4Robato@lemmy.worldto Virtual Reality@lemmy.world•VR is Fundamental to Our Augmented Future, Says One of the Industry's Most Successful VR StudiosEnglish2·1 month agoIn general if a technology is not comfortable to use people won’t use it. Even if I’m into VR I don’t use it as much as I would if it would be as easy as to put my regular glasses and VR is expensive to justify if you are a non-gamer honestly.
And I also think, at least in Europe, people is more concerned with privacy. I feel a bit bad of having a meta quest now, even if I think it’s the best headset for its price, but meta is constantly abusing us with targeting sales to specific people only, now spying on android users, adding AI profiles to Instagram, etc. And the headset is the only thing I have from them.
Companies need to respect users a looot more if they want us to put those things more frequently honestly.
4Robato@lemmy.worldto Mastodon@lemmy.ml•Just a reminder that Lemmy/Mastodon bridge works quite well now.1·2 months agoHaha yup not ideal but it’s cool that it has the capabilities. Hopefully in the future this is more polished and useful :)
4Robato@lemmy.worldto Ask Science@lemmy.world•How does the Moon affect the stability of Earth’s axis and its climate?English5·2 months agoBoth bodies tend to slow down its rotation and the moon is getting further away from us. Without the moon there will be no tides and this might have plenty of consequences but it’s not something we should worry soon, same as with the rotation of the Earth.
4Robato@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•What is the dead-simple(est) way to onboard compeltely new people to Lemmy/FeddyEnglish3·2 months agoYup indeed!
I think talking openly about the issues to people and explaining there are better ways that exist is the way to go. If they are in with the idea entering the Fediverse is a no brainer.
For me it’s crazy how many public institutions are on private social medias and not open ones where they can set their own server and rules. It’s also crazy how social norms have been decided by the top private companies in the world, if that’s not a distopian I don’t know what is it.
4Robato@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•What is the dead-simple(est) way to onboard compeltely new people to Lemmy/FeddyEnglish4·2 months agoThere’s no easy or hard way, if they are willing to join they will.
Why are you in Lemmy? Explain your reasons to them and why you decided to join and hopefully they understand and join too, that’s all you can do. Forcing people into the Fediverse won’t make them use it of they don’t believe in it.
Welcome!
Here there’s less people so it’s a bit more quiet usually but decentralized! :)
If you need an android app I recommend Voyager, it has great customization.

4Robato@lemmy.worldto Framework Laptop Community@lemmy.ml•FW12 starts pre-order next week10·3 months agoThe price is still unknown right? :O
Aah I see! I’ll double check next time the dialogue options it might be possible that it just passed me though I think the default should be reversed if that’s the case!
And I was wondering about the addon if it might change my project License. Thanks for the clarification! :)
4Robato@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Steam Desktop and Steam Deck stable update released with various fixes, plus tweaks to the download UI4·3 months agoSteamOS is a Linux distribution so you can install any Linux distribution (ubuntu, fedora, mint, …) and use proton. I would recommend that instead of SteamOS since it might be less stable. Check https://www.protondb.com/ for compatibility with games.
4Robato@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•DeepMind's new AI ("DreamerV3") finds diamonds in Minecraft without being taughtEnglish4·3 months agoIt will play alongside us, maybe future npcs will seem as real as another player. This is both exciting and terrifying haha but sites like .io games where already using AI to make servers seemed there were more players than what really was there.
I think the problem with all of this is not telling the player. If I know I’m playing with bots it’s fine since I can choose but don’t deceive me saying they are humans, that should be (or maybe is?) illegal.
Yeah I was thinking to open source it and I saw the repo said the MIT license but that was because of the pluggin.
Thanks for answer! I’ll move it to the folder and that’s it then :)
4Robato@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon?English5·4 months agoIf you follow a generic hashtag it quickly becomes too much, what I do is follow people and very niche hashtags that I know it won’t bring that much content into the feed but that I’m interested in.
If you really don’t care that much just go to Mastodon and leave bluesky as there is a better decentralized place already. If everyone on bluesky went to Mastodon instead the Fediverse would get a lot more attention and get better too.
Specially seeing you in Lemmy, why did you leave reddit then (I’m assuming you did sorry if it’s not the case)? For me was precisely to not give that much power to a single company and this applies to lots of things not just twitter. Centralizing power is bad and bluesky is exactly that at the end.
I want to support people that really tries to solve this issues and not just people who takes this as an opportunity to be the next Elon Musk, ups I mean twitter.
First of all, as long as it doesn’t replace search I’m fine with more options, I don’t like when a company forces me stuff, that’s it. I just think this is pointing to a future where search disappears and I don’t quite like that.
You might dislike a direct answer but young people don’t. The design of the applications can encourage certain types of behaviors, can spread misinformation and promote racism as we have seen in many social media now.
Things like Instagram and TikTok stress me out by the speed they show content and I could conclude no one will use those but then you see the new generations and how they even listen to music there, just the chorus of a song and go to the next one. This way of consuming information is being promoted by how the apps are designed; it is no coincidence that depression is increasing among young people.
You can say that in principle people can use more responsibly this types of social media, but that’s not the reality when we have algorithms trying to maximize the time we spend on the phone. Also, how do you know that companies don’t add biases to LLMs? Turns out Gorg (the LLM on twitter) they have added to the prompt to not criticize Elon or Trump. That’s the current problems of LLMs is that we don’t have context and even if there is context, if you have to put effort into it people won’t do it. This happens to scientific articles where people never check the sources, imagine with other stuff…
I honestly like LLMs and I think they are fascinating and very useful in a lot of situations! And efforts like Perplexity gives me a bit more faith than google just throwing an LLM that suggests to eat rocks. And while you might see that eating rocks shouldn’t be done, there’s this bias that can be build behind any LLM that affects in a way that will be hard to avoid or notice. Same way current algorithms affects us more than we think they do and polarizes opinions.
I mean will see where this goes, I just want companies to take the matter seriously.
I think it’s simply that getting a direct answer is easier than reading different forums with different views and come up with your idea. That doesn’t mean people want google search to stop searching. We have gemini, if I want to use gemini I can go to gemini. I don’t get why everything has to be AI. We can have multiple tools, not everything out there is a nail.
4Robato@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Scientists discover simpler way to achieve Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance' thanks to AI breakthrough — bringing quantum internet closer to realityEnglish111·4 months agoMixing science and click bait is the worst… You could say gravitational lensing was detected thanks to “AI” or machine learning algorithms that removed the noise and so on but it wasn’t that fancy that time, the important part was the science and now it seems the important part is to put AI in whatever place you can.
I think is better to mark a random one and keep going. I’m sure a lot of people misremembers things anyway and sending the rest of the info might be more important.
