  I didn’t like it. I got it on sale and tried it. I just have muscle memory for Xbox style controllers and that didn’t give me any advantages that made it worth retraining.

  The problem with making a Minecraft game is that people who like Minecraft will be upset that it’s not like Minecraft and people who don’t like mine craft will be upset that it’s like Minecraft. Both groups will be excited about it until it’s released.

  Unless you use Linux, your OS knows a ton about you. On top of that, with root access to your computer they can do whatever they want and if their system gets hacked you become a member of a bot farm or crypto mine.

  It doesn’t, installing the game does. The terms of service just let you know that you are willfully infecting your computer with spyware.

  Be warned, these games have turned into literal spyware. Installing them gives 2K/Gearbox root access to your computer and collects a ridiculous amount of info.

  Love a good Dendrogaster post

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that price at full retail price or cost of parts. Either way, sounds like someone misjudged the market by a lot and needs to be ejected from their CEO role.

  Weekly full backup, nightly incremental

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kroger’s Surveillance Pricing Harms Consumers and Raises Prices, With or Without Facial Recognition.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This week in “No shit, thats what its designed to do” Kroger invacive price cameras help Kroger raise prices across the board by seeing what consumers are willing to accept before they go somewhere else.

  yeah, dont buy digital. If its not available as a physical product steal it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developers keep Spotify Car Thing alive with custom firmware⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They sell for more now than they did new. Average around $200 on eBay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, not cut and dry at all. OPs article didn’t have the chat logs. Looks like it told him not to commit but did demand loyalty. He changed his wording from “I want a painless death” to “I want to come home to you” to get it to say what he wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think this is the fault of the AI yet. Unless the chat logs are released and it literally tries to get him to commit. What it sounds like is a kid who needed someone to talk to and didn’t get it from those around him.

  That said, it would be good if cAI monitored for suicidal ideation though. Most of these AI companies are pretty hands off with their AI and what is said.

  That’s just planting trees with extra steps.
