Their site works fine without allowing javascript, that way it turns into quite a simple thing too!
- Comment on [TerakJK] Avowed vs The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's previous game - Attention to detail. 1 month ago:
As someone who loves the freedom of games like TES:Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas and the Outer Worlds this was a great way to make me lose interest in Avowed. That friendly NPCs doesn’t react at all when you steal in front of them or when you shoot them in the face sucks big time.
- Comment on Retro games worth picking up on Android? 2 months ago:
I use an 8bitdo SN30 Pro + 8Bitdo Smartphone Clip together with emulators on my phone to enjoy Gameboy, SNES and PSX, I’ve also tried emulating some newer consoles but my phone is a bit weak for that.
There’s a ton of great controllers to turn your phone into a proper gaming device, I chose the 8Bitdo because I can also use it with my computer over Bluetooth.
But if that isn’t a consideration then I would probably go for one of those that has passthrough USB-C Charging so you can charge both controller and phone while playing.Before I got the controller I mostly played Gameboy Pokemon games on my phone.
- Comment on A woman made her AI voice clone say “arse.” Then she got banned. 2 months ago:
Does that mean that you consider the temporary loss of her voice the same harm as if she would’ve lost access permanently?
Do keep in mind I do not believe the banning to be ok either - but I’d rather have a company where the human factor sometimes fails that can properly undo their mistake and apologize than something like Meta where you cannot even get in touch with a human if something gets flagged.
The extreme of a company that never does a mistake would of course be the best but that’s never going to happen.I hope for the self hosted solution that @singletona@lemmy.world mentioned to become reality, both for people like Joyce and because it would be a step towards self hosted voice assistants for those of us that refuse to use cloud based ones.
When I first asked Sophia Noel, a company representative, about the incident, she directed me to the company’s prohibited use policy.
There are rules against threatening child safety, engaging in illegal behavior, providing medical advice, impersonating others, interfering with elections, and more.
But there’s nothing specifically about inappropriate language. I asked Noel about this, and she said that Joyce’s remark was most likely interpreted as a threat.[…]
Joyce doesn’t hold a grudge—and her experience is far from universal.
Jules uses the same technology, but he hasn’t received any warnings about his language—even though a comedy routine he performs using his voice clone contains plenty of curse words, says his wife, Maria.
He opened a recent set by yelling “Fuck you guys!” at the audience—his way of ensuring they don’t give him any pity laughs, he joked.
That comedy set is even promoted on the ElevenLabs website.Blank says language like that used by Joyce is no longer restricted.
“There is no specific swear ban that I know of,” says Noel.
That’s just as well. - Comment on Should I DIY this? (Electrical) 2 months ago:
If you have the materials then ask your brother-in-law if he’ll come give you a hand in return for dinner or something.
If you’re uncertain enough to ask if you should do it on your own you shouldn’t do it on your own when it comes to electrical wiring in the house. - Comment on A woman made her AI voice clone say “arse.” Then she got banned. 2 months ago:
And then she got an apology and got her account reinstated by ElevenLabs.

Civ4 is the one I still play. I like my stacks of doom and could never get into the hexagons and no stacking units of later games.
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 3 months ago:
I just keep the installers on my NAS, together with whatever dlc installers, patches and mods I deem necessary. With the current prices of 12-18tb hdd drives it doesn’t cost much to keep em there.

- Comment on How Intel Got Left Behind in the A.I. Chip Boom [NYT] 5 months ago:
Here’s another one putting the blame on them not investing in OpenAI:
reuters.com/…/how-chip-giant-intel-spurned-openai…At the same time Intel is definitely entering the race, and more competition is always nice:
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also appeared at the Intel event, where he announced that his company will use Intel’s relaunched foundry to make future chips.
In 2022, the US government passed the CHIPS Act promising $52 billion to reinvigorate domestic chipmaking and secure silicon supply lines.
According to a Bloomberg report, Intel is in line to receive $10 billion of that money.Or this piece about creating an open-source software competitor for Nvidia, among other things:
Also importantly, Intel is spearheading a consortium of heavy hitters that are developing open-source software which can interface with all AI chips.
Such software would eliminate Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) biggest competitive advantage: its software, which enables its chips to be easily managed simultaneously.
Intel’s consortium also includes Arm (NASDAQ:ARM), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).
It expects to unveil a finished product by the end of this year.Corporate / Enterprise AI solution with quite a customer/partner list:
[…]customers and partners, including Bharti Airtel, Bosch, CtrlS, IBM, IFF, Landing AI, Ola, NAVER, NielsenIQ, Roboflow and Seekr.
They’re starting to release tools to use Intel ARC for AI tasks, such as AI Playground and IPEX LLM:

After browsing through Subscribed/New I usually check out All/Top 12 hours and All/Active. If I still feel the need to doomscroll I might venture into All/New. My Subscribed list isn’t moving very fast…

It’s even easier to simply visit the community, if you aren’t subscribed you get a big nice block button in the sidebar.
