Six paragraphs that say absolutely nothing but “game devs realize games should be fun, decide to make their game fun”.

Truly groundbreaking stuff. 😐

While the content of this article may be valid, I couldn’t help but scoff when he mentions his test running Meet through Brave… Pot, meet kettle.

PipMan

According to who?

Also, what’s the difference? If I down vote you to bury your comment for being irrelevant, poorly worded, bad faith, etc. or down vote you because I don’t like your comment, the result is the same.

It was never taken.

It’s AI…

Fuck that. Add bigotry filters to appease the bigots? No offense, but that’s a terrible idea. These people need to get out of their ignorant bubbles, not have more tools to stay in them.

It’s just as easy for you to skip reading their rants about a game as it is for them to not play the game in the first place.

This is my experience to a T. Picked Bazzite for gaming. It just works. Anyone worried about not being able to do the things you think you need Windows for need not worry. You can do all of that and more.

I found Florisboard’s swipe dictionary to be… Weird. Like making up words or acronyms, or just suggesting words no one would ever use.

But, Heliboard lets you import swipe dictionaries, so you can get Gboard’s without using Gboard.

Unironically, the Google Pixel is ironically one of the best phones you can get to de-Google your smartphone experience. For now.

What the fuck

Use the color toggles. You can hold right click to get the list, then just use orange for one group, pink for another, etc.

Nice game. Reminds me of Boson X

Yet a major factor for people being hesitant to switch is how their gaming experience will differ, so seeing differences might be useful.

Use Steam.

Download Battle.net Launcher.

Add it as non steam game.

Run it and install like normal.

Do not sign in. Close it.

In a terminal, type this: find ~ -name Battle.net

Look for a line like: /home/_you/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compdata/#############/pfx/drive_c/…

Those ###s are Battle.net’s steam ID on your system.

Back on Steam, right-click Battle.net and click Properties.

Change the Target line to: “/home/_you/.steam/steam/steamapps/compdata/~your numbers~/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net Launcher.exe”

Set Compatibility to Proton 10 beta.

Now launch Battle.net and install WoW.

Disregard ethics for a second. I would argue it is much more unethical to use AI generated art in a game than it would be to use AI generated code. Here’s why:

AI art steals the role of artists because it uses algorithms to produce a product that has never existed before, like an artist does with colors instead of math.

AI code isn’t great. That’s why so many experienced coders are being hired to come fix the nightmare code that companies used AI to generate after firing all their coders. But that’s because AI only knows how to put together code that has already existed, which means all an AI is really doing is interpreting your input and producing an output - just like you would do if you thought of what you wanted your code to do, spent countless hours pouring through search results, forums, textbooks, etc., slapping some shit together, and running it through a validator. Most applications have validators built into the workspace, meaning if you write something that doesn’t work or make sense, it’s going to tell you (and probably even tell you how to fix it). So, just think of AI as a slightly smarter validator. You write some really bad code (what you want the code to do in English) and the validator goes “this English code makes no sense, here’s what it should look like.”

There’s no guarantee the “corrections” it makes will actually work, fit into the code you already have, be organized in the most efficient way, or be the best way to handle that particular task. But, a huge chunk of a coder’s time is thinking about things like that anyway. So let the AI fix your English code into whatever language you’re actually trying to speak, and you deal with the other half: is this how I want it to work?

But that’s just me. 🤷🏻

Edit: If after all that you’re still not feeling very ethical, then show a coder your product and see if they’ll use their brain’s LLM to validate better code.

Try being nicer.

lol who?

Can you give some examples of shows that you feel knowingly do this, other than Ancient Aliens or Ghost Hunters?

You have autonomy? Easy solution: Don’t use it.
