- Comment on Perceiving AI as a 'job killer' negatively influences attitudes towards democracy— When people perceive AI as replacing human labour, trust in democracy and political participation decline 17 hours ago:
Well, when most governments are going all in on AI it’s hard to take democracy seriously 🤷

Looks like a fork of C-Evo, which has been in dev for around as long as freeCiv. Couldn’t find anything about shared assets.

This is getting too analytical for what was intended as a joke
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
Ooft… yeah, fair enough. I don’t get the joke, but I got the sentiment.

At least they’re flattering you 💪

I just keep sending them memes I know they’ll like. I’ve had 3 friends joing various instances so far, because after a while they just go:
Man…where do you get these memes?!

Not me but my dad. He was friends with a guy who was loosely related to someone relatively high up at Google when they first went public. His friend offered him 500 shares at 50¢ a pop. His life right now would have been wildly different.

Just finishing off setting up ElementaryOS on my wife’s early 2015 MacBook Air. It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, but with a custom theme to make it macOS-esque. Seems pretty good so far, but time will tell if she enjoys using it.

- Comment on Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree 2 weeks ago:
I have over 1000 games between steam and gog. I’ve played about ⅔s of them. Average play time is likely 30mins and only because of the dozen or less that I’ve put a few hundred hours into. Take those away and we’re looking at like 10mins each.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 weeks ago:
Remember when the way to beat hard bosses was to either
git gudhand the controller to an older sibling/cousin/friend or input a built in cheat code? - Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 3 weeks ago:
I have a desktop and 2 laptops running Linux and a microslop surface running win10. The surface has one job, run Pioneer Rekordbox so I can analyse tracks for my DJ decks. I can get Rekordbox running on bottles, but no usb pass-through means I can’t format and populate the usb to stick in the decks. Tried in a VM and WinBoat, but it refuses to run on a VM.

- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 5 weeks ago:
Unfortunately the ones used in AI data centers aren’t useful for gaming. So yeah, probably could buy one for ⅓ the price of new, but couldn’t use it for gaming and likely still wouldn’t be able to afford it because of:
NVIDIA H200 (Blackwell architecture) – The latest flagship (late 2023), with upgraded ~141 GB HBM3e and other Hopper improvements. It provides ~50% performance uplift over H100 in many tasks on the same power envelope. Pricing is said to be only modestly above H100. For instance, a 4-GPU H200 SXM board is listed at about $170K (versus $110K for 4×H100) ([2]) ([20]). A single H200 (NVL version) is quoted at around $31,000–32,000 ([21]). NVIDIA’s data center system NVDIMMs for H200 (DGX B200) reflect these prices, though bulk deals may apply.

Don’t use tiktok so I’ll just assume that this is someone snapping spaghetti in half and then Italy rioting.
- Comment on French scientists discover law that predicts how most objects shatter 1 month ago:
Idk, I think it does. Spaghetti isn’t a length, it’s a width and shape, by my understanding anyway…I’m no Pasta-ologist and am almost certainly wrong.
