Any y’all got any tips for getting worries about the future out of your head?

I’m trying to get better at the whole “If you don’t have anything to add, don’t get involved. If joining in won’t be good for you, don’t join in.” thing. I’m still bad at it, but I at least now know it’s a problem.

I think it’s petty to not play a game just because of the engine it’s written in…

I think I may have to make an exception to that rule for this. :P

(Trans rights are human rights, btw)

Edit: … Wait, hang on. Isn’t the notion of using a game engine at all “woke” in itself? Like, isn’t that the entire thing that started this whole thing?

Ignoring the obvious bait in the title, I think it’s mostly a numbers thing. On Reddit you can follow only communities that you vibe with, and the voting system works to keep low quality posts down. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t the same proportion of people on Reddit that you find objectionable, but they’re stuck in the bowels of downvote hell.

Or maybe you’re just surrounded by people with different views or life experiences and don’t know how to process it. Idk.

So I’ve thought about this a bit more. Games like this flash the screen black with a white square on the target, and then detects whether the lightgun is pointing at white or black. I guess they could take a picture of the TV and combine that with sensor data, put it into an AI and then figure out where on the screen the gun is pointed at? I guess that would count as “AI”?

I’m sure the diehard lightgun fans won’t find it accurate enough though.

… Does anyone know what the AI actually does?

Honestly, the fact that the article writer is shilling an AI product without actually explaining what the AI does is kinda making me doubt their journalistic integrity.

Because people outside are scary and confusing.

Also, I have a fwb and it would be awkward to bring up.

I like to think that people, on the whole, are becoming more accepting of those that are different.

I don’t know how true that is, and there’s certainly loud arseholes out there, but maybe the common non-chronically-online person is more welcoming than 10 years ago.

Just as an fyi: If you want people to read huge blocks of text like this, please break it into paragraphs.

I used to use Super to open the application selector menu thing (similar to the start menu on my system). But I recently tweaked my keyboard shortcuts to add a bunch of ones using Super for application switching and stuff, so rebound it to Super+w.

Pure stubborness and a fear of death.

I managed to get an Oral B one for cheap, and it’s been doing me fine. Maybe there are better brands, maybe there aren’t, but it does the job.

Honestly, what might be better than the toothbrush itself is the timer in it. Forces me to do the full 2 minutes rather than me stopping after 30secs or so.

Ignoring the consent issue, you are going to waste a lot of vaccine. And you can’t measure dosage very well, so may end up over or underdosing people. Not to mention people might have allergies or side effects which you’d need to account for.

It’s why we switched to chemtrails for distributing the gay pathogen.

Raise a child on their own without any exposure to language. Could be interesting to see how their perspective on the world develops.

Lemmy is not your doctor and you shouldn’t take medical advice from us. If it’s possible where you live, try to get in touch with a family planning clinic (or whatever the local name would be). They can get you some sti tests and give better advice than we can. You aren’t the first person to have unprotected sex, and you won’t be the last.

Ehhh… Disagree. It allows the scene to linger on the anxiety, which helps the pacing.

Indeed, it’s something I think about quite a bit. The conclusion I’ve come to involves consent: If all people involved in something fully understand and consent to what is happening, then they should not be “judged” for it.

And yes, I know there are holes and loopholes in that conclusion, but I think it’s nearly impossible to have a logically sound and consistent moral framework.

If you beleive them, as far as I recall, Valve has said that they were working on the Steam Deck before the switch was revealed.

A universal move towards a less judgemental and more empathetic society.

In theory those characters are under copyright, yes. But it’s similar to posting memes or lets plays; they don’t lawyer against it unless they’re assholes. So, avoid Mario, I guess.

However, the training data used by many of these huge models of full of copyrighted material from smaller, poorer creators, which is a serious problem IMO. But they can’t afford to lawyer up against the big megacorps so nobody in the US listens to them.

GenAI is really the rich get richer.
