Any pronouns. 33.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • I'm wondering about the one calling it Thad being satire, but either way, yes, some people definitely do try to have relationships with AI chatbots.

  • I feel you, and I agree that as a learning tool that's probably how it's being used (whether that's good or bad is a different topic), but the fact that they immediately talk about having to pay a dev makes it sound like someone who isn't trying to learn but trying to make a product.

  • Same here. For folks hesitant to switch because of games, I was too, but it really is at the "just works" stage for 99% of games. Even some big AAA competitive online games like Marvel Rivals work on Linux.

    The irony being if Microsoft allowed Windows 11 on BIOS boards I would've upgraded before the Recall stuff happened and not thought twice. Always a silver lining I guess.

  • You're not being pedantic at all. Just wanted to say. That was a really odd thing to say. If anything it's the opposite of pedantry or trying to understand the pedantry of it.

  • First one to the kitchen

    Jump

  • The outcome is very clear to anyone who has ever played games before, you’re just being very pedantic for pedantic sake.

    Please don't call people pedantic when they're trying to understand confusing speech. That's the opposite of pedantry. Pedantry is focusing on specifics when they aren't really relevant. This person is confused by the specifics.

  • First with the most, to me, means the tie breaker is time. If you are tied for the most be second, you lose. It's a very weird statement though because the important past (with the most) is buried deeper in.

    There are speed runs that do things like this. They try to optimize for most/least of something and fastest to do it wins. They often result in extremely long runs though. An example that comes to mind is a Zelda game where they found that there's a bugged animation that skips a frame and Link moves backwards EVER SO SLOWLY while it happens. So you can open a chest, wait a long time (as in multiple minutes) and Link will go through a door he shouldn't have. Imagine this scenario. You can beat a Mario game in an hour and skip all coins except one, but someone finds a method that takes 30 hours but collects no coins. That one wins because it collected less. I think they call them max% and least% or something.

  • Techrights — GitHub Won't Last Much Longer

  • Yeah, it's weird that folks view this as the turning point. It's not like they had any real independence from Microsoft since they got bought.

  • Life makes the best of what is thrown at it, but I think we should always try to clean up our messes.

  • Systems

    Jump

  • For that to happen it would take an extremely long period of time. Like think about how long humans have been around. We probably wouldn't necessarily be around to see it. So while we're here we should try to fix it.

  • You're very spiteful and for so little reason. Maybe don't do that?

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

    Jump

  • Roughly the same for me. I couldn't use Windows 11 on my old one and certainly wasn't going to put it in my new one. Gaming has been a breeze too, much easier than I was led to believe.

  • Why is open source software assumed to be secure?

    Jump

  • A better question may be, why do you assume closed source software is secure? If nobody can see the code, how can we verify it is safe? Don't they have to be some sort of reverse engineering expert to prove it's safe?

  • What’s the first book you remember loving?

    Jump

  • YESSS. I loved this as a kid and I was so angry it didn't get a movie adaptation. I think a lot about how the ground made everything grow because the world was new. I still think about the "you can't unring the bell" thing.

  • The first book I really enjoyed and got into after high school (as in it wasn't a required reading) was The Hunger Games.
