I heard someone say that the bot problem is fixed now? Anyone can confirm?

• I wonder how durable Valves anti Bot fix is, how intrusive it is and if it has some failure rate (false positives, banning legit players for cheating).

Their facial expressions remind me of the team fortress movie “Emesis Blue”

I agree that shutting down a games servers while leaving a singplayer mode still can be a bad move and will give team fortress 2 as an example.

• people can buy cosmetics in the game, but some may only buy them for their appearance on the multiplayer servers to other players
• 90% of the games depth with strategy comes from competing with other humans
• the bots in the singleplayer mode of the game are quite stupid, especially if you play as a spy

If a game has a mode that works in singleplayer without itnernet connection is it covered by this initiative? Since that would not require further support by the developer?

lmao this is the funniest name I heard for the rainbow Pentagram surrounded by a rainbow Pentagon.

“You can not buy intelligence”

But the product of appearing intelligent is sold: private Education. Also you need to be able to afford the right condition: Not starving to death to appear intelligent, afford food & afford some water without lead contamination (since lead in the water lowers IQ), lead pipes where used for drinking water in poorer areas … Also research and innovation costs lot of upfront capital investment and connections nowadays.

Yep I had a cheap no-name trumpet, it rested for a few years in the basement without proper maintenance. One of its 3 buttons was not press-able any longer ~ rusted shut or something. Meanwhile the Yamaha still worked, well oiled and all. Lesson: always unscrew the buttons of your trumpet & Yamaha Buttons do not rust that fast I guess…

Yamaha also makes Trumpets (the music instrument)

By ceramic dust you mean it is not poisonous? Or are some rare earth materials / heavy metals in there that poison drinking water?

Points that could improve the 1. point “Technology”:

• Make it possible to follow single users. Often I see some high quality content by users posted on communities to get drowned out by low effort posts … Though on average high quality users post to high quality communities. Make it possible to follow/subscribe to a single user, making this place more like twitter without the character limit. A similar point about singular users carrying Lemmys usefulness on the back was made by cabbage@piefed.social
• Introduce hashtags, to make it simpler to follow/ search interests. At the moment I do not see the niche communities I see on reddit thrive but broad categories that are hard to break up: Technology, Politics. While on reddit you would see multiple large active communities/bubbles related to politics with widely differing ideologies. This may be fixed by time and scale though…
• Since every user is tainted by the server they log in to, it is easy to assume the ideology because he joined server lemmy.X … make a way to hide that information, idk if that is technically compatible with lemmys design though …

Since Lemmy is an open source platform it is incredibly easy to build automated bots to spam it. I suggest looking for quality user Profiles to follow, and see what communities they posted on to find high quality communities.

Emperor “Hong”. I could not imagine a better name for someone making this argument.

Old shredded hard drives are also produced by data centers? But I guess these locals want to see some profit from their neighboring data center.

yep sometimes the simple things, like building a house in minecraft, are the cool ones :) I am the kind of player to build the dirt house, or just build a underground base in some cave I started digging for iron/coal.

Should automation with Robots and Mashines not beat slave labor in the long term since the industrial revolution started? … Or the scary part is combining slavery with automation for an even cheaper system than just automation in a free society?

Also:

• Our product might be wrong sometimes, in those critical moments when the system encounters a new unseen problem not in its training dataset.
• Our system might output a lot of junk data by design or accident robbing your clients time

But does this not centalize power to the team who develop the Wahl-OMat? They could scew the results in multiple ways:

• Imagine they put in a bias to automatically substract some “overlapping percentage” points of your favorite party
• Overvaluing certain question topics while ignoring other topics. Topics enter and leave public discourse over time, Wahl-OMat needs to adjust accordingly.

There should be multiple Wahl-OMat services to choose from imo…

I agree that Frieren villains are unique, to emphasize some other points:

• Demons are depicted as this alien species that works on a completely different set of rules: Their fake emotions seem to have evolved genetically into them and they are incapable of changing their nature. They are to humans what Wolfs are to Sheep – Alpha Predators.
  • Also demon-kinds social hierarchy being based on Magical power level is interesting completely going against Frieren hiding her power level.

But in a way Demon mirror Frieren as well, as she herself mentally diverged from humanity over 1000s of years.

The villains in Frieren are quite similar to Dragonball villains who are non human mos of the time. During combat they find out about their similarity to the heroes.

I also had the same experience; sometimes the flatpak package is the most useful one, since its newer Version now supports feature X by default.

Meta: This is a great meme in text form. This shows memes do not always have to include images.

lmao my etc/nixos/configuration.nix file is a mess, I have a huge list of programs and programming languages I use in packages = with pkgs; [ .... no flakes no modules… so the meme does not check out for me… but at least I got i3-window manager working using the wiki
