The administration is negotiating a federal preemption of state AI laws

It’s soooo much fun watching States’ Rights be either the most important American tenet ever or a stumbling block to progress, depending on the issue.

It definitely was.

Besides just the bugs back in the day, the nature of them was so drastically different between systems. I played at launch on PC, and even then I put ~100 hours into it. The bugs on the PC version were more gameplay/story based and less about performance. I think it was easily the most playable version at launch. Some of them were just funny and I remember giggling when a car would fly into the air or an NPC would t-pose. But I was able to progress and the game didn’t run like dogshit.

Console versions depended heavily on which console. The PS4 (non-Pro) version probably just should never have existed. Downright unplayable mess.

But the turnaround really even rivals No Man’s Sky’s turnaround. It helps that the story in Cyberpunk was always pretty solid. I still wish there were more variation between character paths in the early game. That’s really my only remaining gripe.

Ok, no reddit

Placeholder art is nothing new. Using AI to generate it is a legit practice

Funny how placeholder art existed long before AI slop, and it didn’t seem problematic.

Of course there are.

It also shouldn’t be surprising that something like Lemmy, an open-source project originally aimed at tech geeks and still used by a LOT of tech geeks, is filled with Linux users. Linux is an open-source project used by a lot of tech geeks.

It took Arch ~19 years just to get archinstall.

Something tells me there won’t be a script.

It is. Easily one of the best games of all time.

You know how you can put something on eBay for any amount of money? Of course it won’t sell if it’s priced too high, but the price can be set however.

Then people with random items go on eBay. They see their item priced at some exorbitant level and make the jump: “this thing is worth so much money!” Even though it isn’t worth that. It never sold for that. Someone just picked a number.

Starting to feel like this is how valuations work.

This is my only qualm with this. AI slop is not made by “synthetic performers”. We shouldn’t be elevating it with that wording, which sounds like it’s trying to give agency to the slop.

Right?? Lol

They’re named after Dr. Arnold Kegel.

"It’s China, bro, believe me. Everyone actually loves data centers.

Also, just another billion dollars bro, that’s all."

This. The number of people (real people, not internet people) I know who just keep using Chrome or other Google products without care is shocking.

For real though. I had the thought earlier today of how I could reduce my internet usage to text only and try and skip all the bullshit. Might be tough but I’m not seeing another way. At least I’d still be able to access things like Wikipedia.

Between AI killing the idea of “believe what you can see” and ads/tracking being forced on every part of the internet, the end is very, very near.

And it should upset everyone, because the internet was not designed for this. We (the people) ultimately paid to develop what is being taken over by corpos for profit.

brave

I cannot fathom why anyone would be using Brave browser, but it’s not really fair to claim this is a Linux problem.

nvidia

Nvidia are famously anti-Linux/pro-MS and their drivers are notoriously hard to get working on Linux. Again, not a Linux problem per se, and many people simply use AMD instead (because the drivers are in the kernel, no installation needed). YMMV, but if you had games working, you probably had drivers working, so it sounds like this isn’t actually related to your issue.

i had same problem on windows

Again, issue with Brave. Use a better browser.

It’s practical for us hermits, lol

Daihatsu Midget II.

A Japanese kei-truck. It’s ugly but oh-so-functional. I like function over form.

Perhaps the greatest misnomer in computing history.

We’ll be hermits together. All of us. And the hismits and the theymits too.

An article not mentioning another relevant fact in 15k words means nothing about that other relevant fact.
