Thats the neat part, I dont. I simply continue the routine of putting food in my face and if anything bad happens… Try and deal with it.
Due to my job, if about half of the fortold “end-timed” occure, its not an issUe not an issME. Ill probably be at ground-zero of what ever it is, or atleast down the block from it…
Have fun in the appocalypse. If its zombies, I get to do that one.
Avoiding slopification seems to be the main priority, and you would have to have the AI be incorporated into a game it would have to do something that AI is already passable at, otherwise it wont pass that barrier and will get shunned like the rest of the slop.
For example, you could have an LLM act as a character or have a neural net incorporated into the game-ai like how tool assisted DOTA2 competitions work.
I see three main problems, first is that you would need the hardware to run it locally, which may be a hard sell to some people depending on what the game it is, only online expirenes should endebt themselves to AWS, if its single player, its going to lose a ton of sales there. Two, its really hard to convince audiences electrons have feelings, remember Final Fantasy (2001)? Thats what happened last time someone tried to personify a digital construct, and well… It went swimmingly (Microsofts Tay, does not count). Lastly, impact, would a narrative focused title have the same impact of an AI wrote the script? How would you feel after playing through a title like “Papers, please” and when the credits roll it says “script generated by CoPilot”? I feel like it would ring hollow, the feelings would be cheapened by it…
I would be interested to see how this plays out, but im content to support the titles and studios that do things the traditional way.
Im very thankful that it appears this chapter of consumerist history is over. Last entry on Black Friday Death Count was from 2021 and I was going past my big local mall and I saw tons of parking. In past years that place was a zoo, but today, slightly more crowded than normal, but nothing dangerous.
It is the most unrealistic, dispite [gestures broadly to everything] because.
President Dwayn Elezondo Mtn. Dew Herbert Comacho has a problem.
They find the most qualified person to solve it, even though they are not sure 😉
They (reluctantly) listen to his advice.
Finally, once the day is saved, President Comacho does not take credit for it.
That is the most unrealistic part of the film.
No one ever truely grows up, some people are just better at hiding it.
A bit of internet history, account age was a measure of clout on Slashdot.org. Your account ID was posted as part of your replies, so the lower the number, the longer you have been on the site.
Mine personally is in the 1.3M range, and I still read the site and I still see users posting on accounts as low as 500k ID, those have been around since the late 90s.
The site is just a news agrigator at this point with a comment section full of boomers and greybeards (sys admins that probably should consider retiring), but its been my home page for ~20 years and I have no intention of changing that.
Gross…
Hey Canonical, hows that linux phone OS coming along?
Shhh, we do not speak of such places. We do not wish for people to know their names and seek such dark recesses.
Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith.
You left out the funniest part about it being internet famous.
Tourist goblins kept stealing the sign!
Eh, dont let it get to you. This horse will serve you well and it affords you room to grow. You will hear it a lot on lemmy, but get a second SSD and give linux a go. I game on Pop_OS and its the closest thing to “It just works” ive seen out of the community (debian for most everything else… because home lab).
Plus, you put the effort into researching the model and its parts. In 6-7 years time, look into building the next one, further your learning and figure out what each component does and why a the manufacturer picked what they did.
If you need help with things/troubleshooting, the Lemmy community is here to help. Welcome to the club!
Dell has always had good warranties on parts. Its half the reason Alienware was held in such high regard for so long after they were aquired in the early 2ks. Even though enthusiests will scoff at the prebuild, if you dont intend the PC itself to be the project, you did good.
I had to check the acurssed interwebs to find out that you are refering to 2026-05-15 or 2026-05-16
But of our party had a druid (Or an annual publication written by and for druids), then they would have just been able to tell us.
Ha [Internet high five], there is a thing about EvE online players and being opinionated nerds about VOIP solutions.
Sounds perfect, my TS3 instance was running on a 10+ year old Dell Optiplex until a while ago when I moved it to a VM.
You seem to have everything covered, VOIP services are not that heavy, and its great having a residence on the internet where your nerds can drop in and out of. The main issue is getting people off Discord or understanding that old programs are just as if not more functional. (Plus, the whole “If TeH PrOdUcT is Fr33, UR da PrOduCt” thing, but im preaching to the choir here)
Some expirence on some self-hosted VOIP solutions from my EvE online days and I self-host a Teamspeak instance (my nerds like it, get off my lawn).
Mumble in terms of its UI and user expirence, the worst of the major VOIP projects (looks very 2008), however it is by far the best in terms of server stability, plugin compatibility and security. To quote my old EvE admin “Mumble will take the team two weeks to set up correctly, and drive them mad, but once thats done they will not need to touch the config again”. Plus it not requiring a license allows large orgs to use it freely. Ever have a need 2.5k+ VOIP users all trying to talk over eachother? Mumble is the only free application that will handle that without issue.
Teamspeak3 is what I run, and for small communities its perfect. TS5 exists, and the devs keep trying to make “We have Discord at home” and its just a UI fork, they all run the same server backend. As for features, TS3 has the best of ease of set up and granular permissions with API tools to allow for remote or automated managment. For user counts, anything beyond that of a small guild in any game will require a license, they are cheap (I just renewed my 30$ a year license and didnt have to reboot). Its drawbacks are that it struggles after several hundred users (its heavier on server hardware than mumble is) and user accounts with permissions can break the server. Fortunatly settings are managed by a local database so backups of server state and files are easy.
I remember Ventrilo existing, thats about it.
Hardware wise, a new pi should be fine, older models might have issues based on expected user load. Network load is not significant for normal hobbiest user counts, security is not any different than normal homelab internet services.
Let me know if there is anything I can help with.
I would imagine it has, but… ATC training takes a few years and the ones who have stuck it out have been in those roles a long time. There is a cohort of staff who all started and will leave the service at around the same time. I would imagine they are seinor staff or managers by now in their careers, but that much institutional knowlege leaving at the same time would be just as damaging.
Its an oldere meme sir, but it checks out.
Im at step 2 of 3, and feel about the same. Do I regret what I did when I was younger, somewhat, it was just cringe until ~27… Would I slap the shit out of my younger unmotivated ass, absolutely.
There have been UBI trial runs in the EU, they usually dont. Once peoples needs are met, they tend to want to want to continue doing things as they are. If they wern’t buying fancy cars, UBI isnt going to change that, and if a car is a need for that individual, then the system is working as intended.
Plus, the thing every counter argument to UBI seems to forget is that not everyone will be responsible with the funds or onboard with the program. The system will need to have to buffer for abuse and poor habbits, but unlike now, an unwillingnes/inability to participate in the workforce does not mean poverty. Plus a well designed system will help people use it effectivly and get them the help they need (see the current failures of the US mental health system).
