Retroarch for example comes with a dot-starting folder where data is stored.

Can't check now, but if there aren't forks named like BookTale and BookStory, I'll riot.

Jokes aside, if the license he used allows forking, dude's tripping, and could even get sued depending on the country for false accusation of crime.

And ah, Discord, great for nuking inconvenient chats. Imagine if it had happened over at a public forum so people's reactions could be backed up.

And dunno where I'd draw the line, but 20k lines imo is a bit past reasonable. How would anyone audit that many in a timely manner? But with the "dev" doing that daily, that'd be hard to even pretend.

If it's a Carbon Engine release, hopefully the ROMs are included. Still annoyed the second Carbon Engine Shantae didn't come with a ROM.

From one side, LLMs have a tendency of agreeing with the user so good to point that out.

From another side, LLMs have a tendency of agreeing with the user so it can easily be exploited for making the data the researcher wants.

From yet another side, it doesn't seem to be lobbying to add laws specifically for it, which is good as bloating laws is a problem by itself.

But from a final side, this type of news, specially for the headline readers, could be the setting up to push for such laws.

I've seen ponderations about award events being used for passing messages/agendas/politics. Wonder if HORSES getting the award was purely on merit, or if it was also nominated in protest against Valve.

Having read the article, some points from the dev make sense, but also he acted like a princess by the end, so a bit of a messy situation.

~~the sun~~

Jokes aside, most of what I'd use in a baremetal installation, I can also do in a VM. The few things that don't work revolve lack of proper hardware acceleration for XP/Vista games, of which I have some.

Mint Xfce on my 2015 laptop compared to its previous system was the difference between usable and waiting 10 minutes for it to even boot, and things like gaming, VMs, comically large spreadsheets (surprisingly the memory hog), etc., were an eternal challenge on it. On my current laptop, I have the luxury of picking the systems by aesthetics and non-optimization functions instead. And to compare, I've run even the same updates on the two laptops, as the older one still works.

Dunno this paradox theory, but the impression I get is that when you're part of the process, it's harder to notice changes. But if putting the two devices side by side, trying to run the same systems, programs, etc., the difference is glaring. And from tests I did, if the software doesn't work on either of the devices, slapping a VM on the newer one to test older programs still tells quite a lot.

Didn't mean the first part as something negative. Being usually the one that in my social circles that knows the nicher stuff, algorithms help me a bunch to find new things as asking around can be a quest.

And for clarity, to me the algorithms would be a type of middleman, whose job is to better distribute the nicher stuff, and thus why I interpreted your script as one (sorry if I got it wrong though).

But also, if I'm misinterpreting, feel free to ignore the weight idea if it leads the script to the wrong direction, as the idea is based on my definition of algorithm from above.

edit: engrish

So kinda like an algorithm but open. Can't check yours in depth now, but having done local algorithms before, it's great for transparency and predictability, so congrats on the idea. 👌

Also from what I could skim on the code, I didn't notice anything on the sort, so I wonder if there's weights for this chain of trust in the code, like someone followed both by someone I follow and someone I blocked (iirc Peertube allows blocking? Pls correct me if I'm wrong) would be less relevant to the script.

Adding to that, about the "stealth merge", couldn't it be just the rollback? Don't change what works, as the saying goes.

And expanding on the meeting or post mortem idea, take this time not to fix the code, but to make an essay showing what broke, how it broke, and how it could be avoided in the future. Also preferably not letting your tone getting acid or those hearing from the company could instinctively refuse to listen to you even if your points are solid.

Also about Moltbook, paraphrasing an older comment of mine, social medias run by AIs are like Computer vs Computer battles in PS2 games - it's fun to watch only for first one or two battles.

Had forgotten Moltbook was a thing. Or maybe it was something else with the proposal of "social media for AIs; humans optional".

Reminds me of some news about Meta pushing LLMs in the comments of Facebook, and also about the zombie profiles where those from dead people would keep posting through LLM mimicry as if the person was alive. I wonder if Meta is hellbent on making the dead internet theory real.

Looking also at the 2024 data, sounds more like fluctuation. Would need more data to see by those if it's a tendency.

The article's UI's... certainly something.

But on money the citizen doesn't control, the Brazilian Workers' Party government's been trying to shoehorn its own take on it, DREX, since they got back in power of the Executive. Also the president's been quite on that for a while, but for some ~2 years, he'd insist on a global currency too. Wonder if the two were meant to cross at some point.

Glad I take notes, I guess. Could never remember so much stuff without.

Also wonder if I should count Crystal Castles twice, since the arcade and Atari 2026 feel pretty different from each other.

it's just the tip

Portugal's current government is pretty unstable in these past few years from what I check every now and then, so I wonder if they're trying to make it amid the confusion of political shift, "as the lights are turning off" as a local saying goes, so no one notices as dust settles.

For those that use WordPress, maybe people can (politely) poke the site owner to enable ActivityPub integration? Might help with traffic at least.

Iirc, isn't PieFed made from scratch though? If anything, both are inspired by Reddit, so saying it's a fork of Lemmy wouldn't be a form of "appropriation"? (is that the word?)
