[…] I really don’t see gamers ever embracing AI.

They’ve spent years training to fight it, so that tracks.

Ubisoft cannot complain when gamers “pirate” their games then.

If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t theft and all that.

Oh, at the time of writing I wasn’t sure if the thread title would display in their notifications with the mention, so I wrote that just in case.

Meant to comment this earlier. On your last point so far as I’m aware there’s currently no way to create a link post (direct URL lemmy link as you say) from Mastodon/microblog to Lemmy. The reason your test post is linking back to the Mastodon instance is because of the image attachment, because you can create image posts between the two.

If you drop the image attachment, while it won’t look as nice, you can get the separate title, link, and body text without it looking too bad. Unfortunately it will lose the visual draw in the process, but that seems to be the workaround for the time being.

The main ones would be @nutomic@lemmy.ml and @dessalines@lemmy.ml, which I just mentioned so should be no need to mention again I think.

Btw for their benefit, adding the context: post with feedback and questions on Lemmy-Mastodon interoperation.

Efforts like this always have me split. On one hand I appreciate them keeping old media going, on the other I wish their efforts would go towards an open source clone/variant instead of propping up a neglected property from a giant company.

Especially when said company could abruptly change with different management and start trying to shut down their activities.

It may not do much depending on the mods/admins, but it never hurts to report and downvote comments or posts like that.

Emphasis on reporting there, as I think sometimes that stuff lingers around because people have made a habit of only downvoting and blocking those doing that regularly. I realize in your examples it’s more likely bias or bigotry respectively, but still.

Report first, then downvote and block. Doing only the latter only makes your experience a little better, the former may help the community.

For those that may only vote and otherwise lurk, there’s a decent amount.

The inability to create multi-communities/reddits (or feeds as Piefed calls them), the absence of post-folding/deduplication for when someone posts the same article to multiple communities (sometimes similar, sometimes distinct), the absence of keyword filtering to automatically filter out stuff from local/all feeds one’s uninterested in, and these are just a few from the top of my head for those that mostly lurk.

In other words, vibe coders are today’s technologically accelerated script kiddie.

That’s arguably worse as the produced scripts may largely work and come with even less demand for understanding than a script kid’s cobbling together of code may have demanded.

Great stuff! Thanks again to everyone working on this!

Updated and appreciate the work!

Noticed a couple things that feel like bugs though: the first collections screen now displays a redundant blank collections folder, which when entered has duplicates of whatever collections you have from the first screen.

Second, when viewing a specific collection of shows, it displays the show folders interspersed between all the episodes of said shows.

Expected display behavior is one’s collection folders, then when a show collection folder is opened, the show folders but not the episodes unless the folder is opened to view them (or a display setting is chosen to view all episodes from all the shows).

Checked server settings to make sure I hadn’t mucked something up and everything on its end looks okay, same as ever.

Huh, that’s cool! Thanks!

p.s. I meant a digital widget/thing, but it’s cool to know this tool exists!

Was thinking the same and you can.

Minimal fucking around needed too, just pkg install imagemagick then navigate filesystem to images ya want to adjust and magick however desired to reduce the file size.

There’s also this:
https://frontpage.fyi/

Not sure which of the two has been around longer, but looks like frontpage is also pretty slow going.

Pretty sure it may be Ex Machina.

Unfortunately this has Denuvo to restrict your use of your purchase. Was hoping after their first title getting criticized for this they may have changed course on that, but appears not.

Would recommend waiting till that’s removed, maybe in a GOG release.

Pretty much, yeah. Buried by marketing and mostly kept that way by it dominating conversations.

Been occasionally posting creative commons music and some fully free games to try to be the change I want to see.

Your ignorance means it was shiny and new to you, and that’s okay!

More like reply to posts without regard for its host community. In other words, context collapse where the community is the main context.

The future of the web may be relearning the browser (and other tools)
