Oh no worries, i am technical and autistic enough to setup systems that will serve my actual needs, regardless of economic/industry expectations.

Lutrius is great but i prefer Heroic game launcher, it can do the same but does also provides convenient acces to gog, epic and amazon licenses. I am only storing backup copies of games if i actually find it worth it to keep them, and i acquired a lot of mediocre titles over the years.

I also do still do use steam with little hate towards it there own implementation of proton is hard to beat in its reliance. I have yet to find a single game within my steam library that fails to work properly on arch.

Doesn’t stop me from working on my own alternative local game server parallel to it, Mhehehehe

Regardless i still feel like i should just be able to legally download some standalone offline installer from a website for later use. Especially for older games that used to have physical copies. whether or not my system can run that installer as it is, is morally irrelevant.

Yes.

What if i want to play the original portal game on a pc that cannot have internet? Steam does not allow me to download a straight installer, its a license with a long list of acceptable and non acceptable uses.

Don’t get me wrong i love valve and what they have done for gaming as a concept, as a linux i would not Be able to game as i do if it was not for proton.

But if i purchase a game i demand to own my copy.

I actually have a database where i keep pirate and cracked copies of games i own legit licenses because i refuse to have my rights limited simply because of the possibility of a victimless crime where checks note some big corp gets slightly less profit.

All games should be available standalone.

And while, am speaking my software opinions

If i buy a game license on one system it should cover that game all other platforms and systems. No more buying the same game twice just to play on different hardware. (This makes less sense if its a dedicated copy and not a license though)

All software from hardware that is no longer receiving support must be open sourced, i am looking at you near mint first gen ipad mini. I die before you end on a landfill in such good state.

Third party proprietary game launchers.

For real most devs are just happy you enjoy their work.

The only ones losing money are shareholders and they barely lose enough to make a trickle of a dent.

Thank you for this. I consider myself technical and those words felt like a punch in the gut.

I don’t like copyright laws, it feels like a very out of date and detrimental system in the online world….

That said, The licensing of outputs from a new model presumably carrying more weight while the same sites are littered with copyright trained models is absurdly ironic.

Either these should be equally protected or equally unprotected. I hope most people can agree on that.

I updated the kernel and for some reason my ubuntu becomes unable to find how to use the network.

After going in circles it was much easier to just go back to the previous kernel.

Huh, thats weird. Your chatgpt output looks just like a google result page.

Getting DOS within Linux would be pretty interesting to play with and may get my dad a step closer to abandon windows.

Interesting, great to hear that it does work for those who want it.

Still wont touch bedrock with it with a 10m pole.

Just a fyi. Java edition works just as well under windows, linux and macos.

The newer bedrock edition works only on windows and consoles.

Kids where easier to exploit with a game store then linux users who remember the old days i guess.

Should have gone with something like “HaxorMaster1447”

I find it a very confusing term aswell because what does it even define? I always arrive on it being a synonymous to neurotypical outside the autistic context.

I"ve been wondering if there is a way to select a folder as input. That way i could automate all kinds of image edits like resizing or up scaling.

If this is possible you might be able to select the output folder as input.

Its part of this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwu

Now you can follow the rabbithole further but that is a choice you have to make.

This is really cool and a big improvement but i do see an issue remaining which is how cultures can change over time. Traditional Japanese versus Otaku for an easy contrasting example.

In modern times there are people in many shades of colors living near me, all of which i would consider as much part of my culture as i myself but older generation do talk about how back in the day someone with a different color was like seeing a unicorn. If i go back hundreds of years ago my own ancestors looked differently enough that they would likely consider me an outside.

I suppose the best way to solve is is to label training data on both culture and time. But there will always be people in disagreement of what is and what does not represent their modern culture. There are also quite a number of foods and other things that i would consider part of out modern culture that are actually parts of some other cultures older heritage.

Its harder to argue about historical culture but training to much on that could have a side-effects of increased stigmatization and bias, It could create a fake link where poc are placed more often in context of more primitive society, poorer clothes and cultural real but nowadays outdated practices.

I understand that object insertion is only possible because of the metal ball light probe but they should shine more light on that particular feature as it could potentially be huge and is much easier to understand then we create metal balls in your generation.

I very much appreciate the non click bait title though its just really confusing as for once it could have been a valid clickbait looking but not actual clickbait title.

We Evolve!

There something really satisfying about witnessing a community starting to talk about serious a issue and days later see things already improved.

Lemmy is now the internet, glory to all volunteer devs. Lets make it the best place we possibly can!

Does this need to connect to openai or does it function fully independently? Its for offline use.
