No, corporate greed is ruining everything with AI.
Because you know if they built a super-AI that give them perfect instructions on how to build Earth into a paradise, but it would require they give up 1/4 of their wealth, they’d be reaching for the reset button before it finished printing them out…
On Linux I’ve found it tends to be
1-2GB console onle, or very basic GUI 4GB desktop manager GUI 8GB+ GUI and modern tabbed web browsers (they’re memory hogs). Some games 16GB+ Many games from Steam etc
To me, it kinda depends on how it’s being used. If for example it’s training a contained AI-based system for categorizing email and catching phishers/fraud and SPAM, I’m not so worried
The main issues for me are if:
Aaaand now we know who “Bubba” really is
I wonder if AI seeding would work for this.
Like: come up with an error condition or a specific scenario that doesn’t/can’t work in real life. Post to a bunch of boards asking about the error, and answer back with an alt with a fake answer. You could even make the answer something obviously off like:
Make sure to thank yourself with “hey that worked!” with the original account
After a bit, those answers should get digested and probably show up in searches and AI results, but given that they’re bullshit they’re a good flag for cheaters
I’ve been keeping some money set aside for a newer VR system, specifically one that supports wireless connection to PC. Was considering one of the newer HTC models but Linux support seemed… spotty. In glad I waited and have already wishlisted the Frame
Deacon: “Brother Ted, you’ve messed it up again. I clearly said I wanted a demon with giant muscles!”
Brother Ted: “But that’s what I did. You can clearly see the mussels all around the border!”
Given all the rest of the terrible shit going on, I can. In fact the big surprise is that they declined. Wonder how that might go with the Texas case
Keep in mind Black Friday is also coming, and a lot of vendors like to raise their prices a bit before so they can claim a sale on the day
2025 and the US seems to need “underground railroad 2.0” to protect against such abuse. I hope that the current political nutbags are overthrown we seem some real trials with real consequences.
Yeah, and slots are limited. So if you get a 4x smaller sticks - i.e. 8+8+8+8 for 32Gb, and find you need 64gb+ then you need to pull out the existing sticks in order to make room for 4x16 or 2x32 etc
I sometimes wonder if this was intentional - fanning ridiculous theories such as “space lasers” - in order to make it easier to discredit other/future criticism. The Republicans have been using similar tactics for awhile now,.
I previously played with just Steam and there’s basically one setting to enable - allowing the install of non-native games - and then (for supported games) it’s pretty much the same as Windows. In some cases you need to select the Proton version but generally using “latest” does the trick. There are games that require Proton-GE to work. These were essentially ones where Valve’s Proton version doesn’t have workarounds for various DRM etc (likely because doing so would get them in trouble). On Steam Deck this is done by pretty much going into the local Appstore in “desktop mode” to install. Other distros may vary.
For non-Steam games it’s a bit more of a pain, and can vary widely by game. I’ve installed a ton either just by running the Windows installer from Wine or scripts provided by Lutris.
Honestly if you’ve got the cash and want to try things, grab a Deck and give that a shot. If it works for you, take the leap to Linux on PC. Alternatively on PC, add/resize a disk and go dual-boot. The guided installers on Ubuntu variants generally make this pretty easy.
They’re not “anti-vaccine” they’re “pro-plague”
I kinda feel like Terra developed a bit more over the course of the game, from orphan half-fey under the control of the empire to joining a rebel group while finding herself and discovering her past. In the end she doesn’t get assigned a “love interest” and become mother to a bunch of war-orphans as she gets in touch with her humanity.
Celes comes in a bit more badass to start - as a super-soldier-serum (magic infused) general who turned against the same immoral empire - but a lot of her side story aside from the island is a bit… weird what with the whole Locke Ultros opera thing. It’s like the story writers couldn’t decide whether she was a superhero or damsel in distress.
Locke’s own backstory with the Phoenix quest is neat though.
Yeah that was my first thought. Better learn about corporate greed from a “smart display” then a >$1k appliance (but better not to buy them at all).
Isn’t FTL more of a base (ship) builder than a space dogfight type game?
The underfunding or undercutting of education is a big part of why we’re in the current situation
