- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 15 hours ago:
Browsers should probably warn if a site on which you are filling forms with personal information or payment methods have been issued with KYC or not.
Though I worry about the barrier from many people to get those certificates and then privacy concerns. It’s a balance between privacy and democracy and fighting scams.

- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 days ago:
One useful usecase that’s being exploited a lot is roleplay.
Using AI to generate a bot to do a roleplay with and maybe images to add flavour. It’s something that people like to do, and that’s totally harmless.
Like, yes, the llm was trained the books of grrm without his explicit consent and now someone is roleplay a fantasy scenario with John Snow, but who cares?
It’s not like GRRM is available to be hired as a play partner, and no one is getting profit out of it, specially if people just selfhost the models. People is just having fun. And the AI is not substituting anyone. As people didn’t hire “actors” to play their roleplay sessions anyway.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 days ago:
Many people don’t care about it. Me included, for instance.
I would give the reason why I don’t, but who doesn’t care either won’t care, and people who care I feel like they don’t really care about my personal reasons anyway, so…
But there’s that. I don’t consider things being made by AI as something terrible. If the post is fine I upvote and comment like any other post.
It’s true that the fediverse it’s still hostile towards AI conversation (this very comment have high possibilities to be drowned with downvotes) but I’m glad the general stance is changing little by little. I hope in a few years the hostility would be much more marginal, specially if the fediverse keeps growing and more people with more diverse opinions come in.

- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 5 days ago:
Algo ha habido pero no tanto como pudieras imaginar. También yo siempre he hecho oidos sordos, así que igual hay más de lo que yo he visto.
Pero lo de Franco, por desgracia sí, mucha gente dice la frase típica “con Franco estábamos mejor”. Algunos lo dicen enserio, otros para molestar. Pero es preocupante. Sobre todo cuando se escucha entre los más jóvenes.

Spain.
King is a moron, but happily he is just politically powerless.
I mean, there is that kind of nationalism patriots here. We have our share of people talking about “bringing back the spanish empire” or “bring back Franco”. And they surely obsess about national day. I just don’t care.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 5 days ago:
Not American. But I don’t even know when my country’s national day is. I know there’s one because they always do a military parade with the kind and always something goes wrong. But I can even tell what day it is until I see it on the news.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 5 days ago:
I’m glad. But don’t get your hopes up because of this. Commission could (and probably will) just say “we have considered it and we are going to do nothing”.
- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 6 days ago:
In my experience LLM get vastly better results that traditional translation software.
Also google translate is not traditionally suited for long coherent text.
And, anyway google translate if it’s not already using llm for translation will soon. Results are just better. It’s one of the tasks that language models are actually good for.

Full app, forget about it. It’s not going to work.
Concrete functions or small parts of the program 50/50 chance. Depending on the complexity.
- Comment on Microsoft's real problem was never PlayStation 1 week ago:
Last year. It still had a lot of lag moving around in my machine.
- Comment on Microsoft's real problem was never PlayStation 1 week ago:
Who even uses steam big picture?
In my experience it has always had an horrible experience.
Also pc gaming has always been a thing.
It’s just that consoles have been harder to justify not only because pc gaming have gotten better. But because consoles have gotten worse. It’s no longer plug and play, now you have to do the same steps of installing, downloading things, checking if your version of the console can run that game… At that point big consoles are harder and harder to justify.
Sony will go behind of they don’t do some changes. Xbox fell sooner because they had a thinner base. But sony is not out of danger.
Nintendo is probably fine as they rotated to handhelds, which are a different niche than normal pcs. And because they hold massive exclusive IPs.
- Comment on Is there really anything stopping an evil government from just poisoning the water supply to commit a massacre/genocide/ethnic-clensing? 1 week ago:
I mean… why do that?
If the government want to kill people in a country where they can get away with it they’ll just send armed men to shoot them.
Poisoning water supply is something the joker would do in a comic book, but on reality it won’t make a lot of sense for any big city. Going there and shooting people is probably much more effective, less expensive and let you with a not-poisoned city to settle with your own people.

There must be a limit on how many people earth can house.
Saying “not limit” would be an irrational dogma.
Once the existing of a limit is accepted we can and should discuss what number it is.
- Comment on The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead' 1 week ago:
In Spain que already have that.
There is an app that let you show only some data of your national ID and it’s verifiable by the other party. One of their usecases is specifically age verification. The app shows that the user is over 18 or under 18 and the portrait. There is a qr that can be used for instant verification.
But signing is kind of different. For signing you need an unique id.
I signed this petition with the digital certificate. It really never asked me for much more data. But the digital certificate includes full name, country and national ID number. But I suppose that’s the minimum needed for a valid signature.
- Comment on The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms] 2 weeks ago:
I’ve always thought that the only solution to this problem is being able to reverse engineering central servers and thus being effectively being able to pirate online only games.

I’m certain that tinder straight up doesn’t show your profile around if you are male presenting.
I have a female friend who also had tinder and we did a test. I set mine in men looking for women. I got her profile pretty soon, she never got my profile as an option.

It depends.
Those apps rely a lot on your physical appearance, and how good you look in a photograph.
And if you are interested in dating women you’ll have a harder time than if you try to date men.
As a bisexual person every time I open a dating app I have hundreds of likes from men, and barely one or two from women.

Tell them that’s completely true, and that if they keeps spreading the truth the black vans will come for them, they know to much.
The birds have already heard the rumors, and the clock if ticking. They better do something and shut up before they end un in “the facility”.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
- Win elections without caring how you win.
- Elected representatives do nothing for you , because they only care for wining and they don’t even know how to improve people’s lives.
- Proceed lo lose elections to the worst opposition candidates because wining without substance left people out of any hope for the electoral system.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
Wining is not sitting in a particular chair. Much less having some asshole that doesn’t care about you sitting on a chair because they convince you to vote them.
Wining is having a society worth living in.

We are not talking about science, we are talking about politics.
In science you can study gravity and then your opinion on how gravity works os more important than the opinion of someone who hasn’t study gravity.
But we are talking about politics, politics is about what people want with their lives. And no matter what have you studied or how much have you studied. The biggest authority on someone’s life it’s always going to be that one person.

Maybe no political party should have more than 5% of the votes. The fact that 50% of the population could agree on all issues doesn’t feel possible to me.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
Why you change my words?
Anyway, they think they know, but they don’t. They don’t know better than anyone else, due the nature of politics their opinion on matters should not have any more weight than the common folk, that’s why we chose democracy as a form of government anyway. If we do not believe in the fact that everyone opinion matter the samy I don’t know why would we pretend it does, let’s stablish an aristocracy and be done with it.
