- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 5 days ago:
And such is the circle of life right. I also feel that if we as a species can move beyond meat, then we should. I can live a perfectly normal life on my current vegan diet, and if that carcus is then left for other animals and fauna to have, thus leaving the cycle undisrupted.
I suppose what I’m getting at is that I’d rather let the animals that need those nutrients have it, as I’m already sorted.
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 5 days ago:
From my end, I’m a registered organ donor because I feel that I won’t need this body once I’m done with it, and if anything is useful off it for someone else, then hell, let them have my liver.
However, an animal can’t consent to that and yeah, an argument could be made that who gives a fuck, it’s a pig/chicken/cow, it’s not gonna give a shit, but death is unfortunate for anything and I’d feel more at ease that the carcus is treated respectfully and buried than me harvesting it for food.
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 3 weeks ago:
Previously, they had the versioning system 1.MAJOR.MINOR, where Major referred to a feature update, and minor referred to bug fixes or other non-breaking technical changes
The first instance where they broke this was 1.16.2 by adding the Piglin Brute, but this was so minor that hardly anyone really cared, and hey, free feature with a minor update!
Well, now they have update “drops” where the minor version means either what it used to, or it’s also a feature update, just not as big as a full update.
From the wiki:
1.20: Trails and Tales Update 1.20.3: Bats and Pots Drop 1.20.5: Armored Paws Drop 1.21: Tricky Trials Update 1.21.2: Bundles of Bravery Drop 1.21.4: The Garden Awakens Drop 1.21.5: Spring to Life Drop 1.21.6: Chase the Skies Drop 1.21.9: Copper Age Drop

Using an LLM for finance is insane, not only for the usual reasons AI is disliked here on Lemmy, but because the proper way to do this (putting aside whether you should) would be to tune a machine learning model, probably a supervised regression model, to do these predictions.

…and they want to compete with the Steam Deck?

Aww this is how I learn? Sad times indeed, but at least that lobster lived 3.5 years longer than if anyone other than Brady took him
- Comment on Old School Rally | Full Release Announcement Trailer 4 months ago:
I think I’ll be popping this onto my wishlist. I’ve been slowly trying to 100% complete V-Rally 2 for the PS1, as the game is a childhood classic of mine that I never completed and I’ve been enjoying it (when the physics don’t bug out that is…)
- Comment on Steam Introduces In-Game Performance Monitor 4 months ago:
Seems convenient, I never really felt assed to install and set up additional tools but this being built into the Steam client would make this kind of thing more likely for me to use.
That being said 95% of my games are going to tell me to upgrade my RTX 2050…

It’s listed on Adobe Stock photos[1]
I did find other similar photos[2][3] so it looks like it’s an actual thing that exists. Actually found a listing for a 1 metric ton roll of it[4].

- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 5 months ago:
From the FAQ of stopkillinggames.com website
Q. Aren’t you asking companies to support games forever? Isn’t that unrealistic?
A: No, we are not asking that at all. We are in favor of publishers ending support for a game whenever they choose. What we are asking for is that they implement an end-of-life plan to modify or patch the game so that it can run on customer systems with no further support from the company being necessary. We agree that it is unrealistic to expect companies to support games indefinitely and do not advocate for that in any way.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 9 months ago:
I still have mine as a secondary work phone. Love the size and format of it in general, although I think I’d still prefer a phone slightly bigger (~10%) and with a higher resolution (1080p?) display, mainly for media consumption.
Outside of that, I second the slow and buggy comment (although in my experience this has been mostly with Microsoft Teams, which is a buggy mess regardless)
- Comment on Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey 1 year ago:
I meant it in the sense of using an obscure operating system to be less likely to be targeted by a threat actor.
Or to be more general, using obscure software for increased security, over actually correctly configuring and using secure software.
Viruses already exist for Linux and have for a long time. They are less prevalent than Windows but this obviously shouldn’t be the primary defense strategy for your device.

…security by obscurity? Guess when Linux finally explodes in popularity, you’ll see me over on FreeBSD instead

I don’t think it is right? The environment looks completely different and the one in the post is 12", which the 11"8 (or now 12"4) never was.
