Ultimately that’s what most agenic “AI” is doing these days. Literally just hitting the top few results of Google or Bing and plopping it into the text context.

In other words, if web search is returning very bad results then the LLM will too, if that web search option is enabled. You have to be careful.

What I meant is that simply excluding Mastercard and Visa would turn away tons of sales and donations, even if they worked with every other payment processor on the planet at once.

They… could. But it would hurt, maybe even kill Itch.

Because they would basically die off without the credit card processors, I assume.

Are they?

They crushed other storefronts pretty good. They have a loyal following.

Maybe they won’t go full GFWL, but I fear they could enshittify substantially with the critical mass they have now.

It does make Trump’s life more miserable if it becomes a long runner. This is like the one scandal that hasn’t been a net positive so far, partially because of he’s at the top of the world atm, but also because it was such MAGA red meat. And it’s really conspicous that he didn’t lean into it, like he does with every other controversy; he’s reacting like a normal politician caught in the cookie jar.

Reality doesn’t matter, no, but it is eating into his.

open framework untouchable by publishers or game platforms

Splitting hairs here, but Steam is a pseudo monopoly at this point. Sure, one can not publish a game there, but that’s hard. And on multi-store releases, I don’t think publishers are allowed to undercut it on other platforms.

Which is fine since Steam is behaving and working well…

For now.

Also, that’s an remarkably scathing interview for current employees. No way they could do that without a union.

Also also, the game they inexplicably canned well into development sounds awesome: https://www.trueachievements.com/news/canceled-xbox-mmo-project-blackbird

Traversal was a core aspect of the game, with Exodus offering a vertical playground for players to explore, equipping players with a grappling hook, and, according to our source, you’d have been able to “climb and wall-run on any surface.” The team wanted movement to feel natural and fun, similar to that found in games like Spider-Man and the driving in GTA.

Interestingly, our source tells us that ZeniMax had been toying with ideas for multiplayer side content away from the combat that would put the traversal system to good use, included races and obstacle courses. One mode the team had been toying with was like a blend of basketball and Quidditch. Our source says, “There was a ball to dunk into a ring, and you could pass or shoot,” offering an experience that felt a little like Titanfall 2, although not as fast.

Maybe it was a little too anti-corpo for Microsoft?

Sorry to be nitpicky, but this should be linked instead of the referring article.

Oh I missed that, sorry. What errors, specifically? Maybe something I can help troubleshoot?

Either way, Manjaro (or EndeavorOS) would likely give you very similar issues, so I suppose my vote is still openSUSE.

CachyOS!

It’s like Manjaro but better, and highly KDE focused. TBH… don’t use Manjaro, SUSE is much better than that.

It’s Bolin/Mako’s Lower Ring family! And, clockwise, Jang Hui fishing folks and Republic City homeless.

Folks like this (along with some notably badass women) are the bread and butter of the shows, though. I don’t ever remember hitching to think ‘huh that farmer lady looks like a skimpy model’

This is a trope in all middle ages media I’ve seen. I’ve been watching someone play KCD2, and it’s not as bad… but still there and jarring.

The only place where I can think of where it seems more fair is, ironically, some animation? Barring anime’s sexism… problems, there’s less incentive for that, heh. I liked Avatar’s peasants:

KCD2’s not as bad, but has some of this too.

Nuance. On Lemmy?

(But yes I agree).

Kids everywhere making deepfakes.

Well, that law aged like milk.

The pinned post is literally:

Wednesday LIVE: Desperate Deep State/MSM Pushes “Epstein Hoax” & “MAGA Divorce” In Attempt To Fracture & Bring Down The Trump Administration! Tune In NOW For Latest Developments As Alex Jones Covers This & Other Key Issues!

Scrolling down, I see clips of him being… combatively apologist. The tone being “Trump is an idiot for doing this, instead of that.”

Also, thank the heavens xcancel is still running from whatever black magic backend they’ve figure out.

I’m sorry, but this is Rawstory writing what people wanna hear for clickbait. Here’s their clip:

That is not repudiation. It’s wobbling on a single tweet, even with their selective cut.

Honestly I wish this source was softbanned from /c/news. Like it is from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#The_Raw_Story

Because third panel wants to live in their house not take over their country

Again. I will remember this when the US more seriously talks up ‘taking over’ Canada; but not living in their house. Not a crisis of imperialist aggression, by that argument, unless you wish to clarify?

…Okay.

First of, of course I would. What would make you think I wouldn’t? I’m upset with how many civilians are dying now. And I’m upset with genocides elsewhere.

Second. How does that stop this meme from applying to Russia/Ukraine?

Nor that Russia was doing settler colonialism.

Ah. It’s just a good old annexation. That’s totally fine.

I’ll remember that when my stupid country makes an attempt to annex Canada… Which is not invading their home, because it’s not settler colonialism?
