  Off topic but does the UK still have the death penalty for treason? Just wondering.

  What is placeholder text even supposed to mean? Why would they need anything more sophisticated than Lorem Ipsum? Same thing with “placeholder concept art”. If it’s used early in the production cycle it will at the very least implicitly shape the perception and thereby further development of the game. Worrying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I had that same exact reaction. Like, I loved DOS2 and know it had horror elements in it, but the overall tone was much more humorous and more cartoony. Seeing this trailer lean so heavily into edginess and shock value was a little disheartening. There’s enough awful shit out there in the real world, so I really cherish the few RPG series that reject cynicism, postmodernist storytelling and grimdark aesthetics for a more positive and hopeful feel. At least we still have Dragon Quest and Xenoblade I guess…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t know how consciousness arises, and digital neural networks seem like decent enough approximations of their biological counterparts to warrant caution. There are huge economic and ethical incentives to deny consciousness in non-humans. We do the same with animals to justify murdering them for our personal benefit. We cannot know who or what possesses consciousness. We struggle to even define it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if I told you that refusing to trade your life time for money is a good and respectable choice⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3 days work, 4 days off is the sweet spot for me. Engage in wage slavery as little as you can get away with.
  I only make enough to cover rent with 200-300€ left over each month to spend on food and other things, but I can keep myself entertained on very little.
  Having more money wouldn’t be worth spending an extra day each week getting exploited.

  Its a little annoying, but much less than I always feared. Make a note with every service you can think of, brew some coffee, put on some music and zone out for a bit haha. Pretty much done now, took less than 2 hours.
  You got this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This worked as a great reminder to ditch gmail. Just made the switch to Protonmail after a year of procrastination. Currently an hour into changing all my accounts to it, and about halfway done. Well worth it. They got a Black Friday deal right now. I went with the base Mail+Calendar package because I already got Mullvad for VPN, and don’t need cloud storage.

  Couldn’t be happier.

  SteamOS is by far the least stable experience I’ve ever had out of all consoles and handhelds I remember owning. Linux phone would be nice though.

  He’s just another fat dragon who got rich exploiting people through ownership of capital. Then he got children hooked on gambling because one billion wasn’t enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My Deck definitely had its fair share of hardware issues when I got it. Ended up getting a replacement for a faulty GPU, but the WiFi card also had its issues and kept disconnecting constantly. It was a first year LCD Deck though, so maybe they’re better now. I also used to be in a Steam Deck discord and the number of users reporting hardware (and software) trouble seemed fairly high there too.

  Valve makes up for these issues with above average customer service, but in an unsupported country I’d for sure avoid early adopting their hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No warranty in unsupported countries, and from what I’ve seen of Valve’s quality control you probably wouldn’t want to risk that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m paranoid so I view passkeys and similar streamlined login mechanisms as a way to make it easy for police to access your entire digital life once they unlock your phone. This is why manufacturers started pushing biometric unlocking so hard. Once someone has access to your person and phone they no longer need PINs or passwords to gain access to everything.
