What? I thought this was a maritime comm.

Curve - Forgotten Sanity

Actually a lot of Curve’s catalog probably fits the bill one way or another, but this is the first one that comes to mind.

Even taking the alleged benefits at face value, and assuming anyone wants it, this still doesn’t make sense. They already promised all their GPUs to AI datacentres. Exactly where are people supposed to get hold of the 5090s required to make this work?

It’ll end up more like console piracy, where you need a specialised build or custom firmware to do it.

I notice you don’t bother to address any of my other points, and boldly declare the time for talking to be over. I suspect that’s because you can’t.

As long as you don’t have to use it, its fine to charge money.

Look at the state of gatcha games. Yeah, sure, you technically -can- access all the content without paying, but in practice it’s not going to happen in a human lifetime. It isn’t that much of a stretch to picture games that are “technically” humanly possible, but so difficult that most people will resort to the AI. Remember the oldschool quarter-eaters in arcades? Same business model but with more steps. I also wouldn’t put it past MS to offer “incentives” in the game store for titles with AI integration. Also see the comment upthread about enshittification.

And if you really don’t understand the difference between a paid subscription service and a family member, I feel sorry for you.

Yeah this is where it’s going. Putting that AI exec in charge of Xbox really paying off for MicroSlop.

Cheats (and big brothers, to an extent, I guess) are free.

So they’ll sell you the games, then rent you an AI model to play the games for you.

I can just not play games on my own, for free.

This is either real or a terrifyingly elaborate hoax.

La Rage by Keny Arkana

I mean, no shit. I thought that was obvious from the … everything about it.

I’m not in a tech field now, but I used to be. I jumped ship when everything started moving to ‘cloud based’ because I don’t trust anything I can’t kick when it breaks.

Debian is … fine. It’s the Toyota Corolla of distros. It’s reliable, it’ll likely do what you need it to do. It’s not fun or exciting or packed with the latest tech, it just does its job with minimum fuss.

6 but they’re all different sizes. One I’ve had since 2016, one was $20 from goodwill, and the other I found on the side of the road.

Recently upgraded to an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus, although I wouldn’t exactly call that ‘cheap’. No complaints so far, but I did replace the firmware with OpenNep4tune straight away so I can’t speak to the bone stock, out-of-box experience. Initial calibration was a little annoying but it auto-levels before every print, works really well with Orca and has its own remote web interface. I’ve only used it with PLA so far, but now that I have it dialled in I haven’t had a failed print that wasn’t my own fault.

Sites like Gnoosic and Music Map. Browsing Soulseek/Nicotine shares. Wikipedia to see who artists have collaborated with or any side projects they’re on.

Seems silly to limit it to one month of the year.

Prusa and Cura are available on flathub and work fine. AFAIK Orca isn’t in the main repo but the flatpak is on their github and works fine for me too.

The split second before the orbital laser hits full power. Because fuck that person in particular.
