- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Yeah it's pretty lame.
I will say in its benefit that if there is to be AI-summaries as answers to search queries, this has the right ideas: List your sources atop, even have a separate sources tab, include direct quotes where possible (though this feature is weird, I don't always get it, maybe topic-specific).
I still don't like it (just link me to the bloody source instead) but I know a ton of people who explicitly want those AI-summaries as their answers, and this at least exposes what was used to create the answer.
Rubbish, but on a conceptual level doing better.

Oh that's a fork that's explicitly about having less options for the user then?

Is there an actual wiper-image of this? That'd be far more usable than a slowly-animated gif.

Is it an EU thing that they included a link to do this directly in the announcement mail? Either way, thanks for posting this!

I think the fact that they are very very glacially slowly delivering on things at least, all the while self-discovering software development instead of learning it, that aggravates me even more. Bloober Team could finish this faster and more competently than these clowns...

And you can be your ass that for how outdated it'll look when it releases in 2035 or so, it'll still chug at <30 FPS on your NVidia 35090.

You can just admit you were wrong, you know? Both about current legal cases and about how how proofs of negative claims are viewed in mathmatics particularly logic, and in philosophy. That's okay. Sometimes we are wrong, and we learn from accepting that.
I don't disagree Nintendo is a shithole company, after all. Just take it as a learning experience: More than one company can be shite at the same time.

You can't prove a negative
*blinks*
You are calling me the "dumbass", here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it's not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because "You cannot prove a negative" is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper). - Comment on 1 month ago:
Microsoft and Sony aren't currently trying to sue other developers into the ground
[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.

Yeah but while it ain't for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.

Yeah? Why was that ever in question in this contexdt?
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 month ago:
Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.
(That being said HuniePop I can't recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

And then you usually get "But the sex isn't realistic!!!"... yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!
Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
Of course, but whether you're decentralized or not has nothing to do with whether you as someone running a service has to decide for themselves whether to block Mississippi users or risk legal consequences?
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 1 month ago:
Each instance still has an owner. Just like the Bluesky CEO, they need to decide whether the (legal) risks are worth it to them and whether they can cover the (legal) costs if needed.
For any individual instance owner, this changes nothing.
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 2 months ago:
How come plenty federated stuff is also blocking people then? Apparently that alone does not help?
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 2 months ago:
As evident by Lemmy instances not doing the same thing. /s
There's a difference between being decentralized and doing something illegal, you know?
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 2 months ago:
Entirely understandable. Like you say, it's not your fight. This is more so if one creates something and isn't even from the US, if the wankers in a specific US state elect shitty government, that's not on you in a wholly different country to go up against.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 months ago:
It uses an anti-cheat that is loaded while the game is not? What is this and why is anybody playing it at all? O.o
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 months ago:
Ahahahaha. 😂 That is just brilliant. The kernel anti-cheat deadlock.

That's fascinating. Why where those like it? To not slide around so easily?

Very limited use case of course (long-tube bowden style feed mechanisms aren't that common any more) but damn is it cool for that case!
