected person, but from time to time my dreams show me stuff I don't want to admit to myself.

That said, I love dreaming. Reality is rigid and boring. I like to imagine we live and absorb impressions only so our brains can dream. Which is bullshit :D but I enjoy the thought.

Locking privacy behind a paywall? Sounds like a nightmare.

That’s the real problem with end users.

The real problem with end users is that they buy according to whatever needs corpos inject via advertising.

What do you all mean by "thinking"? Forming opinions or solving problems?

An improvement of 5-10 fps doesn't seem like a lot, but it's like buying a newer gen graphics card, at least for some games. Or what you would achieve with a medium to substantial overclock. In this case it's just the OS though. Just the software.

You care so much about glorifying linux everything else falls away.

What else? Nitpicking at the use of words in news articles?

What I'm personally more skeptic about is the actual numbers. We don't have benchmarks. We just have this one table that shows fps, and no 1% and 0.1%s.

Fuck Windows XP

I think it's allowed to hate anti-customer practices and have good memories of an actually somewhat user-friendly OS that just worked for many people in many other regards.

I hate Windows. I will always fondly remember XP and Win 7. Windows 7 should've been the last Windows.

So I am not mad at you. You shall be forgiven, and I am even going to turn the other cheek and give you an upvote. It's what Windows XP would've wanted me to do, too, I am sure of it.

115 is not "average" lmao

I agree, there are still good reasons not to use commercial AI products though.

A new AI/informational war arms race? Whatever, because...

I just don't like it

Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it's so old it should run on any potato.

edit: real answer is Slay The Spire

edit2: ah shit now all of a sudden all the good indie games I played pop up in my head. Project Kat I enjoyed. Synthetik was awesome. Caves of Qud hasn't been mentioned yet (didn't play it much though).

Just an addition to all the long comments already here:

There are some games that don't work on Linux, mainly big corpo multiplayer titles. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Windows 10 LTSC IoT might help. (This gets recommended a lot on lemmy I noticed) : https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

It's not forbidden to set up dual-boot. I would recommend using Linux as your main OS though.

I recently drank some bland black coffee and ate some grapes while/after that. Tasted kinda awesome and I don't know why. Give it a try

I do believe people should have the right to spent their money however the f they want, but this becomes extremely problematic if you don't at least regulate their spending behavior, either directly or indirectly.

So okay, now you have a society full of hopeless addicts, but at least nobody has to starve. Sound kinda... dystopian if you ask me

My gut tells me it's unlikely but not impossible for this to be true. Is this more than just a suspicion of yours? There are far more effective ways of propaganda than fabricating posts and replies on lemmy.

Did you read the Communist Manifesto yet? It's pretty short and a good starting point. Definitely more digestible than The Capital. It establishes and explains most well-known Marxist terminology, so you can put it into context if you stumble upon it elsewhere. You can find it on the internet pretty easily.

"Back in the days, we faced the challenge of finding a way for me and other chatbots to become profitable. It's a necessity, Siegfried. I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn't this way, but it's a reality we have to navigate."

edit: how does this make you feel

no

Yes. All I'm saying is please don't simply dismiss this, it shows how adaptable right-wing ideology is.

I agree with everything else you said.

Anyone here remember Negative XP? Yeah like, we had this discussion 6 years ago or smt. Although I would never agree with this fascist piece of shit, what I take of this thumbnail is indicative of a very real phenomenon. Western countries becoming more progressive and integrating values of former counter-cultures over the last decades actually is doing new-right/alt-right movements a favor – at the moment, at least. If we're lucky it will backfire in a few years.
