- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 1 day ago:
For DS/2DS/3DS specifically, there is no emulation hardware that has resistive touchscreen, which I think is superior to capacitive for many games. For 3DS, the same thing applies to the 3D capabilities. Additionally, I’m under the impression that 3DS emulation isn’t fully reliable for the full library, but I may be out of date.
TLDR; emulation may not be as feature complete or as quality as original hardware.

- Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic. 5 days ago:
Why would “all this talk of AI not being profitable” be what triggers discussion about LLM use in games? I would think making games fun and interesting should be what triggers any discussion about using anything in games. Are you Satya Nadella trying to find some way to make LLMs profitable? All this ignores that people have actually been talking about exactly what you described for 2 years already.

People shouldn’t use google pay in the first place. All of these things being tied together by the same group is a problem in and of itself.
- Comment on Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder 6 days ago:
They won’t kill side loading (the fact we even call it side loading instead of simply installing software is a problem). They’ll just shoot it in the knees a little. No big deal.

I’m watching people in my industry (software development) who’ve bought into this crap forget how to code in real-time while they’re producing the shittiest garbage I’ve laid eyes on as a developer.
Yes. Then I come on Lemmy and see a dedicated pack of heralds concurrently professing that they do the work of 10 devs while eating bon bons and everyone that isn’t using it is stupid. So annoying

- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 1 week ago:
When I finish a game naturally I look at the list of stuff I didn’t do yet, and think “how much time will this take? Will I even remember doing completionist stuff in 5 years or would it be better to start a new game?”

- Comment on Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error 2 weeks ago:
Just FYI, using the term luddite derogatorily may not be as cool as you think it is. They were essentially an instance of organized labor flexing their power and not really “against technological advancement” like the term gets bandied about.
- Comment on Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error 2 weeks ago:
The problem with surveillance tech is that even if it was initially implemented with the best intentions by good people that aren’t seeking to abuse it, it can change hands.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 2 weeks ago:
The end of the world narrative pushers are actually the “AI safety” people that work at the big AI companies, and people like Huang himself that like to boost completely made up narratives like “the AI threatened us when we said we’d turn it off!” (Invariably if that happened it’s because they… prompted it to…)

- Comment on How are people discovering random subdomains on my server? 2 weeks ago:
Did you yourself make a request to it or just set it up and not check it? My horrifying guess it that if you use SNI in a request every server in the middle could read the subdomain and some system in the internet routing is untrustworthy.

- Comment on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI 4 weeks ago:
Silly that it has to use hedge language like not ready “yet” and “premature”. These executives fucked up and deserve to be roasted. They didn’t make an innocent mistake. They were grossly incompetent and should be losing their jobs for not doing even the most basic due diligence before making decisions that were not only bad for the affected employees but for their customers and the company itself.

- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 month ago:
Are they? What have they actually done to make it a bad choice? From my memory the last year or so they’ve:
- Added some AI stuff that I don’t use but isn’t in my way
- Added tab groups and sidebar tabs which I use constantly
- Clarified some legalese that didn’t change anything but caused everyone to say the sky is falling for no reason
- Refused to deprecate manifest v2
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying Mozilla is perfect and does everything I want. I wish they weren’t funded by google and I wish they didn’t waste so much money on executives, but not only do you need them to stand up to google by continuing to develop firefox (all the downstream gecko browsers would collapse), you need them to continue to participate in web standards committees so google doesn’t get to run away and do whatever the fuck it wants (no other non-big-tech entity has a seat at the table or would get one)
I swear there is astroturfing for anti-mozilla sentiment to undermine their importance in the ecosystem
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 month ago:
I’m usually a firefox defender, because usually people are blowing everything they do out of proportion, and straight up making up negatives.
That said, I don’t know what a “modern AI browser” is but I know it’s something I don’t want. Hopefully “AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.” Is a serious statement.
But also, the AI features they’ve added so far have been out of my way and haven’t bothered me, and if what you’re calling for is to use chromium based browsers (gecko down stream is fine) then you are making the wrong decision for the future of the internet. Firefox, chrome, edge, and safari are the only browsers which have a snowballs chance of being accepted in corporate environments, and supporting google over Mozilla is a losing proposition.
