  I prefer to think of it as they made a bad show on purpose, and then tried to claim that the reasons why it’s bad are the reasons why it’s good actually.

  Don’t get me wrong, the plot (what little of it I did see) was pretty good, and the acting was (mostly) pretty good, the set design and costuming and whatnot was pretty good. Very high production quality. The problems that you pointed out with the writing I 100% agree with, and relegate what could have been a great show to expensive background noise.

  Dune Prophecy did the same thing, and it was in those conversations I found the term “3rd screen content”. The studios really are doing this on purpose.

  3rd screen content. you’re not actually supposed to watch it, you’re supposed to passively absorb it while doing something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m talking about normies, not gamers, and not power users like yourself.

  Normies touch their pc for less than one hour a day, because everything they could want is in their phone. Many normies don’t even have internet connections in their home because they exclusively engage with the internet through their phone. I’ve talked to normies who don’t have pcs at all because their ipads do everything they could possibly want.

  It’s a fact that there are certain games that simply do not run on linux, because of drm or developer stupidity or any number of reasons. As a separate argument, I’d argue that those games are not worth playing. I used to be a hardcore gamer, I’ve gotten old since then and become a casual. I don’t have time nor energy to dedicate to figuring out why game x won’t run on pc y with configuration z. If the big green play button doesn’t work, I refund the damn thing, and in my almost 2 years of linux usage I have yet to need to do that. Another separate argument is my disdain for AAA games, the lack of ethics in their creation, and the abysmal conditions in which they always launch in these days.

  So as to your actual question, can I convince you to switch your gaming pc to linux? No, and I’m not even going to try. If you insist on playing the latest AAA slop that the megacorps shovel at you, then you must have windows and you must continue to allow microsoft to continue to rape your digital existence in order to have crappy entertainment that I wouldn’t dignify with the time of day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if you’re on Linux mint, check to see if mint itself is out of date. When I installed mint, the only install media I could find was 2 versions behind. Getting to the current version fixed my warframe problems.

  i remember it as “the last version of windows you’ll ever need” and they were absolutely correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to linux full time almost a year ago.

  I have been thus far entirely unsuccessful in convincing anyone else to make the jump. Normal people do not give a fuck, will not lift a finger to improve their digital lives. I’ve been telling friends and family about adblockers for YEARS, and not a single one ever bothered to do it of their own volition. If I don’t do it for them, then they just sit through ads like complacent sheep. None of them are going to change operating systems if they can’t even install a browser extension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh yeah, i forgot, my pc ran cemu just fine before my recent upgrade. I could totally play the wind waker remake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  feels like everything Nintendo does these days is is too little too late. I was playing gamecube games on my pc 15 years ago, 1080p, anti aliasing, save states, shaders, whatever controller I wanted, so on and so forth.

  This is a nice plus for people who were going to buy a switch2 anyway, but from the perspective of someone who would need to be convinced (especially after being burned by nintendos asinine refund policy a few years back), I’m a bit offended by these paltry offerings.

  I bet you’re right, but the fact that I never see it is a feature worth paying for, especially for a smooth-brain like myself.

  I would prefer to run my ais locally, but my brain glazes over if I see github. I found a a program called “gpt4all”, but it’s very limited in what models it can run, and what I could get just wasn’t as good for my use case as openai’s 4o model. Also, being able to generate images in the same conversation as text work is a feature that I’m fairly certain no other ai model can do (yet).

  I pick my battles.

  If I took a hard stance of not engaging with any business that did things I morally object to, I’d be forced to be a self-sufficient hermit in the woods.

  I say this as someone who frequently uses generative ai, and actively chooses to pay for the service.

  Fuck openai.

  This company has utterly failed to fulfill their mission statement, and they will be unable to make right by humanity until ALL software they have created is available to the public as FOSS (free and open source software). Openai claimed that this is exactly what they were going to do, and then they just didn’t. So fuckem.

  That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

  Of course not, but can you say that it’s not convenient for them to stiffle foss alternatives to microsoft/apple/google software? many open source projects are at least partially made by russian developers.

  literally one of the 2 reasons I haven’t quit reddit completely (the other being I’m slowly deleting all my comments)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  true, but let’s not pretend that they were without agency in this decision and in decisions leading up to the current context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  when it was good, it was real good. Every subject I could want in one place, and I could organize it as I wish.

  Lemmy is a confusing mess and lacking in basic features compared to reddit (although there’s probably front ends I could download that would fix my complaints).

  Obviously, I’m here, so the inconvenience is an acceptable price for not being on reddit anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that it’s not a person is a feature, not a bug.

  openai has recently made changes to the 4o model, my trusty goto for lore building and drunken rambling, and now I don’t like it. It now pretends to have emotions, and uses the slang of brainrot influencers. very “fellow kids” energy. It’s also become a sicophant, and has lost its ability to be critical of my inputs. I see these changes as highly manipulative, and it offends me that it might be working.
