- Comment on GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch 3 days 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 days 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.
- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 5 days ago:
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.

eventually, imma have to actually look into lemmy front ends or clients. I stand by the statement that I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll prolly have a better time of things if I did.

if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn’t making regestry edits.
That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

someone else linked one called “shreddit”. haven’t really looked at it yet
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 week ago:
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. 1 week ago:
true, but let’s not pretend that they were without agency in this decision and in decisions leading up to the current context.

when you’re a corporation with billions of dollars and US politicians cost millions on the high end, you can choose to do whatever you want.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 week 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 1 week ago:
that is not a thought i needed in my brain just as i was trying to sleep.
what if gpt starts telling drunk me to do things? how long would it take for me to notice? I’m super awake again now, thanks
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week 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.

Civ6 still isn’t in a state that I’m happy with playing it over civ 5, or even civ4. What makes them think I’d give civ7 the time of day?
- Comment on If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it 1 week ago:
be me do awesome work that is well done and makes perfect sense derp shows up “Hey anon, what dipshit did this?” points at my work “This is stupid.” I explain the what and why. derp still thinks it’s wrong and stupid. I finish my work, with time to spare. Later, derp does the work. Takes him twice as long as it took me and it all looks like shit. Derp leaves at the end of his day, the work isn’t actually done and I have to clean up after him. I explain the above to Herp and Gerp, both think that Derp was right and I was wrong. Anons, am I the stupid?
- Comment on Pineapple was never the problem 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if you know this, but the pineapple pizza thing is a trans allegory. I didn’t decide that, it just is. Making jokes at the expense of a persecuted minority is not ok. Good comedy punches up, not down. My bad for forgetting again that internet communities don’t do subtlety.
- Comment on 6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games" 2 weeks ago:
are they still working on it? yes? then it will come out when it comes out. There’s enough content in my backlog to keep me occupied for another 5 years at least, and more new games release every day. I can wait.

- Comment on The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied. 4 weeks ago:
I’m the type to beat my head against a wall until the wall breaks. Then through that hole, I lead my friends. Fewer and fewer of my friends follow me through such holes. Last time I did such, I brought all my friends to discord (and now I regret it). It is hard as fuck to convince normies to adopt a new platform. If they’re not already invested, it will take a serious investment for them to give half a shit. I was able to get some people on discord by promising them that I was running a dnd campaign (I was at the time, but it fell apart shortly therefafter), and those people haven’t been on discord since.
How do I convince them that lemmy is the future? I don’t think I can. Fundamentally, lemmy is objectively better than reddit (not for features, but because lemmy won’t ban you for mentioning green mario and other similar administrative bullshits). I wasn’t able to convince them to use reddit back when reddit was good!
- Comment on The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied. 4 weeks ago:
The infrastructure is there, and most of the features are there, but the content comes from content creators and they’re not here yet.
For example, we have grimdank, but we don’t have vezimira and emmawatnot. We have users who repost their content, but they’re not posting here directly.
- Comment on The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied. 4 weeks ago:
The thing that I am still struggling to wrap my smooth brain around, is that I have an account on a widely federated lemmy instance. Allegedly, I should also see content from mastadon and other federated services. How do I do that? How would I even phrase the question so that a search engine could provide useful results?
actually, imma ask chat gpt. if it spits out anything usefull, i’ll report back.

- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 weeks ago:
I think I may have just done a bad job of explaining my first point:
I’m saying that manufacturers are putting these features on phones that people weren’t going to buy anyway on purpose, in order to support the narrative that nobody wants those features.
