  This was my first 3D graphics card. Could finally play Quake 3 Arena smoothly. Or was it Quake 2 already? Good times.

  You are right, I didn’t read your last paragraph close enough, apologies for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just as in almost all other cross-posts, someone missing the point.

  That they used AI for coding is not great, but responding by saying they simply won’t declare what is AI and what is not, is just childish.

  I think all the backlash they are facing is 99% directed at their tone-deaf response.

  Isn’t it pretty obvious this was 99% a money laundering scheme?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta acquires AI agent social network Moltbook⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like, why even. What could possibly be of value there? Is this connected to the security issue it became when you sent your own AI agent there?

  Wtf is that meme pic from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US state laws push age checks into the operating system⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The nudge at Norway in the end is a bit strange. They oppose enshitification. Age checks could be part of that but I wouldn’t say it is a given. I’d rather look at the Norwegian government’s stance on privacy in the internet, not sure what it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sftp client gor android?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, I am using it regularly. However large transfers that take a long time have the tendency to crash quite frequently unless you leave the app open and the screen on, in my experience.

  So at some point I setup Syncthing with a specififc folder on my phone that during charging the phone just gets synced with my server. Yes, the syncthing-fork that had some drama recently.

  Lijely they are anyway already all “bought” with non-existing money by the usual suspect…

  So the data was stored on AWS Dubai/Iran or whatever was bombed earlier. Sorry, too much happening, cannot keep track of all these locations.

  Well… it is!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 590 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I recently played I found selling off fossils you found can get some decent money in too. But you need the museum and have them identified, or maybe that worked before the museum too? Cannot remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, that part of the immune system development is probably my favourite. Specifically how in the world the body us able to detect theoretically basically anything that can exist.

  This is probably going to deep but you can read a bit on wikipedia if you are interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V(D)J_recombination

  And to pivot back what you asked, the part where the immune system can detect anything that exists would of course be bad if it detects your own body too, since it attacks what it can detect.

  So theres like a training camp for immune cells where they are tested if they can detect your own body’s cells. And if they can, they are killed off. Therefore anything that is left can distinguish between what is good (you) and what is bad (other stuff).

  There’s lots of other mechanisms around that though, otherwise allergies or intolerances wouldn’t exist, of course.

  Wtf is organic posting.

  Why would you need to “trust” them to begin with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think calling it a RAM shortage is a bit incorrect. It is not like we are running out of raw materials or something else in the supply chain is broken. It’s shitty AI companies buying RAM that is not existing yet with money they don’t have. Unfortunately there’s no good term for that, I guess.

  In all that mess and scare last year I just switched secure boot off. It still isn’t clear to me how much of a risk it is, read many different opinions online, but seems not a terribly big risk and I don’t have to worry about this crap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So to avoid that situation they are using AI generated music, made by an AI which is trained on unlicensed music because the AI companies don’t give a crap. Nice.

  Fully agree.

  Unfortunatly though, apps like that are like crack (The Office jokes incoming…?). And if you take that away the first response isn’t happiness, but the opposite and they’ll go for the next best drug, maybe meth.

  Seriously? How has no one suggested Untitled Goose Game or did I miss it? It is frigging hilarious and if you both like humor and fooling around as a mischievous goose, it is perfect! I played it with my 7 year old and we had tons of fun, plus the ending was the cherry on top!
