I use LLMs every day for work. Dealing with 100% fact based information that I verify directly. I would say they are helpfully accurate / correct maybe 60% of the time at best.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 6 days ago:
It’s hard to tell if you actually are making a coherent counter argument here since your response is 90% ad homenem.
Concepts are high level ideas. Mechanics are lower level implementations of those ideas.
But I think the original poster really meant “vision” or “motif” more than they meant “concept”.
A game with lots of deep mechanics but lacking overall vision is really just seen as a fancy tech demo by most people.

You’re describing mechanics not a concept.

I think “conspiracy realist” is a good term.
You are totally correct the point is to flood people with so much batshit crazy misinformation that it’s impossible to sort out the “conspiracy theories” that are actually for sure happening right in front of our eyes.

Nah, we’re not doing this “vote with your wallet” shit anymore.
That’s just capitalist propaganda really.
Do what you need to do to survive and eek out some small form of happiness.
The time when we could actually fix these problems without direct action is long gone now.

Valid point.
But worth saying, while it’s not unheard of for punk shows to post fliers, it’s mostly a word of mouth kind of thing.
You only advertise because you want people do take some action of some kind.
Totally possible to put on a show without explicitly advertising it. It just depends on your notifications for doing the show.

The world is unfathomably massive. What is it that people want to do with bigger worlds?
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 4 weeks ago:
Firefox is the best browser (uBlock). Linux is the best OS for a growing number of things. Android is terrible but still the best mobile OS. Lemmy is the best social media platform.
Honourable mention to Luanti which most people wouldn’t say is better than Minecraft yet but it’s absolutely getting there.

It’s a fork of Gnome but its well maintined, very familliar to windows users, and very reliable.
I personally pefer KDE but Cinnamon is likely a better choice for new users.
Not to mention, Mint itself is a super reliable distro. I use Fedora but keep my partner on Mint and she has maybe 10% of the issues I do.

Most open source devs make good money as software engineers and devlop FOSS in their free time.
You are conflating having basic needs met with needing compensation. People dont need to be compensated finacially if their needs are already met.
So I think you really might mean “People with unmet needs can’t work for free”

You are literally typing on Lemmy. How much did you pay to use this? See any ads around?
Open souce devs would strongly disagree with this.
